Not practically, because once you make a library with an mit license available to anyone, they can give to anyone you didn't "want" to give it to, per the mit license.

That's a bit of an exaggeration don't you think? Who actually arrives at an airport 3 hours before departure?

Agreed. Norwegian has a really fairly priced premium fare (not as nice as other intl bi clas, but terrific value). The 787s that they fly also make a big difference in comfort because of the higher humidity, lower noise, and better air qual

Even if the supply of the currency can't be expanded, can't credit still be issued from the supply of currency that the lender has?

interesting! i had no idea that it used to be deductible (until 1986 apparently). i never really agreed with mortgage interest being deductible, but i at least understand the purported reasoning (eg. home ownership, american dream etc). but

interchange can be pretty high, especially for premium reward cards. what changed recently was interchange on debit cards (which used to be much higher in the US). this is why debit issuers no longer offer any real sort of "points&quo

yeah, and Walgreens will allow you to buy a 40 cent pack of gum with a credit card. They are surely losing money on that transaction. Your donut shop is losing over 30% when they let you buy a single donut for 1.50$ with your card. That&#x2

What do you mean where the heck is 3 percent even allowed? How do you think banks in the USA are issuing 2 percent cash back credit cards? Who do you think is paying for that?

The average american has something like 10k in credit card debt.

I think this is too one sided. In these types of situations you generally have to allocate some of the blame to the company, instead of the employee. Sure, the employee might not be performing to expectations, but why were they hired in the

I visited their NYC offices in 2008. we were talking to them about some openstack/cloud stuff at the time. I went in jeans and a polo. My contact there emailed after saying the meeting went well, but to please wear a dress shirt and no

I thought the credentials showed that you had completed the (purportedly valuable) education?

Totally agree. I know some people who this has happened to, and it's the only way I support the concept of a non- compete.

This story isn't emphasizing an important point: the stock price of many tech companies - amazon, google, Microsoft - were pegged to exactly $123.46 for multiple hours. This is likely 123.456 rounded to 2 decimals. To me this smells li

It can be one sided taking, and _often_ is. Apple and Microsoft, for example, have taken significantly from BSD/Apache-like code for their own OSes. They wouldn't have been able to do that with GPL-like code.

A faster, well engineered, drop in replacement for Cassandra is a pretty competitive niche in of itself, don't you think?

You're completely correct, but missing the real 'reason' why they dont 'do your taxes' or at least send you a completed return to sign: immense lobbying power by the tax preparation industry. H&R Block and liter

It's a lot harder to monetize free->paid if you don't even know who your free users are. Requiring the creation of a Nylas ID for the free tier addresses this. Your ecommerce example doesn't fit the situation here; the eco

mermaid seems really cool. i first got turned on to it when jdbranham created a diagram plugin for grafana, based on mermaid. if you're using grafana, it allows you to generate mermaid-powered diagrams powered from your tsdb. check it

No offense taken ;) You're spot on about needing a solid and scalable backend; it’s more than 'nice graphs'. We think Grafana is a great piece in the chain to start with. We're trying to put as much momentum behind it as

Agree that the SaaS offerings are a lot more turnkey; the integrations and polish that make all the difference. What you call a 'clusterfuck' is really a wider ecosystem. It would be pretty crazy for a single organization to use a

Agreed with the sentiment re: streamlined experience. We struggled a bit with whether or not it really "belonged" in Grafana, but we believe in alerting while "in the flow". It makes a lot of sense (from an experience st

A lie flat biz seat/pod, on a long haul flight, generally takes up well more than double the space as an econo seat, no? "get your own armrest with minimal additional legroom" does exist, on many carriers. It's called Pr

fly by wire (necessary for aerodynamically unstable aircraft) shouldn't really make autonomous/unmanned flight harder, should it? the computer _already_ knows how to translate "pilot intent" into stable flight.

Openstack is really expensive. It's free as in "here's a horse, it's free"; it actually has supremely high costs! The marketing hype far exceeds the technical credibility. But the train has left the station.
