You can always vote with your wallet and choose a competitor that is not doing that.

I actually had good results with the free plan but with strong edit limitations (which I explicitly prompt for). Its the same underlying models as cursor (claude 4 is by far the best) and I find it a little easier to use because it takes up the full screen and is less eager than cursor somehow.
In these situations I like to point out that Pakistan also has nukes, Muslim terrorists, and skirmishes with another ally of ours (India) and there's no political campaign to crush them over it.
A lot of this is just a consequence of repeated exposure to foreign propaganda. It's not reasonable policy.
Does Pakistan make speeches declaring that they will wipe Israel off the map?
crypto_is_king commented on Ask HN: How are you cleaning and transforming data before imports/uploads? · Posted by u/dataflowmapper
This has been an interest of mine for quite a while.
Right now the most relevant mapping process I have to do is taking Amazon product data and transforming it to a Shopify upload csv.
The largest of these is around 20k rows, so nothing crazy.
There are apps that do this via APIs, but at a large enough scale, they are not reliable.
The process takes around 10 hours, with the help of a VA who does the lower level cleaning stuff.
I made a bare bones spreadsheet with under 10 columns, which makes it much easier to work with the data.
Once I'm satisfied, I run it through a python script, which turns it into a Shopify conforming csv.
Because of different needs of clients, I almost always have to modify the script, but less and less each time, and Cursor makes the edits pretty easy, as long as I review each proposed change and prevent it from getting the script.
Good thing about cursor is that it can run its own tests against the input csv in agent mode and debug autonomously.

This is just common sense, and if you think otherwise you're in the tiny minority.

> I've heard Vitalik Buterin (Ethereum creator) make the distinction between logical, architectural, and governance decentralization. Crypto projects tend to achieve the second, but not the first or third.
This is even worse than it sounds. Crypto projects like DAOs actually make hidden centralization a breeze for well-funded adversaries.
If someone has enough money, they can simply take over a DAO by buying enough tokens to swing the votes in the direction they want. Thanks to the way most blockchain solutions are implemented, they can even accumulate all of these tokens in ways that appear decentralized across many unique wallets that are nevertheless controlled by a central party.
Big players can acquire centralized control of decentralized projects in ways that consumers and regulators wouldn't even be able to detect.
Decentralized, tokenized ownership structures are definitely not "power to the people" structures. They are "power to the money" structures, where whoever can spend the most money is guaranteed to win and all of the participants have given up their ability to ever even know when it's happening.
This is true, but at some point the community will figure out what's going on, and either leave to a more promising and uncompromised project, or find a way to limit the voting power of the attacker. You can see this happening now with the Curve Wars.
