Yeah, I agree that the load-balancer is important and not adequately addressed. I guess most people rig up their own set-up based on haproxy currently.

I don't get why you think I can't compare that group though. What should I compare Kubernetes with? The group represents the various approaches to clustering and orchestration that most people will consider for container deployments. They are all slightly different, which is what makes for an interesting comparison.
When you say fake steering do you mean power steering, or electronic assisted power steering?

Because the way I see it power steering itself is just as mechanical as hydraulic brakes; and electronic steering is a far more recent development than throttle-by-wire.

If you're willing to accept power steering it's not too hard to find vehicles w/ side curtain airbags. Lots of '01 Toyotas had side curtain airbags, and it wasn't until '02 that they started putting drive-by-wire in the Lexus lineup (much later for the rest of their lineup, I believe it was phased in over '03-'05 for Toyotas.)

I adore my '01 Camry. The 5S-FE is a bit sluggish compared to modern powertrains, but its bulletproof, insanely easy to work on, and drives quite smoothly. It'll be a cold day in hell when I have to replace that car with a glorified playstation controller.
Four Billion-Dollar Startups That Were Told Their Idea Was Stupid
It's sad to see some people get defensive and try to pit this as a "europe vs the US" thing, even bringing up the Utøya tragedy and Breivik. The article is just click bait, and sensationalism at its worst.

"Texas" is a slang to mean "wild west", like they say further into the article. I don't know why they try to pin it as "crazy". It doesn't have anything to do with stereotypes. It stems from old westerns and has been in our language for decades. "Texas" in the 60s and 70s was Bonanza, cowboys and spaghetti westerns for most people in Norway. The expression just stuck. That's how language works.

Government is a lot like any other entity. It will grow as big as it can. Even if you tax corporations and rich people more, the math for government promises still doesn't work out, government will still fleece the poor.

There definitely was austerity from the federal government. There was an across the board 10% cut to all spending.

How did the boxes open? Strictly on impact? How often was this done? Were the parachutes and boxes later cleaned up and reused? Did this curb the original issue, beaver over population? I would imagine that overpopulation means hundreds, if not, thousands of extra beavers. How much did this operation cost? Who thought of this? It seems like something a child would dream up as a solution.

lots of questions from that clip. I wonder if anyone looked at it and thought "they're going to be confused in the future when they watch this. lol" ?
1) Vaccinators can't access some regions of California because of violent resistance to vaccination.

Almost all sequencing centers will not hold your data much longer than a few months (and won't put it to any use in that time). The storage requirements are just too high for them to put them on tape and archive them long term. Companies like 23andme are obviously a different story.

EDIT: I'm talking about sequencing core labs that do sequencing as a service. They also have no need to keep the data because they don't necessarily have any metadata about the samples that they are sequencing.
Can You Get Smarter?
It's not based on stereotypes of Texas and Texans, but rather of the Wild West - as in the location of cowboy movies. There exists equivalent phrases refering to the Wild West directly, and at one point it seems "Texas" became (or perhaps already was) synonymous with "the wild west".

Speculation: in addition to cowbody movies, it probably has something to do with the norwegian book series Morgan Kane[1] from the 60s, as the phrase is mostly heard from people from around that time and before.

That's part of it. If you look at the early gates investments in disease, they tended to be high-technology solutions like direct attempt to make vaccines and deliver complex infrastructure. Most of these attempts failed pretty badly, which Gates finally thought deeply about, and he reorganized around impact based on outcomes, rather than what his preconcieved notions about what would work would be. He switched to bed nets and other more practical solutions. I believe he wrote about this change in thought at some point but I can't find the article.

> I don't think unemployment among 50 year olds is higher today than in 1990.

Unemployment numbers don't show it, because that only includes people looking for work. The missing 50-year-old workers are on disability and don't factor in to labor statistics. The Social Security Disability dole swelled from 5M in 2000 to 9M in 2015, nearly double. And it's fairly certain that these disability recipients skew older than the median age of the working population.

Here's the abstract from that document:

"This document describes a Tcl package named, rosea. Rosea is an execution architecture intended as the target for translating XUML models using Tcl as the implementation language. The package consists of a run time execution library that implements the XUML semantics and a domain specific configuration language that is used to specify the XUML domain model and generate the required data for the run time execution. Rosea uses TclRAL as the basis of its data architecture and that enables referential integrity constraint checking based on the XUML class diagram relationships and supports set-at-a-time operations on domain class instances. Processing is transactional and constraint violations result in rolling back the changes to a known good state."
fairness is a horrendous choice of words, but the one this article chose to use

there are many unfair side effects of current economics

look at taxes..

recently i read a major corporate entity paid 4k pounds in taxes in 2014(o). The top comment says:

TIL our small UK startup pays 10-20x more corp tax
.. Doing things honestly and by the book
is expensive in both money terms and time terms
(paying accountants)
Big corps .. make me feel like a fool.

though these corps are seen as equals in buraecratic lines, the expectations and avenues of utilising those regulations seems unfairly balanced

or look at fines..

if i get a parking ticket(i) for 100$, i may be unable to pay it right away with my zero savings and my 12k/yr income, someone making 80k+ a year will just pay the 100$ grievance and be done with it

i will have to start budgeting myself to make enough to pay the 100$ fine, but it will take time with bimonthly paychecks and in that time i will be punished with late fees only increasing the financial burden and time needed to accrue the funds

even if trying to do the right thing people punished further simply for economic circumstance

so though the two violators are seen as equal, the expectations and avenues of how to rectify the violations seems unfairly balanced

people making less end up paying more for the same violation due to the bureaucracy maintaining the violations

or i could use a payday loan(ii), another damning option

these are only two examples of areas where a conversation about fairness stead equality alters the direction of the conversation

I don't know about you, but the riots have very much turned me off to activism lately. There were riots single-digit blocks away from my Oakland apartment where people smashed up businesses that were innocent of any wrongdoing. Anything those people want and advocate now makes me think "Fuck you, more $$$ for da popo".

I don't care what they want, what they think, or what their grievances are.

As a first approximation: the topics you're interested in.

Citations indices, bibliographies, etc., are hugely useful. Finding widely-cited and influential papers is a good start.

The better approach IMO is to simply download it all, though selecting for corpii of more relevance. Journals which are embargoed, for example, as a first target. That was pretty much Aaron Swarz's approach.
The high-profile bloggers and reporters

ahem: http://valleywag.gawker.com/robert-scoble-in-recovery-going-...

Alexia Tsotsis (you misspelled her name in the article) has gone off to business school, and Scoble is in AA. I find it hard to give any credence to anything you say after this.

Also to be clear: I don't find Scoble's work particularly interesting. I think he's uncritical and offers little more than naked PR opportunities to companies hoping to tap into his ravenous mob of tech enthusiasts. But, it's not like I dislike him as a human being. I just wish he was more critical about the companies he shows off on Facebook, or wherever he's posting now.
What features do you want? (that arn't handled by the plug-in system) What bugfixes do you want?
Hard to say without more detail, but I would lean towards probably not.

For the environment conjured in my head by what you're describing, I would probably use something like Salt or Puppet to drive installation, config management/monitoring and upgrades, possibly on top of oVirt or similar.

I don't see an advantage for tiny shops containerizing everything at this point, at least until some bright shiny future where containerization is much more of the norm and platforms like this are much more mature and easy to manage. Your sysadmin almost certainly has better things to do than adding wrappers and indirection to a tiny environment.

Yes, of course, the implications are costly, but the costs of not doing so are also vast and must (and will) be considered very closely.

Polio could be eradicated by subterfuge, humanity can claim it's victory and the world doesn't necessarily need to know how Polio was magically eradicated in these vaccine-resistant populations.

Or perhaps the world could unite, West, East, Middle East, Christians, Muslims, Buddhists etc and force this vaccination upon these pockets in unprecedented unity.

Which Silicon Valley companies are pursuing the high risk R&D these days? I can only think of a few that are building high risk hardware (Theranos, some of the small photonics shops), and even many of those have proof-of-concepts already built in academia. Many of the medtech startups I've seen revolve around algorithms, which is kind of hard to compare in terms of risk profile to Bell Labs putting a bunch of researchers in a room to figure out how semiconductors work or needing a couple million to build a prototype.

When I think of R&D departments these day I think of non-silicon/non-electronic computing, lab-on-a-chip, and maybe some other medtech stuff. I'm under the impression that companies doing these sorts of things are currently a minority of "Silicon Valley entreprenuership".

It's kind of awesome that you can't lock down a style under legal means. It forces everyone to keep moving. It's probably also freeing to know that when you design something, you aren't going to be ripped apart because you were also inspired by some past design.

That said, it sucks for the designers who actually start the trend. What would be cool is if you, as a designer, could register your design just for the credit. That way, when the indie designer is looking for investment or a job, they can definitively say "I was the one who ... "

That said, it is true that even if this is going on infrequently it is still an injustice and should be corrected...

While this research is interesting I don't know that it will ultimately be all that valuable to the average person in the real world. For the average person who just wants to lose some weight, we all know that we need to consume fewer calories. And if we still don't lose weight we need to consume fewer calories still. It's not that complicated. The core problem is actually going through with it and sticking to your reduced calorie intake. Getting your gut bacteria algorithm worked out for you isn't going to matter if you're still sneaking in the soda and Snickers as extra calories. I think the only real-world beneficiaries of this research will be people on the far end of the spectrum of health/body hacking like body builders or world class athletes. I suppose also people who are hospitalized for obesity related issues, but those are a small fraction of the population.
K8S pretty much stands on its own in the Docker ecosystem right now. I'm not aware of good alternatives that aren't comically janky as you described.
Kubernetes can be used to deploy anything that you can put into a Docker container, including support for persistent volumes (ie "mode 1" applications). I've been using it recently to host XMPP servers, gitlab, jenkins, etc.

I haven't installed Kubernetes directly, but I have setup and used Openshift v3 which adds a PaaS solution on top of Kubernetes. Setting it up is really easy, and they've release an all-in-one VM to demo it out: http://www.openshift.org/vm/

The other option is to use a hosted solution. Google Container Engine (https://cloud.google.com/container-engine/) is essentially hosted Kubernetes.

PS I work for Red Hat. OpenShift V3 is our product, and we contribute a lot to Kubernetes.
"The storage requirements are just too high" Yeah? Can you elaborate on how big we're talking here?
It's not an excuse. It's a description.

The difference between civilian occupations and law enforcement is that cops look for bad. They see everyone with suspicion. It's a conflict, where the occupations you list all participants have essentially the same goal. An interaction as described with cops is not voluntary and both sides have different motivations: to get away as quickly and non-disruptively as possible, vs trying to find evidence of any crime you might have committed.

Liability insurance and FDA approval. If you've ever seen the words "For Research Purposes Only" on equipment, that's an indication of profitable device, but small market.

I know people who sell equipment to IVF (in-vitro fertilization) labs that are insane about safety, so their equipment is certainly good enough for general use. However, their volume is sufficiently low that it's just not worth the monetary expenditure given that they have an out simply by labelling things correctly.

Containers and cluster storage bring you really close to what Google's infrastructure looks like. Especially when the systems are fully fault-tolerant like Mesos and Ceph. One of the drawbacks of Ceph is that its filesystem is not ready for production yet, and you have to resort to block devices that can only accessed from one host at at time.

At Quobyte (http://www.quobyte.com, disclaimer: I am one of the founders), we have a built a fully fault-tolerant distributed file system. This allows concurrent scalable shared access to file systems from any number of hosts. Think of a /data that is accessible from any host and can be mapped in any container.

What I found pretty neat was that we could easily do a mysql HA setup on Mesos: put mysql in a container, use a directory on /quobyte for its data, and enable Quobyte's mandatory file locking. When you kill the container, or switch off/unplug its host, the container gets rescheduled and recovers from the shared file system.
