Something liberal like Apache/BSD/MIT

Always record your calls if the other side is.

I followed the link related to Google's ban on AGPL and found http://blog.opalang.org/2012/05/opa-license-change-not-just-... What a great post. Specially I like this quote "But in reality, it turns out the license is barred from being used at many companies, so we end up repelling developers. Even worse, we don't get the main expected benefit as most developers won’t release the source anyway while they develop for many possible reasons: It’s not working yet, they are not proud of their code yet, they don’t know what to do with it yet, etc.""

For me it's that I can easily get work done in it compared to React.

The open source project that has really stood out to me in terms of funding is vuejs.org who's funding is almost entirely public at https://www.patreon.com/evanyou

In the case of RethinkDB I wish they had started Horizon much sooner. Having plugins like for Stripe will make Horizon usable in the real world. I certainly like the goal set for Horizon that it be easy to extend a Horizon app by embedding it in a Node app. I just found the lack of step by step tutorial and several examples frustrating.

I've just started learning about business stuff. I've gone to three Seattle Lean Startup events. I've learned a lot. Two key things I've learned that are helping me are make a working engine before raising money so that money is just gas and focus on making something that people pay for.

Being involved in SMC I'm very glad that VC hasn't been taken. I'm not convinced that VC would make things much better.

The dispatchers I observe use it focused on their primary screens and if something highlighted they saw out of the corner of their eye.

A number of people thought it was important software including the Chief Operating Officer who immediately had it put to use in the Realtime Crime Center. It was the Captain who didn't want to have a checklist. My bosses, bosses, boss at the time tried to get the Captain to agree to a structure that would allow stuff like this to be developed but the captain refused.

I was not fired and they asked me to say. But I was too unhappy and going crazy.

Yep wanna not improve SPD fine but I'm going to showcase everything you and your people do. You're be forced to improve once the media gets ahold of the mistakes being made.

I wasn't in trouble for doing what I did. The meeting was discussing how to keep the innovation going in a more controlled manner. The Captain believes the only way to implement software in 911 is to take years and millions of dollars to do it.

The software doesn't highlight calls it highlights messages with keywords. This was asked for by a dispatcher who said during emergencies it's hard to spot the important messages. This particular dispatcher's job was to monitor all of the other dispatchers and ensure that calls were prioritized correctly. The software itself did not do the dispatchers job for them. Calls are prioritized before the Chief Dispatcher typically sees them. There are calls the Chief Dispatchers are supposed to know about but are always notified of. This software was a tool to help keep the Chief Dispatchers in the loop. They dictated which keywords they wanted to use.

The meeting was scheduled by the director of IT at the time, a former Amazon VP who left two weeks after this incident, about how to allow me to continue developing apps like this. He was trying to put structure about it. The Captain wanted none of it.
