  • Make it 12x the lowest paid by hourly rate. Then maybe it’s 32 hours, or less, but you’ll be paid no more than 12x less than the highest paid employee on an hourly basis.

    Also, the hourly wage should include all compensation, including benefits and stock options, so they don’t try to stuff their benefit and stock packages (eg private plane and company car).

    Also, tax all wealth above 20x the median wealth of the nearest 100,000 people at 90%.


  • I think it’s okay, I made a comment about the license first! It’s good discussion. I certainly like everything being copyleft, but I also get why people who make a contribution (an extension or otherwise) might want to license it differently. Ultimately whoever does the work gets to decide on the license — closed source I’ll never touch, extension or otherwise, but I’m lenient on open source.



  • Hey some folks responded here which is great! For me, I think wiki and tracker are perfect like someone else mentioned, because a lot of folks without accounts can still access the knowledge created. The hard part is moderating of course. I’m not sure there is a perfect solution.

    Ultimately, you’re producing something cool for the community and you get to set the terms for that; if discord is easy and sustainable, I prefer that to you doing anything else that isn’t sustainable to see the project through as long and vibrantly as you can. So in that sense just choose what makes sense.

    So in short: do what makes sense for you and if one of the alternatives listed (maybe wiki it seems? That would be cool with me) works then that’s great!

    I guess I’ll also plug forgejo or codeberg at this time haha

    Edit: I’ll also say, more folks here for discussion is cool too, and good to have you posting and hope to see more discussion around it in the future here!

    Servo is a web browser rendering engine written in Rust, with WebGL and WebGPU support, and adaptable to desktop, mobile, and embedded applications.

    Essentially it is an alternative to chromium based web browser engines. The other (major) web browser engines are WebKit for iOS and Gecko for Firefox. You can see a list at Wikipedia.


  • Their percent margin might drop, but there is no way they just eat say a 100 dollar extra tariff charge. They would charge 100 dollars more on the item(s). They make the same profit, consumer pays more. The only time this isn’t true, is if the consumer will not or cannot pay the extra 100 dollars for the product and the sale is lost. In such a case they may try to pay part of the tariff and not raise their costs to account for margin.

    In practice I think many companies will actually charge more than the tariff to maintain percent margin.

    So definitely affects US consumers and companies, but may not affect foreign companies really at all.
