Both of which paulg didn't do.

Having a personal website with contact information is not URL cloaking or plaintext onfuscation. Those TOS are ludicrous to begin with, but are not by any reasonable understanding written to say that you can not have a personal website with other social media.

It's not what the TOS say though.

This is amazing. He basically said, he'd return if elon comes around, and wishes him the best. And just said "my mastodon is on my website". No violation of those new "TOS" of any kind.

It's not a coincidence, no, because Oracle can provide support guarantees in a way a Postgres contractor can not.

This is also a factor for independent developers (who build airline reservation systems) who need to choose a RDBMS for their product - they'll choose oracle, because ... Oracle can provide support guarantees in a way a Postgres contractor can not.

Which makes Oracle not a different class of product than Postgres, but a different class of support for the product. (which could be considered part of the product, so ... maybe you're right)

Ask HN: What do you want in BIOS/BMC functionality on a server?

Posted by meshugga on Thursday August 23, 2018 @09:53AM
from the ask-hn dept.

Hello HN,the startup I work for has asked me to spec out BIOS/BMC features, and I have a few open questions that I want to get a sense for. The survey is short and to the point, with the option to leave more elaborate feedback.I'd greatly appreciate people in devops positions working with physical hardware to take five minutes and give me their very valued input.Feedback and general discussion...

I don't take his side in making money off of intellectual property that doesn't belong to him.

Torrent sharing is one thing. Selling access to downloadable material that doesn't belong to you quite another.
