Ethereum based research projects are addressing this. There is a currently active and usable project called Railgun which allows for hidden balances and transactions. Aztec network is launching soon which is a fully private L2 chain. It has taken a really long time but it seems the next few years will bring real privacy.

I like node and have used it previously with home.assistant. However I pulled back from using it as hA's own automations got better. Node's big weakness is a lack of visibility into what happened. There is no easy debugging flow to see what happened or how, whereas ha shows you everything. The friction of poor debugging makes ha system superior even if it is a little "weaker" .

There are many countries in the EU that get many more funds per person than Poland and have much worse outcomes.

Some moron always show up with the "but it was all the EU subsidies" talking point, which is quite frankly part of racist tropes of eastern Europeans being dumb and worse than westerners. Could you imagine them accomplishing anything on their own? That's ridiculous. It's us, the western saviors, who did this with our penny subsidies!

I like kde connect, but find it randomly breaks every month or so and for the life of me cannot figure out why. A week or so later it starts working again.

Its been interesting how much of a nothingburger fednow ended up being.

Lack of adoption probably because it seems to function just as a faster ACH, without any of the UX improvements systems like Pix, UPI, blik, etc have...

Because Obama rewrote the Healthcare laws to prioritize insurance companies above all else.

Their stocks have been doing great!

It’s people like you that are too honest that these companies make most their money from.

They are arbitraging morality. Providing a financial incentive to be shitty and dishonest.

>For every project like this one, there are 1000 others where someone spent 15 hrs/week for 5 years, built something really cool, but never got any funding or traction.

You're probably right, but care to name some examples? I can't think of a single blog or article about failed companies or projects.I think they would be interesting to read and dissect.

It seems that people who have that sort of persistence and choose to do something are quite rare, making the survivorship bias of posting successes even harder to balance out.
