agreed. your software isn’t finished when it passes final qa. it isn’t finished when you deploy it to production. it isn’t finished when it has no known bugs. it’s only finished when your last user is dead.

don't know why you're being downvoted. i agree with you. you want the best possible people wanting to do this job, without having to sacrifice their compensation relative to the private sector. i think this works well for singa

10x dilution seems super high to me, even with 845m in funding.

the singapore government has birth incentives well beyond a $500 voucher. plus, there are decent HDB flats available for $500k.

elasticsearch wasn't ever GPL or AGPL to my knowledge. it was Apache licensed, and then they switched to SSPL.

i said general aviation, not commercial aviation; commercial aviation has a better safety story by _every_ metric, by a large margin. general aviation is a lot of small airplanes owned by the 'driver'; akin to 'flying cars&#x

do you mean election day should be changed to MLK's birthday?

exactly. it’s amazing to me that the mainstream media (eg cnn) is making such a big issue about this when it’s literally all about unrealized gains (ie not “income”).

it might be an FAA requirement to be upright, but iirc some other international airlines (eg. virgin atlantic, air new zealand) allow you to keep your biz class seat in seating position during takeoff and landing.

i agree with the gist of your comment, but the us government will never allow boeing to truly implode.

the difference is not just the regulations and risk tolerance. it's also a regression in skills, culture, accountability, and urgency.

other than lower speeds during approach and departure around controlled airspace with speed restrictions, the overwhelming majority of a transatlantic flight will be at full speed. of course, there are exceptions with congestion, hold patte

he is doing that to make the publicy-traded company more profitable, for his shareholders. what exactly is the problem here? how is he 'manipulating' the cryto-currency markets? yes, a lot of people pay attention to what he says,

yes, i think the way i’ve heard it pitched is that deploying the parachute will result in “a bad day for the insurance company, and a great day for the pilots and passengers”

it’s against the terms of all merchant accounts to use them as a cash advance for yourself, even if there is zero percent cash back. also, what sort of prepaid visa ever offered 6% cash back?

anyone can change the license of apache software, without any permission. the right to do so is built into the apache license.

you realize that if you contribute to a company apache project without a CLA, they can change the license out from under you to _any_ license that they want, right? [note: am co-founder/ceo of grafana labs]

thanks for saying the AGPL is nice; we think it strikes the right balance. but, i'm curious to understand your perspective here. do you mean to say that you'd never contribute to an apache licensed project? anything that is apache

do you think that earning money or having a viable business model is a bad thing? look at our actions since the inception of the company, as well as our "big tent" philosophy; i think they speak for ourselves. we built a sustainab

nope, that wouldn't be a modification to the AGPL-licensed grafana. you are free to do that. plus, dashboards and configuration are inherently ("source available"), so even if one were to consider them to be modifications (wh

i don’t think “rich” has much to do with it. look how much economic loss and fiscal stimulus many countries have endured, on a per capita basis. in the grand scheme of thing, relative to that, does it matter whether they pay 20$, 40$, 100$
