Most people don't realize that most varieties of tea come from the same plant https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camellia_sinensis

Your question is still a good one, but hoping the above context makes the "so tea as a blanket category just... works?" less absurd.

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.

This.

Free Software sounds cheap or trashy. It requires explanation. "Free as in beer, and Free as ..."

Open Source is a marketing term to avoid that stigma.

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 wanted to try the Noto mono out for programming, but it looks like the `O` is indistinguishable from the `0` :/

Otherwise, it's a nice looking font for the editor.

Congrats Keith :D

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 :)

Hope this goes well for ya dude!
