Re:AWS announces forks of Elasticsearch and Kibana on Thursday January 21, 2021 @06:10PM (#25865907)
It's a good point. Imagine if one of those open source projects that Elastic uses licensed there own little bit of code under the SSL. Elastic would flip out.
Ugh. Promoting isolation exercises should be banned.

"Shady" take-over of plugins/apps is just a big a suspicious fail as allowing apps to gain access to all contacts on mobile phones.

Google never really cared about user privacy at all.

Because you can't fork it and do whatever you want with it.

Wrong. It only affects code going forward. Elastic can't change the license of existing code.

It's not open source though.

> their code

Meaning the entire codebase of the infrastucture that provides the offering. I.e. the underlying code behind AWS. Not a big deal right?

Re:Licensing changes to Elasticsearch and Kibana on Thursday January 14, 2021 @04:05PM (#25782507)
I wonder what will happen to the AWS ElasticSearch offering.
WARNING - it's much, much slower than DosBOX due to more accurate emulation. This means it won't run some games fast enough.
Where are all the lawyer jokes?

Why "equivalent"? Why can't we just say street food?

Take a guess.

Maybe you should be asking, what are their options? They can't force you to give away something you own.

Why are they so confident existing vaccines in development will work against the new strain? Isn't that why we get a new flu shot every year, because vaccines don't work against mutated viruses?

They should have merged with a PC make obviously.

Ironically IBM did fail to reinvent itself despite inventing the PC and it's cake was stolen from it.

Did you expect an RPG to have better gunplay than an FPS?
Exactly. The problem is simple - CP came out a year too early. It needed a LOT more play-testing and refinement. Unfortunately few studios/published take a true "it's done when it's done" approach.
It's nothing like Anthem. CP is a good game that was rushed out, Anthem was just bad.

> It’s usually a major mistake, that ends up costing a ton of time and money

LOL this is hilarious. Because outsourcing to consulting firms (cough IBM cough) has never resulted in blow-outs and poor delivery.

Buying almost always means being trapped in a snake-oil contract that requires ongoing consulting costs that quickly outweight the costs of the actual software.

> This can be avoided by making sure that the key differentiators for your business are in-house.

Oh....so you are saying we should build now?

Blogpsam.

> Our free market trades on the assumption that good, innovative products will prevail over less effective ones released by entrenched firms like Microsoft.

What a bizarre statement. The only think the free market assumes is that the market decides. Nothing else.

It's not an article, it's a hit piece, written by a known agitator not a journalist at a time when the religious anti PH movement is at it's crescendo.
