Daily News Stuff 29 October 2018
Tech News
- IBM just bought Red Hat for around A$317 trillion. (Wired)
I'm okay with that. Except for the exchange rate, which sucks. Things are getting expensive.
This means that IBM owns or has some control over RHEL, CentOS, Fedora, CoreOS, OpenStack, OpenShift, Kubernetes, Ansible, 3scale, JBoss, Gluster, Ceph, and probably other things. (Serve the Home)
Lots of stuff both enterprisey and cloudy.
- W3C has a whole linked set of draft standards for blog and social media data representation, protocols, and APIs.
Frankly they're kind of annoying. Yeah, I'm working on the thing again.
- The Waiting Time Paradox says that when waiting for a bus that runs every ten minutes, your average waiting time is ten minutes.
Social Media News
- In an in-depth examination of the rise of anti-semitism in America Axios bravely avoids mentioning that Louis Farrakhan is still on Twitter.
- Boing Boing says fuck you and your "free speech" this your "civil rights" that.
As The Federalist noted today, conservatism is the new counter-culture and the left has grown oppressive and reactionary.
Gab posted a statement on Medium deploring the attack in Pittsburgh, and decrying violence and anti-semitism generally, and Medium banned them.
Reached for comment, George Orwell said "told you".
(Hat tip: Brickmuppet)
- Neil Gaiman on why it's important to defend icky speech.
Old and yet oddly timely.

Convenient (for them!) Axios doesn't have comments, isn't it?

Er, I think you mean thirty-some billion Australian, not 300 trillion. Unless the exchange rate has gone seriously Venezuala-shaped overnight.

Or perhaps he was making a joke about exchange rates.
