"Switching from OpenSearch to running elastic search ourselves did require some initial setup, but we're not changing the size of the team at all in the longterm to accommodate for this switch. Because running things on premise is not a materially different scope of work from running it in the cloud. That's the whole premise behind our overall cloud exit: The team it takes to run our scale of operations in the cloud wasn't any less than what it takes to run that same scale on our own hardware."

and thats the rub... in generic enterprise land everyone has there own ES cluster multiregion to support 100GB of data and 50 rds dbs that could run one instance... what even is a DBA in today's world?

Is they why they changed the license? they got a hint google was releasing a product based on Terraform?

"The configuration should be actuatable by Terraform version 1.2.3."

So its currently pinned to an older Terraform release...

What if Microsoft buys it for there devtools business like NPM, Github, VSCode + Terraform,Consul,Vault.. all just more gateways into azure but like all the others they own allow you to use it how you want opensource.

accept Ecuador is being particularly ravished by Covid-19 so dont know what that says.

A guide to corporate awareness. Great to read every year to make sure you're not lost in the madness.

"Play your part in the comedy, but don't identify yourself with your role."

The merger of these threads really takes away the scope of the announcements made and the different discussions being had. The editorializing and changing of URL really alters the environment for conversation in a way that's not healthy and hurts the scope of these things. Then the second highest comment on the thread becomes about the design layout on the page.

So be it if Microsoft/Apple/Google/Android/Amazon/Uber is on the front page multiple times...

Fortunately they can continue buying released products and help the masses have an option for repairs.

They did this recently:

Your main site is down. Giving off 502s.

Universal search (once a part of Android) has long been stripped out due to patent issues with Apple.

The app permissions system on Android is all or nothing. Which I think would benefit from a more rigorous approval process. All the access is disclosed though before install.

Glad the world has options.

To add to your point and take it a couple steps further. The continuous automation of physical muscle and mind muscles will reduce white and blue collar work.

Image uploads not working and still no gif support.

Text only. No images and still no gif support.

Either 300mill was a steal for AOL or Valuations are out of hand?...

Which one is it?

The tools are competent. The problem is usability and training.

Not going to happen: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Cable_%26_Telecommunic...

Just wait till Aereo gets screwed in their Supreme Court case. Then we really will be.

In fact no matter which way they rule in Aereo's case we are screwed. If they rule in favor of Aereo the content companies (Comcast owns NBC) will just start taking content "cable only".

I don't think they compete directly in vast majority of markets and for this to go through they will surely forfeit those smaller contested ones.

I think this will go through. Then they will have a huge "content and subscriber" stick to wave around at Aereo, Netflix, Apple and anyone else wanting to play the net content hero.

That makes for a rather large "content and subscriber" stick to wave around.

So modder gets close to fit/finish with his hands and then its not good enough cause the "insides"... which you can't see BTW is the real good stuff is. Design can be just for design sake and not for technical or mechanical superiority.

Your thought train is living somewhere between these: https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/no-true-scotsman https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/special-pleading

The sooner all cops shifts are "GoPro'd" for lack of a real product the better. Tech has reached a point where we can archive a shifts worth of video for atleast 6 months.

As Google continues its refinement of Android and mobile hardware is further commoditized Samsungs profits are destined to fall.

Apple on the other hand has a cyclical money printing machine by just releasing new versions of hardware design that fits the margins they would like.

They day I can give up my driving commute and order a ride uber style and for a reasonable subscription. I'll be all over it.

I think its safe to assume any youtuber or blogger may have some paid endorsements. I thought getting paid for mentions or endorsements required disclosure by the FTC.

They do this and package in web DVR like Aereo and I think they have got something.

Problem is DSL and Cable operators are internet operators. Municipalities need to get on top of deploying fiber to the home.

Why not add the human element?

Just a bit of passive moderation by a humans like students or amazon turks in app-stores/extension libraries for fake and malicious apps would go such a long way.

Good minesweeper implementation as well.

I've always wondered if buying Bestbuy and turning them into store, showroom and local warehouses would be a workable model for Amazon.

So I think the world understands that doing business in china requires some special attention.

Despite all of that they are doing business in China. Serious dollars are being made and value being delivered to millions of users. We should want in on that or to at least have some understanding of how its being done in comparison to US/EU.

He is an executive at a Chinese tech company. They have PR awareness so he isn't going to get into anything politically controversial.

Also I don't think he was there to pitch you into doing business in China.
