I'm not sure what "de facto $0 wage" means.
One landing could just be some person steering it. But two?
Some constructive criticism around naming... You don't have to have Flux in every single damn thing you create!
InfluxDB IOx is not replacing InfluxDB v2 because... It's just a new storage engine.
For querying we have Flux or InfluxQL...
But then looking further, how much geographic overlap is there between the two companies? Not much from my quick search. Certainly not in the area I live.
And a stated goal of this merger is to fight the evil empire, Walmart. So I'm warming up to it...
We self-hostd JIRA from 2008ish to 2014ish. (memory is fading on exact dates) By the time we decided to stop using JIRA, we fracking hated JIRA and would never return.
Since then, GitHub Issues, Trello, Clubhouse (neé Shortcut) all provide less friction in day to day use. As an Enterprise, I do believe Shortcut is your best bet.
As an aside, I spoke with our AE in early January on where they are going in dealing with AWS unreliability. One would think they would have a good answer. They don't.
Why not just build an app if you are going to be browser specific...
But this article is vapid click bait with nothing backing up its headline. The manufacturing of cheap junk that doesn't meet safety or reliability standards and stealing IP to bypass research and development is hardly leaving established car companies in the dust.
For those curious about their justification:

Sounds like HydraDock might be handling it better than Cole Flournoy did, however.
If you weren't using iOS, love2d is great, as well.
"One advantage of direct current over AC is that DC current penetrates the entire conductor as opposed to AC current which only penetrates to the so-called skin depth. For the same conductor size the effective resistance is greater with AC than DC, so that more power is lost as heat. In general the power losses for HVDC are less than an AC line if the line length is over 500 -600 miles and with advances in conversion technology this distance has been reduced considerably."
My recollection was that a big argument for AC over DC going back to Edison v Tesla was that DC required DC generation centers all over the place because of transmission range:
"The primary drawback with the Edison direct current system was that it ran at 110 volts from generation to its final destination giving it a relatively short useful transmission range: to keep the size of the expensive copper conductors down generating plants had to be situated in the middle of population centers and could only supply customers less than a mile from the plant."

Yet, it appears this is no longer the case. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-voltage_direct_current
Why is that?
"the Air Force used a procurement process that would give a lot of weight to the prices companies bid"
That's hysterical! The gall of the Air Force to do such a thing!
But to see something so small with relatively little fuel on board, take off so fast is really incredible.
I believe the only time that an upgrade could possibly increase the taxable value of your house is if the township/county knows about it (I.e., you got a permit to install it).
I also live in Michigan, but haven't researched renewable energy sources vs taxable value. I'm surprised to hear the gp say they had an increase.
But apparently there are two Bruce Dickinson's in music: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Dickinson
