This is not throttling but degraded peering, though the effect for the end user is identical.

Don't assume cost of life in US and Switzerland are identical (unless you live in the bay area they are not).

The number is indexed on price and salary changes (similar to retirement benefits).

And as a sidenote, while some European countries do not have a national minimum salary, most workers are covered by collective bargaining agreement (minimum wage per occupation/sector). This is the case in Switzerland, for example if y

Given how the swiss usually vote this has no chance to pass. And FYI lots of countries are doing this "experiment" with decent minimal wages,Switzerland is more in exception among western countries than the norm. http:/&#x2F

FYI Mercurial has time-based releases. So 3.0 doesn't mean anything special (it's just the next feature release after 2.9). http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/TimeBasedReleasePlan

That is if you only care about the us. Just including Europe will give you a different story.

I never heard of a maximum compensation for internships...

Ok, I think the trick is to have at least one more in addition to en-US+en (I have a couple more).

I live in Switzerland and google does follow my accept-languages (en-US,en;q=0.8,fr;q=0.6,de;q=0.4). When going to google.com in incognito I get google.ch in english which is what I asked.

It would still be very different. If you contribute to google mapmaker, only google could use it. If you contribute to a non-share-alike OSM, anyone can use it...

I think both started on the same day (due to both authors being part of the kernel "kabal" and already in the known about the upcoming bk debacle). Mercurial was usable earlier though ;-) (the first git versions were really really

The monthly releases are bugfix only. New features are released every three months (and release process has an extended freeze where only bug fixes are allowed for a couple of weeks before the release)

But then mercurial is the same, the abstraction is about file content, the diff compression is an internal detail of the storage format like packs.

> Speed Actually in 2005 performance was pretty similar and for some workflows hg was definitely faster (patch + commit). Also before packs were introduced git just used massive disk space (hg had smart storage from day one).

At least in science it is pretty common (and many teacher grade over 25 so even near perfect can give you a 20).

Yes, by default all branches are pushed, (you would have to use --force if it creates new heads, and --new-branch to push new named branches). But I really don't see how it makes anything "server" or "client" side.

I think you are confused, git and hg branches are very similar (I'd try to help but I'm not sure what the confusion is).
