Can you describe what her philosophy was originally?

There is a trademark on the Flex name, which I believe originally belonged to Adobe but was later transferred to the Apache Foundation:

I don't think anyone in the container dev community thinks that containers means LXC only. Even back in 2013, docker's front end api was designed to support other runtimes such as VMs and chroot. Perhaps this is a marketing story gone awry?

Have you asked archive.org?

For reference, the articles this author cites do not appear to search or reference gao.gov.

Also, the original query according to the author is: (gao.gov do not distribute pdf) which basically captures all sites that have gao.gov, do, not, distribute and pdf listed anywhere in any order.

The issue the author speaks about is both alarming and important, but unfortunately gives us a broken example.

[edit] I also do not see the relevance of the author's including verbiage of Trump being White after discussing Obama's alleged lack of action. Are they implying it's a race issue? Or implying that Trump's followers think Trump might do something because he is White? Unclear and likely irrelevant.

How do you know it will be substandard?

From my travels to New Zealand, I'd argue their single-payer health care experience is overall better than here. You can buy private insurance there which supplements the public system and lets you visit private hospitals outside of the public systems, but you don't need it for emergencies or standard GP checkups. Most people don't bother since the public system is good.

And from a tax perspective, according to the BBC, the US effectively taxes an average income single person at 22.7% while NZ taxes at 16.4% [1]. For the top bracket, in US it is 39.6% while in NZ it is 33% [2][3]. I'd argue they are getting a much better deal than us. And don't forget the US numbers are before health insurance is paid.

So, it is definitely possible to get a good system. I think one of our major problems as a country is that we lack transparency which undermines trust and makes it easier to corrupt the system. You can't run a good health care system without transparency and accountability, regardless of whether it is a public or private system.

Cheers!

You're right, I do.

Not sure if this is still the case. Digital ocean had a pricing structure for bandwidth, but was not charging for that used bandwidth because they did not have a way to show how much bandwidth has been used in a billing cycle. Best to ask them if this is still the case.

I personally don't use AWS for personal projects because of the lack of a cap. I would rather see my system suspended rather than continue to pay beyond my budget.

The longest running light bulb is in Livermore, CA and has been running since 1901. It's installed and maintained in a fire station.

The increase in traffic in some areas can be a safety issue. Close to where I live is a lower school. During rush hour, many drivers choose to drive down the parallel side street for about 5 or 6 blocks to bypass a minute of traffic. Often, these drivers speed and ignore pedestrians, stop signs and cross walks. Just recently, a child was hit by one of these drivers in front of the school and suffered major injury.

The community has organized with the city to add in more stop signs and is attempting to get speed bumps put in place that would control the speed of the traffic. Everyone understands that they cannot legally stop someone from driving down the street but they can add in traffic controls to lower the risk to those who live in the area and make it less appealing to leave the main road designed for higher traffic.

In our case, it isn't about owning the streets, but rather is a matter of safety.

If you want to avoid libpnet or libpcap, you can use socket and recv directly.

Here's a quick example demonstrating socket & recv capturing all packets on all interfaces.

Looks like you have a name collision with the Raft Consensus Protocol. Although, it does look like your usage is based on the Raft language which appears to predates raft consensus. You might want to mention somewhere that this is unrelated.

Overall looks like a great project. Will give it a shot.

Netflix has boxes that are colocated at some ISP locations to stream videos closer to your location. Maybe fast.com connects to those systems.

One such feature is the use of seccomp, which removes all but 4 system calls:

read, write, sigreturn and exit

This is used by many browsers and apps to reduce the impact of security flaws and untrusted code (such as js from a website).

Admin, can we get a black bar for this? Marvin Minsky is widely referred to as the "Founding Father of AI."

Have you ever seen a container's system time deviate from a host? This makes sense with boot2docker since it runs in a VM but I can't think of a reason this would happen in a container.

I'd prefer to see chronic drunk drivers stop doing so and rely on something like this instead. I suspect the cost of paying for taxis will be less than the cost of all the emergency services, post crash analysis, and road modifications when someone is killed on the road. ( The average cost is 4.3 million per fatality according to the National Safety Council http://blog.safeauto.com/how-much-do-car-accidents-cost-the-... )

[edit for typo fix]

Technically, crashes caused by Google's self driving car is not "12 per 1 million," it is "0 per 1 million." which is significantly better than "1.85 per million" for humans. Inversely, crashes caused by humans involving a self driving car is 12 per 1 million. Not a good record for humans. :)

It's also important to take note where the driving is. In densely populated regions, you are more likely to have minor accidents such as fender benders than on the open road. However, the open road is more likely to get you killed if you are involved in an accident due to speed.

All this "techy-BS" is not belittling humans by creating self driving cars. I strongly believe the opposite is true, humans are amazing because we can build artificial intelligent systems to handle these kinds of tasks for us and let us focus on bigger and better problems than steering a car. Your same argument falls flat with other technologies. Why have a computer add numbers when we have a wonderful brain that can do the same? I argue that it is because we build systems to augment and work around our deficiencies. One of those deficiencies is our driving skill. Over 30,000 in the US alone die due to auto accidents. Self driving cars has the potential to eliminate most of these deaths. Ideally, we'll get to a point where a death on the road makes national news because of its rarity.

These haven't just sprung into existence. They have been worked on consistently for at least two decades. Carnegie Mellon has research dating back to the mid 1980s on this topic.

Self driving cars have been driven up and down various parts of the SF bay region for several years now. Google's self driving cars have driven over 1 million miless. They report that their vehicles have been involved in 12 accidents, none of which are the fault of the vehicle's self driving capabilities.

The only reason they will appear to 'pop' into the consumer market overnight is because this technology is politically charged and simultaneously so important to society that it is being overengineered to improve success and safety. The moment self driving cars has its first accident after being released to consumers, the media will likely flip, ignoring mountains of data demonstrating how much more safe these vehicles are to provide a sensationalized report on the dangers of self driving cars. The safer they are and the more data backing this up, the less likely this will derail the technology.

LucasArts used to be a very well known game developer studio. Many of the early star wars games were very well received and highly innovative. Star Wars: Tie Fighter is consistently considered one of the best games of all time. They also released one of the earliest games to make use of a dedicated GPU in PCs. Over time, the quality dropped off and left many fans disappointed.

There were still a few gems after 2000, e.g. Knight of the Old Republic and Battlefield. However, the sequel to KotOR was released unfinished. This era seems to be filled with collaborations where other companies performed much of the work. I suspect using external resources caused a drop in in-house talent and ultimately left the studio unable to compete against newer and more ambitious studios.

I hope this marks a return of an innovative and competitive LucasArts. It would be wonderful to have the same level of early innovation back and associated with the star wars brand.

Why incur the cost and complexity of a channel if what you are doing doesn't require it? Go's sync.Once just implements the check-lock-check pattern. It doesn't use a channel in the background.

In fact, it is better to use sync.Once to reduce the risk getting the semantics of check-lock-check incorrect. :)

[edit: It occurred to me that the parent may be speaking about architecture and not about the singleton's design. From an architectural perspective, there are much better patterns in golang than a singleton.]

This becomes more troublesome when modification of the device is made illegal. Forced obsolescence with legal lockout when attempting to "repair" the device.

Perhaps we should call obsolescence over time as the market changes as natural obsolescence?

The trick is to not pull them into core. Let others curate a set of high quality plugins. This is exactly what is happening. Examples include Microsoft's Visual Studio Code and Facebooks Nuclide.

This pattern is also not uncommon. There are many high quality linux modules and distributions built on the linux kernel.

It is likely atom will take a similar architectural approach. Make it easy to build and add plugins and let the community shepherd them.

You can think of object storage as a type of key value storage optimized for storing unstructured data at scale. These include but are not limited to images, video, backups, and binary blobs.

You can contrast this to other key value stores such as memcache which is designed to cache data in memory or Cassandra which is designed for storing large quantities of small, structured data.

Any word on whether any of their standard APIs will also be released open source?

You're probably thinking about openkeyval.org which is now defunct.

I really enjoy working with meteor. It's easy to get started and gives you an easy way to bind your UI and data model together easily.

Personally, I'd hire a lawyer and also schedule a meeting with my local state rep. A rep can also help put pressure on the top of the chain to help get results.
