I could have used MSNBC and the Democrats. They have George W's former press secretary with her own show, so I'd say they are biased against the current GOP, less so against conservatives.

As far media and press is concerned, fact based and neutral is the strongest endorsement I can think of.

You could probably still become an MD if you really want it. Go volunteer, maybe in a 3rd world country. You might have to retake some of the qualification classes too. The Caribbean med schools seem to be a good deal. I know a guy who went from being a professional chef to MD in his thirties. There's going to be a big shortage of doctors and I think covid burnout is probably a thing too.
This isn't about the product itself. If I use AWS ESS, I don't need Elastic Professional services. That's probably where they make money.

Yup, pretty much the life story of open source. Some people always tend to get upset that individuals/companies either don’t spend every waking second on a project or want to get paid for their work if used in commercial products.

It’s honestly no different than a leach
Having free speech is bad, but not having it is even worse. Limiting free speech is a slippery slope once you start it hard to stop it. Suppose what could have happened if there were no free speach but bad actors in the government or in big corporations?

But what are they confused over? "Amazon RDS for SQL Server" seems no more and no less confusing to me than "Amazon Elasticsearch Service".

As a user, I don't care in the least about the business relationship behind the product. I care about whether Amazon RDS works like SQL Server and whether Amazon Elasticsearch Service works like Elasticsearch. What financial arrangements, if any, are behind the scenes are not a concern to users.
When I learned that allegedly Intel and nVidia were fixing the laptop market, I just hope that this company goes down or goes through a substantial transformation. Their current management situation is untenable. If I was a shareholder (fortunately I am no longer), I would pressure them to sack everyone involved.

If you think about how these providers deploy a cloud facility, it makes sense that the offerings in a given place are relatively static. The whole network design, thermal/mechanical design, and floor plan is built with certain assumptions and they can't just go in and rack up some new machines. It evolves pretty slowly and when a facility gets a new machine it is because they refresh the whole thing, or a large subset of it.

That said, the EPYC machine type is available in 12 zones of four different regions in the US, which isn't bad.
Windows Vista's problems were relatively easy to solve though. Driver issues naturally sorted themselves out over time, performance became less of an issue as computers got more powerful, and the annoyances with Vista's security model could be solved with some tweaking around the edges. There wasn't much incentive to jump from the Windows ecosystem, as there was no doubt that Microsoft could rectify these issues in the next release of Windows. Indeed, Windows 7 went on to be one the greatest Windows release ever, despite being nothing more than a tweaked version of the much maligned Vista.

Intel's problems are a lot more structural in nature. They lost mobile, they lost the Mac, and we could very well be in the early stages of them losing the server (to Graviton, etc...) and the mobile PC market (if ARM PC chips take off in response to M1). Intel needs to right the ship expeditiously, before ARM gets a foothold and the x86 moat is irreversibly compromised. Thus far, we've seen no indication that they know how to get out of this downward spiral.

You've also claimed that it's "almost entirely out of the hands of Canonical", which it is not.

I'm with you on the "it's not explicitly-for-profit" point at the moment, but it is set up in a way that it could change at any point. Whether it's set up that way deliberately or not, we can only guess.

Anyway, Ubuntu derivatives are approaching the topic with this in mind. Linux Mint forbids snapd from being installed via apt (https://www.theregister.com/2020/06/02/linux_mint_team_snap/), and elementary OS goes a step further and is working on making its entire app ecosystem flatpak-exclusive (https://blog.elementary.io/elementary-appcenter-flatpak/).
Those are great if they’re in your overall budget. Depending on machine layout you could need 4 of those. Spending $400 on motors alone puts this firmly in the very expensive end of the hobby CNC spectrum.

The closed loop functionality will never come into play with properly sized motors, though.

If the machine gets to the point where the closed loop function is trying to make up for lost steps, it’s almost certainly because something has gone wrong (crashed machine into workpiece, for example). At that point, it’s actually better to halt the machine and alert the operator, which is what a lot of people end up using closed loop stepper feedback for.

New Trinamic stepper drivers have some built in functionality to detect stalled steppers, which can be used for the same effect.

Closed loop steppers definitely aren’t bad, but they’re not a must-have for hobby machines.
How? RISC-V will have to have memory model, for example, which will define some at least effective execution model. If you turn RISC-V into not RISC-V you might as well just start from scratch.
The notion of Open Distro for ES being "a fork" is, in my opinion and as of last I checked, overblown. Yes, they bundle a bunch of freely licensed stuff to make up for features that Elastic themselves have paywalled off (or sealed behind their free-to-use, but non-libre, custom license where they don't show/include sources either), but they rely on and effectively install the (hitherto) Apache-licensed upstream release of ElasticSearch, as published by Elastic.

Also, if you take a closer look at Open Distro, you will quickly come to the conclusion that you really do not want to deploy what drops out of there. The RPM package does CRAZY stuff that made me exhale audibly enough for coworkers to notice - like spawning a postinstall shellscript that `wget`s a .so for/from an optional library that the Open Distro release team put into an S3 bucket, and then `mv`ing that downloaded file (iirc even without any content verification; so the content could be your proxy's captive portal markup, for all they know) into (again, iirc) /usr/lib. That is from WITHIN AN RPM PACKAGE, mind you, where you could and should really just carry that file yourself.

That and other minor troubles with the tooling surrounding the actual product (ES) made me abandon Open Distro fairly quickly. Which is a shame, since a really freely licensed spin of ES with "Enterprise" features would indeed be very nice to have.
A big chunk of European systems are neither of those three, there are three axes, one is regulation, another the practice, and the final one is funding.

France for example, has mostly public funding, relatively heavy regulation (prices are fixed), but practice remains mostly private (though mixed in hospitals).

Switzerland has mostly private funding, even heavier regulation (insurance is mandatory and you can't be refused for pre-existing conditions, for example), and most practice is private (some public hospitals).

The big elephant in the room in US healthcare is that funding is 50/50, yet you can only benefit from the public part by being old or extremely poor.
No. You are confusing between following FOSS licensing to the letter and following the spirit.
If they just wanted to stop AWS they would just put the BSL on top of their previous license: https://perens.com/2017/02/14/bsl-1-1/

That way Amazon couldn’t use their code to provide a SaaS until after 4 years and after that time it would be business as usual and be proper open source.

The license they used now is forever non-opensource, which is a much larger change than what’s merited here I think.

Does it really contain ElasticSearch? It is a fork right, so can you still call it ElasticSearch? I don't think you should be able to use the name in this case, and you definitely can't say you are "partnered" with a company when you most definitely aren't.
Yes, you can. Please do. It would be a net benefit to humanity if everyone did that. Capita only use the bullying tactics because they think that it will get them an increased return. However, they are technically nothing more than very pushy sales agents trying to sell you something. If everyone told them to get stuffed, there's an extremely slim chance that they might choose a more pleasant tactic. I wouldn't hold one's breath though.

You can also write to Capita and tell them that they are not welcome on your property, and then they can't even walk up to your front door. If you have a sticker on your front door rejecting cold callers and door-to-door sales, then they are trespassing as soon as they knock. Call the police if they don't leave. I have heard enough stories of Capita agents doing misdeeds once inside that you should not trust them, regardless of how many threats they make. The only circumstances under which you should ever let them in is if they are accompanied by police with a search warrant.

You can also write to them and tell them that you view their threatening letters as harassment, and that they must stop sending them. You don't need to tell them your name - just your address.

> Elastic could have released ES as closed source, but they didn't, and the OSS ecosystem is better for it.

Except elasticsearch was created before the company Elastic even existed. They couldn’t have released it as closed source because they weren’t there to release it at all.

It was written by one guy and it was based on previous open source code in Lucene.

I am ok with them making money off their project, but it isn’t like they are owed a billion dollar company for their work.
I’m not sure if this is true. It looks like Amazon makes lots of contributions to open source [0][1]. They don’t literally contribute to every project they use, but think they add lots to the ecosystem.

But even if they contributed nothing at all, that’s part of open source in that it’s free for everyone to use regardless of anything else, depending on the license.

I think it’s a virtuous byproduct that all this free, allowed use leads to people contributing more open source. Not because of compulsion, but through a shared philosophy.

Introducing taxes on externalities is a form of central planning. And I agree that it's a very valuable tool. (Regulation is a very valuable tool as well. Which one works better depends on the particular situation, e.g. regulation is superior when levying the tax is difficult in the real world.)

Also, many people will argue that if a market is subject to such taxes, then it is no longer a free market. Perhaps you're not one of them and would consider such people misguided ideologues (we'd agree on that). However, the existence of such participants in the discussion needs to be acknowledged, and it very quickly feels like you're pointless talking about semantics.
I'm 100% on board with charging Rudy with incitement, but the charge against Trump himself is spurious at best.
Especially that no independent party with any authority (ie. a court) determined what's covered under "management layers". If I use a custom kernel (that's optimized to run the JVM and has filesystem and block storage optimizations for ES), do I have to provide the source for that? (It seems trivial that it's not "management", but naturally Elastic's interest lies in arguing that yes, that are covered under management layers too.)
The license change to the dual-license with SSPL and Elastic License hasn't happened — this is the state so far and all the code outside the `x-pack` folder is Apache v2 licensed.

Going forward the repository will have a dual-license and the top image on https://www.elastic.co/pricing/faq/licensing can hopefully explain that better.

In cases where a project hasn't been discussed on HN before, which it appears this one hasn't, we change the link to the project home page. I've changed it to that from https://github.com/vkbo/novelWriter/releases/tag/v1.0 now.

Up to about 1.6 grams per kg of bodyweight (or 0.73 per lb) is worthwhile. More is not:

> Dietary protein supplementation significantly enhanced changes in muscle strength and size during prolonged RET [resistance exercise training] in healthy adults. Increasing age reduces and training experience increases the efficacy of protein supplementation during RET.

> With protein supplementation, protein intakes at amounts greater than ~1.6 g/kg/day do not further contribute RET-induced gains in FFM [fat-free mass].
Itanium is dead but VLIW as a concept is still interesting to me.

"The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent" is a maxim that is repeated way before blockchain or Tether was a thing. So I understand if you don't want to take your chances to bet against crypto.

Yet, shorting Bitcoin is not the only way to put "skin in the game", and you should know that.

- There are a dozen different projects popping up every week that are genuinely focused on solving the issues that armchair specialists love to criticize, you could work on them.

- There are many crypto projects that have a more hybrid approach to have consensus and are more inclined to work with and not against the status quo (e.g, Stellar) - instead of just spewing the tired "crypto is for suckers" speech, how about finding a project that you think is deemed more worthy of respect.

- There are lots of people that need some way to store and transfer value without relying on local governments or financial systems. If you think people shouldn't use BTC for that, what alternative are you going to bring/propose?

So, to sum up: next time a discussion about BTC or crypto comes around, can you please drop the histrionics and bring something better to the table?
Human experimentation committee demands to approve Israel-Pfizer data sharing
I've resigned myself to the fact that we are more likely going to have a The Expanse space future than a Star Trek one but I don't think it's too bad either.
Because if I understand it correctly those type (not exactl that one) of thrusters propel "stuff" out of the engine not by combustion but by in this case ionizing it and pushing/pulling it along the thruster.

That way you can create higher thrust by increasing the speed you shoot it out without the need to increase propellant and it's not something that needs to be refined but you could gather it along the way.

So while it's not a reactionless thruster but it's main concern is still more on the energy side than on the reaction mass side
Track/Understand your open source project
They probably aren't worried about not becoming larger so much as getting swallowed whole by AWS. AWS has the economies of scale to severely undercut pricing. Especially considering they aren't spending anything on development cost. They can just let elastic search deal with that.
I think both are at fault. Amazon for provoking this and Elastic for over-reacting like this and totally break with the open source licensing, when that isn’t necessary to stop Amazon. They could do like MariaDB rather than follow MongoDB: https://perens.com/2017/02/14/bsl-1-1/ Would be much more appropriate and alienate the open source community much less.
Come on. There were at least two Presidents prior to the Civil War who basically shrugged off slavery, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans. Get some perspective.

And before you hang every covid death on Trump, please list for me the leaders of populous democracies that haven't been completely pwned by covid. Germany is currently showing higher deaths per million than the US, so don't bother naming Angela Merkel.
This seems really hyperbolic.
It absolutely makes sense to host outside of sphere of influence of people that want to shut you down. China would be a good candidate too (Russia is better, though, since there is 0 chance of good relationships with new admin), unless Parler's uses will become way too involved in China's internal affairs.
Good to know, and you're right. Glad to know it's not as dystopian as it sounds.
Yeah, this is what I meant by "X11-specific" solutions. Besides simply being an ugly hack (what if I don't have any spare outputs?), I'm not going to go back to XOrg just for that and a kernel-level solution sounds much more reliable anyway.
That means the business is taking safe bets. Depending on the industry this makes a lot of sense. If you are in a small business this probably won't help you.
My view is that currently the only way for Intel to salvage themselves it to go ARM route and start licensing x86 IP and perhaps even open source some bits of tech. They are unable to sustain this tech by themselves nor with AMD anymore.
It seems to me when Apple releases their new CPUs I am going to have to move to that platform in order to keep up with the competition (quicker the core, I can do calculations quicker and quicker deliver the product). Currently I am on AMD, but it is only marginally faster than M1 it seems.
If TSMC is going to be a monopolist fab for x86, then they will ultimately suck all the profits out of the server/desktop markets. This isn't just kinda bad news for Intel/AMD, it's really bad news.

You could also apply the watermarking on the sending user's side. During the meeting "handshake", the watermark could be issued to each participant. The watermark could then be encoded before pushing out to the server. This would then ensure that all video is encoded when it is received by any viewer, all while removing any work needed to be done by the server.
What Value Does an Artist Have?
I'm confused by the "abuse" part. If I think the author of the GPLed project "foobar" is a jerk, and I fork it and maintain it without colaborating with foobar's original author, am I "abusing" the GPL?

Personally, I don't think so, and I think I should have the right to do so. I wonder how this is different from Amazon behavior here. (I want to make clear that I'm not saying Shay or anybody at elastic is anything. This is for the sake of the example.)

Now foobar's author can stop me from using his project name by registering a trademark on it. But the GPL is working as intented.

At the end, "maintaning" a fork of Elastic is wasted engineering effort and time, it would be better to collaborate. But I personally think Elastic should just ignore Amazon and keep doing what their doing, instead of making their product proprietary.
> I live in Europe now, and I'm fine with high taxation. But for heaven's sake, call a tax a tax.

The BBC is license-fee funded rather than tax funded so that (in theory at least) they don't have to rely directly on the government for funding - private citizens directly fund the corporation.

This goes some way to ensuring more independence, and fairer news output.

In reality, the government holds the BBC to ransom every eight years when the royal charter they operate under is re-written. There will always be claims of political bias on both sides.

They seems to be a lot better when it comes to cooperating with eg Envoy and Kubernetes communities though?

Not sure how good they are with eg MySQL and PostgreSQL, anyone know?
That’s what I used to think, but now more companies use “open” with non-OSI licenses and they aren’t run out of town and told STFU.

Personally, any project using “open” in the name that’s not OSI, I pretty much ignore. But it seems to be growing (eg, “open core”, “openai”, stuff like this taking about open with non-open licenses).

It’s getting hard to filter out. One of the benefits I think to CCn is that it clearly lets users know what is and is not allowed. Having OSIn might help with people who don’t read licenses for fun.
The mind boggles! Counterfeiting, drugs, web hosting - any number of prohibited activities could take place there with no possibility of prosecution.
