I would recommend simply having a very generalised discussion on your infra from a birds eye view and see if they can provide some inferences, add/ suggest any customised test/ use cases, share previous experience in similar infrastructure/ industry. Intent is not to assess them technically, afterall their biggest strength is that they are jack of all traits and master of something that might not even exist in your infrastructure. Their shared experience can help identify issues that you may not even consider since it was out of your work domain.

For example, my infra+hardware guy reported mousejack vulnerability as an extra observation during 2.4 Ghz spectrum security assessment. The core scope was wifi spectrum, but since he had an understanding of devices operating in that spectrum, he was able to compromise vulnerable wireless mice (logitech ones) at a client which operated in the same spectrum. Most OSWP guys don’t even know about it, you can have my word on it.
Based on Future ARM Neoverse, so basically nothing much to see here from CPU perspective, What really stands out, are those ridiculous number from its Memory system and Interconnect.

CPU: LPDDR5X with ECC Memory at 500+GB/s Memory Bandwidth. ( Something Apple may dip into. R.I.P for Mac with upgradable Memory )

GPU: HBM2e at 2000 GB/s. Yes, three zeros, this is not a typo.

NVLink: 500GB/s

This will surely further solidify CUDA dominance. Not entirely sure how Intel's XE with OneAPI and AMD's ROCm is going to compete.
Currently, there are no plans for consumer-grade CPUs. Even this new CPU class is shipping in 2023.
Thank you for clarifying. I can see your reasoning now, taking a more practical approach, let me try to restate: by taking such an idealogical stance, the FSF lost what was a large base that existed for them previously? I understand that, but think there are lots of idealogical reasons why that kind of argument doesn't hold much sway with entities like the FSF and FOSS proponents. v2 had some very obvious issues, and v3 was intended to plug those holes. I would be interested in hearing not about v2, but in what kind of modifications to v3 you think could have still accomplished the idealogical mission while preventing the pragmatic loss?

"My claim is that the specific thing the GPLv3 tried to save us from hasn't been the priority it was made out to be, and in the process it just made free software worse. I am totally open to a counterargument - is there a device you have where a) it does run some GPL (any version) code and b) there is some meaningful change you could make to the code it runs?"

I would like to say that v3 addressed much more than just tivoization. Lets not overfocus on just that one point.

While I gather you are looking to get a response about IoT devices, I am a heavy proponent of gpl, and v3 specifically, and have worked for years to make almost my entire daily stack gpl. I don't have a apple-tv or a chromecast, nor even a smart tv. I have a linux box dedicated to my dumb tv. Tons of gplv3 on it I can modify at any time.

Now practically, on much bigger projects, I tend not to modify anything, but I have found that on smaller projects/repos I find I am much more willing and able to make a few modifications here and there, and have, mostly because by sticking to the do one thing well principle, I can then chain together tools in ways I want.

"I can see a limited use case for things like smart TVs to just sort of prevent them from communicating with the network at all, but a firewall can do that just fine"

This is a great example, because TV's being user hostile means that a firewall doesn't actually mean that much. For example, there are smart tv's found to connect to any random open wifi to transmit their user data... completely outside the owners knowledge (or firewall). Being able to actually control the devices you own is a key factor, and no amount of "well the user could or should do this" neverending arms-race fixes that, but fixing the fact that I cant root a smart tv would.

> One can't deny, sadly, that a software freedom geek with consistency and integrity as applied to that philosophy and insight therein of RMS's caliber doesn't yet exist.

I can name at least 10 people that I find more suitable than RMS, including: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karen_Sandler https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bradley_M._Kuhn https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bdale_Garbee
But agnostic to this specific situation, you would acknowledge that there could be a situation in which the people kept away are morally confused to the point in which it's actually better to do without them from a moral (and long-term business) perspective.

"Having a CEO in favor of Data Privacy/Product Safety/Responsible Bank Lending will lead to thousands of potential employees avoiding our company!"

I'm sure you'll disagree with the particulars on the FSF case, but I'm just saying popularity is not the slam-dunk you're implying.
> This sounds like RMS almost torpedoed his own board seat by announcing it on his own.

> bringing RMS was the right decision

The idea that he has such severe problems with social interactions that he almost torpedoed his chance at getting back his board seat suggests that he is not, in fact, the right person to be leading a large organization.

I get the hacker ethos that this is "his" organization but if the guy can't even hold it together for a week without nearly blowing it, he's not going to be an effective advocate for his views and isn't the right person to lead a large organization.

Long-term the organization needs to move past him anyway: he's 70, if the movement can't survive without him then it'd better figure out how that's going to work damned quickly because statistically they don't have that many more years.
There are more hosting providers today than in the era you are talking about. AWS has a "monopoly" simply because large companies are using it, and back in the day those companies would have run their own datacenters not used a shared PHP host. For a personal site or startup you have a thousand other options.
> Do you think he is such a phenomenal genius that keeping him is worth ten good people quitting or not joining in the first place?

There are no numbers here, so this is literally impossible to debate. You can say X, I can say Y, and it's all completely subjective.

I personally don't think that he's driving away people like people claim. RMS is involved with the gnu project, fsf, and free software (now renamed open source), but those projects are each far bigger than he is.

> What if he's not so brilliant after all and you're allowing one "genius" to cost you equivalent or even superior "geniuses" with less abrasive personalities?

Again, this is impossible to debate in good faith. There are infinite hypothetical alternate realities, what good does it do for any of us to muse over them? Maybe a "super genius" exists and is being held back by RMS' continued existence. Maybe not.

The real question is why the board continued to increase executive compensation to such staggering ratios.... until you realize that boards are made up of networks of other executives, and there is a large "upward current" to reward one another and thereby boost ones own salary.

But your question is really inane. It's not about the individual choice to accept compensation, it's about a system for corporate advancement that creates such pressure for outsized wages at the top.

Wikidata, SPARQL, and RDF in general. And I guess semi-relatedly things like Prolog?

I couldn't agree more. I know a lot of this kind of "semantic web" stuff has some pretty vocal detractors and that adoption seems limited, but I still think there is a ton of "meat on this bone". There's just too much potential awesomeness here for this stuff to not be used. I think this is an example of where incremental refinement is the name of the game. As computers get faster, as we get more data, as algorithms improve, etc. we'll get closer and closer to the tipping point where these technologies really start to reveal their potential.

I don't see how it would make any sense whatsoever for Flutter to be "absorbed" by Android, it is entirely independent.

Also, I'd be curious to hear what major advantages Kotlin would have for Flutter. The Flutter team has commented heavily on Dart's useful properties for Flutter's goals (small comment here, there are well written full articles as well: flutter.dev/docs/resources/faq#why-did-flutter-choose-to-use-dart).

The internal investment in Flutter is well beyond the average tech project at Google. I don't expect it to be abandoned any time soon.

Both of those are good and reasonable rules to describe the world, and something that is very intuitive. That is why a lot of people find government inflation stats suspect - even if they are measured correctly!
A lot of people seem to think this is bad because it looks like colonialism. I think that’s a bad take. Indeed there’s an evil history of western exploitation of Africans. That consists of territorial conquest, slavery, stripping of natural resources.

Every country that managed to get out of poverty did it by moving up the value chain from subsistence farming to eg. textile manufacturing to eg. electronics.

Here, Twitter is hiring knowledge workers and paying them a good wage. They aren’t enslaving anyone. Ghana is growing a middle class, entering the tech industry, and will be able to enjoy a bigger share of the wealth created in the global economy. It’s great news.

Do we think that the amount of leverage a CEO has over the operations and output of a company has increased or decreased since 1989, as a result of tech?

This is nonsense. Bitcoin has not had much utility since 2015 when the repo was taken over by people who refused to increase the block capacity.

A purchase of bitcoin by the govt would massively increase the prices. Transaction of value by the big players would become even easier. The high degree of divisibility would ensure that small players could still play. There would be no more liquidity issue than there is currently.
Nice idea!

It would be awesome to link with Apple Health, since it already aggregates a lot of personal information.

People should read how the Forbes 400 list got started. It was extremely difficult to get off the ground. It's hard to know who has the most wealth -- it isn't public information, after all. Those who become wealthy via public markets have their ownership disclosed, so we can place a minimum value on their assets, and as a proxy, their total net worth.

The changes to the list over the decades could be more a function of wealth disclosure, which are mandated by the regulatory requirements of equity markets (e.g., we can all look up Zuckerberg's percentage ownership of Facebook).
PM lead for PowerShell here, thanks for the callout! I'll take "isn't the worst". ;)

I'd love to get more of your thoughts around how PowerShell might be more useful for the kinds of scenarios you're thinking about. We see a lot of folks writing portable CI/CD build/test/deploy scripts for cross-platform apps (or to support cross-platform development), but we're always looking to lower the barrier of entry to get into PowerShell, as it can be quite jarring to someone who's used Bash their whole life (myself included).

Structured shells have so much potential outside of that, though. I find myself using PowerShell to "explore" REST APIs, and then it's easy to translate that into something scripted and portable. But I'd love to get to a place one day where we could treat arbitrary datasets like that, sort of like a generalized SQL/JSON/whatever REPL.

> His moral positions have done incredible damage to GCC at a technical level, and lost huge amounts of marketshare to LLVM as a direct result.

> They are intertwined

But which has priority?

The main issue with this topic is that it's sometimes hard to see things from an angle we're so unaccustomed to.

The FSF and the GNU project are accidentally technical, morally-driven organizations. Technical superiority is never the argument for Free Software. You may be thinking about Open Source and mixing them up.

Try to see it from that point of view: if an organization exists to prevent "some evil" from happening and make it as easily as possible for "good people" to not commit and not be subjected to "that evil", it makes sense that the organization will sacrifice things that don't seem to make sense because they are avoiding as strongly as they can to make "some evil" easier to commit.

The goal is not market share; the goal is not technical superiority; the goal is not profit; the goal is to "not be evil", help others "not be evil" and not make it easier than it ever needs to be to "be evil".

Look at the "about" pages in the FSF & Gnu project websites and you will notice that it is not a bad choice for them to avoid doing some things "for market share" or "to remain competitive" when those clash with creating free software, making it easier to create free software, and make sure (within the realm of possibility) that their work cannot be used to facilitate the building of non-free software.

From the FSF's point of view loss of market share is an acceptable loss, if the alternative is "be evil". That is why, odd as it may seem, the FSF needs someone who does not compromise on that.

This is simply false. Dart/Flutter is very actively being used at Google by dozens of teams.
What ES wants of course is for Amazon to give them a cut of revenue from hosting ES.

We already know Amazon isn't interested in doing that (either at all, or at whatever price ES wanted, we don't know that).

They had no legal requirement to when ES was open source. So ES changed the licensing to no longer be open source.

So, Amazon could... a) decide to give ES a cut after all, b) decide to stop hosting ES, or c) fork the last open source version.

I don't think anyone is surprised they chose c? Presumably ES isn't either? Maybe ES thinks this will be good for them/bad for Amazon anyway, because they are hoping potential customers will abandon the Amazon fork and stay on the original ES fork?

Not sure why they'd be confident in that exactly. Maybe they know what they're doing.

As users/customers, we would rather have a choice of hosted vendors/platforms, and that it remain un-forked (so we can use/write software compatible with either vendor/platform). Competition is good for us as users/customers, that's in fact one of the reasons we choose open source, so no one vendor can set the hosting price all on their own without competition. We want to be able to choose among competitors for hosting, based on price, customer service, performance, uptime, whatever.

But ES didn't want that, they didn't want hosting competition to exist -- at least not without permission and agreed upon cut for them -- because, I guess, hosting was how they planned to make money as a company to fund development as well as profits for investors etc. So they changed their license to no longer allow it. So of the possible outcomes remaining... this one seems as good as any for the user/customer, I guess?

So, when you say "I'm doing my part by not building anything with vendor lock-in" -- I'm not sure which course you are suggesting. In fact, between ElasticSearch and new OpenSearch fork.. it's OpenSearch that is the one without vendor lock-in, right? OpenSearch is Apache licensed, and can be hosted by any vendor and still forked by anyone . It's ElasticSearch that has a license limiting what vendors can host it (without permission of ES), it's the one with vendor lock-in, right? So not building anything with vendor lock-in means... ?
can you recommend any other resources for easily getting the hang of SPARQL?

I'll second the recommendation of Jena (and associated sub-project Fuseki). If you know Java (or any JVM language) you can use the Jena API directly for manipulating the triplestore, and submitting SPARQL queries. If you don't want to do that, Fuseki exposes an HTTP based API that you can interact with from any environment you prefer.
