<p>>The experience with Visual Studio is stellar.<p>I assume you mean just the Windows Visual Studio? The Mac version is not exactly on par with the Windows. Yeah C# is great, but one would need Window's version of VS (NOT VS Code) to take full advantage of C#. For me that is a deal breaker, when the DX of a language is tight to a proprietary sourced IDE by MS.</p>

<p>For sure, economic assessment is one way to figure out what to do.<p>When we as a civilization making decisions ending up where we are now (depleted soil and what else not looming). It does make one wonder if the current financial incentives is NOT aligned with the incentives of living beings on the planet? How can we make it so?<p>Where and when did that misalignment happened?</p>

<p>Ah never mind, read through the site a bit more. They are aiming to be the Mondragon [1] of music. The co-op modal seems interesting, so is socially beneficial corp. In the end of day it is all about implementation. It is nice that there are lawyers and economists involved, but are the founders sound artists? have they toured? run a music venue? Asking for the founding fee of $100 seems quite a bit much, but then again does seems a bit like the vibe coming from LA area who is out of touch with the rest of the world.<p>[1]<a href="https://www.mondragon-corporation.com/en/" rel="nofollow">https://www.mondragon-corporation.com/en/</a></p>

<p>>The other factor, he said, was that you'll suffer lower yields for a few years after you stop tilling, while the soil builds up a proper layer of decomposing matter on top. Or at least, farmers are afraid that could happen. And it's not a risk worth taking in their view.<p>Maybe it has more the fact that humans are risk averse. We just don't want to make financial sacrificed in the short term to get longer term rewards. Many of us want to do good, but we also don't want our 401ks and subsidies to go down.</p>

<p>>Take the recent Lichess downtime, for example. Their main server had a hardware issue that required physical intervention. This meant the site was down for over 10 hours, and there wasn't much they could do except wait for OVH to send a tech.<p>If you not a HN person with systemadmin skills yes. But is NOT that hard to have in house RADI hd setup, with failover server. Or failover NAT gateway. AWS and cloud provider are just a rip off.</p>
