Free, unfettered law is kryptonite for code publishers.
UpCodes has been defending the right to read and speak the law for almost a decade now.
We reflect here about the many lawsuits we've successfully defended. And the publishers' push in Congress.

Since there's yet another article claiming that we "removed" Sam because partners distrusted him, no, we didn't. It's not because I want to defend Sam that I keep insisting on this. It's because it's so annoying to read false accounts of my own actions.

Veteran detained by ICE: I identified myself as a US citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out. Even after I complied, I was taken to a detention center and held for 3 days without charges. No phone call, no lawyer, no medical care, even though my skin burned from the chemicals.
A lot of countries basically are caught in a trap from which there is no escape.
1) They have a lot of old people. They need healthcare, pensions, etc. This is *incredibly* expensive.
2) More old people means less tax money, more tax burden on the increasingly few working people and families.
3) You either a) sacrifice all other public services to keep the old person money pipe flowing, b) cut benefits to old people, or c) increase immigration.
4) You get voted out because all of these are immensely unpopular.
You can try to increase productivity or growth... by this is hard, and many of the ways it can be done (like deregulation, building liberalization, and capital investment) are also expensive and politically unpopular.
The same business leaders who were silent about wokeness & DEI are now silent about tariffs. The situation changes, but the cowardice remains the same.
Well, on one hand, your retirement savings are vanishing into thin air right in front of your eyes.
But on the bright side, you get to hear someone named "Batya Ungar-Sargon" lecture you about how this is all part of the plan of "MAGA Leftism"

(Yeah, I know this tweet will get hidden because it has a link in it, and that I'm supposed to put the link in a reply. But that's so stupid that I refuse to do it.)
today is @ycombinator's 20th birthday
this past weekend during alumni demo day, we had the chance to meet and present to alumni from the many different batches spanning YC's 20 years of existence
from @amasad (founder, replit) to @tlbtlbtlb (co-founder, YC), the house was packed with living legends
grateful to be able to call myself a part of this collective & happy birthday to dear YC
