> In my opinion it seems like Elastic wants ElasticSearch to still be perceived as the fully open source project (with all of its good connotations) it once was.

This. It is too bad they couldn't have satisfactory financial success building on open source and it is their right and perfectly fine to switch to a different model, but their justification as well as the SSPL dual licensing muddle the water unnecessarily.

At least the blogpost clearly states it is no longer open source, but then it goes "it's just definition, we're actually totally free and open, just, you know, not OSI free and open".
SSPL software is not free software, it is not FOSS. Calling it "free and open software" is misleading at best.
Right. The DMCA was written with the advice of the copyright holders' lawyers (and by them in some cases) and activists and others fought against it as hard as they could.

Even in 1998, the US government was corrupted by money. It's worse today, but this has been happening a long time.
I interviewed at Amazon, and researched their offerings to better prepare.

Until reading this news, I never realized ElastiSearch wasn't an Amazon product, I always believed ElastiSearch was Amazon's invention, because of how Amazon employees talk about (always "Amazon ElastiSearch" phrase, often dropping the "service" part of it, so is easy to assume it is "Amazon's ElastiSearch" like "Microsoft Windows")

So it is not just... "a few times too many", if I am interviewing for the company and got extremely confused, how other people wouldn't be confused too? And that is the whole point of trademark laws!
The article is single sourced from a PR company without showing their data by utilizing an emotionally charged subject to fuel people's confirmation bias and sell their services to companies to protect brands from misinformation. Lesser articles have been called out on HN... why not this one?

I never liked trump and especially hated him after his speech right before the Capitol riot that incited that national embarrassment. I really want to see those bastards that paraded the confederate flag inside the Capitol rot in prison for every and all charges that apply. However, I won't agree to make him a proverbial martyr either. That'll just fan those flames some more. I want to see the stupidity end entirely, not just publicly.

If all it took was to boot him from social media, then that would make him some damned smart evil genius all these years, dont you think? Or, and here's my theory, he's a guy with good entertainment skills and knows how to pick out disenfranchised groups and spin them in his favor. All this disinformation also comes from it being "secret knowledge" or "things THEY dont want you to know". Any form of suppression only gives that mentality a dangerous positive feedback loop.

Look, if you think open, honest discussions are a bad thing, then theres nothing here. Every line about logical fallacies, discourse and spreading of knowledge is bunk and a waste of time. A centralized, authoritative group is the only practical alternative. Deciding what is factual without the need for further discussion or testing, because they did all the leg work and we dont need to see the data or counter points. Multiple sources with multiple viewpoints stating their case is a failed concept.

I just think it's funny that everyone woke up that big tech has too much power. Now their PR companies are trying to spin it to show they should have even more power. And people are going to agree with it because of wanting to hate. Gotta love it.

In response to the holocaust denial line. Yea, there are holocaust deniers. Not a single one is told to shut up anymore in the last few decades. Their arguments are heard, then they are shot down through fair discourse. Anyone who witnesses these arguments can easily see who is right and who is wrong. Hasn't really been much of an issue since then. Sure there are a few idiots, but they're ignored by individual choice, not by systemic suppression.
> To achieve its very high IPC, M1 multiplies a lot of internal resources and also uses very large caches. All those require a huge number of transistors.

Yes & no. Most of the M1 die isn't spent on CPU, it's spent things like GPU, neural net, and SLC cache. A "basic" dual-core CPU-only M1 would be very manufacturable back in 2011 or so. After all, Intel at some point decided to spend a whole lot of transistors adding a GPU to every single CPU regardless of worth, there were transistors to spare.
I'm pretty sure a lot of projects would be open to doing it if offered $$$.
Torrent files in general, yes. Torrent files are not, by default, any sort of legal infringement.

Father Coughlin was engaging in hate speech which is illegal in most countries (the US is an exception)[1].

Advocating sedition seems like a fundamentally different thing with a lot more political implications. Normally such a thing would result in the censure of individuals, not entire classes of individuals.

My productivity went up by a lot once I got a remote office. I like commuting and having a place away from home to focus; the remote office provides both of those things.

We’ve also road-tripped to change locations and spice things up.
Well, quite! But then I pretty much assumed it was a shorthand amongst peers so (over) explanation perhaps wasn’t really necessary...

Great feedback. We could definitely work on improving the testimonials and social proof on the website. Honestly, we weren't expecting such a strong response on HN so didn't much as much thought/effort into this as we should. We'll work on improving this ASAP.
Good thing there aren't any lawsuits against anyone then.
No; I was just wrong.
I'm not the person you are replying to, but just wanted to add another data point, even if it's probably not what you want to hear - I think $50-$125 is more realistic.

FWIW, I also just polled my manager about this (without revealing my thoughts above), and he said $100 absolute max. For reference, this is at a megacorp (technically they could of course afford more, but budgets for anything related to employee happiness are squeezed tight).
Interesting idea, though I am wondering how you are going to scale since games involve live hosts? Rather you could use this as a platform to connect "live hosts" (who make up and publish their games) with companies wanting to connect.

You could provide platform, services, payment gateway etc.
> Yep: the community is built around the upstream project, and has a lot invested in their continued existence as an open source entity.

Ok, that was what I meant with 'upstream can reuse use the project name, infrastructure, etc.'. Probably a very big 'etc.' here.

So your point is more about that the contributors and the community helped build the brand and recognition of ElasticSearch, which is now, taken away from them.

That is a fair critique, IMO.

However, that Elastic as upstream of the project suddenly disappears for the community, I find is something, that unfortunately, many open source projects have to go through sooner or later.
> I think you're missing the fact that illegalization is pushing these substances and their users into the black market

> That is the equivalent of saying that someone with HIV created HIV -- after all, it was their body that kept producing more virus particles! QAnon and other BS is a virus that exploits the way platforms determine recommendations and whatnot

And just like with HIV, we now understand its method of propagation, know how to curtail it, and actually hold people criminally liable if they knowingly spread it.

Why are mainstream social media platforms given a pass here, considering not only do they knowingly operate a system where such content thrives and spreads, but also profiting off its spread?

> One side made the effort and came up short

One side did not make the effort. They profited off not making the effort despite having ample warning of the upcoming crisis. This doesn't make the other side any better, but neither does it mean that the first side should somehow be treated more leniently than the first one.

I'm not defending Parler, but if we're letting Facebook and others get away with this then so should Parler, so that it serves as a reminder to rethink our approach and eventually ban both of them or force them both to reform (as in actually reform, unlike Facebook which merely claims to moderate but only does so when they've been exposed).
I agree. I was pointing that file out because it supports what you were saying.
I had a similar experiencing when reading it, and now I'm wondering if there is a way to use a language model like GPT-3 to measure how unlikely a given string of words is, relative to other headlines.

I find it weird that so few tech people volunteer and dialogue on this topic; many aspects are waiting for exploration and exposition in the open. It is not all politics but rather a real phenomenon going on.
Which government buildings? The police just left the east precinct... And who were the armed protestors, what were they armed with? In my experience it was umbrellas and loud voices.

And keep in mind that the SPD did considerably more violence to a larger group over that time.
Hard for me to say what Facebook “is” because everyone’s is different. Mine has a lot more folk music on it than politics, for example. That’s one of the problems with it, no watchdog group (like the media) can evaluate it objectively and say “this is what it is.”

Did the same person write all these books, which altogether amount to upwards of 10k pages? From his website, he is quite an active research mathematician too. While just writing so many textbooks is a huge accomplishment in itself, the author has also made them available for free; I am lost for words at how prolific as well as generous the author is. I really want to know how this was possible, how long it took, and more about their motivation.
This year many high profile campaigns that spent the most money also lost, and the ones that won by spending the most were not "corporate" but were Bernie aligned.
>"peaceful" does not mean the same thing as "non-violent". The protests were not necessarily peaceful -- they intended to be disruptive

peaceful:

1. free from disturbance; tranquil.

2. not involving war or violence.
> It is thought provoking to think that the USA's interest in Taiwan is more about protecting TMSC than protecting a democratic state in East Asia.

Why it though provoking? It's always realpolitik. All wars are.

There's always a pretext but the subtext is what actually causes wars.
> it literally costs you nothing

There is cost. It's hard enough to communicate as it is, even without weird unpronounceable terms certain academics come up with.

Unfortunately, "inclusive" is among those weird terms, now with double, almost opposite, meaning:

Automatic board population has been the case for decades, yet electronics factories are for larger part non-automated past that.

Batteries are too a very easy to understand case for automation. You have to make a single widget without alterations by billions for year on end — exactly the case for maximum automation.
Have you ever seen a real world example of 'ultrasound' used to mean anything other than higher-than-audible frequencies?

Wikipedia's definition has it explicitly higher. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasound

That page says:

> Ultrasound is defined by the American National Standards Institute as "sound at frequencies greater than 20 kHz".

'Ultraviolet' means only higher-than-violet.

We have another word 'infrasound' for lower-than-audible frequencies.

I'm a native English speaker technically interested in sound for 40 years and I have never heard the 'subtlety' usage.

Could you give some concrete examples?

I think the scale of events resulting from a statement are taken into consideration. Terrorists have sprung up after being radicalized by what they heard from one politician or another, but we typically won't consider the politician responsible for those actions.

This probably starts going into whataboutism territory, but doesn't this stuff tend to go both ways? I'd postulate we can probably find a few damning quotes made on Fox as well.

I'll note I'm very ignorant on this topic as I haven't actually watched television or any of these networks in years.
I think it's a bit of both.

There is a pretty large fanservice/borderline NSFW/smut and similar Anime industry.

But there are also quite many Animes which don't have the problem or at most have a very small amount of fan service "sprinkl in". But in this generator the borderline NSFW stuff seems to be the main topic.
I think most of the chip testing facilities like LOADALL eventually got subsumed into the System Management Mode mechanism, triggered by "System Management Interrupts." It's become used by the portion of UEFI/BIOS firmware that's continually running in the background controlling fans and power, and has the ability to run completely hidden from the operating system by design.
it seems that these days most anime content borders on NSFW :(
As someone who worked in that industry for a long time (for BayTSP, which eventually got bought and pulled into Irdeto), the MPA/A is one of the more fervent (and obnoxious clients) we had. Not as dumb as say, Disney or NBC, but still...dedicated since the Valenti days to taking down anything that could event tangentially be related to downloading a movie without "permission"

It's a stupid industry, populated by even more stupid clients.
They used a similar reasoning as OP.

The huge increase on hospitalization in this month suggests heard imunity might not be possible. Either due reinfection, either because a more agressive variant is infecting people not yet imune.

Reports from region says the number of people with 40-50 years hospitalized substianlly increased when compared with first wave.

This new wave of infections seems to be caused by a new variant called P1, it include both B117 (UK) and E484K (SA) mutations.

This hypotesys is still under investigation, given the lack of genomic sequentialing during the first wave.

Yesterday a paper on this new variant was published (and given a new name).

People should be aware that is unlikely heard imunity will be achieved without vaccination. RNA virus are known to have a high mutations rate, and despite covid having a low mutation rate (given its large rna size), it still mutates a lot. And natural selection will favors the variation that spreads more.

> more hesitant choosing an storage solution if I knew the parent company has problems monetizing

You should be hesitant about choosing any mission critical product where you don't know how the vendor will make money. This is even the case with stable vendors. How many products has Google killed over the years because they could figure out how to make them profitable (enough)?
Corporations can't donate to campaigns, they can only collect voluntary donations from employees and only donate $5000 per campaign.

And Microsoft does donate to all the ones you don't like, so on this theory they'd be doing GitHub's bidding.
Not the same but if you have to use the same laptop you can create separate work and leisure user accounts.

When I'm working I use a dock/monitor/mechanical keyboard and sit in an office chair, but after work I switch to just the laptop and sit on the couch. Every little bit helps.
Thanks GordonS. Really appreciate the data point. Interesting, the few managers we talked to as part of our user research indicated a much higher acceptable price point for employee engagement initiatives and the cost savings during the pandemic. Looks like we need to do more pricing research here.
I kind of feel Fitzgerald gets a lot more press than his contemporaries like Dresier, John O' Hara and Sinclair Lewis. How does Gatsby hold up against 'Sister Carrie' or 'An American Trajedy' or 'Main Street' or 'Babbitt'?
This has also been a big topic on r/wallstreetbets where users have organized around squeezing the shorts today. I’ve been following with mild interest.
I do not understand the justification given by the author. It actually does not say at all _why_ these must be versioned in the repository. "I just need read access" is not a good justification.
So what happens with https://sematext.com/ ? Outside of AWS, they use open-distro and do compete with elastic.co. Will they just go out of business by not being able to upgrade elastic?
My Covid game went viral. Now what?
Hey Hackers!

I'm 16 years old and a game I built (covidinvaders.com) went viral.

That's extreme and violent. We can do better than this.

As someone who makes money selling software, I think we should abolish copyright and let these companies give contracts to their users which bind them not to share the songs and movies they bought.

Then it's up to the company to report when actual violation is occurring and bring, in a fair court case, whether a certain user shared the material or not, breaching their contract with the company.

If you access material shared breaching a contract you're not doing anything illegal.

If you're selling passively too many copies that enforcing all these contracts is too problematic or expensive, you can consider it a natural market tax on the huge profits you're making.

We shouldn't give shortcuts for companies to enforce their copyright, they have this problem specifically because they are the richest 1%.

Not only have we been fully WFH in the EU, in many areas we were not allowed to leave our homes except for groceries, for extremely long periods of time. I live in Madrid, this went on from March 30 to May 2 (I'm having trouble finding the exact dates, as they are not the same for every region in Spain, so we might have been locked down a bit longer than this).

After that, there were very rigid limitation about at what times we were allowed outside and at what times. At the beginning we were not allowed to be further than 1KM from our house, and only from 06:00 to 10:00 and from 20:00 to 23:00.

The core of Elastic-search is Lucene, another OSS. I'm sure the ES team contributed a lot to Lucene, but do they share their profits with all the Lucene developers? You can think about Elastic as a hosted service around Lucene.
>the community helped build the brand and recognition of ElasticSearch

and the software itself. Elasticsearch accepts patches from the public, albiet accompanied by a signature on the CLA that grants Elastic unfettered rights to do anything they want with the code.

>However, that Elastic as upstream of the project suddenly disappears for the community, I find is something, that unfortunately, many open source projects have to go through sooner or later.

Maybe, but it still doesn't make it right. This wasn't an accident, or the consequence of a company gradually succumbing to attrition. It was deliberately done for the profit motive in an already profitable company, and excused away with gaslighting and misinformation. This is why I chose to criticize them on my blog.
> We've been "stuck" at the 3-5ghz range for something like half a decade

It’s closer to two decades, actually. Pentium 4 (Northwood) reached 3.06 GHz in 2002, using 130 nm fabrication process.
I would go further and say that the modeling isn't even a big deal (in terms of state machine complexity) as long as you are enforcing immutability at your domain boundary. If only domain methods are able to mutate state, it's a lot easier to find where bugs might be hiding. If any consumer of your domain model can mutate anything in any way it sees fit and then invoke some generic UpdateState(model) method, then you have a much bigger problem.

Put differently, as long as you have good accountability of all the things that can change the state and are comfortable with how that set of things operates, then you are probably in a decent position.
