Amazon also spends a lot of time and effort on Open Source software, including the Linux kernel. They also contribute money to various open source foundations and target funding for various groups like OpenSSL.

Microsoft gets all the news because it's a drastic change from normal behaviour.

Amazon, Google, Oracle et all just keep steadily contributing stuff. A lot of the work is also deadly boring and not headline capturing stuff.

Few simple queries to show the work they're doing just on the kernel:

Amazon: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/lin...

Google: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/lin...

Microsoft: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/lin...

Oracle: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/lin...
1. The idea that OSI seriously thinks it gets to decide what counts as open source is laughable. This is akin to Linux being released for the first time, and Microsoft issuing a warning that they have not yet verified that Linux is a "real" operating system, and to stay tuned for their final judgement. The arrogance here is hilarious. I've been working in open source for years and I've never, ever heard of OSI.

2. All "open source" really means is that the source code is available in some way/shape/form, with no implication whatsoever made about the license of said code. "Free and open source" on the other hand implies a permissive license.

3. I don't know anything about the MongoDB license before or after these changes, I just despise the tone of this message.

So to recap. OSI is just some random organization with no bearing on what society decides open source is or isn't, and therefore what they say DOES NOT MATTER.
Jones Forth is an extremely readable tutorial how to write a Forth.
This actually isn't true. The antitrust case is a big part of why Google (and hence, Chrome) exists today: Microsoft was scared that buying and killing Google, or blocking them from being set as the search engine on IE via the Google Toolbar would incite more penalties from the government.

I would have to dig around for the source of the original story, but the suit is the only reason Google was able to topple Microsoft's dominance. The antitrust case gave Google and companies like it room to grow, and an antitrust case against Google may be the only thing can launch the next wave of innovation that surpasses it.

the 'liberal' in neoliberal is not the same 'liberal' used in typical current US parlance. that is to say, it's more right-libertarian vs 'progressive'. neoliberal isn't a label that says all that much about social issues, generally.

> A neoliberal wants the prison to hire more female guards.

afaik, a neoliberal wants the prison to be able to hire whoever it wants without meddling regulations causing inefficiency and putting more strain on the hiring process.

TFA doesn't actually refute this point. (not a lawyer) One of the differences between European and US monopoly law is that US law requires that consumers be harmed, while european law just requires a lack of competition.

Thus, in the Europe, a "benevolent monopoly", so to speak, would still be regulated, even if it provided optimal outcomes to consumers. This is not the case in the US.

In other words, people bundling the apps because they feel it enhances the product may still be illegal in Europe, if regulators feel that competition is stifled.

For TFA to be a refutation of this point, it would need to be the same ruling in the US.
It's Google's operating system. Nobody would buy a Samsung, HTC, or Sony phone without Google's Research and Development.

Smartphone manufacturers are in the smartphone business because of Google. If those manufacturers don't like Google's terms, they're free to go Microsoft's route and build their own OS.

Nobody is forcing these companies to do anything.

It would seem that there are many citizens in nations (e.g. US) where internet access is not a new phenomenon do not do this either, so I don't think that is a valid excuse.

Conservative groups are not evil, or even reactionary by definition. In my experience, conservative groups favor the staus quo, no matter what that may be.

Liberal groups on the other hand, favor some sort of change, but the actual specifics vary from group to group. On something as simple as environmentalism, you will see a range between people who want laws to ensure pets are well treated, and people who think all animal domestication is slavery and every pet ought to be freed into the wild.

A conservative group on the other hand will trend to defend whatever law existed when they grew up. Sure it is not a very clever policy, but thats the essense of it.
If maximum-short-term-return monoculture is as you say - responsible for alleviating abject poverty etc. and there was/is no viable alternatives, then diet is all that's left to improve on.

I dont share that view of the modern history of agricultural development - that it is the best that could have happened and as good as it gets. Without having the time to refute that outlook, I'm just noticing that your appeal to not forget it made or linked no cases to support it.
Great example +1; however in this example cops assumed Mr. Vargas to commit crime and hence setup cam to watch aka surveillance his property 24/7. Very difference from situation where average citizens records their front yard 24/7 not expecting or assuming a crime will occur, and then having that video being obtained when the crime happens.

In other words, this case is about active surveillance, versus Ring cams are more passive (record everything all the time for no specific reason)
I dunno. Maybe they could scan a question for keywords and show some targeted ads but I can't remember any (my brain has already got trained to always ignore ads so I can't even remember if there were ads or if there were no ads, there were not too many if there were).
>you are limited by your understanding of the concepts. It's only as difficult as you make it.

I disagree. It is very possible to understand a concept fully, but for it still to be hard. E.g. pointers are quite easy to grasp the concept of, but also very easy to mess up. A more related example would be JavaScript's type coercion. Just understanding it, doesn't make it easy to avoid overlooking places it will cause problems. So some features programming languages include can be objectively considered harder than others, even when you fully understand them.
The big help for me at the time was the ease to navigate files accross merges, branches, commits, and share a specific point to anyone through a simple URL.

Up until this day navigating code feels more natural on the site that on native apps like sourcetree. I really miss the ease to see the same file from two different branches or commits, the feature might be there in native apps but I just couldn’t find it.
> I take it the datastore change is just an api change? (There isn't any data migration needed, is there?)

Yup!

> It looks like memcache is moving to a third-party service now instead of a built-in api. Is performance different? Does anyone have experience with this?

I'm not sure about the performance impact. But I can tell you that we're working with the Cloud Memorystore team to have a better memcache story for the App Engine second generation runtimes
The meat of the change:

SSPL explicitly states that anybody who wants to offer MongoDB as a service — or really any other software that uses this license — needs to either get a commercial license or open source the service to give back the community.

Looks like a pretty straightforward extension of GPL principles, by replacing the linking of licensed code to remotely calling the licensed code.

It can have a lot of implications for service providers and commercial developers alike, depending on the way commercial licenses will work. (Some DB licenses have pretty stifling clauses, like Oracle's or MS SQL's.)
What does Amazon need to do to avoid falling to the same fate as Sears?
Microsoft also has Flow, which can kind of do a lot of the same things as well, although more on the if-this-then-that type of model. It's actually pretty handy, since that seems to be the best way to do workflows that create issues into VSTS/AzureDevOps, or generate notifications out of it.
Disclaimer: I work at Backblaze.

> What does Backblaze do with all its older hard drives? Resell? Recycle?

If the drive is still working (like you can read and write to it) when we cycle it out, we securely wipe it and then sometimes resell them in "bulk" to places like "Weird Stuff Warehouse" in the San Francisco area, or other places.

If the drive is not working, we physically destroy the hard drives (special equipment) and dispose/recycle the electronic waste of the carcass.
That, and since you're preserving commit history, you can later re-enable that change by making a second revert commit of the first revert.

I never read a whole book in one sitting, but I could read for hours. For me it wasn't the internet/phone distractions that broke me of that ability, it was having kids. There was just not time to do that anymore. Now, for better or worse, I still read a lot of books but in very small rapid chunks, even standing in line at the store. I treasure the times when I can go to bed and read for an hour or so, though I usually just fall asleep after 20 minutes.

The NYT article didn't say it was. They said:

> By obligating handset makers to load the free apps along with the Android operating system

"Along with." It was enforced bundling.

The person above mistakenly claimed the article was wrong due to Android's license which is both a misreading of the NYT's story and also wrong in the larger sense.

Consuming excess amounts of fructose will (via complicated metabolic pathways) produce a lot of uric acid by your liver. That's what's causing hypertension. This shows the metabolic pathway diagrammed out:

https://youtu.be/dBnniua6-oM?t=3395

Pretty interesting.

Is there a competing theory?

> 3. Yes, wheat is glucose. Why do you mention fructose? I didn't.

Glucose is not sugar; fructose is. They take different pathways when metabolized. It's true that lots of white bread has added sugar, but that's not the wheat. I would say that if wheat is a silent killer, France would be in big trouble, and they're not.
I'm partner in a logistics/fulfillment company out of Los Angeles doing just this, primarily for e-commerce and Amazon. We receive pallets to our warehouse, repackage if necessary, store, then ship orders received via API's. My partners have been regularly in the top ten of Amazon FBA volume over the last six years. We have spent the last six months optimizing our systems. We prefer smaller sized items (no bikes for example) and ship an array including CBD products.

One of our clients right now is a cannabis accessories brand from Holland, so we are receiving pallets already from UK. My email is on my profile page and would love to help out.
If you're just moving money, you need to hedge your gdax long with a leveraged short with a size that covers your BCH purchase. It's no good buying a dip if the dip keeps dipping before you found a buyer.

Also worth noting that the liquidity on Indodax is poor. The 24h volume for BCH is only $97,437 so selling $2,000 worth of BCH will take an hour (on average) to fill and the more people that use this method to send money home the harder it will be to get filled above market. From the liquidity point of view you'll be better off using BTC as it has 12x the liquidity.
Neither "men" or "women" form a homogenous group with complete agreement on these issues, and further, not everyone in either group will even be able to read the social cues that govern such social interactions.

If anything, our industry has more of of these sorts of people, so yes, some people actually do need a rule book. A survey providing meaningful data on what is and isn't wanted would thus be incredibly useful not only to help these people navigate the workplace, but to women who have to suffer social ineptitude.

Considering your interest seems to be in reducing women's suffering in this regard, I honestly don't know why you're being so difficult about clarifying the meaning of the data.
I doubt Ive is driving these design regressions. (Unless he’s always been a rubbish designer from day one.) It seems the khakis are running the show at Apple since Jobs passed.
This has always felt very bizarre to me. From an anti-competitive standpoint it makes sense, but from an antitrust i.e. harming the consumer standpoint, it feels a bit nebulous.

Who is actually the beneficiary of this action? It seems pretty dubious that it helps customers, after all, the whole thing stems from the fact that the customers want the Play Store.

It says that they would offer would be financial incentives for partnering with chrome and google. Is it just gonna be like "access to Google Play is $10, but if you bundle our services, we'll give you $10!"

Or is the effect that it increases the leverage of other handset makers to essentially extract rents of digital real estate from Google like Apple does?
Another point on this line is W.E.B. DuBois' "Black Reconstruction in America", wherein he writes extensively on how post-civil war racist discourse was designed to not only persist discrimination of blacks, but to also convince poor whites that blacks were the problem, and not the rich white capitalists that were _actually_ screwing them over. So its fascinating that we see, amidst a climate of economic, social, and political uncertainty, exactly that tactic return in the election of Trump, who convinces the white working class that "he's a straight shooter", "he tells it like is", and my favorite, "he's honest" (paraphrasing CNN Presidential Election night coverage, interviewing Trump voters after his win) and pandering latent racist biases, while guaranteeing further entrenchment of the standing politico-economic order.

> "they started Android"

Android was created in October 2003 by Andy Rubin, before Google bought it in 2005

> "because they did not want Apple to win all the market"

Actual purpose was: "The early intentions of the company were to develop an advanced operating system for digital cameras, and this was the basis of its pitch to investors in April 2004. The company then decided that the market for cameras was not large enough for its goals, and by five months later it had diverted its efforts and was pitching Android as a handset operating system that would rival Symbian and Microsoft Windows Mobile."

Predictability: who's to say what MongoDB will decide in the future e.g. ask for more money and/or charge per vCPU + memory. Employing developers directly, on the other hand: here's an offer and vesting schedule - they know exactly how much they will spend for 3+ years, and get to control the roadmap.
I think circulatory health and blood health are hugely important, for a lot of things, for a long list of reasons. I also think total load on the system matters.

If your system has a backlog of built up wastes generally, that backlog is going to be a barrier to efficiency in any particular system.

It really is. My first engineering job out of school was designing offshore drilling rigs (mostly service systems like ballast) and running shipyard projects. The economics of the industry have really gone through boom and bust cycles as the article says. I lucked out on timing. I got out just as a bust cycle was getting serious to go back to school as I had always planned to anyway.
I don't see much in your argument apart from: I'm okay with this; you shouldn't be self-righteous; don't hate on corporations. Lots of telling me what I should do and how I ought to feel about my work, nothing really backing it up. In which case, I feel justified in simply responding: no, my values are different from yours.
Honestly, there are a lot of screwballs in the Amazon marketplace, and as a regular Amazon customer, I'm quite happy that they stick up for me. It's also clear that Amazon needs to improve their system for vendors. Shutting a vendor off without some form of human contact or rapid appeal will ultimately hurt their marketplace.

I once had to file an A to Z complaint, and the vendor called me personally asking me to cancel the complaint. In this case, the vendor was a bit of a screwball and entered into Amazon that he shipped me the entire order. I only received part of my order, and after a week of emailing back and forth, I realized that the vendor never had the missing item in stock.

On the phone, the vendor pushed really hard on me to cancel my A to Z complaint. I flatly told the vendor that Amazon listed the item as delivered to my address, and he never shipped it. I then told him he needed to work with Amazon to resolve the problem. He should have never called me in the first place. Instead, he should have been able to work out the problem with Amazon.

At that point it became clear to me that Amazon might be a bit too heavy-handed with vendors. Even though the vendor was clearly in the wrong, and clearly a screwball, the fear in his voice of an A to Z complaint made me suspect that Amazon is too heavy handed in handling disputes like mine.

MongoDB gots lot of interesting features recently and probably got to a stable line. They also have lot of product around MongoDB ecosystem:

- Atlas to deploy
- Stitch to run serverless
- Chart for BI

So they basically want to protected their leverage, which make sense to me.
So, I was just looking at available slots and how that interacts with the statement, "Being X helps you, but not being X doesn't hurt you".

That just can't be. If having a certain quality increases your chances of admission by any amount, then it's the case that lacking that quality will hurt your chances by some amount. The only way around this is if the size of the incoming class is elastic.

I don't think the admissions process is a simple equation. My "balancing" statement was referring to the size and composition of the admitted class.

Also, I need to stress that I'm not anti affirmative action. My feelings on the subject are complicated. I assure you I don't take any of this as face value, and I see legitimate concerns on both sides of the debate.
MongoDB was already under the AGPL (which adds the copyleft via network provision) so I suspect there is a bigger difference than that.
Neither lambda calculus, nor Turing machines "model computation on" recursive functions. Rather, these two, and all the other models of computation are equivalent as they compute the same class of functions from the naturals to the naturals. And we call that class the class of recursive functions.

That being said, a computer is a physical device that is able to compute this entire class of recursive functions. It is what makes it a computer and not a pen or a chair. It's not some esoteric notion. It's the whole thing about it.
> You left out that suitors are planning to kill Telemachus, son of Penelope and Odysseus. ... Penelope does not want any of them, she is however forced to choose.

Agreed, those are major omissions on my part (due to writing quickly and not thinking it through, sorry). However, they don't change my overall point. The worst person in the story is Odysseus (unless I'm overlooking some secondary character), who would have done the same and worse, and if there was any justice he would have been captured, tried, and imprisoned long ago - by the Trojans before the story began, in fact.

> Pretty much any character complains about their behavior.

That's not a reason to murder people. Also, the narrator is very sympathetic to Odysseus and makes his enemies unlikable, as narrators do. I take the narrator's depictions of them with a grain of salt.
