Am I? I think from a selfish perspective, I am making a huge mistake. I have no doubt that having kids is a lot of fun, which I will miss, and also when I get old, I will miss someone keeping an eye on me. (Technically, you don't need your own kids for that but our society is, for better or worse, structured that way.) And I hope next generation will be very slightly better off (less resource contention) because of my choice.
Also, to clarify another thread which is no longer there, I am not anti-natalist, but "anatalist" - I believe in personal choice in this matter. I also don't think anatalism is hereditary, but acquired from intellectual reflection of the world.
> On March 24, 2017, a few months after his initial copying of Splunk’s source code,
Mr. Sharp resigned from Splunk to co-found Cribl with Dritan Bitincka and Ledion Bitincka— both former software architects at Splunk.
Except that they didn't because initially the had created a company called diag.io that was focused on troubleshooting fault configurations.
I don't think Splunk claims will hold in court. As said running Wireguard would too just fine.
Mr. Sharp posted a derivation of Splunk’s
proprietary and confidential S2S source code to his personal github webpage (a publicly accessible
website for sharing source code). Mr. Sharp named this derived code “go-S2S.”
Although Splunk provides HEC for third parties to use, Splunk maintains other
aspects of its software as proprietary. One example of such proprietary software is the “S2S”
protocol. S2S stands for “Splunk-to-Splunk,” and this is software that Splunk itself uses to send
data to, or receive data from, Splunk Enterprise and other Splunk software and technologies.
Splunk does not support use of S2S by third parties, does not publish S2S’s source code, and does
not document S2S in a manner that facilitates third-party use of this protocol.
I am one of those people. There was a bonus for every patent granted. They were telling us that we need to big patent arsenal to fend off against IBM. It turned out that Splunk is IBM now.
I am against software patents and choose to ignore all pleadings from my employers regarding patent filings. IMO, the bonuses (~$1-2K) are not worth going against my views.
Your last sentence is rather dismissive and seems unnecessary to make your point. You're assuming that they share your views on software patents. They might not. Or at that time not realise the issue with software patents in the first place.
