Accidentally took a workshop on this at a tea festival a number of years back.
Turns out the “fermenting” of tea is mostly self contained. Autolysis, I think might be the word?
If you recall that caffeine is an insecticide this makes sense. The caffeine is stored as a time bomb waiting for some insect to chew. Mastication mixes the caffeine crystals and the enzymes already present in the leaf, which then render it soluble and bang, dead insect. To process tea you just need to activate the enzymes the right amount at the right temperatures, and then dry the leaves before they can rot.
If you get a proper oolong loose leaf, and let it steep long enough, you will find what looks like whole leaves in your cup. Not unlike those little dinosaur sponges they sell to kids. Just add water.
Actually, they are NOT entitled to dividends. That's part of the myth, and is covered in the book. You should give it a read. The author covers some historical cases which are often misinterpreted, and lead to the confusion. In the case of dividends entitlement, the case you're drawing from is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_v._Ford_Motor_Co.
She's a lawyer and professor in precisely this area. You could read the wikipedia article, and try to confirm your bias. Or, you can read the book, written by an expert, and broaden your perspective.
You’re (perhaps intentionally) confusing profits and dividends. Based on the type stock a shareholder owns, they are absolutely entitled to their share of dividends.
The authors point is that a company is not obliged to pay all its profits in devisends. Without any proper explaination, the author draws the conclusion that shareholders aren’t entitled to any of the companies profits. This completely ignores to irrefutable truths
1) Not paying dividends does not automatically mean not maximising shareholders benefit. There’s unlimited ways a company can invest their profits in things other than dividends that will still benefit shareholders.
2) The shareholders control the company’s decision making. They elect the board, and the board controls the entire company.
The authors entire argument relies on pointless semantics and a highly selective view of reality. The same selective view you’ve displayed by acting as if profits and dividends are the same thing, and ignoring corporate governance structures.
There is quite a difference between Free Software, which has the user rights as its main objective, and Open Source, which has the developers rights as its main objective.
Sup Jorge! You named the big ones. There are a bunch of others, as well. IMO, try to get your comparison down to just two. That's a reasonable set to dive deep on.
For a lighter overview, I think the big features are: team workflow, security, and CI/CD pipeline.
Team workflow is just how easy it is to get going / share with your team. IMO, ECR or GCR will have a natural edge here if you're already on their cloud. Tagging is important too, but I think everyone supports that.
Security is both the details of transport (SSL, etc), and whether your containers are getting scanned. Quay.io and Docker Hub both do security scanning for private repos. Quay has a slight edge in that public repos also get scanned thanks to Clair. I believe GCR and ECR lag behind here.
CI/CD pipeline is important because your registry becomes a big chunk of your build. This is what's going to really take time to investigate and dig into. You want to make sure it's easy to add hooks to git or w/e, and troubleshoot build issues (good logging, auditing, etc).
Full disclosure I work at CoreOS and with the Quay folks. That said, I also think they're constantly probing into cool frontiers. I think Clair changed registry security. The team's also started doing cool stuff for k8s users [1].
Lastly, I'm not totally sure on this last bit, but I think Docker Hub has a slight usability edge if you're on Docker EE (swarm).
Summarizing: I think big cloud vendors will naturally always lag a little behind. They'll make up for it with convenience if you're already on their cloud. Registries whose main purpose is to be a registry (like Quay) will naturally innovate a little faster.
I've just tried it, and it is absolutely the same as Droid Sans Mono (which I love and use), barring the extra line spacing. They haven't even fixed the kerning problem with "w".
I've met Keith a few weeks ago at the NodeJS NYC meetup. Great dude, who genuinely wants to make development better. Polybit seems particularly cool for front-end / designers, mobile devs, and anyone else who'd rather build an app than fret over the high availability, scalability, or etc.
What I'm saying is: cool idea + Keith's very approachable if ya wanna pick his brain about the design :)
I want to second this. There is no doubting Keith's enthusiasm and attitude for both development and helping end users. If you have any questions or issues to raise, I'm pretty sure Keith will do his best :-)
It's a term that has been used for a few years. It does not connote political and social change -- you are foisting your narrower understanding of the word 'activist' on to it.
Yep, this is essentially the biggest piece. Using CTEs and having building blocks that are easy to logically follow is the single biggest thing you could do.
