Care to expand on this for the curious?

What does this mean for their partners like Stable? The only reason I used Stable was because it was part of the onboarding flow for Stripe Atlas. Is that considered a physical biz address?

FWIW my biz address doesn't have PO box in the address. It is re-used though (which I know because when I tried to register a DUNS number with Apple the first problem I ran into was another business was already registered at the same address)

Nope, not trying to trap anyone into a conversation they don't want to have. The purpose of the site is to match you with someone politically different. All marketing copy is forthright

It was a reference to the featured article. It does not have any good or evil connotations. The author suggested that, like light and dark matter coexisting without any knowledge of the other's presence, the author coexists with conservatives with certain views (creationists). Stats show that they are out there in huge numbers, but he has no first hand account.

Noted and good call, I'll take that out of the art.

> There are certain theories of dark matter where it barely interacts with the regular world at all, such that we could have a dark matter planet exactly co-incident with Earth and never know. Maybe dark matter people are walking all around us and through us, maybe my house is in the Times Square of a great dark matter city, maybe a few meters away from me a dark matter blogger is writing on his dark matter computer about how weird it would be if there was a light matter person he couldn’t see right next to him.

> This is sort of how I feel about conservatives.

Please excuse a touch of extremely relevant self-promo. I am building a site to address exactly this. I'm calling it RedMeetBlue, pairing folks from the light and dark matter worlds for one-on-one chats. Link in profile. If you are interested in this experiment, or want to participate, I'd love to hear from you.

One aspect of working in a big company is figuring out where all the bits of specialized knowledge live, and what the company-specific processes are for getting things done. One use case for an internal chatGPT is essentially a 100% available mentor inside the company.

Nice find!

I mean, businesses change? The founders didn't have a crystal ball to see how every decision would play out.

Reading through these comments, I'm reminded of a pop psychology book that I read that essentially said "never try to take someone away, no matter how small, it is perceived as a much larger loss than it is".

If Hashicorp had started with this new license in the first place, do we really think they wouldn't have had the business success that they've had? We'll never know, but my guess is that a license that says "competitors can't copy us" would seem totally reasonable to folks contributing, and irrelevant to customers that have a problem to solve. Someone correct me if I'm wrong here, I want to understand this obviously passionate response.

(Since I've commented a couple times on this let me also say I'm not a hashicorp employee nor know anyone there)

I don't mind it. If a business is providing good software, and they have to make a license change to prevent someone from wholesale copying the work and selling it as a direct competitor, I'm for it! I'd rather have the sound business _in business_ and continuing to provide good software.

> This is why bankers earn more than nurses and teachers

I think it has more to do with the proximity to money. A banker is close to lots of money moving around, and in a position to craft some scheme to extract parts of it. This basically applies to all of finance. The closer you are, the more opportunities to extract large amounts. A nurse is far removed from the flow of money.

> No one is taking their self driving car to work and then lending it out to Uber

Sounds like a business opportunity
