[Old] Access IPOs ☛ Lacework Stock Was Acquired by Fortinet, no IPO
Lacework was founded in 201 by Vikram Kapoor. His background in databases and security (Oracle, Bromium) led him to become an entrepreneur-in-residence at Sutter Hill Ventures. Kapoor believes data is the new oil, meaning those capturing lots of it can refine and extract value to reduce vulnerabilities.
The company’s strategic cloud partnerships include Snowflake, Google Cloud, AWS (Amazon), and Microsoft Azure.

[Old] Omer Singer ☛ Lacework’s AI Didn’t Work
Could anyone have predicted the spectacular downfall of cloud security heavyweight Lacework? Leading VCs had poured over a billion dollars of funding into the company, attracting high-profile tech executives, top-tier engineering talent, and over 1,000 employees at its peak. What they missed about the company’s AI strategy is instructive for a cybersecurity industry counting more than ever on artificial intelligence.

Gordon's Notes ☛ The End Times have come for the Pinboard.in bookmarking service
10 years is an eternity on the web. Pinboard had a good run, but it too is passing. I have my archives and you can still download JSON or HTM versions of past bookmarks. I might wish for a more graceful end but Pinboard was a good service while it lasted and there is a clear data exit if not a clear replacement. Thank you, Maciej, for the value you delivered to me.

The Register UK ☛ Redis users considering alternatives after licensing move
According to a survey by open source database support biz Percona, the move to the Redis Source Available License (RSALv2) and Server Side Public License (SSPLv1) has motivated almost three quarters of the 151 developers and database managers questioned to look for alternatives.
In March, Redis — the company formerly known as Redis Labs — switched from the BSD 3-clause license, a more permissive arrangement which allows developers to make commercial use of the code without paying for the popular value-key database.
