How exactly do you think Australia is going to enforce this mandate if Google has no presence in Australia. Are they going to have the military invade California?
Doubt it ever will, as DDG/<insert any other search engine here> would be forced to pay up and comply with this ridiculous legislation. Easier to just not bother with a country as small as Australia.
They cheated. And in several elections. Hats off.

I know they did because the motive was there and the cost too great. I have faith in all men to make the same decisions when the time comes.

Clearly there was cheating on both sides.
If you believe that just because you can exploit a license doesn’t mean you should, do you believe Elastic have wronged ElasticSearch and Lucene’s contributors by not compensating them(other than those that are employees)?

I don’t understand the argument that a company should get to “own” all the profits for a particular FOSS project.

I get it, that's its the Post. But there are a lot of things going against the major outlets in this debate: a.) It's a federal case so except for identities, most of the damning information against Twitter is out there b.) Major outlets such as NYT like to brag about the size of their newsrooms, but don't seem to have the resources to cover stories of CP on Twitter and the lackadaisical attitude of its censors c.) Major outlets should not take days to investigate something like this and write it up, especially if all the content matter is out there. Else obviously openly biased outlets with an axe to grind, such as the Post will pick it up, obviously reducing the credibility of stories they output.

How can people honestly think that big innovations will come out of the Amazon’s Elastic fork?
There is not fundamental technical reasons for that fork.
Call me hippie, but a project is all about love and dedication. And I hardly think Amazon is that much in love with the Elastic codebase and roadmap.
Time will tell...
No, you want to dismiss evidence that was filed in a court as "just some screenshots".
> We are a representative democracy

And the argument is that this democracy isn't sufficiently "representative", since it doesn't represent everyone equally. Indeed that's an explicit non-goal.

> You can't change the rules of the game because you're losing.

But you can agree that the rules of the game are rigged against one side. You don't get to deny that just because you're winning.
> AWS knows that if they take too much of ES' market that they won't survive. If they don't survive it will just be a matter of time before ES is dropped by Amazon and totally unsupported.

Or Amazon (or a third party) may take over maintenance of ES if it's worth it to them. That's the whole point of open source.

> You can frame this question in terms of ethics, you can frame it in terms of licensing naivety, you can frame it in whatever way you want but Amazon is doing what it always has done: exploiting smaller businesses in its goal to become a conglomerate.

There's no exploitation here. ES are grownups and responsible for their own business decisions. Amazon is outcompeting them by providing a better service to their clients.

> Edit: a lot of people talking about the license forget that there's an entire spirit to open source. The permissiveness of open source was one thought to be "we can all succeed together" and what people get upset about is the fact that this obviously violates that spirit. The businesses set up to back companies like Elastic Search were setup to sustain the project while continuing to empower it's creators to take their vision further. If Amazon takes the pie, that doesn't happen. At best, the creators are now Amazon employees and have to follow their desires. Just because you can exploit a license, doesn't mean you should.

The whole point of "open source" as distinct from "free software" was to get away from all the ideological baggage and focus on pragmatic licensing that would appeal to businesses. Guess what: it worked.
The left is winning. I lean left on a lot of issues. I have no issue with this. I also believe that they cheated. I don't need evidence. Their motive was highly incentivized. The cost too great. The dems definitely cheated. That's what I believe. But so did the other side.
Discomfort Has No Role in Decision Making
Exactly. Depart Australia entirely, serve Australians from a foreign IP address, still charge Australian businesses for ads & G-Suite but in USD (comparable rates using card conversion) further devaluing the Australian dollar.
Automate Chess
> Australia won't dare set up national firewalls

I wouldn't be so sure about that. Australian govt is pretty open to implementing draconian laws. We've already got mandatory ISP metadata retention; we don't have a bill of rights like USA, we're basically a cryptotheocracy with the head of the Anglican Church as our head of state.
It's laughable how preferentially they try to enforce GDPR on the US vs. other countries.

For example, Tencent has a lot of WeChat users in the EU but the EU haven't done a thing about their gross privacy violations that don't align with GDPR. Or Xiaomi Roborock vacuum cleaners, which are sold in Germany, France, Italy, and Spain, but send Wi-Fi SSIDs, passwords, GPS, and floor maps back to their server with no option to disable that behavior and no option to request deletion of user data.

They mostly target Silicon Valley companies and don't seem to particularly care if other countries' companies violate GDPR.
Yes it was designed for this purpose. That's what I'm saying.

So big states couldn't bully around small ones.
There are a couple of these. Here's one for ECOVACS:

The TailwindUI components are great but quite expensive, this is a great alternative for solo-founders bootstrapping on a shoe-string budget.
Cloud platforms like AWS, Azure and GCP, are now the de-facto operating systems for web apps and services. Section 230 also provides them immunity from the content that gets hosted in those platforms. I find it unfortunate that we are in this situation where the platform providers are also playing the police. They should stick to being a platform and policing side of this should be left to the law enforcement.

What will we feel if Microsoft and Apple start deciding what kind of contents can be generated and saved in their operating systems? It feels like time is ripe for a cloud provider that simply provides a platform.
Ricin is easily screened for. Novichok not so much until recently. Who knows how many people they had poisoned we don’t know about. Bellingcat research suggests that a lot. Polonium wouldn’t have been detected if not for some radiology expert who accidentally listened in on some side conversation
And yet many companies are competing just fine. Elastic's biggest growth comes from cloud services, which matches every other database vendor from MongoDB to Redis. [1].

AWS just proved that the market wants to buy solutions, not software. There are tons of customers and environments where a dedicated vendor can offer something far better than the lowest-common-denominator that AWS provides.

If you want another success story, just look at how Snowflake built a better Redshift on AWS (quite literally).

> Having used instacart (through Costco) and walmart grocery delivery almost exclusively for the past 10 months.. I'm more amazed at how cheap it is, and I'm a bit worried that employees are not getting paid enough.

Are you really? What have you tried to modify this as a result?

Many gig workers have their tips taken away or obscured in some cases, as in the lawsuit settled by Doodash recently, which is most of their total income from these things: the algo sets the base salary as close as the lower minima for it to get picked up.

Have you ever considered just paying them more outright: as in leave an envelope at your door with the sum of money you think they're worth? Or simply asking them to contact you directly to be their personal shoppers if things were done to your satisfaction? I saw the former more often, with token sums like $5/10 by some well intentioned people but really the latter would be the more impactful solution and had been done prior to this for the affluent/exec class long ago.

Just so it's clear, the markup on those apps isn't going to the contractor's pay, its their to generate revenue for the core business to pump its valuation with fluff and prove its MVP has the potential to reach profitability... someday in the undetermined future. The gig worker gets as little as the market will bare most times, the app is optimized that way, and often has to be 'stacked' to make it even worth their time or will remain bouncing around in the limbo if no one picks it up.

I spent a lot of time looking at Doordash's business model during the pandemic while I went back to school or supply chain management after having done supply chain and logistics in the Auto Industry. I even did it myself to understand it's implications as a 3PL supply chain solution ahead of its IPO last year and it was super eye opening.

These things are horrible and are specifically targeted to the ever growing under underclass of Society. I'd say its borderline predatory given how much they gameify it in their favour.

> I'm honestly not sure I'm going to go back to the stores as often even when things are normal.

And quite frankly these apps/platforms are relying on you doing exactly that to justify its business model and will operate at a loss to do so in order for a massive IPO valuation and more VC money.

It's really quite sick, but it seems almost inevitable at this point given how many businesses have been shut down during this pandemic.

If I had the time and resources I would really want to do a talk at the Chaos Computer Club on it, as I think it really needs to be exposed for what it is amongst the Technorati who help built this monstrosity. I saw a Software guy who wanted to get the analytics on rejected offers from various regions with an app that tracked the acceptance ratios and other metrics, so the data exists out there somewhere.
Having a partner for your side project helps a lot, in the same way having a gym buddy helps with working out. I generally need my projects to be rewarding unto themselves, that is, the act of working on them should be fulfilling. If the end goal is the only motivation, it is really easy to lose interest during the long slog and do something else.

The other big thing is separating work time from the rest of my life. I have a set routine. I start and end at basically the same times every day.

Finally, I keep track of todo items for my project. When I am not feeling motivated, it is a lot easier to say I’ll do this one small todo task here or that one task there, which makes things manageable.

> I think the bigger risk is in the self driving component.

What self driving component? TFA is about batteries.

If you mean, self driving is a bigger competitive advantage, and that's a bigger risk to Toyota/Japan Inc... well, no.

Tesla sold 0.5M vehicles last year and is having trouble scaling up. The total addressable market is over 100M vehicles per year, and self driving isn't going to be a factor in most people's purchase decisions for at least a decade. (More cars are sold in Asia than in the USA.)

> I imagine accidents per km will become a huge purchase decision when self driving is more commonplace.

Accidents are reduced by advanced vehicle safety systems: "self stopping", not self driving. Those systems can be fitted--even retrofitted--to any vehicle. [Edit: and they are being fitted to more and more vehicles.] This is one of the most sad and tired arguments for self driving.
I buy the concern. It's just not dispositive of the issue.

Yes. Point is the company with a good sales force gets more value out of your work and can pay you more. Not 1000 times more, but 5x sounds possible.

Google for example makes about 7-figures per employee. That’s a loooot of room to negotiate.
I know that it's the Post. My point is that if the Post was able to cover it, why couldn't a bigger outlet such as NYT or the BBC spare the resources to cover it too.

Not to mention, the Hunter Biden story was mostly speculative without proof. This one is a federal case with all details out in the open.
It's a realistic attitude. Doctors want to make SWE salaries too.
> The paradox of tolerance applies here: You can't extend tolerance to those who advocate for intolerance without destroying tolerance in the process.

I don't understand how this is a paradox. You can't extend tolerance to people who commit arson and murder, or e.g. refuse to hire black people because they're black.

You can let people say whatever they want, because then you can refute their arguments and refuse to implement their proposals.

Yea, Google needs to be reigned in, but not like this, not with corrupt legislation handing free money to old established news organisations in an attempt to keep them afloat.

You do realise other search engines will likely have to comply (or leave the country) too, right?

Yes, that'd be the call in question; it requires cross-platform vt100 apps to specifically know about and call a feature on windows in order to enable it. They can't just emit control characters to terminal, they must call this WinRT function first. This isn't something you can fix, for the reasons you listed, but it's something that's true.

As a side note, Windows Terminal (the app) is absolutely fine letting programs emit and handle VT100 escapes without them issuing any particular opt-in call themselves... And upon looking, you're the person who enabled this feature! Thanks for that, but, why is it good for terminal but bad for conhost?

Tesla's mission has always been to bring EVs to as many people and major markets as possible.

"Expand the electric vehicle product line to address all major segments"

https://www.tesla.com/blog/master-plan-part-deux

“It was always our goal to try to make an affordable electric car,” said Musk, referring back to his 2006 Tesla Motors Master Plan.

If the population of a State wants to leave the Union and the Union forcibly prevents them from doing so, then the United States is no different than the Romans, or the British, or the Soviets. They all had their own state documents which declared secession illegal, of course, so perhaps you're comfortable in that company.

>Statehood is eternal.

Is that you, Louis XIV? Spinning yarns about the divine right to rule?

>Secession is quite literally treason...

Says the nation born of treason.

>..and the Civil War was in that sense constitutionally mandatory.

Any institution which is willing and able to kill a million men solely for the purpose of its own preservation is a menace. But as long as it was constitutionally necessary, I guess we're good?
This is spin. Toyota is very late to EV’s having bet a lot on Hydrogen. As you will see this “next-gen” battery will be in development for at least another 5 years and probably much longer before the $/kwh is at parity with lithium ion.

Thats also comparing against todays Lithium Ion batteries forget about any advancements happening in the next several years.
Brave is one of my favorite new software of 2020. I love how fast it loads web pages and removes ads. More importantly it’s a huge step forward in terms of fixing web.

there are 2 distinct issues here

(1) Ethical and (2) Tort.

Ethical is the question of good corporate practice to do what's right to your partner. As a key executive of a company, I am expected to call any CEO and say - you know what CEO Joe, that contract we signed 2 weeks ago, we goofed. Can we please re-cut ? And because Joe is interested in a mutually beneficial relationship that lasts a long time, that's what usually happens.

Enter the FAANGS.

Clearly, it was Elastic's mistake to operate on a open license that lends to FAANGS literally imploding Elastic market share. Elastic mistake, OK . However, it is not ethical for a FAANG to profit off errors, just as it is not ethical for a Bank to charge overdraft fees over overdraft fees from a grandma. They can, but they really shouldn't. What is legal is not ethical.

In the middle east it is legal to stone a female adulterer to death. That's not OK.

2) Tort. It will be argued in court that AWS misappropriated the Elastic TM. That's where AWS is going to pay. AWS clearly stepped over the line.

It is just a question of how costly that mistake was.
I'll also endorse the Moto G series of which I've had the G1 (Sep '14), the G4 (Oct '16) and am now using the "Motorola One" (Jan '19) which is/was in almost the exact price bracket (200-230€) and they were/are all really good phones. Very good battery life, quite fast and long-lived. Makes it even less understandable in my mind how so many people all over the world think they absolutely have to have the newest and most expensive Apple thing every year or few months, spending multiples each year on phones/tablets of what I spend every few years (in the past the phone was either defective or gotten so slow daily use was like trying to walk through mud).

The G1 and the G4 after 2+ years of use and a whole bunch of updates (multiple! major Android versions) got really slow and one of them I dropped so the display had a crack horizontally right across the middle, it still worked for MONTHS like that until I decided to get a new phone.

All in all, reasonable price for a good long-lived product without all the clutter some phone suppliers bog down their Android versions with, i.e. nearly stock Android with some minor unintrusive additions (from what I can see in my apps list right now: an equalizer app with different automatically activated profiles, an optional Motorola product newsletter app and a diagnostics app to help with troubleshooting and hardware tests).
But its a question not of how much value the employee generates, but how rare is that employees work that they deserve to be compensated highly. i.e, could you get someone of the same ability for less.

Consider the reality shows The Voice, America's Got Talent, game shows etc., that generate millions of dollars of revenue for the studios. But the people who are performing the acts, aren't compensated highly (unless they "win").

Frankly I think that many of these highly paid SWEs are really not worth what they are paid, and that many people could be doing their jobs.

I think this is part of the reason of my struggles in the job market since being laid off in June. There has become an obsession that if you're not in the "top 1% of SDEs", you are in essence, worthless and shouldn't be hired.
