@ItsDave_ADA Dave, don't be discouraged. Many of us appreciate you efforts, dedication and openness.

On reflection I will not be posting any further content about Midnight. The way this has been framed misses the wider context that actually matters for Cardano. It also places me in a position that does not accurately reflect my intentions or the work I have been doing. To be candid, that is disappointing and has genuinly upset me.

@MathMatize Pure evil

@Lysander18 @imetatronink I was 5. Seating in church with my grandmother. The priest's sermon mentioned death and I started trying to figure out how long someone would be dead for. Had a panic attack when I discovered infinity. But, one carries on, somehow...

@imetatronink I don't remember any such moment. Probably as children death seemed impossibly far off in the future and a year seems like an very long time when you're only 6. Also, note how children seem fearless when learning gymnastics, skating, etc.

📜 Intuition of Mortality Whatever became of the moment when one first knew about death? There must have been one, a moment, in childhood, when it first occurred to you that you don't go on forever. It must have been shattering, stamped into one's memory. And yet I can't remember it. It never occurred to me at all. We must be born with an intuition of mortality. Before we know the word for it, before we know that there are words, out we come, bloodied and squalling, with the knowledge that for all the points of the compass, there's only one direction and time is its only measure. — Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead vimeo.com/380397906

@santicarmuega I think you're right. That new dynamic will appear. Just wonder how large it will be

@ubix It's a fair point, but I think the dynamics are changing. SDK vendors (ex-SaaS vendors) will still provide low-level security and infrastructure robustness, but the app layer can now be created and managed successfully with much less human effort. x.com/santicarmuega/…

SaaS vendors will need to become SDK vendors quickly or risk going out of business. Developers will be fine. We'll start seeing medium and small companies hire small teams of devs able to leverage AI to build in-house solutions much more tailored than general-purpose SaaS. Businesses will always prefer software that adapts to their procedures instead of the other way around. Traditionally, the effort of building and maintaining custom software outweighed the benefits. This is no longer the case.

@ithacarising @AaronBastani Or is the difference financialisation?

The real divergence between our two nations lies not in hardware or infrastructure but in the deeper habits of mind. France clings to the rhetoric of grandeur while quietly depending on European partners. Britain, for better or worse, has preferred quiet adaptability to grandiose declarations. To wish ourselves transported to the French predicament is, in truth, to mistake a different form of precariousness for genuine strength - a misjudgment as old as the Entente Cordiale itself. The difference is one of temperament. The French do carry themselves with that unmistakable national certitude, a kind of built-in swagger that looks like arrogance when viewed from across the Channel but feels, to them, like the natural posture of a people who once had the good taste to invent civilisation and have never quite got over it. Meanwhile the British, poor things, shuffle about in a perpetual identity crisis, forever apologising for having once ruled a quarter of the globe and now unsure whether to be proud of Shakespeare or ashamed of the weather. It's as if the French had been handed a script marked "Enter with panache" while the English got one that reads "Mumble incoherently and hope nobody notices." One lot struts, the other lot shrugs. Somehow both manage to convince themselves they're the ones who have it right.

France has sovereign cloud, Britain relies on AWS. France has its own nukes, Britain relies on US for trident missiles. France makes nearly all electricity from nuclear, Britain closes reactors. France makes microprocessors, Britain doesn’t. France is one of the world’s largest wheat producers, Britain…. France is laced with high speed trains and trams, Britain…. I’d love Britain to be at a similar point to France. If only!

@GeromanAT Have you got sources with stats to back up the economic impact

China is pissed off after they opened a diplomatic office "of Taiwan" 4 years ago. Since then China has cut off that country completely which led to a complete melt down of their economy. China basically erased that joke of a country off their business maps.

@krzyzanowskim Dude, NeXT at the time was a century ahead of that trash.

Visual Basic IDE (1991) revolutionized programming. It democratized it, until JS-based web frameworks un-democratized it two decades later. - Visual designer (no code needed) - BASIC (no coder needed) - Fast (no expensive computer needed) - All-in-one (no toolchain or sophisticated build process needed)

@minusone @Kathleen_Tyson_ @grantshapps @Bart_DeWever Russia may be lawless but we are not. We either follow the rule of law, or change the the law. But not arbitrarily decide to steal.

@Kathleen_Tyson_ @grantshapps @Bart_DeWever is invasion of other countries legal? how about occupation? how about killing and raping? stealing children? who’s and how going to pay for all this lawlessness? so, shut up and gfy, russian shill

Belgium was invaded in WWII. It’s a small, relatively defenceless country that exists only because aggression was stopped. Yet PM @Bart_DeWever is blocking Europe from using frozen Russian funds to help Ukraine. If Putin succeeds, who’s next? For god sake... Wake up Belgium!🇧🇪🇪🇺

@ItsDave_ADA Thank you Dave!

The last few days went a bit like this, fighting back against misinformation.

@elraulito To me the biggest obstacle is the taxes involved. Not the tax amounts but the fact that tax software doesn't usually understand all the linked transactions, leaving a manual mess to sort out.

There are currently less than 1000 unique wallets interacting with Cardano lending and borrowing 📉 Do you want Cardano to grow? 🔹Use protocols 🔹Play with DeFi 🔹Onboard the community Here how to play with Fluid today 👇 app.fluidtokens.com/ada/markets

@LaPetiteADA Cardano is going to break the Internet

@SpencerHakimian Maybe hope starts when one doesn't see the politics as a simplistic binary world. Think! Don't belong to a club.

If you are a liberal, tell me something you admire about conservatives. If you are conservative, tell me something you admire about liberals. This app has been nasty this week. Let’s spread some hope.

@CardanoSaint @AltcoinDaily This. If one wants centralised systems, TradFi already has them and they're excellent and regulated.

@AltcoinDaily I am here neither for stablecoins nor NASDAQ! I am here for $ADA and Bitcoin Defi! For anything else one doesn’t need to be in this space!

Quick take: #Ethereum owns stablecoins – the backbone of DeFi. #Solana is building a decentralized NASDAQ - tokenizing Real-World Assets (RWAs). #Cardano's edge - unlocking Bitcoin DeFi Which one are you betting on? #crypto

@BTCTreasurer @dgtechllc @TrumpTruthOnX Except for metrics that involve numbers

@dgtechllc @TrumpTruthOnX Inflation is literally down by every single metric.

Jerome “Too Late” Powell has done it again!!! He is TOO LATE, and actually, TOO ANGRY, TOO STUPID, & TOO POLITICAL, to have the job of Fed Chair. He is costing our Country TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS, in addition to one of the most incompetent, or corrupt, renovations of a building(s) in the history of construction! Put another way,“Too Late” is a TOTAL LOSER, and our Country is paying the price!

The New Cold War is hotting up with young Westerners its obvious victims. Kickstarter, on Washington’s instructions, is suspending crowdfunding campaigns by small, promising Chinese startups like Yonbo (who are developing an evolving domestic robot). Since there is no shortage of funding within China, the US strategy is all about preventing young Westerners from participating in exciting projects by Chinese non-government small-scale start-ups that the likes of Google and Amazon are wilfully destroying – through their predatory behaviour – in the West. And so the West’s younger generations are facing a high-tech landscape that is becoming uglier, more arid by the day. kickstarter.com/projects/xorig…

@Saharazade123 @Glenn_Diesen He could but he also wants stable coins and they're easy to move around. Failing that there's always BTC

@Glenn_Diesen Well he could tax remittances and end immigration....that would be a start

Either with us or against us... Trump decides to punish India for failing to display obedience

@agustinenada He was here when times were hard and was a voice of encouragement and a defender of Cardano. Whale, you'll be missed.
