Re: Dear Vulcan
Just imagine what he could have achieved if he'd been doing something worthwhile all that time. He could have fixed global warming or something.

There's quite a lot of options. OpenHAB is my personal preference but there's also HomeAssistant and Domoticz. If you want voice control there's Mycroft. Node Red is pretty easy to use for visually programming control logic.
The problem is finding the IoT hardware that works without talking to its own cloud services. My smart plugs have been reflashed with the open source Tasmota firmware but the manufacturer has subsequently patched the hole that enabled that so newly purchased devices would be locked in to their cloud.
I've been getting electronic prescriptions for a couple of years now. When I go the pharmacy they print it out for me to complete the form on the back. All this has achieved is to move the paper from GP to pharmacy. I mean, it's quicker and less effort for me but it's not paperless.
I would imagine that they're running through a series of privilege escalation attacks eg compromise a low ranking staffers' PC through spear-phishing/watering-hole attacks, the use that as a foothold to attack the next level of security. By the time they get to the actual money-controlling systems they are so far inside the bank's network that they're indistinguishable from the legitimate whitelisted traffic.
We've got open standards coming out of our ears already (HL7, FHIR, openEHR to name but a few) - a few less standards would be a good start.
In some cases this was because it was simply to early to tell, but in others it wasn't clear what the intended benefits were – seven projects didn't have a business case, for instance.
How do you even start a project without a business case? This is, like, day one session one of any project management course.
I could have been clearer in my question. The full quote from Mongo's blog is : "The SSPL clarifies the conditions for making MongoDB publicly available as a service, to ensure we can continue to invest in building MongoDB for our users rather than in costly litigation over enforcing the AGPL."
Surely it'll be just as costly whether they're enforcing the AGPL or their own slightly modified AGPL? I don't read their new section as being any clearer only more expansive.
