Mark Zuckerberg says his goal for the next decade is to build open-source platforms and have them win

Image
 The debate between closed and open-source models in technology continues, highlighting distinct advantages for each. Closed models tend to offer enhanced security due to the inaccessibility of their source code, making them less vulnerable to exploitation. In contrast, open-source models can accelerate technological development and democratize access, as anyone can modify and redistribute the code. Mark Zuckerberg has expressed a vision for the future that favors the growth of open platforms. He stated, "Part of my goal for the next 10-15 years... is to build the next generation of open platforms and have the open platforms win," predicting that this shift will invigorate the tech industry.

Cuban has expressed regret for not following this guidance earlier, admitting he "should have paid off my cards every 30 days." Additionally, it's important to avoid charging more than you can afford and to pay your balance in full each month. Relying on minimum payments can lead to accumulating interest on your credit card debt, making it harder to manage your finances effecti...
