Pretty similar. The main difference from the architecture standpoint is that Enterprise DC/OS uses Mesos+Marathon for container orchestration and OpenShift uses K8s. The other functionalities are mostly overlapping.

There is also an OSS version of DC/OS minus some security features. Also, historically Mesos has had better support for running stateful workloads but K8s is catching up too.

Recently, DC/OS announced support for K8s too which is similar to the K8s announcement from Docker.

hmm, Is it that binary? What if the OP lied to get higher numbers from the prospective employer.

Usually, most employers do ask for your existing pay slip/old W2 along with your accepted signed offer letter to ensure due diligence.

The Byzantine Generals Problem by Lamport et al is a must read for anyone interested in distributed systems.

Some of the others that have already been mentioned on this thread:

- Time, Clocks, and the Ordering of Events in a Distributed System

- Paxos Made Simple

I am amazed. In fact, I still remember when someone told me in 2011'ish that they are worth ~30b$; I had the same reaction.

Does anyone know how they justify their valuation? Is it mostly by acquiring other smaller companies (Kayak etc.) and who are the other big competitors to Priceline?

I would remember their Quixey Challenges. They had some nice problems as part of them and if you were able to spot the bug correctly, you got $100 + a hoodie.

I recall that there had been a new ruling (Jan 17) on this though limited to people with an approved I140 petition. This ensures that your petition remains valid and you are eligible for a transfer even if your existing employer withdraws your petition. That should hopefully provide some respite for people who were terminated.

AFAICT, there are no companies that allow this since its against the law. Do you have some links where I can read more on this or what companies allow it?

EDIT: Thanks everyone for clearing it out. Looks like it's allowed and documented here: https://www.murthy.com/2011/06/27/h1b-faqs/ (Ques. 5). Not an official USCIS link though.

Can anyone shed more light on what happens in the following scenario:

You get terminated/leave your current job and activate the new 60 day grace period to find a new job. Provided that a H1B transfer to a new employer can take more than 60 days now. Does one need to leave the country forcefully?

> Also them starting the project along with the knowledge they have internally scaling containers helps.

FWIW, Most of this are advertising gimmicks though and Google has a pretty different internal infrastructure for orchestrating containers that has hardly much to do with K8s.

That has been true for many years that is _technically_ you would loose your status the day you lost your job and leave the country. However, there were ways around this.

This has been recently changed though giving a grace period of 60 days and goes into effect from Jan 17:

Curious, why can't you change jobs during the GC process while waiting for your priority date to become current? I thought it was easily do-able?

Most companies already pay for the attorney expensed once you change employers i.e., PERM, I140 etc.

There are already ongoing efforts that are trying to get rid of that dependency too:

- https://github.com/kelseyhightower/cri-o-tutorial

- Mesos already has something called UCR that allows one to run docker images minus the dependency on the docker runtime. (http://mesos.apache.org/documentation/latest/mesos-container...)

Disclaimer: I work at Mesosphere on Mesos.

The concept of custom controllers looks similar to what schedulers are in Mesos. It's nice to see the two communities taking a leaf out of each other's books e.g., Mesos would introduce experimental support for task groups (aka Pods) in 1.1.

Well I think Amazon just played the tit for tat card here. Historically, Google took the first slab by banning Amazon from it's app store: http://techcrunch.com/2014/12/11/google-removes-amazons-app-...

No wonder Amazon is now reciprocating by explicitly disallowing chromecast devices on its own site.

tl;dr; Google ain't a saint/good citizen either. No one is.

Yeah, I learnt about it from a fellow co-worker and have been using it for the last 6 months. It's pretty seamless to get started with it and has offered better returns for me then the LC's own auto investing strategy.

You can also use 3rdparty API's like LendingRobot that promise higher returns than LendingClub's own auto-investing feature.

> you hire a H1B employee and they're gonna stick around for a few years. Even if the job sucks.

Can you elaborate a bit more on this? H1b's are free to change jobs. There is nothing that prevents them from doing so.

Wondering if any of the current/ex-employees were allowed to liquidate their holding?

> All it does is drive down wages for everyone and hurt everyone except for the 1% at the top

Can you elaborate a bit more on this? Doesn't the initial LCA application with the Dept. of Labor requires you to submit wage details that conclusively prove that the offered wages are as per market norms.

Wondering how you go about achieving dramatic bounce rate reductions?

Is there some leaked "source" that claims that Satoshi is American too ?

PS: Getting kidnapped for ransom is not so uncommon in third world countries.

I wonder if anyone has implemented a benchmarking library for at least the trivial/used operations between AWS/GCE/Azure ?

Kinesis is basically Kafka as a service. IIUC, Kinesis Firehose is just a way to ingest data into S3 buckets/Redshift and Firehose would give you the goodies like monitoring/fault tolerance etc.

I know of some companies in the financial domain that still use their array based implementations. I thought they were on their way out but they seem to be rather doing well ?

Are there any other products other then the C++ STL implementation + their array library they are known for ?

Is this auto-generated ?

How old is this article ?

From the content this looks pretty old, like India having 25 states etc.

Twitter had a Q1 revenue of $436 million. Doesn't it make it a $X0 billion business or am I missing something ?

The main concern to investors is primarily the growth and their ability to warrant a premium price on the stock.

This if the first time I have heard of neovim. Can you elaborate a bit more on the pros and cons ?

The neovim site had this:

Is it ready to download and run now with all the features?

No. Although some features are a work in progress, Neovim isn't at a stable point. Using Neovim should be done with caution as things may change.

That explains it. Thanks !
