To be fair that practically seems like a nonissue compared to the inverse.

Yeah that does sound annoying. Have you tried contacting the extension maker? Perhaps they can add that to the list of fixes/features on their next update?

"Cost to the end user $10-200/year"

What? How have you not heard of Let's Encrypt by now?

The quote isn't really meant to imply your direct manager specifically.

It can easily be your managers manager, a vp/director or even upper management as a whole.

The last of which sounds like the case in your situation.

Cheaper to hire actual human computers at that point.

I agree, thankfully Wayland is well on its way. GDM uses it by default as of 3.16 and the Gnome DE just needs a --session=-gnome-wayland parameter.

It has actually gotten to the point where it's stable enough for daily use now.

Eval? Code as as string, parse, analyze, etc. Then code gen the JS you need into a string. Eval the string.

Tried to edit my other comment but accidentally deleted it.

So I just skimmed over the ruling here:

and you're right (if you're getting at what I think you're getting at).

The argument is that expense sharing is compensation, but it is allowed under the FARs in specific circumstance. Difference here being that the combination of holding out on a public website and receiving compensation via expense sharing put it in common carrier land.

Which does seem to make sense under current rules.

You don't need rich friends/family. People charter small aircraft all the time.

The difference is those operations comply with applicable regulations while this doesn't.

I think that was his point as well.
