I think it depends on the use of scientific principles in your work and the application of engineering ethics.

Software for a F-35 definitely falls under software engineering. Bolting together frameworks for a home page is not engineering. In the same way, bolting a new turbo on your car is also not engineering.

Similarly, engineering needs processes to ensure high quality products. Having test suites with complete code coverage is much like engineering. Having code reviews is like engineering.

In terms of ethics, there are not codes that are followed by software “engineers”, but the world would benefit from adopting the codes from engineering, namely the principle duty of an engineer to protect the safety, health, and welfare of the public. If you’ve ever programmed a dark pattern or created an addictive interaction, you’re not protecting the public.
You don't get to make assertions based on speculation. Across Linux there have been an infinite number of package managers, sometimes ones that integrate each other's protocols like how the PopOS store integrates flatpak. Is PopOS or the PopStore now explicitly for profit despite the fact that it doesn't sell a single thing?

Sorry, I have been in many different threads with different people and I don't think ever said "centralized services are useless", have I?

What you will usually read from me is that centralized services restrict our freedom, concentrate too much power in one single entity and are not worth the convenience.
I think "OSI Approved Open Source License" could easily be an OSI trademark, if it's not already.

Ironicallly, like many other organizations, Elastic themselves have used OSI's approval as a benchmark for 'open source'[1]:

> Is X-Pack now open source?

> Updated on 2018-04-24 with a link to the Elastic License

> Open source licensing maintains a strict definition from the Open Source Initiative (OSI).

> As of 6.3, the X-Pack code is open under the Elastic License. However, it will not be 'open source' as it will not be covered by an OSI approved license. The interaction model for open X-Pack will be identical to the open source Elastic Stack, including the ability to inspect code, create issues and open pull requests via our existing GitHub repositories.

The open source world needs to come together and create a license that is well crafted. Otherwise we will keep seeing these less suitable licenses.

So far the FOSS world seems to be pretending this problem doesn’t exist. Pretending a problem doesn’t exist doesn’t make the problem go away. It makes you go away as you become irrelevant.

There is the AGPL, but it's not quite right. It also has the letters G-P-L in it, which spooks a ton of people still influenced by Microsoft's billion dollars worth of anti-GPL FUD. (I'm convinced you could just rename the GPL and all those problems would go away.)
But you don't normally blurt it out like that :-)

I suspect that jobs in a TLA are closer to the Laundry files than James Bond.

> Our license change is aimed at preventing companies from taking our Elasticsearch and Kibana products and providing them directly as a service without collaborating with us.

I feel like I just said this a few days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25796849

The main value of open source to businesses is that support is truly commodified and there is no one with a stranglehold on it. ElasticSearch is trying to remove what makes open source appealing to businesses. No one wants to build their infrastructure on something with expensive IBM/Oracle-costing support. Basically, from now on, ElasticSearch has removed that benefit from their product and businesses are at risk. It's now much less appealing... is the remaining niche profitable? Only time will tell.

Note, why businesses find open-source appealing is not why developers find it appealing, or private individuals.
It is objectively false to say you are locked out of 99.9% of the population if Twitter, Amazon, and Google remove you from their platforms, and I think the fact that you believe such to be the case so unwaveringly means this conversation has come to an end.

None of the above appear to be related to AWS specific APIs and offer a small sample of total contributions from AWS employees.
The likelihood of Intel moving to ARM is probably nil. They have enough software to drag whatever ISA they choose with them, whereas AMD bringing up an ARM core could be fairly herculean as they have to convince their customers to not only buy their new chip but also trust AMD with a bunch of either missing or brand new software.
FWIW there are parallels to organized crime in what you wrote.
Elastic is still open source for anyone but Amazon or other cloud providers trying to resell their work.
Yes, it's incompatible, although you might be fine if you aren't distributing it or running it as a service. SSPL requires re-licensing of all code to the SSPL, GPL has provisions that disallow re-licensing.

> the simple requirement that if you provide the product as a service, you must also publicly release any modifications as well as the source code of your management layers under SSPL

This provision is effectively impossible for anyone to comply with in practice. Calling this a "simple requirement" is a barefaced lie.

I think the BBC are actually really great at avoiding the pop trap. They either do it very well or they just don't do it. I'd point to a lot of popular podcasts as "pop" rip offs of BBC pieces.

"Stuff you should know" is really just "In Our Time" with easier topics and no experts for instance. Plus no 500 episode backlog over several decades.

I've seen it in production. But the simple solution is to cap the number of threads to a reasonable value (ulimits, Kubernetes Pod Security Policy) and add observability for thread count.
> But the family is often very unattractive

More than unattractive, they are often completely hopeless, beyond saving. So when resources are not infinite, better to focus on saving the kids, that has much better chances of succeeding.
Why do you feel the need to to free PR work for Amazon? Amazon has no respect for its business partners, let alone competitors or employees; why should the Elastic team have an obligation to not be mad? Mad is a human emotion.
Markdown absolutely does not shine when it comes to tables, at the very least. Unless you're using a variation of the 'standard', of course.
I want to second this this method. It also works great in a research setting. There, the cool down also allows reflection on the past few week to update expectations and goals for next cycle. While not following this method strictly, I've been cycling through my work like this for past 12 months.
One of RISC-V's main goals is to be boring and extensible. Think if it as the control-plane core, or the EFI for a larger system. You would take RISC-V and use it drive your novel VLIW processor.

- print quality output in PDF and epub with a single click (and many available themes to choose from).

- nice eye pleasing UI that put me in the right mood for writing

- good integration with my third party writing assistance software (Antidote).

Elastic has the same problem that MongoDB has with Amazon: Amazon is commoditizing their product on a massive scale.

Not sure what other alternatives are there besides changing licensing.

Not just dictators. You think EU is going to let American social companies dictate which of their citizens and representatives (!!!) can and cannot have access to what become a standard mass communication channel (i.e. what social media became)? Hell no. They may hate Trump, but they weren't fans of Trump's Twitter/Facebook ban and they sure as hell won't let Jack effin Dorsey be their arbiter of free speech.

That code will always carry the original license.
It does seem like a fantastic tool for those who want more functionality. I'm absolutely not surprised there's a market for it - as I said, there's clearly a huge span in terms of what writers want.

And where do you find it? Google? Also the witch-hunt doesn't stop there. Next up is the hosting (looking at Parler). I can't wait to see when registrars are next and you have to type in a dynamic IP given by the ISP. But everyone could reach you, they just have to know the IP. If that really would be viable ISP would be the next logical step in the witch-hunt.

How to Read More, Write More, Exercise More, and Procrastinate Less
AWS have recently invested in DevRel and open-source evangelist type employees (to be found on twitter much of the time). I assume they understand better than anybody that the dev and startup dollar is enormous and crucial to their future success. This type of thing - and their past willingness to leach off open-source - has to have a marketing and sales impact - at least at the 'startup' top of the funnel. Is it sufficient to push AWS to change direction? Would be good to see a RocksDB, Cassandra or the likes emerge from AWS.

Again, this does not address what I took issue with, which is "explicitly for profit". There is no indication that this assertion is even remotely true. I did call out the proprietary nature of some of their server code, but again, that does not yield "explicitly for profit" which nullifies the posters point.
Yup. If you, understanding your product, your users, and your licensing, write a post for your users not to worry, it means that you thought about your changes and came to a well informed position that there was reason for worry.

Most of the issues in the article were about misuse of the Elasticsearch trademark. This seems like a fairly simple problem to deal with. AWS should not be competing with Elasticsearch using it's own trademark. The licensing changes really do nothing to solve the bad behavior by Amazon.
Elastic CEO's tweet thread on license change
Could this potentially drive users to the Amazon fork? If I'm a business that may be impacted due to the licensing change, it would seem my safest (legal) option would be to freeze on the last version with a friendly license and then transition to the Amazon fork, since it will probably stay under a more open license. While maybe not the smartest technical decision, from a business standpoint it seems like a reasonable insurance policy, at least until someone else tests the waters in court.

Amazon doesn't have any interest in making their version closed because they want the money from hosting. Even if the product isn't that great, it's super easy if I'm already 100% in on AWS anyway (not necessarily reality, but it is an easy conversation to have and the service should be big enough to warrant investment from AWS).

I applaud the stand they are taking and it will be interesting to see how this plays out.
I mean aside from exaggerating, yes riots did happen in portland.

My point was to point out the absurdity of comparing a riot after months of gassings of protestors and innocent civilians and all that happened was some property damage, versus where the police treated the rioters with kid gloves and they still beat a cop to death

Something along those lines is trademarked
It is because their size and monopoly position makes then threatening of course. I imagine they will be less threatening after getting broken up but so far there's little evidence that will actually happen.

I'd say it's realistic at this point to just assume they will stay unregulated monopolies and protect yourself as much as you can. It's not like it's even possible to actually "cancel" companies like this, that's just silly.

Since AWS implies that Elastic is involved in the offering, I'd sue AWS for defamation. Having your name associated with a AWS service, and such a shitty service at that, cannot be good for your business.

Amazon doesn't give back to open source maintainers at all. They take and take with no return. This isn't normal in the open source community.

The first workout of the year feels like you will die. A few weeks later that same workout feels like a warm up. Pain is always involved.
AWS is basically just rebranded open source on a centralized admin dashboard, there's an infographic somewhere breaking it down.

True genius is always making someone else's blood and sweat into a package that gracefully solves a big pain point and Amazon building up AWS has been nothing but genius.
> It doesn't matter what they say, read the license.

I would love to but the terms within the ElasticSearch codebase on Github are quite confusing. Here's the text of the LICENCE.TXT file.

Source code in this repository is covered by one of three licenses: (i) the
Apache License 2.0 (ii) an Apache License 2.0 compatible license (iii) the
Elastic License. The default license throughout the repository is Apache License
2.0 unless the header specifies another license. Elastic Licensed code is found
only in the x-pack directory.

The build produces two sets of binaries - one set that falls under the Elastic
License and another set that falls under Apache License 2.0. The binaries that
contain `-oss` in the artifact name are licensed under Apache License 2.0 and
these binaries do not package any code from the x-pack directory.

Aside from not showing copies of the applicable licenses, it seems you have to read the code headers to determine which source file has which license. There are a lot of ways to respond to competitive threats from Amazon, but this approach is increasingly chaotic the closer you look.

GCP only offer Epyc CPUs in some regions. None of those regions are ones we use! Gah!

Can someone update us on where AWS offer them, if at all?
No, the idea never was to "tax the rich". The license fees as present in many European countries are not taxes because the broadcasters are independent from the governments, including full control over what they do with _their_ budget. The idea is that the governments cannot (threaten to) cut their budgets to enforce pro-government reporting on public broadcasters.
This *is* organized crime, however the author made it a point that these areas are *not* under rule of the law.
Redis itself is proper open source. There are a few modules, completely separate from the Redis code base, that aren't open source (even though Redis Labs will claim they are, like how Elastic claim Elasticsearch is open source).

The other non-open-source-but-wants-open-source-clout is Mongo.
This is tangential, but, speaking of intellectual property, was MongoDB entitled to strip the FSF copyright in the SSPL ?

No, if anything I'd say even less. Private broadcasting can be influenced by add customers, politics and so on. Public briadcasting more or less only by soft political influence. Which tends to balance itself out between parties anyway. So if anything, basic bias tends to be the best reflection of the current center I can think of.

Acceptance rates are a meaningless figure. The reason is that if there are 100 applicants, and 100 spots, and every applicant sends out 100 applications, the acceptance rate will be 1%, but they will all get spots.

The qualities that you mention in your above post might have made you unhappy as a doctor, even if you had gotten in. I live in a town where you can't swing a cat without hitting a doctor. Most of them strike me as people who would have gotten 4.0 GPA's for the pure enjoyment of it, i.e., competing for a 4.0 was in fact a dream job for them while it lasted. Their kids all have 4.0 GPA's as well. Those who have social lives tend to be older. Many end up switching to part-time status or retiring early. The rich ones all had family money to invest and are not solely dependent on salary income.

I think most people prefer to adopt very young children, without issues, rather than older ones that come from problem homes. The latter will be much harder to manage.

Also, racial matching is not just about parents wanting white kids because of "racism", it's usually easier for the children to fit in and feel integrated into their new environment if they look more or less similar to their family.
