This seems to be a good move towards a more stable revenue generator for Docker, the company, but I'm more interested in what the long-term Docker ecosystem implications are.

I think Docker is just passing through the early adopter status in terms of actual production usage (it's much more mature in its lifecycle for dev), and having one of many cloud Docker providers owned by Docker might have a chilling effect on other 'container in the cloud' providers using Docker as their primary container format/platform.
> You probably saw the compelling story on CNN that a nutrition professor ate only Twinkies for 10 weeks and lost 27 pounds! Except they didn’t disclose one important fact — he got paid by Coca-Cola. Perhaps “Coke-Funded Nutrition Professor Tries to Prove Junk Food Healthy” is now a more appropriate title. And his surprising finding that junk food can be eaten without consequence: perfectly on message for Coca-Cola.

And? Did he did he supplement the diet by eating Coca-Cola's money as a source of fiber? Because it still sounds like he only ate twinkies and lost weight.

Or are you suggesting that his data was falsified?

True in theory, but as long as each TableRow implements the PureRenderMixin and the Table render itself is efficient, you're going to need a lot more than a thousand rows before React has any trouble hitting 60fps in my experience.

But if you can't meet both those conditions, that sort of thing definitely can get quite slow.

tax-income is first "taken" from the citizens, then the government produces services with mediocre-to-bad performance. It is generally mediocre-to-bad because there are no customer-pressure to excellence in govt. provided services. People do not pay directly, services seems to be "free", so everybody accept them as they are and nobody complains. (e.g. DMV)

The European intelligence agencies were trading info with the NSA, so European companies can be under the same sorts of threats. It's a red herring.

But the court wasn't asked to decide about the actions of the intelligence agencies, it was asked to decide on a complaint against Facebook.

Personally I think this is really about protectionism and the NSA provides a convenient excuse given European intelligence agency involvement.

On the contrary; if anything, it was the Safe Harbour process that was supported on a convenient excuse, which the Commission allowed despite being clear from the start that the US didn't offer the necessary privacy protections to comply with the Directive. The court has just stated the obvious.
This sounds like just trying to smear the guy by association, but try to contradict the actually findings of this experiment.
Agree with the sentiment. Docker needs to build a product around the runtime, [build, deploy, manage], and then monetize that. It's the only long term play that makes sense. I also interestingly see them as the only company after redhat to truly be able to take on support subscription and perhaps drive huge steady revenue streams from that. The reason I say that is because this really the next logical OS shift. Docker, containers, etc will be that pervasive next layer and you can bet companies will pay for the support.

No offense meant to Aphyr, whose work is awesome, but conflicts of interest are incredibly corrosive. The sales cycle for consulting services requires a "gotta keep the customer happy" attitude. That's hard to square with truly impartial judgment. It's not that you give in to the dark side; once you take somebody's money you're no longer impartial, so you end up having to try to simulate it.

It's even harder to square with the appearance of impartial judgment. What if a product is honestly great? If we decide that he's being fair because he says both positive and negative things, he has an incentive to create the appearance of fairness rather than actual fairness.

There's a reason that systems where truth is important (e.g., legal proceedings, medicine, science) have complicated rules around conflicts of interest. I hope he finds a way to find funding that doesn't put either his judgment or his reputation at risk. Consider, e.g., Consumer Reports: they get money from their subscribers, not advertisers or manufacturers. Maybe he could let database users fund all his public Jepsen work.

I'd suggest a conflict of interest makes his results suspect.
I generally agree with your major thesis which is that the laws need to be consistent and fair. Clearly the majority of Americans see no harm in an occasional toke, and the majority indeed have tried MJ. That in itself argues MJ should be made legal.

The one argument that the police might make against legalization is that it deprives them of a useful tool -- an immoral tool, but nonetheless vital -- for getting scumbags off the street.

Example: The cops stop a guy who they basically know committed a murder or a rape or some other violent crime, but they don't have the evidence to hold him. He'd call his lawyer, the lawyer would come in and make sure he's held for no more than the maximum number of hours, then he'd be freed and nothing gained by anyone. But if they can nail him on possession, they at least can get him off the streets for some days, weeks, or months, while they gather the evidence to really put him away.

Not really the spirit of the law, but it works. That said, I'd rather we focus more resources on the few sociopaths and violent types out there, and clear out the over-crowded prisons.
EU intelligence agencies are under EU law (more or less). The US Gov/NSA is not under EU law. So you can't say that data in the US is compatible with EU law.

There are laws against retaining user-data that the user has explicitly requested to be deleted and Google spends a lot of engineering time making sure, that is really the case (which is non-trivial e.g. with failing drives that you can't access anymore. You still have to delete the data from them, meaning you must know, at every point in time, the physical drive that a users data is saved on). I think 30 days is the guarantee they make.

Sure, just like any other high-level executive function which is basically my entire point.

If you ever find yourself in a position of executive authority, you'll realize pretty quick that direct action is usually a disaster in the making when dealing with internal matters. However, by using indirect methods through key designates, you can actually get quite a bit done even in the worst bureaucracies.

By contrast, direct action is often required when dealing with external issues. Executive heads tend to deal only with other executive heads. This is true in business, and doubly true in politics.

I just don't think many people realize just how much legal corporate and government "business" is created by the insane war on drugs, and I am convinced this is the reason why it continues.

Like I mentioned before, I just spent 6 months in the deep bowels of the criminal justice system for drug possession here in Florida, and those observations have shaped this view.

The cops, the judges, the lawyers on both sides (who eventually become the politicians that make the laws), the clerks, the guards (do they hate being called that!), the jail/prison administrators...they ALL are making pretty awesome livings from the war on drugs, and have zero repeat ZERO incentive to change anything.

The problem is not a legal one, it's economic.

The public is fed the propaganda of wrecked lives and violence to keep the status quo...until the population somehow wakes up and sees how the CJS is totally broken as perhaps even more corrupt then the drug game, I doubt anything can change.
> Government officials in Washington and Brussels will need to act quickly, and we should all hope that Congress will enact promptly the Judicial Redress Act, so European citizens have appropriate access to American courts.

Well, Microsoft is wrong here to believe that the Judicial Redress Act [1] will be sufficient. The CJEU has required "essentially equivalent" privacy protections for EU citizens as they get in the EU.

The US Privacy Act does not give them that, so this Judicial Redress Act is a hit and a miss.

The US needs to pass a much stronger privacy law that is "at least" as good as the one in the EU, if it wants its companies to continue to get EU citizen data (and I assume it does). It can start by finally reforming the ECPA for the 21st century.

Only those that haven't worked in DoD / federal systems could ever think that laziness / stupidity is not a major root cause of so many DoD IT project failures. There's a lot of successes when using smaller, elite contractors but complexity intertwines with stupidity as larger contractors must be brought in to handle the bureaucracy and their hiring standards are basically abysmal. Why? They were very much incentivized to hire butts in seats on contracts historically, not to be effective at executing them to technical satisfaction.

Someone needs to call out DoD for what it really is in the US - federal Public Works program that's approved by neoconservatives.
In 100 years we're going to look back and realize what a waste of time and effort corporate income taxes are. And what amount of time was wasted trying to levy and avoid them.

In the end, you can recover the same money by taxing dividends and income accordingly, and it's far more difficult to hide those (a person's residency is less ambiguous than a corporation; and while you can try to play games, with proper enforcement you will end up in jail for doing it).

Of course any politician will get castigated for suggesting removing the tax entirely, but that's just politics and not sound economic policy.

Can't confirm how well espeak works, since I didn't try it, but I have tried pyttsx on Windows. (pyttsx is a Python library which uses SAPI5 on Windows and espeak on Linux.)

Worked okay for me. Not tested a lot though. Here's my simple Python snippet for trying pyttsx on Windows:

(Taking terminology from opentreetmap), a cycle lane is part of the main road separated from it using paint, a cycle path is separated physically using a curb, parked cars, etc.

I have no problem with cycle lanes, I do have problems with cycle paths. To give a few examples:

Many zebra crossing have traffic lights that only apply to cars. Big mess.

Many cycle paths now have traffic lights placed such that cyclists waiting for a red light block cross traffic (bikes and pedestrians)

On many intersections, taking a left turn with a bike now takes waiting for the traffic light twice.

There are now many cycle paths with bikes on the wrong side of the road. Certainly on roundabouts that's an accident waiting to happen.

In many cases pedestrians overflow from side walks into the cycle path. It used to be that there was nice layer of parked cars preventing that.

Cars taking a right turn are a bigger risk.

A good thing is that parked cars taking off don't hit bikes. But that seems to be it.

Microsoft are at the centre of another case which will really decide how badly EU-US trade is affected:

> Microsoft stands in contempt of court right now for refusing to hand over to US authorities, emails held in its Irish data centre. This case will surely go to the Supreme Court and will be an extremely important determination for the cloud business, and any company or individual using data centre storage. If Microsoft loses, US multinationals will be left scrambling to somehow, legally firewall off their EU-based data centres from US government reach.

— from http://www.irishtimes.com/business/ecj-ruling-on-irish-priva...

At the moment, data can be held within the EU by US companies and it's all ok. If Microsoft is forced to hand over emails stored within the EU to the US government, then all bets are off.

In that future, it may not even be enough to have an EU-based subsidiary of a US company hold data within the EU, since it'll have been shown that the U.S. government can coerce them.

And we like to talk about large companies like Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, Google etc. But they can throw money, lawyers and engineers at this problem. But the thousands of US-based SaaS apps do not have that luxury. Likewise, there are thousands of EU-based small SaaS app that will have everything from their hosting stack, to their bug tracker, to their communications tools taken off them.

> Because the stuff used as illegal drugs is actually dangerous to health

Recreational drugs are not inherently any more dangerous than the chemicals produced for medicinal use. They are the same kind of thing, recreational drugs just happen to be used for, well, recreation.

Some recreational chemicals are even less dangerous than drugs you can get OTC. For example, LSD has a stellar safety record. There are no recorded overdoses on it, and no known long term physical side effects. It is impossible to get addicted to LSD, because frequent use builds up a massive short term tolerance extremely quickly.

Contrast that with acetaminophen. It is widely and cheaply available, overused by a large number of people and it does some serious damage to your liver. You can also overdose on it.

Also, the pharmaceutical industry already produces many chemicals that are used recreationally, like opiates, benzodiazepines, amphetamines(including methamphetamine), various other stimulants, ketamine, DXM etc.

Infact, the only class of popular recreational compounds they don't produce happen to be the comparatively much safer psychedelics including tryptamines, phenylethylamines and lysergamides.
Good point. For example I remember etcd and Consul devs responded and fixed a few issues, after the test came out.

A lot of the issues with unhealthy food are mitigated by a caloric deficit. Additionally, almost regardless of diet if you lose a significant amount of fat your markers are going to improve.

Better demonstrations would be:
* Compare people eating the same number of calories below requirements, but one on the twinkie diet and one on a healthy diet to see comparative changes in markers
* Perform the same experiment as before, but this time with both groups eating the same number of calories above maintenance.
> I guess I always knew this data was being recorded, but honestly I would rather that Google not have released it via this interface. My Google account is not as well-secured as Google's backend, and if someone compromises my account I don't want them to be able to download recordings of my voice saying things (I probably have enough google searches on voice to make a soundboard for anything).

I would argue, though, that the majority of people want to keep control of their data as much as possible. The responsibility to take care of it and it's security is just a corollary of that.
If the company currently employing the employee is weakened more by that person leaving than they would've been by paying them enough to stay, it's just bad business to have paid any less.

I can't feel sorry for companies that underpay and then get harmed for it; it's dumb and they deserve to lose.
