Not that I understand how the deal structure is priced, but that seems like a win for Yahoo at this point?

Have had major issues with reporting using this tool with an "infinite scroll" or single page app type of setup. Serious under-reporting of the history state change.

There are a couple of community members seriously considering this with the license change.

This is correct.

To add to this: not all companies have a stellar engineering team that is capable of dividing the code base in such a way that some could be open sourced while other remains private. The legal team for said companies know full well the technical debt and as a result everything remains private.

I would highly recommend starting with this project: https://github.com/rosskukulinski/kubernetes-rethinkdb-clust...

I use RethinkDB with Kubernetes in production using the above project and have been very happy.

Ross, the project creator, is also a RethinkDB leadership member and is stellar at responding to any questions concerning the project.

I'd like to point out that the OP of this comment is Mike the RethinkDB co-founder. While the company may have perished, his spirit for the project only got larger. Everyone buy Mike a beer.

Yes this is currently in the works; going from AGPL -> ASLv2 is not as simple as a Github PR, but we should hopefully resolve it in the next week or two.

RethinkDB leadership member here: happy to answer any questions for the next hour or so.

One thing to note, this was not an easy process; our team has spent months working daily on a solution. This was definitely our Plan A result, but we never expected LF to step up and provide the sponsorship funding as well. Huge thanks to LF/CNCF for helping close things in the end!

If you use RethinkDB please make sure to give a leadership member a hug if you happen to be in SF/NYC/Nashville/Philly/etc.

Would we ever know?

I can confidently say that there is much more than $$ driving the individuals that made this wonderful product. (I did not work at RethinkDB).

Is this to say they acquire other companies for their customers?

How many of Oracles competitors have sent an offer letter to this sales person? This is the easiest resume advertisement ever and doubles as a stab at Oracle's profits.

Imagine trying to move a couch with your hands tied behind your back. That is how it has been for us the past few months. Good things coming soon though.

For many of the foundations we've spoken to, we would need to change the license.

What type of AC / Heating does your home have? Are those two knobs in the photo the central climate control?

Oh the TAAS...I spent 10 years being told I would finish that crap in the 10th grade...only to find out in the 10th grade that TAAS II was coming out and we were the lucky candidates to take it...in the 11th grade.

The #2 pencil is spot on. I carried an entire box of pencils and would trade them for a slice of pizza at lunch.

Is it really about whether your boss can do your job or not, or whether your boss thinks your job is difficult or not?

I'd second this. The stress level between a profitable / breakeven setup vs one that is not is quite large.

The quality of the current line of surfaces is pretty good. A few friends who have needed a replacement computer/laptop but need to use Windows for work have opted for the Surface. Gives them nice portability and they don't really need an iPad (or can't afford a laptop and iPad).

Thank you, this is exactly what I meant.

That's why the very first thing I mention is Steve.

As per previous comments, _very_ recently one came out. It was not out with the initial rollout of the devices.

No, the current expectation is the consumer to buy it :/

Steve and the unified vision is gone.

While on winter holidays my fiance pointed out to me:

- She just got a new Macbook Pro from her new job, which has only USB C ports

- She just got a new iPhone 7 from her new job, which is only a Lightning port

She cannot connect her phone to her computer to charge without a dongle. EDIT: a Lightning to USB C cable does exist now. That is still equivalent to a dongle in my opinion, as the consumer still has to buy it and it is a cable that won't be used for anything else.

She has to carry two sets of headphones, one for her computer, and one for her phone.

The unified vision at Apple is gone.

That's great that you've recognized your duty to your family, but what happens when your children retire? What process is in place to help them? Current projects barely keep things solvent for the retiring baby boomer generation.

Robbing Peter to pay Paul isn't sustainable [1], but that's what social security is. Social security is not a guaranteed solution. If we have to raise taxes or collect additional taxes, that makes it a ponzi scheme. Cutting benefits is similar: you either lose the money now or later.

Discussion forums such as this are one of our few hopes for generating s sustainable solution. Just because a solution doesn't currently exist doesn't mean we should be complacent with how things are.

History says everything eventually gets taxed if things go bad. Roth's would be an easy one.

Because of arbitrary rules that do not take cost of living into account, I cannot contribute to a Roth :/

I also have this bad feeling Roth's will face some type of tax / fee in the future :/

I'm not confusing them. My concern is the tax that is paid when withdrawing at eligible retirement.

I'm not interested in Roth for arguments sake.

Am I the only one that is scared of 401ks? It sounds nice: put your money into an account tax-free, let it grow tax free over 30-40 years. When you retire, you have this nice large fund to pull money from.

My biggest fear is that in 30-40 years the US government and/or 401k funds are so poorly run that they tax 50/60/70% of the income (withdrawals) out of the 401k to sustain theirselves. Lots of people tell me "that won't happen" but when I study history, I realize that the only people who think that are ones who have never lived through a major war. Wars = higher taxes. To me, putting money in a 401k is trusting that everything will be ok for a long time to come, and it's just hard to justify that the way history books show the cycles of war.

It scares me so much that I'd rather pay the taxes now, and invest as I please.

Edit: as omouse mentioned, that is my other fear. That through technology and healthcare innovations, as well as the government recognizing the need to "adjusting" the retirement age, how do I know I will get my 401k at 65? What if it is 85? That's too risky for me :/
