AGPL sounds quite toothless regarding enforceability, and very unattractive from an open source user's perspective. If my changes aren't visible in the UI, I doubt I'd respect the terms, either. Author should choose a more ex

You'd have to get the warm and fuzzy emotional parts (community, public square, commons) codified into the license in order to enforce that "higher standard".

I worry for San Diego. I moved here to escape the bay area, too. I figure there's only a couple or so years until this region gets wrecked by California politics, too. Then, it'll be time to finally move on back to America. I ju

Unions are the antithesis of a meritocracy. Try promoting based on seniority over merit in a tech. business, and I doubt you'll stay competitive for very long. I don't know if kickstarter counts as a pure "tech company"

Precisely true. For a state so prescient about the effects of climate change, it's downright hypocritical to foresee droughts and fires but then allow that zoning (it's the same to worse in Sonoma, Mendocino, Humboldt). All the t

Many (Californians) disparage the notion of individual responsibility, and see things as collective concerns.
