with delusions of grandeur. Maybe if they waited for the technology to be commoditized they wouldn't be burning cash as badly as if they fed it to a bonfire heating their offices.
Entertainment used to be something people did when they had a few minutes between working and regular household activities. For many people, consuming entertainment seems to be their primary activity, and everything else they do, revolves around that.
You're probably about 70-years late on that hot take. Television has been common for a long ass time.
Am I alone in feeling that open source vendor clouds feel somewhat contrary to open source? I can't express why, so perhaps its simply a no odder than the pro versions with additional features
While Mongo's hosted solution has the rather obvious problem that they don't have the scale to compete with cloud vendors. I suspect that most of the value they could offer for paid support on top of an AWS provided DB seems minimal - the common deployment and hardware scaling issues should be opaque really leaving only query and data structure which is high touch.
If they aren't already I imagine RedHat, Canonical, etc. are also feeling the squeeze. If a big source of their business was supporting users with on-premise servers moving to the cloud nips that.
I work for a significantly smaller OSS company, our situation is somewhat different as its a niche product which doesn't seem as likely to be affected by Amazon, etc.
For GCC don't vendors (Intel, AMD, ARM) commonly contribute? Depending on how key their contributions are to GCC one might be able to make the argument that selling CPUs is the money maker.
Are you obtuse? You made the claim that it reduces developer freedom, except it doesn't because the developer was free to choose any license they desired.
If Cook used insider knowledge from Apple (publicly traded, not closely held) to buy other companies, that is already covered by laws. That is that, and this is this.
Companies not publicly traded are still held to various investment laws, they just don't need public filings.
He knows how much he can get away with increasing rent. He's also using access to internal secrets & research of WeWork about how they choose locations, building size, timing, etc. in order to benefit himself.
Try another scenario - what if Tim Cook were to use his knowledge about Apple's supply chain to purchase companies before Apple signed supply contracts with them?
I think Microsoft likes to call it free support because it makes them look good for helping people - in reality it was defined as part of the contract when they sold the software.
If it worked, its not automated. If it didn't work, maybe its automated. Automating is still only works well on fixed function tasks and humans are fallible.
The dumber part is that MongoDB was previously licensed as AGPL, which means that Amazon is likely not using any source they simply made a compatible product.
Why? To me using a general purpose computer is much more likely to have been compromised given the permission model. I think the ideal solution would be a dedicated ChromeOS system but patched iOS or Android devices are probably safer for most users than Mac or Windows.

I imagine Fortnite will have a drawn out decline but there's always another video game poeple will be streaming.

Dark mode has been a common thing for much longer than the past few years.
I've spent 60-70% of my work time developing user interfaces and have never heard of it.
Then they couldn't trick users into using the service to pad their numbers for bonus season.

Maybe they'll just pay the ISPs to slow down other providers now that net neutrality isn't a thing.
Yea, I think they probably meant artificially. Its artificial because it may affect the user's usage of the phone.
If it worked, its not automated. If it didn't work, maybe its automated. Automating is still only works well on fixed function tasks and humans are fallible.
That is absurd. We as developers have the freedom to license the software we write in anyway we choose.
Says the man who doesn't know what a document database is. This isn't a gadget blog.
The dumber part is that MongoDB was previously licensed as AGPL, which means that Amazon is likely not using any source they simply made a compatible product.
The argument is that they shouldn't be restricted with what they can do with it as that takes away freedom.
The editors of Slashdot understand that anyone reading the site knows exactly what a document database is.
If they flood the market with old stock at a discount, that doesn't perform much worse than the new cards, who is going to buy the new expensive ones.
Designing a product for a fad diet doesn't seem like a recipe for long term success.
