The claim is that they sold that deal flow in a sub-optimal way that is expressly prohibited from them doing, and it led to consumers not getting the price that they, by law, should have been given.

A limit order just specifies the maximum that you are willing to spend per share. For example, putting in a limit order at $100 for a share of "X", means that you won't pay more than $100. If the best available price for &quo

I've commented fairly heavily in the related Grafana thread. Prometheus is a bit of a different story. It does have some operational overhead when you get to a certain point, and scaling it out is not always trivial. Assuming it work

I get the feeling you are talking about Elastic here, and I 100% agree that core authentication and security features (and sane defaults) being "Enterprise" is a bonkers decision.

I see your point, but there are 2 key differences here that I see. 1. Your product is integrating multiple tools and data sources to provide value beyond "just grafana". 2. You're are not Amazon, and I think that is actually

by nrmitchi 6y ago
Do you have some special knowledge from a different source that indicates this would be the case? If not you're just speculating that Amazon is acting in an very un-historical-Amazon way.

This feels like a new level of gross for Amazon in terms of their previous "this open-source thing is mine now" strategy. Not only is this taking-and-running an open source project, but on top of that, the pricing is per user ? T

Further, it makes me question how did they get a binder full of maxed out credit cards ? I get that times were different in 2008, but who was giving them all of these cards with no income and a stack of already-maxed-out cards.
