Ah-ha, thanks @rickmanelius. Now I understand why I've been getting questions on AGPL. It's another round of "let us cover up our inability to effectively compete or work out how to survive in an open world with a magic license that doesn't respect the essential freedoms" ->
A bit of digging leads me to @adamhjk and "attempts to increase the ability of companies to monetize their open source software through limiting the rights of others" - absolutely spot on. Well worth the read - medium.com/sustainable-fr…
Another good article, also worth a read - The Cyclical Theory of Open Source by @sogrady - redmonk.com/sogrady/2018/1…
It's encouraging to see people think about causes, how to make change sustainable, principles needed rather than just jump in with "here's another half arsed license I made up that limits your freedom and has little thought to the consequences" ... well done @sogrady, @adamhjk

Lunch and a quick scan of NHS long term plan - longtermplan.nhs.uk/publication/nh… ... page 6 (summary) and rapid expansion of "personal health budget" - england.nhs.uk/personal-healt… - aka full scale privatisation of NHS under the cover of giving patients choice. Bye Bye NHS, you'll be missed.
... not that we really have an NHS, it is more of a franchise. Anyway, personal choice is the way to kill it off and embrace a market led insurance model. First health, police next - "Then he swiped his credit card to pay me for arresting him" - newyorker.com/humor/daily-sh…
.. but let us not sweat the little stuff like health, society, cohesion but focus on big things like staying in the EU. As we all know, the EC will save us. I can hear Juncker on the phone to May saying "you can't continue privatising the NHS, the EC is going to stop you". Lol.

X : Predictions for 2019?
Me : Not my thing.
X : Go on.
Me : What are you after?
X : Acquisitions.
Me : Hmmm, a bucketload of tech acquisitions around Kubernetes. Expect big juicy deals.
X : It's the future?
Me : No. Mostly cash rich past giants with no future being clueless.
X : No market for Kubernetes?
Me : Some very profitable niches. Savvy tech buyer will wait until hype dries up before swooping in for tasty acquisitions around 2021-2022. This year will mainly be the clueless with big chequebooks. Hoping some friends will make it big this year.
X : The market doesn't operate to make your friends rich.
Me : Are you sure? It has been doing a good job of it - Cloud, Big Data, Containers ... it's always the same.
X : So, where is the future?
Me : I thought you were interested in acquisitions? They are not the same.

People's Vote march was attended by a third of number that organisers claimed, official estimate says - telegraph.co.uk/politics/2019/… ... still 250,000 isn't a bad turn out.
I'm all for expressing desire and involvement in politics but I'm a tad unhappy that the #peoplesvote seems to attack Corbyn but rarely Tories, it seems to talk up an exodus from Labour and I'm not convinced it is representative of ordinary folk - beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/096411…
i.e. Roland Rudd, who turns out to be a very wealth public relations executive and brother of Amber, Conservative MP -
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roland_Ru… or Richard Reed, another multi millionaire but previously cited as a potential funder for a centrist party - theguardian.com/politics/2018/… ...

While waiting for my Los Angeles Times to arrive today, because of some virus, I was reminded of a small story.
A small story:

A few years back, my family received two newspapers, because we're not-interesting like that. And yes, we were ferociously topical, but we were also drowning in papers because some day, Consort will die under the stack of newspaper sections he refused to give up.
"There...was...an...article...I needed to...read..." he'll wheeze as the Arts sections crush his windpipe.

 The Heiner Affair.

An Australian Government cover up of institutional child abuse.

The blatant disregard from the Australian Government is an absolute disgrace and all those involved in the cover up should be investigated and prosecuted.

#DarkToLight #WWG1WGA

 The Heiner Affair is a perfect example of the evil that is in place at the heights of government and the lengths they will go to cover up crimes of child abuse. This horrible pattern exists throughout government systems worldwide.

@ScottMorrisonMP,
Open the Heiner case.

THE HUSTLE.

Fred stood with arms on his head looking at the motionless body of the hooker he barely met 2hours ago.

“My penis don put me for wahala.” He wailed.

“Guy, we need to dispose this body before daybreak” Efe suggested.

Brethren, Issa Crazy thread.
#feeltheeagle
Fred hustled for years without reward. Every available option failed. Living from hand to mouth was a miracle as the chances of surviving the next day became a gamble.
His only escape was ‘Corporate begging.’
He laced his shoe, tucked in his shirt and set off for the daily hustle.
