That's how I feel about Microsoft generally

Talking about a one-dimensional perspective. What about the future of copy left?

What do you consider the AGPL and other copy left licenses? Even the OSI director acknowledges this one needs another look in the fulness of time here
545.

How is it proprietary? It's using the SSPL which offers copyleft user freedoms

They'd be destroying their community

As I said in another comment, I believe this is a fundamental misunderstanding of the intent, but hearing you and others saying it shows that the authors will need to consider further revisions.

A work queue service is not a public Redis service so you have total freedom to do whatever you want in this case

I don't believe that was the intent. If you look at the text it's more focused on the unique software that goes into delivering the service itself ... but since the goal of the SSPL was in many ways to reduce ambiguity compared to

This is like seeing an employee of Philip Morris pointing out that they have employees volunteer to tell kids how smoking is not healthy or like when British Petroleum funds research on green energy... I'm sorry but you're a cog i

Look more closely and you'll see that they offer a competing service right next to it... it's about the most anti-competitive posture you can imagine as they slowly corrode their foundation

Because the AGPL left more ambiguous the scenarios where the user would be compelled the open source their work that used the AGPL licensed work: this unfortunately led many people and organizations to rule out the use of a AGPL software. G

I think you have it right. Unfortunately much of the "OSI is OS" commentariat misunderstands the SSPL which aims to confer freedoms to use with no obligation from there (and even deliver as a public service where the machinery tha

Via support request eg one time during migration. Smart optics. Minimal real impact

Got it, in other words going beyond just a moment of someone signing up or putting in a credit card to actually continuously evaluating whether or not it looks like a user of the service may be on the list.. tricky indeed

I understand where the author is coming from and It is important to have a realist perspective on what is driving European strategy or else we will be in denial. I think it's also important to recognize that the west are interconnected

I just mean that you already have to know your customer. What am I missing?

I would have thought this essentially already existed what about OFAC for example?

It is surprisingly easy to learn how to read the phonetic nature of the language

Your comment implies that a network hop between two VPCs is inherently slow. My understanding is the VPCs are akin to a network encryption isolation boundary but should not meaningfully slow down network transfers between each other.. I thi

Postgres has neither built in high availability auto-failover, nor built-in horizontal scalability -- not quite sure what you mean?

Anyone successfully using? There are a few other services out there like PolyScale. It will be interesting to see if any of these introduce some form of write support over time

I'm so sorry to hear it, it's honestly so hard to imagine what that's like

Or you should hire twice as many of them

Thanks for the helpful clarification and very interesting

I had understood FoundationDB to be more akin to a storage engine (e.g. a sub-component of a DBMS) than a full-on DBMS. Was I misunderstanding? If so I bet a lot of people have this understanding, going back to your point on the web site&#x

I should have been clearer in my question: It would be great to hear directly from people who are using them about their successes and what their experience has been like

That's a pretty smart way for them to seed the ecosystem with open source connectors! Are you implying that that's what they were really trying to do here? Or do you think it was a genuine filter technique?
