I see this as a negotiation between man and machine. The machine in this case was bad at negotiating.

> She has directly authored many foundational pieces of Mozilla and (arguably) the internet
Like what? The wiki page doesn't tell.
You are making it sounds like she created Mozilla & products herself, rather than an admin/exec role throughout. And also making it sound like her presence alone is what is bringing in ~$500 million.
Is there some connection you would like to disclose?
by the way, I'm not arguing her position.i'm arguing her compensation. nice chart from brendan eich (formerly of mozilla) https://twitter.com/BrendanEich/status/1217512049716035584

in 2018, mozilla had 368 million USD in assets:
2018 financials: https://assets.mozilla.net/annualreport/2018/mozilla-fdn-201...
wow, 2.5 million for the executive chair of Mozilla in 2018. is that person really bringing 2.5 millions dollar worth of value to the company. this is in addition to the 2.x million from the year before. 10s of million exfiltrated out of a non-profit by one person over the last few years. nice job if you can get it.
edit: 1 million USD in 2016 and before.jumped to 2.3 million in 2017! pg8 of form 990 available at https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/about/public-records/

Would love to see the compensation their board members and execs are claiming.

Those Oath sites really do love tracking before you even hit the article.

I just listened to the JRE clip from that ep(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2AbxWr6I4s) - Everyone Can Be Rich. And based on the below excerpt in which he misses the mark by a million miles, I'm doubting his wisdom.

> okay imagine if tomorrow we could wave a wand and everybody was trained as a scientist or an engineer everybody, even if you weren't very good, you had enough understanding computers you could write some code. You could build some hardware and don't tell me people can't do it because they can that's just a tyranny of soft expectations. That's just you looking down on somebody else they can't do it they just have to be educated. Now if they're educated all this hardware software engineers scientists biologists technicians hard sciences not the social sciences we would all be done within five years. Robots would be doing everything from cleaning toilets to cooking food to flying airplanes and driving goobers and what would we be doing? We would be doing all creative jobs to entertain each other and researching science and technology we would have wonderful lives so it is really just a question of Education nothing else is this a scale issue

This just seems like a puff piece for Republican party values.
Not journalism. Not an opinion piece. An ad.

For your own workstation- what OS?
Have you got these in github or somewhere i could take a look?

That's a good read. It's a pity the sample code repos aren't public.
I'm all for dogs on the internet but no point in accepting dogs commenting on the life of cats whilst strongly giving the impression that they too are cats.
