News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

heeey

That's not quite how it works.

- Decision maker googles and finds there's this Docker company that will solve their problems. Heard good buzz about Docker in the news, how open it is, and how many companies use it.

- Decision maker to engineer: "Hey can we use Docker software to solve problem X"

- Engineer: "Sure, the software is actually called Moby now though"

- Decision maker: "Meh, I don't care what it's called, I just want problem X solved. Docker solves it?"

- Engineer: "Yeah I guess"

- Decision maker: "Ok here's your budget. Pay Docker to solve problem X."

- Engineer: "Alright"

This is a bait and switch of whale proportions.

Docker used to be the open source part. Now that's being moved out of the way so when you search for Docker you get the paid offerings. The goal is to confuse the people who haven't been following this into thinking Docker is a thing you pay Docker (the company) for.

It's brilliant.

Re:Google plans ad-blocking feature in Chrome browser on Wednesday April 19, 2017 @10:03PM (#14153399)
That's ok. If this plan works, a few years down the road Ublock will get dropped/disabled for you under some pretense when Google can claim they've got you covered for "ad blocking".
