"For the “very #few” there is too much – an #obscene #accumulation of #wealth, #influence, and #power that #distorts #markets and #corrupts #governance and #dictates #narratives. This “too much” is not simply material abundance; it is the #privilege of #unfettered #access, the comfort of #unchallenged #authority and the #luxury of #shaping #reality to fit your own design."

> Q: So what do you think, then, of this idea that money #corrupts and if you earn a lot of money at some point you're going to be evil and selfish and not care about other people?

Dev #corrupts NPM #libs 'colors' and 'faker' breaking thousands of apps

Users of popular open-source libraries 'colors' and 'faker' were left stunned after they saw their applications, using these libraries, printing gibberish data and breaking. Some surmised if the NPM libraries had been compromised, but it turns out there's more to the story.
