That's all nice and dandy while he's there to support that zoo he built. And when he's not -- well, you'd better hope he documented the monstrosity rigorously. From business point of view having a well-established system with availability of specialists on the market and presence of support -- like, say, Azure Stack, makes much more sense than the pay-less-now-pay-google-times-more-later DIY approach you seem to champion here.

Come on, Amazon: If you're going to copy open-source code for a new product, at least credit the creator
"There is a mention buried in the NOTICE.txt file bundled with the CloudWatch extension that credits Headless Recorder, under its previous name "puppeteer-recorder," as required by the license. But there's an expectation among open source developers that biz as big as AWS should show more courtesy."
'Nuff said. And no, Amazon has no obligation to promote the open-source software they use. Clickbait article pure and simple. You can do better, El Reg.

Re: Whre's the part
Oh really?
Let's take a closer look at them then:
1. Russia and Poland don't share a border
Guess what, they actually don't if you don't take Kaliningrad Oblast , which is an external enclave, into account. Google Maps is your friend here.
2. Modern Russia would like to annex Poland
That's so ridiculous that I don't even have a refute, actually. Can you support your statement with any evidence so that I could have something to refute?

Microsoft forks out $3m in back pay settlement to make Feds' hiring discrimination probe go away
Re: I know structural racism when I see. And I'm looking at it right now.
Could it be that black people are undereducated and less achieving (for a variety of reasons)? Yes. Is it Microsoft's problem? No. Government should fix their own shit, not require commercial entities to tolerate mediocrity for political reasons.
Re: re: Companies should continue (erm, return to?..) to hire the best person for the job
> As long as it's me and my mates.
Your presuppositions are flabbergasting, matey. I repeat: the best person for the job should take it, regardless of their inborn variables, and don't you twist my words. Your resistance to the fact that people can be unfit for a technical job tells much of your own aptitude. Or, rather, lack thereof.
Find me an example of such a proven case where a person was found to be discriminated on a basis of their characteristics other than merit, I dare you.
Correlation does not imply causation and such statistical exercices will not stand in court as well. Companies should continue (erm, return to?..) to hire the best person for the job, not the best person to fill a certain quota. If you disagree, I wish you would get into the hands of an incomptenent doctor when the time for that comes.
And those people that were not hired by Microsoft were not the best fit, I assure you. If they were competitive on the market, they a) would never work for government, b) would never sue. The little crybabies expected they would be taken unconditionally because of their minority status and they weren't. And good riddance, nobody needs incompetent litigatious whiners on the job.
I have checked the files. Microsoft allegedly breached Executive Order 11246, which states (most relevant part):
======
The contractor will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin. The contractor will take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment, without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin. Such action shall include, but not be limited to the following: employment, upgrading, demotion, or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship. The contractor agrees to post in conspicuous places, available to employees and applicants for employment, notices to be provided by the contracting officer setting forth the provisions of this nondiscrimination clause.
The contractor will, in all solicitations or advancements for employees placed by or on behalf of the contractor, state that all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin.
======
And it's simply impossible to prove that a person has been refused the position because of the aforementioned qualities and not because of their lack of merit. MS is just chickenshit to lose the government contract. Wrongly so, because you should never give in to terrorists, lest they will continue terrorizing you for all eternity.
