It might not be sufficient to trigger trademark violation, but that doesn’t stop it being a dick move. Edit: As was Amazon's choice to offer a service named that once Elasticsearch was established, to be clear.

It was probably also crazy to call the search product “elasticsearch” 4 years after Amazon had started using “elastic X” branding for their already-popular cloud services.

I’d imagine one that reasonable people would understand to be the meaning. If a “web hosting” company told me they only stored things on a server with no way to serve it to users, I’d laugh them out the room.

You can only do that if there are competing airports that are equally usable for where you want to go. Perhaps SFO vs SJC if you're going to the peninsula, JFK vs EWR or LGA, or the various Los Angeles airports but that's pretty m

The biggest issue I have with it is that the touch screen is unresponsive. You press something, and it responds a second later. Completely unforgivable.

This is a nice idea, but assumes both your employer and your personal account use Google Calendar. If that assumption goes away I might be interested in this. What guarantees does this make about access to data and how does it make them?

Payment buys time that people can't be doing what they want to. If what they want is to be drinking 10 beers, then the options are either paying them not to (i.e. paying for passive on-call time), or accepting that if there is a call t

I classify both sponsored content and PR-speak as spam, personally.

This is largely because of payment friction: is some scammy site going to manage its own subscription and call to make me cancel? Do I accidentally sign up to some dumb minimum term etc.

Not being able to take a pointer to a literal is one of my pet peeves with Go - especially when using the AWS SDK, which requires pointers to literals everywhere. At least with generics, a wrapper function doesn't require a separate fu

Before 2000 that was also my experience (I was in the EU then too). Between 2000-2005 there was a steady increase of iBook/Powerbook owners thanks to being the only laptop with a reasonable battery that could run a Unix.
