Based on its name, I have to assume the EU Data Act only applies in the EU. So this will still be an issue for anyone who doesn’t live in the EU.

Have you seen what he posts on Twitter?

The billions of dollars the company raised in its last two funding rounds were contingent on successfully removing this limit on investor returns.

No, those were the terms when the company was “for profit.” Now that they’re “nonprofit” the investors can make unlimited profit.

(6) Try buying a toilet that uses more than 1.6 gallons per flush in the US. Oh wait, you can’t, it’s banned.

Not the best example since they’re trying to reverse all of these environmental protections.

Or you play a cat-and-mouse game with the authorities in that country as they try to block access to your servers. Depending on your moral values this might be preferable to blindly following the laws of authoritarian regimes.

It’s really the country you’re based in that matters the most.

You also don’t need a 16h plane flight to travel. It can be MUCH cheaper, and shorter.

You don’t have to leave the continent, just getting away for a day or two can do wonders.

Who would they sell it to?

According to the article, they were under investigation for over 5 years. I wonder if they would be less willing to open new investigations given recent events.

IMO some people take this too literally. Just because you want to be treated a certain way doesn’t mean other people want to be treated that way.

Depression isn’t the same thing as sadness, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it disqualifies someone from being an astronaut. Most people don’t have depression, but everyone feels sadness at some point in their lives.

To answer your question, astronauts are trained to work under extreme stress, so they would know how to compartmentalize the pain and focus on completing the mission. Similar to soldiers.

Nothing to worry about unless you’ve signed a contract with someone. Normally when you sign with a record label you’re selling them the rights to your music, so they could sue you if you try to give it away or sell it without them being involved. Record labels are known to be pretty predatory…

That doesn’t explain why the new bikes have older technology than the bikes they’re urging people to trade in.

If they send 2 emails per subdomain per year, that could easily be 10s of millions which would make the cost per email measured in thousandths of a cent. And I could see the number of subdomains being larger by a factor of 10, maybe more.

Another angle: someone with IT experience needs to manage the system that seems emails, and other engineers need to integrate other systems with the email reminder system. The time spent on engineering could easily add up to thousands per year, if not tens of thousands.

I’m guessing their figure is based on both running costs and engineering costs.

If your server goes down you’ll miss incoming emails, and IMO residential ISP and power service isn’t reliable enough for your main email address. If mail can’t get delivered people get the impression you gave them a fake email address, which can be more than embarrassing.

It’s the only service I don’t self-hosted, although I do backup my email on my home server. Email protocols don’t tolerate downtime, if your server is temporarily unreachable you won’t get messages and people will probably assume the email address/domain isn’t even valid.

This doesn’t answer OP’s question, but since other people might be interested, MIT also has free graduate level courses. If you choose to pay for a certificate of completion for the courses then they can also count as credits towards a degree at MIT, Harvard, etc.

That seems like a much lower salary than they would get running a for-profit tech company, though. Moving out of SF would also make it harder to hire people with a lot of experience in tech.
