I learned about it in regard to the prisoner's dilemma:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisoner%27s_dilemma

> Strategy for the iterated prisoner's dilemma

...

> The winning deterministic strategy was tit for tat, which Anatol Rapoport developed and entered into the tournament. It was the simplest of any program entered, containing only four lines of BASIC, and won the contest. The strategy is simply to cooperate on the first iteration of the game; after that, the player does what his or her opponent did on the previous move. Depending on the situation, a slightly better strategy can be "tit for tat with forgiveness". When the opponent defects, on the next move, the player sometimes cooperates anyway, with a small probability (around 1–5%). This allows for occasional recovery from getting trapped in a cycle of defections. The exact probability depends on the line-up of opponents.
Neither of those use cases involves the `btrfs filesystem resize` command. Removing a physical device is accomplished with `btrfs device remove`, and subvolumes don't have a capacity unless you enable the optional quota features (and even then, quota groups use thin provisioning, so setting a lower quota limit doesn't free up any space for anything else).
> Warren Buffett's secret to success is intense focus - instead of doing more, he does less. He once told his pilot that in order to reach his goals, he needed to do three things. The first was to write down his 25 top goals, and then circle the top 5 most important. Then, separate the top 5 into their own list - and goals 6-25 get put on a 'not to do' list. Ignore everything on the 'not to do' list until you've achieved your top 5.

You have to realize that most tech "journalists" are in their 20s and haven't been though a single market cycle yet. For as long as they can remember, Facebook was a thing they used on their iPhone and it was the top social network and Apple was the top phone maker.
>Again, even when it was CDDL it wasn't a real problem. See ZFS.

ZFS is not in the Linux kernel, and Linus has stated that he will never merge CDDL licensed code due to license incompability.

Those Linux distros that distribute ZFS do so as a separate module, not part of the Linux kernel.

DTrace was GPL licensed too late (2018), something even Brendan Gregg stated as he finds eBPF more capable (and he is a leading expert on DTrace).

First off, congrats on the launch and for tackling an underappreciated problem with EVs.

I'm excited about the concept, because it has the elements of something great. But I'm skeptical about the "sharing economy" approach of renting out time on home chargers. Like others have mentioned, the real problem is affordable, available chargers at the user's residence, rather than trying to make more chargers available in residential neighborhoods.

But the other problem that EV users have, especially users that aren't simple there-and-back commuters, is that they need predictable and dependable charging while away from home.

I own an EV myself, and I can't tell you how many times I've made a trip somewhere during the day, expecting to have a charger available, only to find that they're all taken when I arrive. This is somewhat alleviated by networked chargers, where you can see whether they're available beforehand, but there's been many occasions where the charger is snagged by someone else while I'm driving there. Because of this I'm extremely cautious about driving too far in a given day, and in fact, end up using a regular gasoline car if I know I have to drive beyond the range of my EV, since it's too hard to tell if and when I'll be able to charge along the way.

So where your concept comes in is the ability to reserve chargers. That means I can actually plan my day, plan a road trip, etc. And ideally the chargers will be in the same places I actually want to go - along freeways, in shopping centers, downtown, etc (i.e. not far off in residential areas).

I could definitely see this as a service that could plug into existing networks (e.g. EVGo, Blink, Chargepoint, etc), although getting them all to play nice together is difficult. But I would heartily applaud someone who could organize and simplify EV charging away from home and make it dependable and predictable. Good luck!
Sure. That algorithmic rule is to prevent people from pretending to be FB or pretending to have FB's authority in ads (the you can't use the fb logo rule). It wasn't meant to target critics of FB.
I hope you’ll agree it is not an identity to be say a male attracted to other men. It’s a sexual orientation. To suggest it’s an identity is to suggest everyone’s sexual orientation is an identity and that undermines a huge amount of progress with made over the last thirty years accepting that you precisely can’t “pray away the gay”. So we shouldn’t conflate those two things.

> Dr. Soh supports trans conversion therapy, under the idea that "boys who want to play with dolls and identify as female aren't trans, they're gay", and should be forced away from their belief (that they're girls.)

That’s a strong assertion you’re making. You assert that she wants to force child girls who believe they are boys, and vice versa, to give up those beliefs. You also assert she thinks boys who play with dolls are gay.

Do you have a source for that?

> HRT doesn’t mean conversion therapy

I’m confused. Where is HRT said to mean conversion therapy here?

A company turned a modest profit? Say it isn't so!

The guy who wrote ElasticSearch created a company to finance the development of the project. For most of their history, they released their source code under a permissive license in good faith. Amazon abused that good faith, so now Elastic continues to make the source code open and license it freely to customers and the open source community (just not competitors).

I've got no beef with Amazon, but you're kidding yourself if you compare them with Elastic in terms of ambition, greed, commitment to open source, etc.
I agree. The only thing regulation is going to do is entrench existing internet companies and raise the barrier to entry for new startups to compete.
Of all the (many and varied) criticisms that can be levelled at the AWS Elastic Search service, integration with IAM is a strange one: it’s ‘harder to curl’, because it’s more secure.
You live in a scary world.
Aldi is really quite bizarre, in a way the article tries to capture. For all their rock-bottom prices on store brand goods, whose quality ranges from pretty good to never-again mediocre, they stock the store with a rotating selection of random crap that fell off the boat, baiting the impulse for an aspirational or just-in-case buy. But then again, by now, Amazon's front page recommends a carousel of similar dropshipped junk from vendors whose names appear to be machine-generated. At least Aldi bothers to "curate" in the sense of commissioning most of its stock as a store brand, whereas Amazon is seemingly devoid of the slightest amount of steering from above, save for locating popular items after-the-fact and releasing an AmazonBasics.

In the process, Aldi and its slightly-nicer copycats siphon away marketshare from normal stores who actually carry name-brand food and home goods you'd want to buy again, if you weren't on a misguided mission to penny-pinch. Stores pivot towards overpriced premade sandwiches, cafes and hot buffets, and meal kits that make zero economic sense, because that's where you can still pull a good margin. The middle empties out.

If you look, you can see this same process play out in other areas of retail and services. Aldi's gain is our collective loss, the widespread embrace of an insincere "good enough", either because our budgets are truly crunched, or because we don't let ourselves value our mundane maintenance desires. On the far side, people who have rejected this can look like they're engaging in conspicuous consumption. Sometimes they are.

> its quick and easy to do your whole shop

You can't do your whole shop because it's a lottery what they'll be stocking that day. They seem to just stock whatever was cheap at the time, which always makes me think someone else was trying to get rid of it for some reason. It's all random junk with no system or logic behind the range at all.

Not stocking apples today, but they have a huge range of pneumatic power tools for some reason, is a typical experience.

At least that's my experience of my local Aldi.
Some people get burnt out quick on a high demanding full-time job. Some people don't.

Some people require huge will power to exercise. Some people don't.

Some people require a huge amount of energy to maintain a quality relationship with their SO, for others is natural to have a good relationship.

I get your point. But my main idea is not related to that. Is about to build habits to make those high productive activities effortless.
While I understand your argument, I dispute that copy-left makes things inherently less appealing as open source, or that you can make any objective claim that liberal licenses ultimately result in broader utility.
1. I personally find copy-left inherently more appealing (as something to potentially contribute to) purely because of my ideological leanings.
2. While the first order calculation of use for liberally licensed software seems clearly in favor of them, it's impossible to ever know what benefits the copy-left restrictions would bring one or more orders removed from the original distribution.
I was always surprised one of the cloud providers didn't release a cloud-native full-text search service. A lot of projects could benefit by a simple text search service. I always found Elasticsearch to be a little clunky and found myself wishing there was an alternative. While I don't like to be locked into a cloud vendor, having a simple text search service might be enough to sway me towards a particular vendor, even if it's proprietary.

Amazon's Elasticsearch service does simplify installation and management, but honestly I wish it were even simpler. I don't want to even think about CPU/memory sizing or the number of shards.

> I always come prepared, with custom-made ear plugs that filter highs and lows equally. Protective preparation be damned, they played for 75 minutes and my ears rang for days.

That's what you get for using boutique plugs instead of the good old cheap foam ones that do -30 dB.

Flat frequency attenuation ... for a rock concert?

Okay, first of all, due to the Fletcher Munson curves, the perception of bass versus treble is affected by volume. If you want to hear the proper amount of bass that you're supposed to hear at concert volume, but at a lower volume, you in fact need to attenuate the highs more; certainly not flat attenuation.

Why not use wine corks for ear plugs; then you can literally do cork sniffing before putting them in.
Yeah, it's really random though. Like some things are 20% more, some are 20% less. I find it comes out roughly even...

Speaking of random, those center aisles... I'm almost always tempted to buy some interesting item that we really don't need.

Another point is that the pirate scene obviously does not care at all about patents/openness, so their choices are driven strongly by technological factors. Plain old conservatism also plays a role.

This can be seen in warez too, where RAR is still popular despite 7z being often just as good in compression ratio while also open.

Good things come to those who write
I read that slightly different, but I think your interpretation of it is accurate to the text.

My first read made me think it was in context to a company open sourcing code, particularly hosted software. If your product is SaaS (particularly infrastructure software), one might think twice about open sourcing it, or building it as open source.

I don't know the history of elastic though, so the above may not be an accurate interpretation given more context.

I am now curious if there is a license that allows people to profit using software, but not profit by selling software that conforms to some API. Basically gating the company to be the only company who can provide the SaaS solution.

However, I don't think that license would apply to the actual API / algorithm, just the actual source.

I think this is when it starts to bleed over into software patients.
As I long time user of ES I applaud Amazon's effort here. ES is not new and it is missing basic functionality.

Basically sounds like Redhat was the last Redhat. Docker, Mesosphere, ElasticSearch, Aquia etc be damned?
It depends. There are specific things that FB has done that makes their censorship unwelcome in many leftie circles - e.g. the real name policy is seen as transphobic by many, and their "indecent content" standards as sexist. They have also removed comments such as "all white people are racist" as hate speech.

But yes, I would say that most of her voters want different priorities in online censorship, not less of it. It will be interesting how she navigates that - "social media marketplace that isn't dominated by a single censor" is vague enough that Voat could put it on their front page as an endorsement (and they just might, if only for the sake of trolling).
I'm pretty sure "partial monopoly" is an oxymoron.
There are both in my town.
I've been using free Dropbox for a long time. After hitting my storage limits about year ago, I started learning about alternatives for the paid plans. Ended up with self hosted Nextcloud ( https://nextcloud.com/ ), which is open source. Been super happy with Nextcloud, would definitely recommend it for anyone who isn't fully happy with Dropbox.

The clients for macOS and iOS are not as polished as Dropbox and many apps use Dropbox integrations, but I've managed to find workarounds for everything except 1Password, which is why I'm currently looking for alternative (preferrably open source) solutions for it.

For me the self hosting is not a problem and there are several hosted options available as well. (For example: https://www.hetzner.com/storage/nextcloud )
> Facebook has no monopoly on internet advertisement

They do on local political ads. Google searches are no longer effective for targeting those not already political involved. The local papers have been run out of business. Direct mail is expensive and unreliable. Pretty much all roads in this arena lead to Facebook, which makes its willingness to censor opinions unfavourable to it disturbing.

There are strong reasons to break up Facebook into, at the very least, Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp.
Thank you, I had a client say that they are providing zero knowledge authentication system which didn't mean that you can prove that you're logged in, but without revealing your username (or something like that), but simply that you can login using public/private key.

I don't get it - How is this different than Oracle forking RHEL or any number of other times this has happened?
Yes, exactly. And this is why people who say that Rust is too difficult and complicated to ever get traction have no idea what "difficult and complicated" even means in this part of our industry. The whole point of projects like Rust is to make these things a lot simpler and easier to get correct, and thus to empower everyone to write better code.

It's like a wizard invents an incantation for a free and infinite supply of apples. They freely give away that spell, facilitate improvements from others, encourage the world to use this great spell.

Then, someone starts selling apple sauce and it makes lots of money.

Now the wizard wants to get rich too... but their sauce isn't good enough, so they try to lock down the spell. People get upset. They helped improve the spell, why should the wizard get all the money? Or their livelihoods now depend on the spell, why are they suddenly forced to pay?

Now the apple guy decided he's going to stop playing that game, and starts supporting/improving/evangelizing a restriction-free apple incantation.

Optimized TF serving would perform similarly to Panini however, it's really hard to find good documentation on optimizing TF serving compilation parameters.

The answer is you use AGPL. The Webservice Exception to the GPL is how you get screwed by Amazon and others.

Amazon has never touched or forked an AGPL project.
To me, the whole point of open source is the right to fork. If you are trying to remove the right to fork, that's what seems like a threat to open source to me.
I can assure you that there are many working class people who have a problem with Facebook.

In fact, every time I see a discussion on Facebook and privacy in non-techie FB communities, it's surprising how negative people feel, and how many say that they would stop using it altogether, if they didn't have some connections there they cared about. It's basically lock-in via social graph, and don't think people are stupid enough that they don't notice.

If they wanted to monetize it, why not patent the new features, demand royalties from AWS, set royalty rates of $0 for small to mid size businesses, and keep it open source? Or customize the patent so that it's only enforceable against AWS.

I realize "patent" is a dirty word around here, but aside from that, what are the issues with the above strategy and is there truly no possible way around those issues?

Somehow I got tinnitus in one ear, and I didn't even go to any concerts. Maybe headphones on too loud. None the less, a friend got me to try on a set of Nuraphones, which I think are supposed to gauge how responsive your nervous system is to sound, and surely enough I had lost a fair bit of high frequency sensitivity.
You don't understand at all. Elastic starting monetizing it, not Amazon. They raised over $100M in venture capital. [1] They had a $2.5B valuation IPO. They made many features available through subscription only for over 5 years. [2] This is in contrast to the Apache Solr project, where the updates to the engine are made to the open source project and it is released in concert with Lucene.

Users aren't paying Facebook to host their content. FB have zero obligation to continue doing so. They are well within their rights to censor perniciously and arbitrarily.
In fairness it feels rather arbitrary and counterintuitive of a spelling rule.

> A lot of my fanboyism is based on the fact that Tesla is the ONLY company making performance EVs.

This is one of the reasons for my lack of enthusiasm about Tesla/electric vehicles. I don't especially care about acceleration performance - I'm perfectly happy with my $10k econobox that gets >700km per tank and handles pretty nicely.
Enterprise open source is bleak. There aren't very many enterprise open source projects with pure intent anymore, they are all looking for the big payday, which unfortunately companies like Google and Facebook have encouraged.

Look at Confluent/Kafka. The PMC is stuffed with Confluent employees and they behave that way. They aren't acting like an Apache project, they are only acting in their own self interest. Any new ideas get the run around, and only their ideas see the light of day. I don't even know why they bother being open source, except maybe to get the free development and bug fixes.
