The only comparable experience is ssh’ing in to fix a production outage from a Comcast network.

Well, shame on me! I forgot another thing... if you get sued by a big company, do you think people assume you are righteous and just trying to do your job? Or do you assume that people think you've done something really bad clearly? I CAN TELL YOU WITH CONFIDENCE IT IS THE

OH! here's the issue - you are presumed guilty WRT to being able to work. For most, the employer says 'sorry, we're taking away our offer - we can't deal with this'. For the lucky (lucky!) that can get to lawsuit, they are paying lawyer fees and probably get a temporary

This is a great and very specific kind of joke. Damnit.

I didn't comment on it at the time because when you accuse a competitor of IP theft you generally have, y'know, something to show for it. I assumed they had a slam dunk case!

This affirms that there's nothing Splunk won't do for (exactly) a dollar.

They made some pretty bold ethics claims both about Cribl and Clint Sharp personally--I assumed they HAD to have proof.

Nope, those got tossed in summary judgement. Splunk just sucks.

Some people might know that Amazon sued me after I had left AWS and later went to Google Cloud. cnbc.com/2020/06/11/aws…. I cannot be happier to see the FTC ruling to ban non-competes in the US. 'Noncompete clauses violate a 110-year-old law that prohibits unfair methods of

I really wanna understand how this can be true, yet Amazon has a “strive to be the earth’s best employer” leadership principle?

Demonstrates that at least one LP is in fact simply words on a page. How many others are?

Update to the AWS service terms: they suddenly don’t want you to attempt to reproduce their AI service training data.

What’s the training data, Amazon Web Services, and why are you suddenly getting religion on this particular point?
