I cant say I've ever been on Zero Hedge that many times; just looking through their site now I'm not really seeing anything objectionable.

They do have a ton of content so perhaps I'm not seeing what you see as bad. Could you provide examples?

Well, I'm sorry to have upset you, and I hope that the precise technical situation is now clear to anyone reading this thread.
"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. This happened numerous times over the years, and only recently again, this time with Amazon. Some have aligned and became wonderful partners to us and the community. Others, sadly, didn't follow through. We have a commitment that we will treat a single developer contributing to our products the same as others. There is no preference, and we will reject any ask to have one. Our answer has always been a constant: send a pull request, like everybody else does. The quality will speak for itself."

The way this is written, it seems like there was a difference of opinion in terms of the product architecture, and not a purely commercial decision by Amazon. I would think it would make commercial sense for the team at Elastic to align with Amazon than the other way round. On the other hand Amazon claims that Elastic was moving away towards proprietary code [1].

Overall, being in open source for a decade, I am against this trend in dual licensing (which I fear is pushed by Venture Capitalists). People forget that the fact that you have freedom and zero friction, is what makes open source awesome. There are other ways to make money, like building a kick-ass consulting practice around the open source offering.

Debian is a community project based on the practical willingness of individuals to work on fixing problems, usually ones that affect themselves. Red Hat is a company solving problems for customers. Two different approaches that sometimes align into similar solutions and sometimes don't.

A good example is the Initramfs-tools that debian created. Before (most, all?) distros just had a bunch of shell scripts mostly concatenated together, but hard coding that for every possible configuration that Debian allows was painful for the maintainers so they created initramfs-tools. They did not have a bunch of consultants which could sell handcrafted solutions to customers.

Red Hat decided many years later to create a similar solutions, but for "reasons" did not want to port initramfs-tools and created Dracut. Debian is now considering porting dracut since maintaining initramfs-tools is a lot of work which could be spent elsewhere. The debconf bof on that was basically the maintainer asking "OK, anyone interesting in continuing maintaining initramfs? How did the test port of dracut go?".

The incentives and politics in a community project are very different from those within a company. Not always better for everybody, but very distinct.

For apt as a format probably not so much anymore. For the Debian apt repositories it's the several thousand capable and driven maintainers.

Ah, now we are discussing my argument instead of dismissing it. Thank you for that. I think this tone is much more productive for an open conversation.

You are right that I am off if you are using tooling to assist you in moderation. From the outside, it seems arbitrary and misaligned, but I understand that it is a black box from my side.

In this particular case, I still feel like your argument is weak, but I care much more that you are grappling with my argument than anything substantive about the argument itself, so we can agree to disagree.
I like decentralized identity though I feel like it either needs a killer app that uses it or a better value proposition. As it stands, I don’t see non-technical people jumping to it unless they have a technical friend telling them too. I hope someone can tell me I’m missing something.

Lot of bitterness about people forking and bundling ES. If it was so painful for Elastic maybe they should have gone for a more suitable model - you get everything open source and pay for support and priority /early access to security updates. Unlike the current model where you get basic features as open source and have to pay for and use different license if you want to use essential features like monitoring and performance analysis.

Someone else with a business model that benefits from providing these features for free and making them open source to reduce their development/maintenance burden - cloud providers like Amazon - are going to do just that. And they're well within their right to do so.
Which anti-competitive moves?
Could you flesh your comment out a bit more? How are they more insidious than Infowars? I am assuming the worst thing Infowars has done was claim that that one school shooting was a fake shooting and the survivors crisis actors.

By contrast my impression of Zero Hedge has been that they are constant economic contrarians. If mainstream media is touting the strong economy, Zero Hedge posters are writing about how fiat currency is unsustainable and how the long-term trend low interest rates is creating a bubble. I do agree the sources of their article range from "I think I heard somewhere" to "based on this Bloomberg data", it's all over the place. But I don't think I've ever seen anything that I would call insidious.

Fair disclaimer that I follow Zero Hedge on Twitter, for much the same reason I follow CNBC: I need a perma-bear to balance out the perma-bull.
I'm not so sure we should be heralding the fact that a single company has not captured all of commerce as a win for competition.
It’s a continuum. There’s a lot of difference between hiding from stalkers and online trolls and effectively hiding within a nation state that is devoting considerable resources to find you. It’s also somewhat a function of what you’re willing to give up to hide.

It's not just the Web, it's how the internet was created "Rough consensus and running code". People have always crafted their own specs and initial implementations first, and then sought out peer review.

It's how the IETF worked with RFCs.

It's usually never been the case that successful standards have been developed whole-cloth by committee and are almost always the result of a single inventors doing 80% of the work, making lots of proposals and shipping experiments to early adopters, and the standards groups refining it before shipping.

This is a really great response and I'm curious how AWS will respond. It's particularly damning because AWS was arguing from a position of moral authority on the move, which I think was disingenuous. They wanted to create a fork and act like they weren't. Shay just called them out on it.

I also wrote up my own thoughts, but it's obviously not as relevant as this. I'm a little more blunt about what AWS is doing. I even throw in a comparison to Microsoft abusing their monopoly power in the 90's by distributing Explorer for free to kill off Netscape: https://www.influxdata.com/blog/aws-intends-for-their-new-pr...

Longer term, the real question is how Elastic will respond to this commercially. Will they create more closed source? Go higher up the stack into specific applications? It's going to be an interesting and tumultuous couple of years in open source infrastructure software.
The existence of a design flaw does not need any crash data to prove that it exists. It like saying that a software vulnerability needs to be proven by successful hack attempts. The issue exists regardless.

What we don't have data on is the effectiveness of recommendations designed to mitigate the risk. A repeated crash is evidence that the mitigation is not sufficient.

AA's (and Southwest's) 737 Max aircraft have some differences to those flown by most other operators, including Lion Air, with regards to the display of AOA indicators and the "AOA disagree" warning light.

I can imagine these optional indicators make it easier for pilots to quickly diagnose if an AOA sensor fault is causing misbehavior of the MCAS, and gives AA's pilots more confidence in their aircraft.

> If you don't like the App store don't buy Apple products.

The main issue with the App store (in terms of antitrust) isn't one of consumer choice but rather of taking advantage of network effects to enable rent seeking behaviour. App developers face little real choice, this inhibits the development of new app markets which would otherwise create value for consumers/developers beyond the value lost by Apple shareholders. It's economics 101.

> She is doing what politicians do best, using resentment, jealousy, and more, to gain more power and money.

If these were her goals she would surely fair better with a carrot rather than a stick (tax breaks perhaps). Her current proposals would drive business owners to support her political opponents - hardly a recipe for power and money. The proposals may be somewhat symptomatic, but it is a far stretch to conclude the agenda which you outline.

You seem to have a misunderstanding about the purpose of antitrust regulation. It is not simply a matter of consumer choice or outcomes (a widely perpetrated view) - there are considerations of prices, coercion, competitive barriers and other outcomes, not only for consumers but for competitors, suppliers, workers, investors, citizens, etc.

Even when there is no evidence of a company actively exerting market power regulators still need to consider the potential that they might do so in future.
Wow elastic seems salty. I don't think this blog post was a great idea. While I understand that they need to monetize their project, I have been put off by them putting their security features behind a paywall. They literally advertised "Security" as non-existent on their XPack pricing page for their basic free plan.
Furthermore, I am still laughing about how the author litteraly wrote that Amazon "bluntly copied" them, "sadly, painfully, with critical bugs".

Just my 2 cents. I don't care about Amazon's distro, I think it won't work. Others have tried, e.g. MariaDB vs MySQL, OpenOffice vs LibreOffice. Time will show though...

I don't know what "regular users" means. I write new Alpine packages often, you shouldn't expect everything to already be there - especially with respect to GUIs. If you're not prepared to do that (and you should be, imo), Alpine may not be for you. I love it, though, it's simple and efficient, and doesn't get in my way.
I don't think that's what's being proposed.

It's that if they are going to control the App Store they can't also participate with their own apps.

For instance, Apple Music, which has gotten over 50 million paying users not by being the best music app but by being pushed heavily by Apple as the platform owner.

In Warren's plan, Apple Music could not be controlled by Apple. It would have to compete in the App Store on its own merits.

This might seem cynical but I mean it quite honestly: I don't miss them.

I think the cultural winds have changed anyway, post Jobs, as the wider perception of SV has gone from tech utopia to bro dystopia etc, where there's less collective naiveté and appetite for cult-worship (though still enough for a steady stream of people to throw their best years at someone else's get-rich gamble). PG probably left at the right time when he sensed the winds changing. I don't think the trajectory would have continued if he had stayed. This might all the wrong, of course.

Most of the West would not care much (about a foreign government knowing who’s reproductive and not, unless it leads to forced reproduction for the motherland). It looks more like journalists wanting to score points. They state they don’t know who owns the database. As of now it’s all speculative.

For all we now it could be about reproductive health.

I bet Kaiser-Permanente knows who is reproductive or not for at least a subset of their patients.
I tend to agree. A company I was associated with was in YC a while back and there were a number of companies that had zero traction at the time. I truly believe that they put a put a good deal of weight on the talent of the group, so even teams that didn't have a fully fleshed out idea could be accepted. Of course, having a good team and product with fit is better.

I don't like Facebook, either for its personal impacts on my mental well-being or its broader societal impacts. That being said, they have a pretty reasonable policy against mentioning Facebook in ads generally, because they had lots of ads that attempted to seem like official Facebook content ("Facebook releases new game!"), and they allowed the ads subsequently upon appeal

Impeding security updates seems rather unethical. Unless you mean backports to old/stable versions, which is still iffy in my mind but does at least maintain a way to stay secure for everyone.

> The Supreme Court refused to overturn the appeal, which means they upheld the decision of the lower courts.

Completely incorrect. "The Court usually is not under any obligation to hear these [appealed] cases, and it usually only does so if the case could have national significance, might harmonize conflicting decisions in the federal Circuit courts, and/or could have precedential value. In fact, the Court accepts 100-150 of the more than 7,000 cases that it is asked to review each year." Source: https://www.uscourts.gov/about-federal-courts/educational-re...

The SC not hearing the case doesn't mean they uphold the lower court's ruling, it means they aren't hearing the case.
It is not uncommon for "inferior cuts" to end up being highly sought after gourmet food.

For example bouillabaisse was made by fishermen from bony rockfish that couldn't be sold. It is now considered gourmet food and you probably won't find proper (chartered) bouillabaisse in Marseille for less than 50 euros per person, and you need to order at least a day in advance and as a group.

I followed and even used the tool StoryLine (which is now the enterprise tool https://www.invocable.com/). They had a very active Facebook group that I watched for awhile. The problem I found was that the tool made it too easy to build apps for Alexa. People would put out really junky apps that were the equivalent of fart apps long ago. Now some may argue that all app platforms need to go through this stage but I'd argue Alexa is different. The iPhone, pre app store days, provided other utility that was the driving force behind buying the phone. Alexa is seemingly reliant on 3rd party apps (with a few very minor exceptions ex. timers, weather etc) and therefore if there is no "killer app" what is the motivation to buy one?
> Reparse points are basically more primitive directory-only symlinks, aren't they?

Absolutely not! Reparse points are directories that are associated with drivers that extend the capability of the filesystem itself. They can be used to implement symlink-like behavior, but that's only a single use case that scratches the surface of their potential power.

So your argument is that a marketplace is a place where it is easier for a third-party to get their goods sold than a retailer? And the distinction is how a supplier gets their product in is the differentiator?

And then the argument is that the marketplace (where it is easier to get listed) should be regulated more than the retailer (which often uses control over sales to push prices up)?

I'm not onboard with this.
