> Operating as a profitable non-profit foundation with no owners, where all profits are reinvested into the project
Neither myself nor Hannah own any shares, assets, domains, trademarks, or other companies related to Ghost. Everything is owned by the Foundation.
our intention is to expand the seats on Ghost's board of trustees beyond myself and Hannah.
I don’t see how this is fundamentally different from the WP Foundation approach. It still depends on people who despite claiming an intention haven’t given up control.
Their about page claims non profit, Wikipedia and others say registered in Singapore but I don’t see anything under “ghost” as a society [0] or as a charity [1]. For something that has “believe in being transparent” in the about page, the lack of any registration number or a link to the touted constitution is odd.

Ghost Foundation is a Company Limited by Guarantee [1] in Singapore. The UEN is 201605007D.
As I wrote above, it's not a charity, and therefore doesn't need to have charitable goals.
Seems like it’s filings and meetings are done about this time of year. [0] The move to Singapore is super interesting, esp with dsivers input. Thanks for linking to it.
Since the 1990s the first line treatment has been microdosing meth, not crack.
[I]n late 1984 and 1985; this rapid increase in use and availability was named the "crack epidemic", which began to wane in the 1990s. The use of another highly addictive stimulant drug, crystal meth, ballooned between 1994 and 2004.
I think a difference between an application and a library (or module, etc) is that it is ok for the latter to expect sanitized input and be wrapped in try/catch blocks. The world is less finite than code and a module might be deployed in a variety of contexts which might make some checks undesirable.
In computing, the robustness principle is a design guideline for software that states: "be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from others". It is often reworded as: "be conservative in what you send, be liberal in what you accept". The principle is also known as Postel's law, after Jon Postel, who used the wording in an early specification of TCP.
If that's the case, the library should also have another function or method that can validate the barcode if the application should so choose. The library is the barcode expert, the app is the business logic expert. Expecting every app to now become barcode experts doesn't make sense.
Also, that law gets quoted, and IMO is a rather large design mistake.
The library also has the best chance to fix and prevent security issues systemically. I have played this game for a while now. Library engineers often want to pass the buck onto users of their tools. That is not good developer or user experience. Also crashing is the opposite of robust.
A possibly apocryphal didactic story relevant because if an HTTP implementation misses 418, what else does it miss?:
The story goes that Van Halen had stipulated on their concert rider that they wanted M&M candy backstage, but with all the brown ones removed.
In his autobiography ‘Crazy From the Heat’ singer David Lee Roth explained this was not just a childish request, but in fact was a cunning test whereby he could tell instantly if the venue was safe or not.
He reasoned that if a concert venue did put brown M&Ms out, then they cannot have read the rider properly and that they then might also have made other more dangerous errors, such as in their electricity supply or stage weight capacity.
“PEN America today sharply criticized some Republican members of Congress”
The press release claims that the org sharply criticized but did not provide any evidence that actually occurred. Did they do this via a text message, visit offices or what?

Jonathan Friedman, Sy Syms director of PEN America’s U.S. Free Expression programs, said:
“The irony cannot be lost here: government officials have used their positions to muscle out a scholar of authoritarianism from a prestigious lecture,"

Rule one for reading headlines: the relationship between each component of a sentence is often not what you would expect.
In this example, an understandable misreading might be that the astronauts who rode in the Starliner to the ISS returned. In actuality, this set of astronauts' [0] only relationship with Starliner is that their time at ISS overlapped with Starliner. The former crew of Starliner is still planned to return with the subsequent mission [1].
Well, Crew 8 was also delayed by the Starliner issue. [0] Just not by nearly as much as the flight test crew!
So I think the headline is accurate, but still misleading because there are two crews that the headline could (eventually) refer to — one where there's basically no story that anyone is interested in (Crew 8) and another where the story is full of drama and closely watched (flight test crew).
As long as your satellite can withstand 10,000 Gs, spinlaunch will work great.
Founded in 2014, SpinLaunch has secured significant funding and has collaborated with major organizations like NASA, Airbus, and Cornell University, using their equipment in various tests. The technology has successfully withstood forces of up to 10,000 Gs, equivalent to 10,000 times Earth's gravitational pull, demonstrating its robustness.
Hopefully the minds behind it don't go the way of arty genius gone rogue Gerald Bull: "NARRATOR: To the end of his days, Bull was obsessed with what he saw as the injustice of his four‑month jail term."
You gotta love how they just handwave away the fact that this is basically impossible with current technology. I guess payload design to such specs will be the customer's problem.
