modern aircraft doors open inwards first, this is a really important design feature. so therefore locking becomes irrelevant. even if some crazy person goes up to the doors mid flight and tries to disarm, unlock, and open them, they simply

the stuxnet attack had a significantly higher level of sophistication than this. if your threat is a competent nation state the bar is much much higher.

index funds (of stock), private equity investments (generally stock), and vc equity investments (of private stock) are all also “stocks”.

one thing you’re missing is that gbtc investors also get to bet on the spread. this works on sentinment/momentum. for example, right now the spread is about 4%. it’s been as high as 20%+ and can also go below 0%. so if there is a lot o

we do indeed have a partnership with aws around grafana. but the cloud landscape goes beyond aws, and the grafana labs landscape goes beyond grafana itself. it's definitely a nuanced discussion internally.

do you feel that the sspl is ambiguous on this point? if so, why?

at grafana labs, we are still pretty torn on what our go forward licensing regime should be. bsl is interesting, but license proliferation and familiarity is a big factor to consider. now that both elastic and mongo are both using sspl, it

they’d still be able to innovate their own fork, but they will no longer be able to pull future upstream elastic code into it. so it becomes more of a hard fork. if elastic continues to innovate it will be difficult for open distro to remai

contributing back can mean monetarily. i’m sure elastic would be willing to sell a commercial license to a cloud provider if the deal makes sense.

that’s fair, but my point is that the analogy of linking to a newspaper article content doesn’t really apply to this. it’s apples:oranges.

it’s not copyright violation. it’s a license violation. they are completely different.

i agree with your point on license proliferation. the osi has failed, in my opinion, for not approving sspl or something similar. i respect them a lot less for it than i used to. sspl does not technically impose any restrictions on any clas

wow, this is super interesting, but i can't say i'm surprised by this move. the landscape has really evolved over the last few years for companies trying to build a business around open source. at grafana labs we are closely follo

airlines are indeed permitted the authority to decide who flies and who doesn't.

The Rat Thing has stopped. Which they never do. It's part of their mystery that you never get to see them, they move so fast. No one knows what they look like.

the original deal happened in 2015. i’m not a fan of zuckerberg by any means, but in this case i maintain it is disingenuous on the part of the hospital.

fwiw even if tesla increases their revenue by 50% cagr, for the next 5 years, they will still have a -lot- less revenue than the large ice car vendors.

i heard this, but all my meetings with amazon folk are still on chime. plus, slack audio and video capabilities are imo sorely lacking.

I agree with you on the melting pot comment, but (pre covid) jet age travel makes the whole 'isolation' point somewhat moot in my mind. you can be on a direct flight from Aukland to eg. San Fran that takes ~12 hours. is that reall

netflix does not serve their bits over amazon. they have their own major infra, and operate a large and distributed cdn, including edge caches colocated within eyeball networks. it would be insane for them to deliver their video content ove

you’re missing my point. singapore has a more elderly population than the usa. the covid outbreak was largely in foreign worker forms which have a much lower average age than the rest of singapore. singapore is not nigeria. it’s quite an el

singapore is not a single party democracy. you could have made that argument 20 years ago, but it just isn’t true today.

by nopzor 6y ago
singapore has a special factor that you didnt mention. the very large majority of their cases were in foreign worker dorms. almost none of these workers are over 40, and are generally in good health. so the demographics are very different.

that's an interestingly worded statement. in concorde, the passengers didn't even notice breaking through the sound barrier either. regarding sonic booms over land, their plan iirc is to reduce the noise level to the point where t

at the risk of over simplifying the point i'm trying to make: the shorter the wings the easier it is to turn. longer wings are better for lift (which is why gliders have super long wings), and shorter wings are better for maneuvering.
