I didn't say #2 was better, I said he was saving more. It's certainly possible to design any number of scenarios where someone who saves more ends up with less in the end.

You need a portfolio lender since the GSEs won't buy an interest-only mortgage. Union Bank, Navy Federal, and SoFi are some examples.

What does any of what you wrote have to do with whether or not it's savings. You're just saying you think some forms of savings are better than others.

by ralph84 7y ago
It absolutely is savings. Compare two people: Person #1 - Makes $6000/month - Has an interest-only mortgage payment of $1000/month (yes it's still possible to get interest-only mortgages) - All other expenses are $4000/m

An SSH key is one factor. There are various methods for protecting the key with additional factors, but none of the git hosts provide a way to require those additional factors. So as an org owner you're left either trusting every one

IBM, Atlassian, CA, GitHub, Microsoft, Micro Focus, Perforce, to name a few. Even if you believe GitLab's 100,000 number, Atlassian claims more than that and they're a public company so less likely to fudge the numbers.

Maybe for GNU project contributors, but look at some of the most currently popular FOSS projects. They all came from companies that rely heavily on proprietary software for their core business. They're certainly not contributing to FOS

by ralph84 7y ago
Most people engage with FOSS for practical reasons, not ideological reasons. Given that developers of proprietary software have made a lot more money on the whole than developers of FOSS, I don't see that changing anytime soon.

The point of Chapter 11 is the company continues operating. To use a transportation example, all three of the largest airlines in the US went through Chapter 11 and never stopped flying during the process.

IBM would make more sense than Google. Despite the topic of TFA, almost all of GitLab's ARR comes from their on-prem offering not their SaaS offering. IBM is much better positioned to sell and support on-prem software than Google. IBM
