Re:Karmada: Open, Multi-Cloud, Multi-Cluster Kubernetes Orchestration
on Tuesday April 27, 2021 @03:55AM (#26953234)
Regardless of multi-cloud deployment preferences, multi-cloud readiness has tremendous value in itself.
Biggest of the values is having the freedom and choice to pack up from one cloud and go to another at the drop of hat.
Another equally important reason is to provide some commoditization of cloud providers so they don't grow all powerful.
It also keeps cloud market open for new entrants that can come in with better/different value propositions than the existing players and stand a fighting chance of playing upon merits.
Unless you (as in general developer and not you specifically) want cloud providers to become massive rent seeking institutions, keep optionality in the ecosystem.

More than the abstract notion of it being a communication platform, it's the specific usecases that open your imagination to the unlocks connectivity is bringing. Using WhatsApp to report timber theft is something I would never have guessed.
I thought you'd have guessed the spirit of the comment since you're so adept at guessing.

I doubt GitHub or any org is changing their SOP based on my comment. But the mere existence of a scenario equivalent to the one in question in the operating guidelines suggest there is room fur sanity to prevail in the interpretation of the law.

Not as per the letter of the law.

118. I have a client that is in Iran to visit a relative. Do I need to restrict the account?
A: No. As long as you are satisfied that the client is not ordinarily resident in Iran, then the account does not need to be restricted. See FAQ 37.

Because Walmart owns the physical space but apple doesn’t own the physical device.... Apple has set up shop on the real-estate (the device) that it sold over to the user. I’ve seen this argument plenty of times and it rings hollow to me every time.
Re:The best Parts of Visual Studio Code are proprietary

It's the same strategy that Google follows for Android. The secret juice of the Android app ecosystem is in the Google Play services... And that's entirely proprietary. So even though the OS is open source, it's impossible to truly build an alternative ecosystem. I agree with the author that the marketing rings falsey.
