I like your optimism but even in centrally managed systems people won't upgrade. I've been harassing other employees to move away from our old Prometheus instance to our new one and it's been a real uphill battle. The only w

I've seen these referred to as "Source-available licenses". This would cover things like Mongo's SSPL. The bare reality is that it's just a commercial license.

Modern OS change their outgoing IPv6 address fairly often. They could grab 10,000 from the pool and rotate between them every second.

At best, it's unethical. Like someone else said, it's maybe possibly legal if done in a very specific and supervised way. That is almost certainly not happening. What's likely is that someone has decided to be diverse and p

We're not building enough housing. Every other reason for why housing prices are climbing so much is at best a `yes-and`. Housing starts per capital have been trending slightly downward since the 60's. Recessions have cut house c

I wonder what could be done about that? Could someone sue them for the copywritten code?

That reminds me of the PureFlix case years ago. Their shtick was editing movies to be more "Christian-friendly". So what they did was heavily edit a movie and burn it to a disk and ship it to you. What they did was they also bo

I've heard people complaining how hard IPv6 but I've never see a plan that is actually easier than migrating to IPv6. It's always massive CGNAT investment or making non-backwards compatible changes to IPv4 that is somehow &qu

That really surprising. I switch our workloads from m5 to m5a and there was a noticeable drop in performance and increase in latency. I'm running in-house go services that consume from kinesis streams, so nothing strange like SAP.

Why do you think communities shouldn't change? If the population growth rate is 1.8%, why should a city be able to decide that 0% growth is completely acceptable? Would you be willing to pay an uncapped land-value tax on your nicer ar

They're trying to do that to break 3rd party financial integrations. Not for your security but because they think they deserve to get paid for your data and these other people haven't paid up.

That's the argument he's making. Checking is only free because it's being paid for by people who who run up fees, and these people tend to be poor. It would be more fair for everyone to pay the same for a service, but banks

Mostly because we've invested huge amounts of engineering effort to work around the problems. The result is that for the most common use cases, things mostly work. NAT systems are optimized for a few devices to be active at a time. A

Those lists tend to compute how long has the current employee worked here, instead of how many years of work do leaving employees have? The list shows that older companies have significantly longer tenure numbers.

You can no more override supply and demand than you can override the CAP theorem. If you don't have sufficient supply then demand responds either with shortages or high prices. People are rationally responding to incentives that exist
