A lot of features that are free in Solr, but nowhere near as easy to use, are premium in ElasticSearch. Amazon cannot just take X-Pack and say "so long, suckers" to Elastic, and replicating X-Pack would be non-trivial in terms of costs. You can get Amazon-managed ElasticSearch, but it's going to be pretty basic compared to paying for either licenses or cloud functionality from Elastic. It's basically good only for people who don't even want to run basic security inside of ElasticSearch.
And you know what? I'm totally fine with that. There's no such thing as a free lunch. The open core has provided clients of mine plenty of value, and it's subsidized by keeping all of those features held back for paying customers.
I expect the Cloudera-HortonWorks merger will do the same for the Hadoop ecosystem. Ambari will be dropped in favor of Cloudera Manager, which is not free. So all of the companies that won't pay for licenses will have to either roll their own management system or pay up. That might actually mean that the combined company will be able to turn a profit and keep paying for a lot of open source contributions.
There are too many folks out there that want a service that brings friends and families together so they can share movies and pictures--"for free." Unfortunately, most of them fall into either the "I just don't care, it's free. lulz" category on privacy or the generic "respect my privacy, where da gubmint, and oh yeah, I'm still not paying monthly or yearly but don't spy on me either" category. In other words, either folks don't care or they do "care" but refuse to acknowledge that unless they're paying this is just the nature of the beast.
There is where Gab's business model could have made things very interesting if the founder hadn't decided that free speech for trolls was a hill worth dying to defend. They were starting to expand into a hybrid of Twitter and Facebook, and it would have been straight forward for them to let pro users open a page where family members could share that content for a nominal fee.
That's called government directed businesses, or "pork barreling". What happened to free market enterprise eh?
Ok, I'm going to break it down real simple for you because the point just flew over your head like a Space-X rocket over a Pacific cargo cult...
1. These are government jobs. "Duh free merkitz" don't apply to key aspects like location because the location is wherever Uncle Sam says it is. 2. Most of these are jobs are needlessly situated in one of the highest cost regions in the United States. 3. If the feds moved a few thousand large scale projects to Tulsa, many contractors would move there if the pay rates were comparable. 4. Pork barreling is when you send bullshit back to your district just to bring local money in. A realignment of the federal workforce to get most of the work out of metro DC is not pork barreling because it's--on paper--real work.
With that base, OK would have a shot of improving its tax base and have a core constituency that it can use to drive other programs to make people relocate.
Feds could easily snap their fingers and send several thousand new knowledge worker jobs to Tulsa within the next 1-3 years just by giving marching orders to a few agencies to move out of metro DC and set up jobs in that general region. It would also save the taxpayers probably on the order of 25-40% on contract costs.
I have never understood why the other 48 states, particularly California with all of its collective bitching about paying more than it receives, has allowed MD and VA to grow fat on all of these jobs. Metro DC could easily be forcibly disassembled by the other 48 states legislatively if they chose to cooperate.
Them having some of your health records or them buying access to your MasterCard transactions? And why are you using Android when they keep having "oopsies" where Google services don't honor the privacy controls and keep sending data? And please tell me you're not pissing and moaning about them datamining your "free" email.
Fact of life, folks: you can't make a deal with the devil and not come out burned and stinking of sulfur.
The people working at Amazon are making "well over $100k". And the VRE goes waaay out in the suburbs. Give us a break.
1. One person making well over $100k is not dual incomes well over $100k, as in both partners/spouses each making well over $100k. Husband makes $150k-$160k, but wife makes $50k as a school teacher? Not going to work well.
2. Try getting to the VRE in Manassas at 7:30-8:00. It's not going to be a pleasant commute, particularly if you have to take 66 part of the way there.
How is us being able to not repair or preserve our videogames in the public interest? Little shits like you have been piggybacking on corporate money for a long time. We essentially have eternal copyrights where nothing goes public domain.
GP was agreeing with you by saying that the whole purpose of extending those copyrights is to let people continue to squeeze out the last drops of value to the detriment of the public.
but my understanding with DC is that the metro doesn't stretch out far enough to accommodate most people living in the suburbs
It really doesn't. Loudoun and PWC have essentially no service, and we are very much DC suburbs. When the post-9/11 increase happened, no one in government really planned and so we now have a totally avoidable catastrophe in terms of public transportation.
Irony is, the situation was under control in 2001 to 2005 to such an extent that they could have brought metro rail all the way down rt 28, 66, etc. because real estate was so much cheaper back then.
A huge percentage of the people who have to do that commute don't live anywhere near VRE or DC Metro. For many of us, the time to get to a rail station is a large chunk of the drive.
"Live closer"
Ok, we'll get right on that. Nevermind that our area has a fetish for high end, luxury homes that are only affordable if you have dual incomes well over $100k.
How about a basic course in logic, like the people who objected to Amazon's AI resume reviewer preferring men getting taught what "post hoc ergo propter hoc" means.
The only thing that should concern us even more than black box algorithms is knowing that the people above will not rest until the algorithm gives them the expected output. Even if that means effectively demanding "garbage out, no matter the input."
If you don't touch that, it's like fighting the drug war while conspicuously avoiding ever moving on the cartels and focusing only on street dealers and their suppliers.
Is how many of those objecting are foreigners or immigrants who obtained citizenship. Why does that matter? Two reasons:
1. People on H1B can, as the SJWs like to say, "fuck right off" about their involvement with our military. They are guests in our country and their distaste for supporting our military isn't worth the electricity to write and post or the bandwidth to transmit.
2. If they are foreign-born and became citizens, that is a legitimate consideration going forward in the general political conflict over immigration.
No matter how much SJWs want to argue otherwise, there is a natural distinction between supporting our military and supporting how it's used. Claiming otherwise is as idiotic as saying that by supporting law enforcement you must necessarily support police brutality. Such idiots and assholes are effectively doing nothing more than drowning out every voice that wants rational reform.
You know a few technical guys and a decent manager and want to bid on a contract? Not so fast!
1. First you must figure out what contract vehicle it's on. 2. Then you must spend money getting onto that vehicle by bidding. 3. Then you must bid to get that contract.
All the while going up against incumbents that have better contacts and decades of experience wording things just right, with the particular jargon needed to win in the government space.
Oh and as a small company, you will also need to find some way to game the 8A system so that you aren't overlooked as a small business for purely political reasons beyond the agency's control.
Simple suggestion:
1. Abolish these processes and replace with a bond. 2. If your bid is unrealistic and plain bullshit, you get sent to arbitration to decide on whether the contract office sends the bond to the Treasury or not. 3. If you appeal for bullshit reasons, see #2.
Having a CoC is protective coloration, you do it to avoid trouble whether you believe in it or not.
That's why all of the mainstream CoCs don't allow any discrimination against anyone for any reason, including experience level. (You ageist bastards who think 1 year post college almost certainly doesn't qualify you to maintain a kernel subsystem and arbitrate patching disputes can fuck right off and die as the SJWs say)
I mean look at the Spotify CoC which openly says clearly that if you're a super-marginalized person (gay, transgendered, multi-racial, non-binary voodoo practitioner for example) you can shit all over the carpet and those evil normies can fuck right off and die:
Our open source community prioritizes marginalized people’s safety over privileged people’s comfort. We will not act on complaints regarding:
‘Reverse’ -isms, including ‘reverse racism,’ ‘reverse sexism,’ and ‘cisphobia’
Reasonable communication of boundaries, such as “leave me alone,” “go away,” or “I’m not discussing this with you”
Refusal to explain or debate social justice concepts
Communicating in a ‘tone’ you don’t find congenial
Criticizing racist, sexist, cissexist, or otherwise oppressive behavior or assumptions
Can you provide a single example, anywhere, where someone has argued this in good faith, that we can verify?
Are you really pretending to be so pig ignorant of modern politics that you've never heard someone say it is impossible for a black person to be racist because racism requires power that minorities allegedly don't have?
No small part of it is because the left has adopted a view that "marginalized people" are effectively entitled to be disruptive, toxic, etc. Because discrimination(tm). If you want proof that most human beings are miserably stupid, it's the fact that so many left wing activists cannot reconcile two principles they've advocated and realize how the lock together like Lego pieces:
1. Every innocent civilian killed by anti-terrorism operations breeds new terrorists as people bitterly resent being collateral damage. 2. "Marginalized people" cannot be guilty of oppressing "non-marginalized people" no matter how they behave.
A rational person with an IQ higher than the thermostat might have an "oh fuq...." moment here. Every "non-marginalized person" who is disemployed, hounded out of public life, etc. creates collateral damage in their family, friends and people sympathetic saying "shit man, that could be me too" just like many a Muslim has done when the USAF bombs a village.
he'd been asked to create a web site where customers could query a database to see if they were affected by a yet-to-be-announced security breach for a high-profile client.
Unless they told him formally or at the water cooler it was his own employer, it is absolute bullshit to charge him with insider trading. What's next? Going to charge government contractors for doing option trading if they hear a government manager say a huge contract is about to be pulled? This is not what insider trading is supposed to be about, but that doesn't really matter because laws are only for the little guy.
1. No investigations of districts that have a voter registration count greater than the total population in them. 2. No efforts to reconcile death documentation with voter registration rosters. 3. No one domestic officials are getting investigated over abnormalities in their districts.
And most damning of all:
4. When Trump wanted to bring "audit the Fed" to the voting system, there was a bipartisan collective loss of shit big enough enough to provide manure-based fuel to heat all of Russia and Northern Europe for an entire winter.
Gee, what on Earth could they be hiding by refusing to take all over that voter data, toss it into a big ass AWS GovCloud instance w/ Hadoop and Spark and see what devils are lurking in the details...
Also what exactly makes you think Chinese "imperialism" is going to be worse than American or European?
For the same reason that Roman imperialism was significantly uglier than Christian European imperialism: pagan cultures--which China functionally is--don't tend to place anywhere near as much value on human life as Christian-influenced ones.
Those values you probably have about equality, tolerance, love, etc.? Those aren't universal. They were religious values that the Church spent centuries stamping into a high pagan culture where violent revenge, slavery and hatred were not only normal, but celebrated as good.
"People don't understand fully, but you're always balancing a set of values,"
No, we fully understand what you're doing, and we don't agree with you that whatever good you think you're doing offsets the intrinsic evil of helping the central governing authorities in China monitor every search your users do.
I am going to make a bet here: at some point, the Chinese government is going to ask for Google to help with AI research with direct military applications, and they will agree to do it. You will also not see rioting in their American campuses from the people who opposed participation here, and you certainly won't see them rioting and saying that helping the PLA is even worse than helping the US military. It will be exactly like wars during Democratic administrations where they suddenly support the troops, support the mission and call dissent treason.
When most right-leaning people say "Capitalism," what they actually end up meaning after all of the qualifications is Distributism.
One of the many ways Distributism would work better is that its solution to healthcare would be large scale state and federal subsidies of non-profit hospitals and facilitating the establishment of new ones. A distributist state would also give priority to those hospitals that operate as charities and would regularly threaten to withhold funds from hospitals, universities, etc. that are found to be prioritizing administrative jobs over "worker jobs."
You claim they're opposites, then claim they're the same. But socialism is explicitly the opposite of that idea.
Socialism is based on the idea that we'll trust the state on everything and it will magically work out. Capitalism is the idea that we'll trust the market for everything and it will magically work out. Those are opposite positions, extreme polar opposites. They're also united in the one particular sense that they're both rooted in a fallacious belief that politics can be reduced to an exercise of ideology. Virtually all modern politics is built on that faulty premise.
Libertarianism is the willfully ignorant belief that anarchy does not lead to feudalism
Actual feudalism gets a bad rap. It's infinitely preferable to living under doctrinaire Socialism or anarcho-Capitalism. You're basically saying "would you rather be ruled like 16th century England with modern tech or modern day Somalia or Venezuela?" No one in their right mind would chose either of the latter.
"I can think of no industry in the past 100 years that has improved its safety and security without being compelled to do so by government."
Libertarianism is the opposite side of Socialism. Both are based on this premise:
"We'll trust and magically it will all work out."
Both the market and the state have particular natures that simply don't work for solving certain problems. The government is terrible at the things that Socialism says it can magically fix, and the market is terrible at resolving the negative externalities that Capitalism says will be resolved by market incentives that arise from them.
Historically, that's why it was called political-economy, not economics. It was just understood by most thinkers that politics governs the economy and most political questions resolve back to answering economic disputes.
No, you ended up with Trump for a few simple reasons:
1. Republican voters were so sick of establishment politicians who routinely stab us in the back that we were willing to flip the coin and say "heads we win, tails we burn your house down" to the GOPe. 2. The Democrats ran a candidate who could lose a popularity contest to Elizabeth Bathory at an all female middle school.

If the right person complains that they felt excluded, it won't matter. Once you hold up inclusiveness as a virtue, all bets are off.
Those brokers are not nearly as dangerous as things like Google buying access to MasterCard's data. Facebook and MasterCard also appear to have bidirectional sharing agreement.
