My response was in consideration of the points here.

Snowden, one of his goals, besides defecting to Russia, was to “start the conversation”. The rumor is that have been involved with shadow brokers btw

If your boss came to you and said, by law, we need to build crypto with an evolved key escrow system that overcomes the security problems noted by IEEE and others, could you do it? Would you do it? Easy to say “no way, it can’t be done” with or without some type of bias towards a desire for perfectly strong encryption, but again I suspect that it is possible to build such a thing, if it doesn’t exist already.

Do you think such a thing is possible?

Also may I ask your view on Ed Snowden’s actions?
...family farms struggle and pay dearly to hire and retain legal workers at a high cost. Other farms, particularly the large ones, pay lower costs for illegal labor and externalize the costs of depressed wages onto everyone else...

one view of the debate about whether an influx of low cost laborers depresses wages. economists and various journalists often take the other side of the debate, citing studies that low skill labor pay rates are minimally affected by an increase in exogenous low skill labor. the debate rages on.
You came up with a web service that lets anyone upload something and then download it via /uploads/123?

That's basically a hello world project. As you found out, the hard part is everything else, like funding it.
Fastly also don’t support proxying WebSockets. They told us we should switch to long polling which would have driven up our costs with them significantly since they charge per request — funny how that works.

Still, definitely the most interesting CDN if you can’t do your own thing. Network still isn’t where Akamai or EdgeCast are. Lots of good people there, though.
Well, we really need to do some client-side computations for really good reasons. And if we hadn't, it would be reinvented pretty quickly.

What we need right now (IMHO):
1. Some easy-to-use on/off capping button for code size, memory consumed, cpu used, resources loaded per tab. Enabled by default, shipped in each major browser, including mobile
2. Cruelly penalise links that abuse client resources in search results of all major platforms
3. Give it a year and watch them raging, but slowly adjusting to new requirements
4. Repeat with lower caps until it's good enough

That's all we realistically can and should do: impose some universal limits and require user conscious action to bypass per webapp.

It must be job, which W3C should be doing already, probably with joint efforts of Google, Microsoft and Apple. If they managed to enforce CORS, they'll be able to that also.
it is usually used in the context of selling at a loss. so if amazon makes a ton of money on aws and then starts selling everything on amazon.com AT A LOSS, to purposely drive their competitors out of business, because nobody else can afford to sell at a loss for a substantial period of time. to prove it, you basically need written/recorded communication of them admitting they priced things that way to be anti competitive.

theres probably some argument to be made that uber/lyft and any of the venture capital products being sold with vc subsidization are kind of doing this.

How is a cluster more difficult for users in 2019? Most devs I know never even set up Redis. It just works through Docker/Ansible/cloud.

This is awesome! Many people (including me) complain that Github is too centralized and closed source. AFAIK this is the first platform that integrates git and IPFS. It looks like it is built around the Git CLI. So another layer of abstraction.

>How does one properly think about a decision like this?

The three examples I see are some variation on:

a) Don't think about it

b) Proclaim that "better safe than sorry" is the only answer.

c) Keep your mouth shut because you don't fall into either of the former categories and realize that there's no upside to getting involved.

I agree that it is a tricky decision to make. Considering that the data recorders of the most recent crash are in hand and not at the bottom of the ocean somewhere unknown I think that we should probably wait a few days for some preliminary analysis. If they were lost in the ocean somewhere I'd be more supportive of the calls to ground the aircraft.

The temptation is to assume that the most recent crash was caused by the "new MCAS failure mode" that doomed the previous flight. That issue was caused by a lack of training and pilot understanding of the potential for that failure mode (because Boeing didn't want to force airlines to re-train pilots). What's the chance that a 3rd plane will crash now that every pilot not living under a rock is aware of the new failure mode? If the new MCAS behavior is what's causing the crashes then the chances should be very low. Maybe not as low as with proper retraining but still tons lower than before the first crash.

If I were smart I'd have picked option C.
Competition is just a weasel word. Existence of multiple parties with overlapping interests is not competition. ie A participant in the market is ignored by the dominant player, who continues to dominate (regardless of any comparable metric), it's a functional monopoly. This is why companies often describe their product as "trust" more so than any specific feature set.
Do these groundings also apply to ferrying the plane?
Why would they care about Russia specifically? What criticism do you expect to see from them?

I read ZH sometimes. They also don't spend much time criticising Iceland. You seem to be assuming they should share the same obsession with Russia as much of the rest of the mainstream media, but their different set of obsessions is rather what makes them useful as an outlet.

Actually, they are publicly subsidized (by tax deductibility of donations made to them) because they are private charities.

> When companies came to us, seeing our success, and asked for special working relationship in order to collaborate on code, demanding preferential treatment that would place them above our users, we told them no.

I think this may have been the crux of the friction between the companies. Elastic sure looks to have collaborated with GCP [0][1], if not other enterprises.

> Our answer has always been a constant: send a pull request, like everybody else does. The quality will speak for itself.

I look around and spot at least three substantial bug/fixes from AWS employees (?) [2][3][4], so I don't see any lack of effort from AWS? AWS engs were sending pull requests, just like the others. That said, any sort of heavy handedness from maintainers of elasticsearch might also play a role in forcing enterprises to take control of software they depend upon so much where legally allowed. We have seen this happen with Node.js/IO.js and MariaDB/MySQL before.

> The FUD mostly comes from large(r) companies that fear what such a movement can cause.

The irony of this statement is not lost on me. Elastic is that larger company (one that crucially controls a majority of the ecosystem around elasticsearch: kibana, logstash, beats, xpack to name a few), and AWS is an upstart here with their investment in open-distro, presumably to fight FUD.

> We all sometimes need to self reflect on what and why we did that made us successful, to make sure we stay true to our course. [..] to others out there, that face so many reasons to be distracted, keep your focus [..] And last, to express our shared commitment to continue to build great products [..] It is our true north.

I think one right way for Elastic to show commitment to opensource would be to entrust the projects to a community agreed governance model, like others before them have done [5][6][7][8].

Also, what's interesting is that its not just Amazon here, but Expedia and Netflix as well putting their weight behind open-distro [9].

Like someone pointed out, this response from Elastic does seem to be emotionally charged [10].

I obviously have the view that the walled garden benefits consumers, so my bias shows. And, I think there's a lot of wiggle room on the cost to host in the App store.

However, US monopoly law is based on consumer harm, so...

I think on a mobile platform, with plenty of competition to not buy an iOS-based phone, a walled garden absolutely benefits consumers more than it hurts. There is so much PII on phones now. Given the total lack of InfoSec knowledge, especially at the mobile-user level, a walled garden is crucial: see every Google Store vuln that hasn't hit Apple.

I mean, I'm not super well versed in small-scale agriculture or anything, but a) Is there that big of a difference between subsist and profit in this case? It's not like the family is just consuming the milk/etc themselves, they're selling it (in the case described above) and b)is there even a such thing as subsist in our society today? Especially in America, capitalism makes it impossible to just subsist, as you always need to be earning more.

However, both of these are just as subjective as your suggested substitution, and I would like to express that I think Small-scale or Family Dairy Farmers are way better than any size factory farming.
How to generate leads as an independent consultant
I don't understand your confusion. What I would like to see is the iPhone to support the use of its native Bluetooth radio to connect to another device with a Bluetooth radio and implement the native Bluetooth file transfer protocol. Why would I want to use a 3rd party app/program which incurs a data charge to download, and possibly an account setup which means information leakage.
Intuitively, you would expect that "drinking from the firehose" is not going to let you capture as much of the water as if you sipped from a trickle, and that same dynamic should apply generally: all customers come at the same time vs an hour, all enemies attack at once vs individually, etc.

Unless, of course, the human body historically faced strong selective pressures to efficiently store energy when you have to eat a lot at once.

I believe you're conflating "open core" with with "open source". I don't believe that open source needs a profit motive to exist and flourish. While this may be a blow to the open core FOSS business model, there are a number of other models that continue to exist that do not involve proprietary enterprise extensions.

While these models may not be attractive to venture capitalists, they can certainly provide a way for developers to make money.
From Wikipedia

The 737-700, -800 and -900ER, the most widespread versions of the previous 737NG,[10] are replaced by the 737 MAX 7, MAX 8 and MAX 9, respectively[61] (FAA type certificate: 737-7, -8, and -9[8]). The 737 MAX 8 entered service in May 2017,[2] and the MAX 9 entered service in March 2018.[62] The MAX 7 is expected to enter service in January 2019, followed by the MAX 200 later in 2019, and the MAX 10 in 2020.
A software update that was scheduled for distribution (iirc) in January, so already late. As a software practitioner, this scares the living shit out of me. Already late software, now pushed for a deadline-driven release... This can't end well.
> predatory pricing is undercutting a competitor to purposely drive them out of business.

That is the purpose of all competition in a free market -- to achieve as large a market share as possible. In a stable market, this necessarily involves removing business from your competitors.
The problem is information overload to pilots. And the pipeline how commercial pilots are trained also changed. 50 years ago a lot of pilots were having military backgrounds and training. So they were having more experience with shit going down the drain situations.
The purpose of a research institution is to do research, not provide degrees to some selection of particularly smart young people. They will act in ways to increase the research they can do. People don’t deserve to be let in just because they are clever, they also should have some probability of furthering the research aims through their studying/paying fees. Why is it more unfair to let in someone who can pay for a great deal of research to be done than to reduce student numbers to pay for research to be done?

Honestly, it goes even further than that. The generally accepted theory in the Lion Air incident is that a system caused MCAS might be one of the major causes of the accident.

Basically, the larger/more powerful/further forward engines on the MAX would cause the airplane to behave differently to other 737 variants in some situations, and MCAS is designed augment pilot input and allow the pilots to fly the planes as they would have flown other 737s (and allows pilots to fly MAXes under the same type ratings as previous 737 models). However, in edge cases (in the case of Lion Air, erroneous sensor input) the airplane might do something totally different from other 737 variants. Evidently Boeing didn't even require pilots to be told about MCAS, because all it (supposedly) does is make a MAX feel like an older 737.
> Google might be at a point where no company ever stands a chance to compete with it.

I'm not sure that this, in and of itself, is a problem. Someone has to be the best, and google's product will still be the best even if you break the company up. It's not as if people will start using bing if search were broken out into a separate company; if anything I'd guess that it might increase market-share as that new company would put all their efforts into making search better rather than on broader initiatives that cut across google as a whole.
If the plane is going to get grounded, the operator absolutely wants that to happen at home base, not at an outstation.

Working in Ruby is fine if you’re just adding a feature on top of the pile of features. All you have to do is add some unit tests, make sure the old ones pass, and run away. But anything else is impossibly difficult.

No, not "impossibly difficult". Just not as effortless as you'd like it do be. Which fortunately makes it easy to discount the the rest of the article for what it is - needlessly charged hyperbole and (gross) oversimplification of what should be viewed as a substantially more complex set of tradeoffs.
