Docker didn't really attempt to monetize Kubernetes at all until the writing was on the wall, instead they had their own thing (Swarm) that they were pushing but most of the ecosystem went in the other direction.

High on his own gas.

At the end of the day though, what are the actual consequences for him?

Wow, that sucks. They should acquire someone with a bigger catalogue!

The information provided at the time indicated 100 Mhz buffer would be enough, which the FCC doubled. Now the FAA are saying that in fact even 200+ Mhz buffer outside of the frequency that was ever allocated for this purpose is not enough for some altimeters.

For perspective, elsewhere in the world it's already been rolled out - in some cases with less buffer than is proposed in the US. The carriers have already delayed their rollout multiple times and the FAA still hasn't been able to prove there is an impact, rather they keep issuing defensible statements that it could have an impact despite having had years to work on this.

My read is either the FAA or the airlines or both want money re-allocated from the FCC spectrum sales or the carriers (or both) to retrofit their dated equipment.

Well for one Soracom's homepage doesn't mention 5G (or private 5G) once...

Now it's extra dead with no means of external control.

They missed the boat on this, there were rumors Microsoft offered as much as $4bn back in ~2016. Whether that's true or not, if there was an exit to be had that was around the time it would have been viable.

This is about where I got to when pondering this with regards to NBA Top Shot:

1. Is it irrational to pay large sums of money to collect NFTs? Yes. 2. Is it irrational to pay large sums of money to collect physical cards? Also yes.

Regardless, we humans are weird and will do it anyway.

They were a publicly traded company and IBM offered something like $190 a share when they were trading around $120.

I'm not as familiar with Hyper-V but certainly for KVM you would probably interact with it (indirectly) using virsh which I find pretty capable. No sane human should be interacting directly with the qemu command line if they can help it, it's written more for consumption by other software.

I really think it's mostly the issues with having advertized it for last gen consoles and then not actually delivered a playable experience on them. It sounds like there are indeed a lot of other bugs, but those seem like issues they would have been permitted to patch their way out of over time.

COD Cold War is another big title this year and is quite buggy, but it is playable in spite of those bugs on all the systems it was advertised to work on.

The kind of people that are up in arms that CentOS 8 isn't going to be supported through to 2029 are using it because it has outdated packages.

Agree, I'd imagine most of them are also still on 7, which the lifecycle didn't change for and goes to 2024 even if they just stay where they are.

Depends where you go, it's not like there are no other tech companies in Austin for example.

I would see that kind of group thing as more about building some rapport in a less scary environment than a skip level so that they feel if something was up they can come to you.

I think what gets lost is that it's your 1:1, not the manager's. Same when you go to a skip level.

If they are the one driving the agenda it is indeed probably going to be a waste of time.

This cartoon is a useful prompter for different things to think about going into them:

Even in other countries where it's covered they often wont start screening for it until later in life when you are considered at higher risk (but you can get it much younger).

Does NYC have the concept of "paid duty"? Where a private company can pay for police to cover their event?

It's interesting that even on an article about a non-Linux Red Hat product, the answers to your question predominately focused on only the Linux part of the picture.

From this I take it that most of the folks complaining about what is happening to CloudForms in here at least don't actually know what it is.

There are bottlenecks in the Kubernetes architecture that start popping up once you cross about 250-300 Pods per node (the published limit in the K8S docs is actually 100).

This is typically more of an issue when running the cluster directly on large bare-metal nodes because in the cloud or on virtualization the host gets split into more smaller nodes from a K8S perspective.

Obviously this also depends on the characteristics of the workload, if you have a lot of monoliths that you have only barely containerized the Pod per Node limit may not be a concern at all even on bare-metal.

Exactly, the protesters have to win every day. China only has to win once.

Do you find you are getting a dense enough # of pods per host on bare-metal?

My interpretation is that they and Red Hat are just as "independent" as each other. That is they can do whatever they want as long as they keep making money...but if they don't then they can and will be course corrected by their respective owners.

At that point it becomes about the nuance of defining what is really best for open source. Is it long term maintenance of ElasticSearch as it exists today, in which case I agree Elastic has the best incentive to keep it going, or is it net new open source code in which case Amazon is bringing new plugins to the table. I suspect in practice this is more of a spectrum than an obvious either/or.

While I might hope for more I don't expect a company to make decision any other way.

I didn't pose the original question, but in my mind "right" here is simply, made the best decision available to them at the point in time.

The VC funding is what appears to introduce it, but really it should be there from the start. By that I mean VC funding forces the founders to consider that simply having a viable project does not mean you have a viable product, but founders who don't realize that are on a path to this destination already before the VC turns up, the VC just accelerates it.
