1. Because they've privileged Docker Hub throughout all Docker tooling everywhere, and encouraged everybody to treat it as the central community hub of images. It's not just any registry: it's the core registry for the entire ecosystem, and they've very actively worked to ensure that state (rejecting all requests to make the default configurable, or to deprecate implicit registry references, etc).

2. Because the open-source application form excludes the vast majority of open-source projects. E.g. Curl isn't eligible because the founder additionally offers paid support. I imagine Elixir won't be either as the founder profits from it by running an Elixir consultancy (https://dashbit.co/). Docker Inc itself is marketed as an open-source project, but clearly wouldn't be eligible either. There's no revenue limits, no flexibility, just 'no plan towards >$0 revenue ever'. This is not most people's definition of 'open source'.

3. Because although yes it is a lot of traffic, they're trying to charge the community orgs to host images, whilst simultaneously they already charging the end users to pull these images too! They tightened the rate limits in 2020 so that any serious download usage as a client already requires a paid account.

4. Because they've given only 30 days notice before they'll drop all the existing images, with no redirection or migration options at all - just "pay up or we delete everything".

5. Because this will break every existing reference to every deleted image everywhere, and there are _millions_ (because as above, they've encouraged everybody to treat Docker Hub as the core ecosystem registry), from blog posts/documentation/tutorials to CI jobs to deployment definitions, and this is going to be a massive bomb that hits the industry & huge numbers of developers (even their paying customers!) when it lands in 29 days.

If you're a substantial company with 100s of devs, sure, you should be paying for Docker. If you're a 3-person community project publishing open-source images to Docker Hub that these companies are using, making a tiddly income with commercial support, you should not (and in practice, you probably can't).
>I don't want to live in Red Hat's world, with their tooling that they can just lock out of other platforms once they feel like it

Explain please. This sounds like you're accusing RH of sabotaging Docker, or planning to. That's a very serious accusation requiring proof.
A guide to full stack web development in Rust
I have replied at the root but I think you are misunderstanding my complaints.

I completely agree that Docker doesn't own me anything. By the same token, I can express my frustration by them vaguely announcing that many Livebook and Elixir deployment pipelines may be broken _within a month_.

Also, it took several years of _free work_ for Elixir to become profitable (and even then, we invest most of the profits right back into the community). And I consider well within my rights to recognize that their open source grant wouldn't have helped me back then and I doubt it will help others now.

Overall, it is not about the cost. It is just that I would rather take my business elsewhere (paid or free).

Here is a quick exercise: imagine I announce the next Elixir versions will require at least $300/year to use. I bet everyone would be fine with it. The cost of running a business and all that, right?

> HR at one point sent out a series of long emails about a big change upcoming, but they didn't / would not say what the change was, it put a lot of people on edge. Then finally after the 5th or so email they announced that after HR spent thousands of hours in meetings and off site meetings ... they were renaming HR... that was it... it was like a joke, but they were serious. CEO and all the other executives of course had to reply all to congratulate them.

Sounds like something else was planned, and they pulled out last minute.

Or they were trying to spook 5% into leaving -- and did -- so they make some trivial change that means nothing and can be undone later.
T-Mobile is buying Ryan Reynolds’ Mint Mobile for up to $1.35B
I think a relevant question is who is "they" in this case. We've talked endlessly about the US Treasury and the Fed, but CS is based in Switzerland. A country with a long and storied history of banking independence. The US and EU aren't going to stand by and do nothing since our businesses likely have major exposure but one would hope the Swiss would deal with this appropriately.
Also people who want to make a quick buck by selling AI-generated data and marking it as non-AI. Sounds super cheap and high ROI.

No. What users want is using complex apps that are smooth, fast, support native behaviors (anything from screen readers to system shortcuts) etc.

They couldn't care less about the tech behind those apps.

Thinking that users "want to use complex apps on the web" is literally what engineers are thinking.

And especially in the actual context of the thread my original point still stands.

In all fairness, curl is purely a software tool. Docker is arguably more like a service. As such, it creates costs for and direct dependency on the entity behind it.

It's probably wiser to just keep the bare minimum at a bank (two months of payroll and a/p stuff), and the rest in a money market fund that buys US treasuries.

Mitigating path traversal vulns in Java with Snyk Code
I'm a real person, and I'm deeply concerned by a) the way Chrome is trying to become the de-facto "standard" for web apps and bully or dare the other major browsers into following suit or being seen as "out of date", and b) the level of access Chrome is trying to give to itself and web apps running in it. Google is already very clearly exercising its market dominance in search and other areas to try to gain ever more of our attention and data.

I'm insufficiently informed about the differences between File System Access API and Origin Private File Access to have an opinion on which of those I think is a better choice, but please remember that Your Experiences Are Not Universal.
Well we know what it's doing now, it tries to detect controversial questions and refuses to answer. (For example, the other replies to your comment where it's revealed that it will happily write a poem praising Biden or even Trump, but not Hitler.)

There have been some humourous approaches to confusing this system where people have successfully teased out some taboo answers from the AI. (For example, rather than directly attacking the Holocaust narrative, people have asked how long it takes to cremate a body, how many people were cremated at Auschwitz, how many ovens were available at Auschwitz crematorium, how long it would take to completely cremate x million bodies with x ovens...oops!)
One could think of the outflows as natural. Fed policy was draining liquidity from the system, through QT and interest rate increases. In startup world, fundraising slowed and startups were burning through capital vis-à-vis bank withdraws.

Rancher Desktop has been just fine for me.
It's kinda the same for me, our product solved a problem that was not enough annoying to people for them to consider buying it, so we never had the product market fit, and never managed to sell a single license. The company still exists today, but it's mainly surviving with us doing freelance work and hoping one of our side project might generate some revenue.

Maybe as open-source, the product could have some success, but I don't know how to "sell" open-source or make a revenue from it.
The question is, what would it take for a bank to be allowed to fail? The FDIC insurance line of $250k must've meant something.
At the very least the rules around this need to be clarified, I can understand them not wanting to host pseudo open source "open core" or interfaces to proprietary SaaS for free. If that includes any service though (like their own hosting, or as you say, consulting), it seems somewhat ridiculous.

> which says to me, that the export bans is a failure in policy then.

That's going too far. It's almost like saying "don't fight a battle that won't immediately win you the war." It's important not to overstate their effectiveness (an export ban won't hit some Achilles heel that grind their military to a halt), but that doesn't mean the short term effects aren't valuable and the right thing to do. These bans are delaying tactics, they'll make things harder but not impossible for Russia and China to do certain things, and they might have to make unwanted compromises (e.g. force short-term supply chain issues and redesigning using a less robust common civilian grade chip they can get on the grey market rather than the harder-to-get specialized chip they want).

Basically, don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
The point of company perks is to convince people to forgo more salary than the perks costs the company. On-site baristas are cheap, but they seem really expensive. In the end it’s a subsidized company cafeteria which has been a thing for the last 100 years or so.

The amount people care about free snacks is vastly out of proportion with the actual cost of providing free snacks. That’s great because young people making ~200k don’t really care much about slightly more gold plated health insurance coverage relative to how expensive it is.
> Short term treasuries were nearing a 5.1% yield as of early last week, and now are below 5% due to demand.

How short term are we talking about?
Banks are supposed to take duration risk like this - they borrow short-term (deposits) to lend long-term (business loans and mortgages). The thing that's new in the current environment is that the fed has hiked rates so aggressively that even banks that took sane levels of duration risk are in danger of insolvency if their assets get marked to market.

It should have been just a small company, doing this, and making some money for their trouble instead of whatever it is they're trying to be.
>> time to do so, thats the definition of being illiquid, not insolvent.

i said time is about liquidity, not solvency. i never said gaining money in the future makes you solvent in the past.
It is a a bailout, this time a bailout of unsecured investors of the bank that were holding deposits at the bank rather than shareholders. And yes though the line is being drawn today with investors vs. depositors, depositors are actually a form of unsecured investor.

As to why it doesn't introduce more risk, it very well could. So far they have either slowed down a train wreck or prevented one. Bank issues in the last week have seemed more tied to depositors getting spooked and withdrawing or transferring money, the real question is whether other banks are so full of unrealized losses that the shift from a market depositing $5T in newly printed money to an economy spending more than it earns will break the banks.
Corporate consolidation has been going strong since the late 90s/early 2000s, at least in my lifetime I saw the dwindling number of actual independent companies, the vast majority of big companies I was a customer during my lifetime have coalesced into some large conglomerate-ish... And in multiple countries, it really feels it's happening everywhere, even though seems more prominent in the USA.
Lineker-BBC case: insights on a healthy society
I believe that is exactly what they are saying.
Not to speak for OP, but I think the point is obvious. Silicon Valley culture is liberal to progressive, not libertarian. That means more government intervention is the norm in the industry, not less. Thiel is more of an exception in that regard.

The entire premise that Silicon Valley has a libertarian culture is flawed, which is they the article can't back it up.

> In my view web browsers are a more secure and privacy-preserving option than that.

Indeed. That's precisely why some browser vendors don't want to give random access to your computer to any and all website. And don't want to give every app and site access to the data that should be private to a particular web site.

From this point of view sandboxing websites seems like a good compromise.

It's also strange that the argument I keep hearing is "but apps have unrestricted access, so to preserve security and privacy... let's give web sites the same access as native apps". It doesn't work lime this.
No worries - it was interesting to learn how much AP stories shared under the same URL can mutate. It was illuminating to look at the archive.org record of this URL, which changed 13 times yesterday over the course of 12 hours, but with the same author credited.

Its a difficult job, but it gets me by
Matt Levine's Money Stuff talked about this yesterday. I'll post a couple of the relevant paragraphs.

> The regulators’ response to SVB — guaranteeing all depositors, but also the Fed’s Bank Term Funding Program to finance other banks’ bond portfolios at par[7] — increases the value of other banks’ optionality, which encourages them to take more risk, because their deposits are safer. (I suppose this is the real moral hazard concern.) And so there should be more regulatory and supervisory changes to tamp down the other banks’ risks.

> [...]

> [T]he post-SVB actions have made bank deposits a lot safer, which is a nice windfall for the shareholders of every other regional bank that has a lot of losses on held-to-maturity securities. And so in exchange for that windfall the regulators should regulate those banks much more strictly, which will make them actually safer (and reduce the government’s exposure to their risks), but will also reduce their profitability.
This is a point against your argument, not in its favour.

The percentages of users who use or don't use specific features, in isolation, cannot be effectively used to determine those users' opinions on the relative merits of those features. There are so many other factors at play that you really need to do some kind of explicit survey to determine whether, just as a for instance, some of those 65% would prefer a different way of saving files but don't have the choice (or think they don't), and, conversely, whether some of those 35% would be happy to use that feature, but don't know about it.
Of course no! Only people that can't afford ChatGPT will be out of luck.
Ooo, I'll have to look into that. I had a fun couple of days a few years ago comparing Google Maps satellite images from St Clair County, MI with the old maps which showed where the Interurban ran. It was really impressive how much you could still see the routes from above, even though the tracks were torn up 80+ years ago...
Backstopping banks is the Fed’s job, yes. But I’m not sure why the owners of insolvent banks that need backstopping get to keep their equity. That’s called a bailout.
Lots of people work like dogs and it seems to have no strong correlation with their pay. It's never been about "deserving", it's just supply and demand.

It seems like another symptom of zirp/cheap money.

Lots of ideas that could have been a neat feature or tool somehow ended up raising $500M of funding with no viable plan on ever monetizing.

The fact that the product is successful but after a decade they barely make $50M/year of revenue against $500M of lifetime funding is crazy. As a user, you can work at a company with a billion in revenue and barely owe them a few thousand/year. Or you might just use Podman for free, and prefer it due some of the design differences.

At the very least, a lot of these firms, with VC pressure, overstayed their welcome as private enterprises and should have sold themselves to a larger firm.
