> 1) Is this tool the same as Docker Swarm?

No, it is much higher level. You could think of it as open source Heroku, apps are deployed using buildpacks and a PostgreSQL cluster is included.

> 2) Has the code been security-audited?

Not yet. We've been focusing on stability, work on internal security will be starting soon. You can expose ports 80/443 to the Internet, but shouldn't run untrusted code on it. See here for more details: https://flynn.io/docs/security

> 3) Can I use this as a combination of Puppet/Chef + Swarm?

For most use cases it would replace those tools.

> Lastly, who is this tool for? The guy running his 1 VPS or the startup running their 50 AWS medium instances?

All of the above, though we recommend at least three instances for high availability and haven't tested large clusters yet.

Thanks for your openness here. You're welcome to email hn@ycombinator.com if you want to discuss it further. Short answer is that snark in general doesn't break the HN guidelines (though it is deprecated!) but when directed personally it probably does.
Earlier this year the CEO said “I don’t have any more plans to raise more capital.” And at the time there he downplayed the size of the investment given that it was before the product was released. Back then it was implied that it would help ensure that they'd not have to raise money for quite a while.

I wonder what happened to that plan.
The description they've provided sounds nothing whatsoever like Palantir.
Sorry, HN is full of morons who like to downvote.

The Declaration of Independence has indeed been cited by the Supreme Court to give evidence of the intent of the drafters of the Constitution, where the phrasing in the Constitution is ambiguous. So you are perfectly correct.

YNAB is not double-entry. In fact I interviewed with them one time and they asked me how I would design it, and I started outlining how I run my ledger-based YNAB-like system with double-entry accounting. Their response was something along the lines of "wish we had thought of that, it would have been easier."
It doesn't sound like you can substantiate it. But that has no influence on your credibility, or on the believability or relevance of what you're saying. From the outside, a true story that inherently can't be substantiated is indistinguishable from a made-up story that can't be substantiated. And it doesn't even have to be you who made it up, it could be the person you got it from, or wherever they got it, or all the way up the chain. Or maybe it's true! I have no idea, which is why I called it "hearsay" instead of "lies."
Yeah, it would be good experience. I know I would keep looking around after accepting, so I feel like it is wrong to take a job with the intention to renege.
I tried to do this with a spreadsheet years ago, for single entry check balancing. Formulas, if this, if that, it got out of control. It made me a believer of using something already existing if that suffices. I do like creating things, but not that, and not in a spreadsheet.

That said, if that works for you, then that's exactly what you should do.

Ok so sorry but this fing bullshit has got to stop. WTF is this BlackLives matter all about? The message was lost when the town was burned down and the entire campaign was started on a thug who robbed the local convenience store for some mini cigars to roll some blunts. Did he have to die? we don't have any video evidence and his homeboy who saw the whole thing isn't going to speak up for fear of being an Uncle Tom / sell out.
Black people in tech? I have worked with and even seen star employees who were black who are in tech. In fact just about the entire IT Dept. where I work is Black. They are senior level IT techs making close to 6 figures. To see the Hashtag posted at twitter #Ferguson is just pure idiocy and some guilt ridden conscience to be down with the cause, whatever that is. You have to be the change, sorry stop with the bullshit. I make 6 figures and I am a high school push out. I am that change. I changed my attitude, I changed my way of thinking and the way I interact with people and hell I even rush across the street when I have the right of way when a car needs to make a turn. yeah you know what I mean. Leadership begins when you take that opportunity to step up and I have seen and experienced plenty of examples.

Exactly. There are numerous HBCUs that have very well structured CS programs. I'd be willing to put money on the fact that those graduates don't even get a second look. Valley people are too preoccupied with the optics of having a BIG SCHOOL NAME to actually care if an employee without the school name can do the job just as well or better.
Crime is unquestionably coorlated with poverty, you can't just dismiss that with banal moralizations of how BAD these people are and how they ought live properly.

I worked on similar things last summer. My concern is with taking the job, while continuing to look around for a better one. Is that immoral? It is at will employment, so I can do that. I just do not think anyone will pay as well as this bank.

> Clearly the reviews of a hardware engineer at Google

Not sure if this is an oversight, but Benson identifies himself as a software engineer.

I feel divided on this. On the one hand, I'd like to give more weight to his reviews; on the other, why? Being at Google, a software engineer, or working on the Chromebook don't actually make it more likely that his reviews should be better than anyone else's.

I feel like most people would take his word because he claims to work at Google -- wouldn't Google be upset with that? It's not like they as a company endorse the product, but his call-out to them makes it sound like he's endorsing them as a Google representative.

It just makes me uncomfortable.

Read Rhetoric by Aristotle. You're using what he calls Dialectic (facts and figures) to convince people. Most people either don't care about facts and figures or can't understand them. You need to make appeals to emotion, or rhetoric. As for how to effectively communicate in Rhetoric, if I knew that I'd be far more popular than I currently am. :) Maybe ask tptacek for some pointers?

Something else to keep in mind: speaking from a place of authority might help as well. On this matter, you have a serious disadvantage. An anonymous person on the internet will never be able to convince most people that NASA is wrong about space. Unless you're literally a rocket science and can prove you're an expert in the field, most people will believe NASA because they trust NASA.
Just another example of the blatant cronyism and corruption that goes on in bloated defense contracts with limited oversight.

Not knowing much about the company's internals, my guess is this will end badly.

Consider:

* Fidelity is supposedly leading the investment in Jet.com -- not exactly a leading VC or PE investor.

* The investment totals $500 million -- not exactly a small one-off deal that flies under the radar.

* Jet.com is on track to burn all that cash in a year or so -- not exactly a lot of runway.

I don't understand why specific guns were mentioned, yet he wasn't charged with a single gun crime. The sawed-off shotgun itself, if it exists at all, is a Class 3 weapon and a Federal felony to even possess.
tl;dr: The journalist doesn't like HONY because it presents individuals as simply "humans", without a group-based social critique. He prefers books where the writer sets out to reveal the hardships of the underclass, and where the photos serve as illustrations of that general point. Having decided that that is a virtue, he criticizes HONY for pairing the photos with stories of the individuals themselves.
"this is like someone designing a funny-shaped inclined plane and claiming that Newtonian physics might not apply because nobody has measured accelerations on that shape of ramp before"

My understanding has it (and admittedly I've not been paying that close attention, precisely because it's not likely there's anything super exciting here) that the difference between that case and this is that it's not just a claim that understood laws "might not apply", but that we actually have experimental results that look funny. That is precisely the case when we're most likely to learn something. (Probably not something tremendously surprising - that's what "tremendously surprising" means :-P)

Which is why they absolutely love Stringrays and have tried so desperately to a) not require warrants to use them and b) shield their usage of it from the public.

By 'going dark' on their exploitation of this technology they've managed to restrict public knowledge and ability to debate the fact they are flying Cesnas, containing Stingrays, in non-stop circles around most major American cities. Going as far as buying/registering the planes via shell companies and withholding they're use as evidence in trials.

IMHO there is no reason to ever be loyal to a brand anymore. Brand names are sold, the same two products are built or assembled by different subcontractors, the same two products contain bits and pieces manufactured by different companies at different times... There really is no reliable way to choose the best product without doing some research and often times you have to rely on enthusiasts or experts since frankly it's impossible to know everything about every product...
If they have a warrant, they can compel the suspect to unlock the device.

Just like if the police has a warrant for your neighbour's house they can't compel you to do the breaking and entering. They can either get the suspect to open the door, or do it themselves. If they don't have a big enough ram or strong enough explosives, that's their problem, they can't compel you to lend your tools in the garage.

Rackspace Mail (formerly MailTrust) has over 200K customers and 3 million hosted mailboxes, all paid.

The Declaration of Independence, where that phrase comes from, is basically marketing bullshit. It's full of rhetorical flourish that Jefferson got away with precisely because it has no legal significance. After all, that same document says that "all men are created equal" while the Constitution enshrined the institution of slavery for another few generations.

The closest analogue in the Constituon is the idea that due process protects those fundamental rights inherent in "ordered liberty."
I personally think the Constitution should be thrown out and start over. It's an archaic document reflecting a radically different society.

Some love to treat it as sacred, but if it's so sacred how come we've had to amend it so much? Though come to think of it I wouldn't mind a few amendments to the Bible and Koran.

The most shocking is that some vendors or manufacturers are blindly criticizing and rejecting Benson's reviews, completely ignoring his technical analysis. This makes me never want to purchase anything from "Cable Savage" for example:

http://www.amazon.com/review/R2DQ7OH7PQG24F/ref=cm_cr_rev_de...

"""

Benson I can say with confidence this cable has been tested and can provide up to 3AMPs of power. Since you are supposedly on the google team, then you will know that the Pixels original OEM charger actually has an output of 5 AMPS. (What 3rd party charger were you using to attempt to charge a pixel with a 3AMP cable, when the pixel demands 5amp output?

These cables have been confirmed and work great with the Nexus 5x and 6P. It even can replace the 12" macbooks charging cable with a proper walll charger. The power output is relied on the actual wall charger. The cable with be able to provide ample power given that the wall charger is correctly powered. Also please note, that batteries charge at different mAh intervals depending on the percent full the battery is at.

Our cables can charge the 5x and 6P units at the same speeds as the stock oem cables.

"""

Benson's counterreply explains that 3 A is actually a violation of the spec, and that the Pixel charger never outputs 5 A, etc.
No, the opposite of stability is heamorraging money. Layoffs may enable them to stop doing that.

> A big use-case as well for me is the purchase of expensive refundable plane tickets - essentially, I buy personal futures in plane tickets when I see a good price. The virtual accounts that dual-entry allows means that when I buy a refundable ticket, I treat it as an asset in a virtual account until it's used. Again, this helps me track my spending and budgetting more effectively.

I would like to hear more about this. Do you have alerts set up? Does this end up saving you money? Do you get to re-schedule the flight an unlimited number of times (pushing the future out) or do you have to cancel and rebuy periodically? Can you use exercise the option early?
I've seen the method and I have a background in math, just not enough to really help prove it.

That's a great insight, to think beyonds the bounds of the app ecosystem itself. In a lot of ways the mobile is a tool to deliver a service. However, a company has to prioritize and nowadays the app is the first foot forward.

Must say it strikes me crazy that they put anything at all into the cable.

How hard would it be to carry the existing A port charging spec forward, so that if a device detected the A form it would go no higher than 2.1A?

Frankly cables should be as dumb as you can make them.
