One of the main goals of metrics collection is to analyze whether Red Hat is achieving its goal to make Fedora Workstation the premier developer platform for cloud software development. Accordingly, we want to know things like which IDEs are most popular among our users, and which runtimes are used to create containers using Toolbx.

Reading this, nodded along mostly in agreement until the author attempted to compare the crypto community to "Scientology and their beliefs about alien thetans and e-meters"... come on, that's a dubious stretch in logic and with that one mean comment makes his points, as a whole, much less credible.

The return on investment of this deal is easily worth it for Crypto.com -- "perception is reality"; they are paying around $35 million per year, and they probably already earned back the first few years of expenses in the form of new customer deposits, the mainstream consumers who saw the announcement of this deal on their local morning news or radio host gossip. Foris DAX MT Limited (d/b/a Crypto.com) being a Malta entity, funded with crypto, the principals can easily back out of the deal before the 20-year term... Genius.

Surprised that the DoD cannot contractually gag a high-level departure from sharing internal dirty laundry like this, as an issue of national security, when your typical corp would without a doubt suppress this kind of public lamentation. Does not look good for the US on the world stage.

We see a lot of retail investors being fomo’d (by media, by peers, and forum threads like this) into dumping cash into stocks, like everyone else. That will likely not end well. Cash is a call option on opportunity.

Vanguard PAS (Personal Advisory Service) lately recommends 60/40 diversification on equities, where domestic represents 60% and international 40%. VTIAX is a low-cost fund to hold.
