> Elastic built a popular product off the work of countless open source contributors. That's how they became a market leader in this product space.

That's simply not true. Elasticsearch and Kibana are primarily built by developers on the Elastic payroll.
You can verify this by looking at the "Contributors" tab on Github for both projects. I honestly couldn't find a single person there who wasn't employed by Elastic at the time of their contributions.

> The people who contributed to the product did so with no expectation of reward except that their efforts would remain open source

Again, did you do a survey of any of these people? Seeing they are Elastic employees I guess they asked for more than just OSS glory... Probably lunch and and a pay check.

> But yanking the Apache license out and moving to a more-restrictive license is not the right solution, and is not what everyone who contributed to building the product signed up for.

What would you suggest, at this point in time, that Elastic did instead?
They released the projects as OSS 10 years ago - there's no changing that. Now they need to stop Amazon or they might not survive as a company.
I'm honestly interested to hear your suggestion.

>The region acquired the name Wyoming by 1865, when Representative James Mitchell Ashley of Ohio introduced a bill to Congress to provide a "temporary government for the territory of Wyoming".

> The region's population grew steadily after the Union Pacific Railroad reached the town of Cheyenne in 1867, and the federal government established the Wyoming Territory on July 25, 1868

> Once government-sponsored expeditions to the Yellowstone country began, reports by Colter and Bridger, previously believed to be apocryphal, were found to be true. That led to the creation of Yellowstone National Park, which became the world's first national park in 1872. Nearly all of Yellowstone National Park lies within the far northwestern borders of Wyoming.

> In August 1886, the U.S. Army was given administration of the park

> Democrats and Republicans alike in Wyoming Territory agreed by the late 1880s that it was time their territory became a state. Statehood was attractive to the territory’s businessmen and politicians, as it offered them much more local control over land and water issues

https://www.wyohistory.org/encyclopedia/wyoming-statehood

> Gov. Warren called a special election for Nov. 5, 1889. The Constitution passed overwhelmingly by a vote of 6,272 in favor to 1,903 against. [ this at a time where the total population of the state was around 60,000 ]

>Cheyenne businessman and rancher Francis E. Warren, was appointed to a second stint as territorial governor in 1889, replacing Moonlight. Warren strongly supported statehood. [...] (Territorial governors and other top officials were appointed by the president.

I don't find your view of Wyoming's history persuasive. The territories were created and managed by the US federal government, with every expectation that they would either become states or simply remain US-controlled territory. They were never independent pseudo-states, and if they remained a territory, they had even less control over their own destiny than if they became a state.
superdistribution was superinteresting... but i felt the same as well when reading it... it could only work if everyone agreed at the same time to use the same protocols... and of course legislation... but it was definitely a grand vision and would have been interesting to see the effect on culture and creativity if it had actually panned out

"the cryptographic signatures on the email" <--?

Like, there were TLS headers in an email client on the laptop that were confirmed to be on a server somewhere? Authenticated by a neutral forensics expert?

Or are you saying Hunter Biden using GPG or PGP to encrypt/sign all of his email and the emails were authenticated that way by a neutral forensics expert?

Because my understanding is that Giuliani never actually released the actual data, and that the FBI itself has the laptop.

"confirmed by witnesses?" <-- the guy in the tam o'shanter hat on Fox News this week?

Also, I didn't see any media outlets report that "it was a plant," just reporting that the FBI was investigating the situation.

How did we get into a world where 20 years later with Windows 10 you can't even set a dark title bar color because Windows will say "that color is not supported".

What's worse, early versions of Win10 didn't even let you set the colour of titlebars at all!

https://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-restore-color-to-the-titl...

Presumably it was only put back after massive outrage, which then begs the question of why they even removed the feature in the first place. 8.1, the version immediately before 10, still had the feature. The behaviour of recent (i.e. post-XP or so) MS Windows development teams continues to amaze and puzzle me.
What was wrong with my first comment that you chastised me for?
I disagree. Take Youtube as an example. A ton of mental overhead: videos padded for time, clickbait titles and thumbnails, in video promotions, reminder to check their patreon, reminder to like and subscribe, interruptions for Google ads, etc, . All this adds up and makes you question if the time waste was worth the chance at maybe getting to view some decent content. A system where you are throwing a penny at somebody to unlock a video is preferable.
Standard Oil owning the railways did not stop anyone from buying oil from many of Standard Oil's competitors either.

And yet, Standard Oil put them all out of business somehow.

Your comment fails to address market structure and externalities: Baidu and Yandex are both strategic investments by national players for what are de facto protected industries.

It's futile to compare Baidu and Google on a 'free market basis', ironically, doing so rhetorically will yield for you some understanding of Google's position.

And of course: "Google being popular doesn't stop a competitor from serving the exact same results."

This is false, and if it were true, would undermine your own argument.

DDG/Bing has some good results, but generally not competitive on the whole with G particularly in the long tail - and the tail is very long.

Second - if they did actually have results of 'equal quality' then why would Google own 95% of the market?

Because people just randomly and arbitrarily chose Google over competitors for no reason related to quality?

Or could it be that market structure and distribution (and long-tail quality, which is an insurmountable problem) are impossible to achieve.

Put differently Google is the default option on a lot of platforms, because Google uses it's market power to ensure that.

The analogy would be: "The Supermarket sells one kind of water. It's water. The same as all other water and it's the same price. It's called Google water, it's right there at checkout, you can pick up unlimited quantities" - and if you prompt, and ask about it, you may find out that there are 'other brands' of water available, and yes, it's probably of the same quality, but if you wait a few minutes, the clerk can go into the back and maybe find some'.

Google owns all of the shelf space.

In a close real world analogy - it's for the same reason that you can only get 'Coke' or 'Pepsi' in many situations, and for the same reason there is no '3rd Cola'.

Contemplate the situation with that question: "If DDG etc. produce the same results, why does everyone chose G?" because that will unpack a lot for you.

Home safes are available that are fireproof, waterproof, and very durable. Theft is an issue, though.

A bank safety deposit box is a good backup plan for the home binder.

The benefit of the binder over (or in addition to) the secret manager is it maximizes the chances your family can successfully access your data. I've designated family members as the emergency access contacts for my password manager, but one member completely forgot I even used a password manager, or what it was called. They would never have looked for my data there in an emergency.

When I was in high school in 2004, I would fantasize about getting done with my work early and then catching the teacher on a good day where she let me get on the class computer so I could go to online forums and read more about programming. I sometimes wonder how far I would have been ahead had I had a smartphone in my pocket when I was in school like kids have today.

It doesn't surprise me that some kids capitalize on it instead of just using it to watch Twitch in class.
The article addresses with a chain of events of small concessions that eventually lead to so much splash damage that the public mind is swayed against you.

Forgive me if this is a naive question, but how is this different from Patreon, but dolled out in smaller ad hoc amounts? Is the legal distinction because with Patreon each user chooses the distribution ahead of time? Couldn't this be worked around by creating a white list of publishers you are willing to support that approves some set limit or transaction amount ahead of time? So as an example I whitelist a newspaper, and agree to pay $.005 per article view?

Apple lawfully licensed technology from the Xerox PARC from Xerox. Xerox knew they were licensing the technology, with the likely objective of copying it. That's a substantial difference with respect to what Microsoft did.

Xerox's decision is considered dumb, but they were told exactly what was going to be done. The executives were stupid enough to agree because they did not want to hear about anything other than photocopiers and toners.

Microsoft on the other hand was initially a close Apple partner, developing the Z-80 SoftCard for Apple II and then helping develop applications for the Macintosh. Once they gained enough trust, they used that trust to clone the Macintosh (Windows 1.0).

> ... have been removed from Facebook with no explanation given

At the very least, this should be unacceptable. You shouldn't get banned for something if you aren't told what you did. If it was for use of the word revolutionary, it should say so. Or if they called for some leader's heads, it should say so. Then they could avoid doing the same in the future and we could all agree with or criticize the rationale.

As it is, it's likely similar to "a big neural network said so" which tells the users nothing. Facebook's free to run themselves this way but it's sure dickish. Imagine if the government or your boss made rules that way. "Drivers will be ticketed if our models say so."
> The first big space push was mostly a political pissing match (i.e. not really driven by doing it for its own sake).

My understanding is that the Defense Department was interested in human manned spy satellites liked the planned Manned Orbital Laboratory early on, but that automation progressed to the point where it was preferable.

I think that's one thing people miss when they talk about lack of progress in space. We use space, a lot. The thing is, in terms of things we actually want to do, automated vessels work a lot better than manned ones. People who are focused on manned space missions aren't focused on space, they're advocates for one particular tech stack that's extremely inefficient at doing the things we currently want to do in space.
Agreed except for the cloud part. Buying your own hardware, configuring and maintaining it is a high bar for most people, even technical people.

But we do need distributes systems and we need a lot of competition in the hosting space (it’s not terrible now for lost things if they’re small but big services may have problems).
Which companies are those?
>Whose opinions are those?

the person who has the authority to call the shots and leads the project.

The error is right there in the article:

"After nine months, we have more than 50 pages created. The developers notice that function components are as good as class components and start using them. So, now the project no longer follows the original coding guidelines. It’s more like a personal choice for each developer. And for me, that is OK."

This is where the screw up happens. This is not okay, and as the person responsible for the architecture the author should have made a clear and concise decision and then get everyone to comply with it. You cannot let your developers run wild and then complain a year later when everything is a jumbled mess. Even more opinionated frameworks won't save you because the application is so large it likely would have happened regardless.

>My point is just that none of these do anything radically different from IRC.

This is such an IRC user take. On the same level as not understanding what the point of dropbox is when FTP exists.

The failure of FOSS to understand what users actually want is the reason proprietary platforms took off. Matrix is the first attempt to create something similar to what users use and want.

I thought about writing a list of all the things I use on discord which IRC doesn't support but it would be a waste of time because its almost everything discord does. Even basic sending and receiving messages is close to impossible with irc on mobile unless you use a 3rd party service to translate the protocol in to something mobile friendly.

Right, but why do you need to do station keeping at all. Tracking objects is cheap, and a normal graveyard orbit isn't going to be perturbed so much that it would be notably harder to reach again in any reasonable timeframe.
A high SED rate might accompany many conditions like Parkinsons, cancer, or autoimmune disorders - it's a broad quantifiable test of how severe your inflammation is regardless of cause. When it causes concern, it's typically off the charts. "Normal" SED rate is about 0-15, while an out of control systemic condition can drive it far north of double or triple the high reference point (not just slightly over).

The SED rate doesn't identify its cause, so ANA and CRP can be ordered after a high SED rate (along with tests such as CBC, urinalysis, etc that would indicate other possible causes). CRP and ANA tests are pretty specific to autoimmune diseases.

ANA is most often associated with SLE (lupus). Not all AI diseases have positive ANA screen, and even in SLE once it's in a managed state both SED and ANA titer would ideally be back within spec.

I'd be curious (if you do regular blood work) do you have a SED rate within spec but an ANA titer out of spec? Or "just" a positive ANA screen test?

Talking about specifically boot? Once all other bottlenecks (such as mechanical HDDs or insufficient RAM) are eliminated?

Plug and play. Enumerating buses for hardware, and loading drivers for it all. Starting off in backward-compatible hardware modes (eg. a BIOS using PIO in the case of storage devices) and progressively enabling faster and more complicated modes (e.g. DMA or AHCI as drivers get loaded).

The same mechanisms that allow you to plug in hardware to a desktop and have it “just work” make your computer slower to start up than it could theoretically be. There’s a trade-off between that configurability and startup performance. Embedded systems can start up faster because addresses of its peripherals, resources, accessories etc. are computed ahead of time and hardcoded. It doesn’t have to dynamically rediscover them every time it starts.

Extend the “plug and play” concept to software — modular software packages, frameworks, reusable components, dynamic plugins. That’s why, once the OS is loaded, software is slow to start up.

The configurability/performance trade off is true at every level of computing, even down to the function call - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4667882/is-a-statically-...
Did you read the article? It specifically discusses a mechanism by which hydroxychloroquine might be effective in combination with other medication. So if you want to just insist that HCQ by itself is not very useful, I'd say that's true but largely irrelevant.

Meanwhile ivermectin is being shown to be effective as both prophylaxis and treatment in numerous studies but it's become anathema to consider the possibility of generics, it's "vaccines or bust."

Beating children is illegal for anyone by law already. Removing something spray painted on your walls or deciding what books people get to discuss in your own book club isn't illegal, and neither should it be. I hope you understand the nuance here, and why it makes your analogy flawed.
I'm confused - I thought the reason that it's hard for Intel to add more decoders is because x86 ISA doesn't have fixed length instructions. As a result you can't trivially scale things up.

From that linked article:

--

Why can’t Intel and AMD add more instruction decoders?

This is where we finally see the revenge of RISC, and where the fact that the M1 Firestorm core has an ARM RISC architecture begins to matter.

You see, an x86 instruction can be anywhere from 1–15 bytes long. RISC instructions have fixed length. Every ARM instruction is 4 bytes long. Why is that relevant in this case?

Because splitting up a stream of bytes into instructions to feed into eight different decoders in parallel becomes trivial if every instruction has the same length.

However, on an x86 CPU, the decoders have no clue where the next instruction starts. It has to actually analyze each instruction in order to see how long it is.

The brute force way Intel and AMD deal with this is by simply attempting to decode instructions at every possible starting point. That means x86 chips have to deal with lots of wrong guesses and mistakes which has to be discarded. This creates such a convoluted and complicated decoder stage that it is really hard to add more decoders. But for Apple, it is trivial in comparison to keep adding more.

--

Maybe you and astrange don't consider fixed length instruction guarantees to be necessarily tied to 'RISC' vs. 'CISC', but that's just disputing definitions. It seems to be an important difference that they can't easily address.
Something Adam Curtis has been going on about lately with more emphasis in each production is the assertion that we as a society are so blinded by the illusions we live in that we are incapable of imagining what a better world would look like.

Often conspicuously absent is what such a world ought to be, in his view.

As brilliant as his works are and have been, the longer he keeps asking the same question without providing an answer the more it becomes a well-researched “we live in a society.”
The node size never referred to the actual size of the transistors. Back in the days when CMOS scaling was simple, it referred to the half-pitch, half of the center-to-center distance of the Metal 1 lines. The gate length was roughly the same, usually. But scaling had to be changed starting in roughly 2003 because atoms don't scale; the joke was that transistors were no longer switches, but just dimmers, because leakage was an increasing problem. Designs could no longer be simply scaled, producing a faster clock cycle for free; they had to be revised, and a FinFET looks very different from a traditional FET.

To make further progress designs had to be changed, and things have gotten fuzzier. Processes from different foundries have different densities. Intel's process for a given node is denser than that of the big foundries like TSMC.

See https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/technology_node for more on this.
