This is actually very interesting project. Do we have some benchmark that sonic works on huge scale with lot of data?

I assume if you run ES in your own datacenter or you use SaaS, you will be fine!

I guess they target AWS but not AWS users...

AFAIRemember, RedHat dropped MongoDB because of "controversial SSPL"

> So essentially, anyone is free to modify MongoDB. It’s only when you offer MongoDB as a commercial service that the conditions of the SSPL state that you must open source the entire service.

Is this a difference like GPLv2 and GPLv3? Does this means that AWS now must open internal service (probably not but I'm trying to be devil advocate)

I wish it would be explained that way

didn't read the article so I don't know if it's addressed or not...

I think that newer generations are going toward reddit over facebook/instagram for text content. I might be wrong but it's my own experience talking with teenagers

confiq··on Apple’s Anti-Tracking Plans for iPhone
actually... I did wrong quote so joke on me! The quote that I wanted is this one

> That’s where you come in: We need a massive outpouring of support for Apple’s decision to help strengthen its resolve to protect consumer privacy.

Why mozilla needs people like me and you in order for apple to fulfil their promises for consumer privacy?

As apple says “Privacy. That’s iPhone”, why it needs user attention for apple actions?

Yes, apple talking about apple... Lets see the facts, here mozilla is asking apple to commit what apple is advocating for all these years.

> "In 2019, Mozilla called on Apple to increase user privacy by automatically resetting the Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA) on iPhones."

It's 2021 very soon

confiq··on Telegram files EU antitrust complaint against Apple’s App Store
here is what article says:

> Telegram, which has been used by demonstrators—most notably in Hong Kong—and drawn attacks from governments including China, has previously accused Apple of blocking updates as it faced mounting pressure in Russia. A two-year ban in the country for Telegram has recently been lifted.

I guess they want easier access to application in countries that telegram is banned and apple is helping
