You pay with your PI which they market to advertisers to be able to target you with personalized advertising. They use your data to train their AI and build better algorithms which you are not getting payed for. Instead they offer you some free services.
dal··on Airbyte: Simple and extensible open-source EL(T)
No, this was exactly my point.

It is a company behind and not a foundation backed by multiple interests. So profit is the main driver. You want to have it open enough so you get community maintained connectors. This pattern is common.

If somebody were to implement those features you described there and commit to the repo under the BSD license would you merge it?

dal··on Airbyte: Simple and extensible open-source EL(T)
Just to clarify, this is not a fully open source project. More like freemium or just enough for the community to contribute and maintian free connectors which make it usefull. If you want security, you have to pay. There are non-free parts to it that you are not allowed to use. And contributing these features would probably not be allowed.
dal··on Visa Advertising Solutions (VAS) Opt Out
No, this can be done in the loadbalancer before any application. You can load balance on L7. This would be a trivial thing.
dal··on Einstein's theory of relativity, critical for GPS, seen in distant stars
I was just about to comment the same thing. It is the worst!
dal··on Bye bye BetterSlack
This is why you should not use Slack. Open protocols with open servers/clients is what we need such as IRC, Matrix or XMPP. Slack removed the IRC gateway just so they can stop people from using the service as they see fit and instead force on the users what they think it should be.
dal··on RFC 1178 – Choosing a name for your computer (1990)
Hope my shitty server won't die now.. I have been planning to migrate this to faster stuff..
dal··on Tell HN: Slack decides to close down IRC and XMPP gateways
This is super shitty.. the only reason to use slack was that you could escape from the shitty web/electron crap. Good bye slack.
dal··on Chrome 64 now trims messy links when you share them
Great for Google because they limit tracking for the sites it trims the links for. But Google can still see where it came from. Equals more profits.
dal··on Growing Ubuntu for Cloud and IoT, Rather Than Phone and Convergence
Of course but I meant that the proprietary version was here.

Why do I have to log in to linkedin for this??
dal··on “We will end development on Firefox OS for smartphones after the 2.6 release”
Yes and they should allow us who want to actually use the capital F.. Free part of the licence to use your own servers for everything. It is really hard to do now with Sync in Firefox for example.
dal··on Telepat: Real-Time, Open Source Data Sync
I don't like the fact that the Tux logo is linked to http://linux.com

Should be http://kernel.org as linux.com has a spammy feeling..

dal··on Plug anti-PRISM solution raises half a million dollars in 9 days on Kickstarter
What are you talking about? Quote from the kickstarter:

"Under the hood, the average transfer speed for your data will be around 30Mb/s"

That is megabits/s, pretty far from 100mbps. At home between my boxes I've got 1Gbps, why should I be unable to utilise that speed? That's just another argument to why it should be Free Software so I/we can run it on any hardware.

dal··on Plug anti-PRISM solution raises half a million dollars in 9 days on Kickstarter
Closed source, low performing hardware. Who would want this?
dal··on Professor tells 1700 students to edit Wikipedia, 85% plagiarism rate
Those people are probably too lazy and high to edit Wikipedia.
dal··on We just launched OpenSignal 2.0 for Android
I don't know what you are referring to when you're talking about open. Where can I download the source code for your apps or a database dump?
