You have the right parity but there is a slight semantic difference between that and what I said. Sorry that I wasn't so clear. I'll try again.

There's a difference between "I don't believe X" (which allows for ambivalence) and "I believe not X" (which does not). There's also a difference between "I believe not X" and "I have no doubt of not X".

I was pointing out that there is no dispute or even doubt about the null article's inability to produce thrust (and this would have been a better phrasing). So the question is not "what does the null article's thrust imply about various hypotheses?" It's "what does the apparatus' measurement of thrust from the null article imply about the apparatus?" GP seems to have missed this point.
I somewhat agree -- you're right, $150K is actually too low for a real supercar, those are more like $350K and up.

But a Tesla is a supercar in terms of performance. No other BMW/Mercedes/Audi in the price range will touch its acceleration. It rivals a Lamborghini Aventador.

But overall you're right. Supercar isn't really the right word for Tesla.

You cannot (repeat: cannot) sign Docker containers any other way, so it's barely a half feature and does not work for enterprises at all.

What makes you think this? It is 100%, patently false. Private notary servers can be deployed alongside private registry servers without problem. See here for docs on how to do it: https://github.com/docker/notary/blob/master/docs/running_a_...

> How do full time front end devs keep up with this nonsense?

I'm not a full time front-end dev, but I find the trick is to keep an eye on what's going on, play about with the bits you find interesting when you have time, but remember that keeping up doesn't necessariily need to involve using any of it - you don't need to use any of it until you're good and ready, just be aware where things are moving when it's time.

I'm developing React apps at work at the moment and my experience of it is that it's easy to ugrade React because they usually deprecate a release ahead and they don't release all that frequently. Meanwhile, I've only played about a bit with Mithril and Vue, took inspiration from Ember's tooling and am keeping a wary eye on Angular 2 because it'll probably end up getting used somewhere where I work.

Extracting all your tools out into your own tooling also helps - all my Webpack/Babel/Karma config and dependencies for React apps, React components and regular npm modules is in one tool and my complete ESLint config is in another. Neither is using the latest and greatest of anything (currently still on Babel@5, npm@2, Webpack@1 and ESLint@1) but when I'm good and ready to upgrade I only need to do it once.

$150k isn't really exotic nor supercar territory. $150k is nicely optioned Merc or Porsche territory. When you're competing against those two, mistakes like this are costly.

Tesla's only saving grace with the Model X is that they're selling vehicles to fanboys and not serious car-shopping buyers.
The original model is the one with the memory card slots on the front (and the only one that comes in white). The S came out in ~2010 has an angled, thinner-in-the-middle design, and the E (came out when the Xbox One was announced) looks like a smaller Xbox One with rounded corners.

The problems I mentioned weren't universal, but they were about as close to it as you could be. Maybe you had an S or an original model that was later in its production.

The 360 has a one year general warranty, but the red ring problems were so widespread that Microsoft added a three year warranty for red rings specifically.
Interview for a job, learn market value.
Music, for example. If you're doing audio processing for music, it's much more preferable to have something that takes 20ms consistently to transform an input than something that takes 5ms 90% of the time and 50ms 10% of the time (due to, e.g. interrupts). That 50ms gap will show up as a note that's audibly behind the beat, while the improvement from 20ms to 5ms isn't really that beneficial.

EDIT: another example is controlling a UAV. You can design around a system that consistently takes 20ms to process an input (e.g. by limiting the max speed). It's a lot more difficult to design around a component that takes 5ms most of the time, but will randomly take 50ms here and there, because you don't get to control when those lag spikes happen.

On the one hand. I was able to install and reliably use 16.04 mere weeks after my brand new X1 Yoga was released. And the OS is in general very stable and professionally managed. On the other hand, I still through several major versions see the lock screen doesn't work reliably (sometimes on resuming from suspend it skips the lock screen right to the desktop), and multi monitors are a mess — every time the screen locks, windows are distributed willy nilly and i have to reorganize them again. I'm not about to switch to another distribution or OS, but the former is worrying for security, and it sure would be nice if everything just worked.

> What makes you think this?

The docs I linked and quoted, written by your own organization and helpfully pasted into the point I made?

I'm glad to see it's possible (if cumbersome), but I ruled Docker out for this purpose based on the exact link I just pasted. I also followed up and didn't see a "hey, you can sign private registries" bullet in your blog post responding to this paper, or much of anywhere, and Googling "docker sign private registries" doesn't go anywhere.

I'm still unsure why I'd stand up several daemons to accomplish signing a file, but that's a side point.

----

ETA: I can no longer reply because I've burned my precious HN comment budget commenting upon this paper (sorry, blame HN), so here's what I would reply to you downthread:

> 1. We have to host the signatures somewhere, so we host them in a store we call the notary server.

We've had this solved for a long time with .asc files, and Docker is already shipping an HTTP server or six. Shit, extend the Docker format and put the signature on each layer. There's a lot of prior art from RPM and dpkg in particular on how this can be done without writing yet another Docker daemon to run.

I'm sorry, I have to call bullshit, here. Docker is a very strong daemon-for-everything engineering culture, and that's the only reason it exists. It's also why folks are competing with you, because there are three or four different daemons in the Docker ecosystem that simply should not exist. Including dockerd.

> Think serving an outdated container with known-vulnerable software. Sadly, most artifact signing systems do not mitigate this attack today,

Because it's out of scope of a signature. That is conflating a signature with content revocation, which is a different problem altogether. A signature is an attestation of certain properties of data, and "is no longer valid content because circumstances changed after it was signed" is not one of them. The validity of the content is orthogonal to its signature. That known-vulnerable container is still a valid signature, and it's overreaching to expect a signature system to solve that problem. That is solvable in other ways.

Known-bad OpenSSL is still signed in repositories. And valid. And that's fine, because it's a separation of concerns; you get non-repudiation, integrity, all that stuff from a signature scheme. Upgrading to gatekeeping content on top of signatures indicates to me a fundamental misunderstanding of the problem ("can I run this?" instead of "this is an authenticated, intact image that came from where I expect"), which concerns me. You can solve the problem you present in other ways.

Mixing in the term "replay attack" is extremely confusing and I think diluting your point, because it is baffling me and really does not apply to what you are saying.

This advice reflects what I've seen in safety-critical field reading on all kinds of deployments. This plus other comments to use simplest microcontrollers with tiny RTOS or no OS using simplified software. Good advice and good alias.
very true... im from BC too.

i use to pickup on the street but got annoyed with having to arrange a meetup with a dealer/supplier, the dispensary is much more convenient.
dont have to wait on anyone, the businesses are open at set times with a large variety.

definately paying more for the convenience and consistency.
i use to pay 160-200$ CAD an ounce on the street (5$-7$/gram).

at the dispensary i rarely pickup below $10/gram strains.
more recently i have been getting $12-13/gram strains, but thats where i draw the limit.
there are $15+/gram strains popping up at dispensaries that i dont think are worth it.

if you are a heavy consumer... it will hit you hard in the pocket book making the transition.
i was spending on average $1000+ a month (#1 customer at 4000+ member dispensary) till i made some life decisions.

i partake, but maybe <$100/month i spend now (i prefer it more than alcohol).

as per the supply chain, most are illegal drug suppliers legitimatizing their business into legal/license distributors (using illegal funds to build multi-million dollar govt approved factories for growing and selling to licensed shops and USA).

as per the in-home growing or GrowOp houses... cant believe some people still make a mess with wiring, smell, mold etc.. this was common 10+ years ago... but nowadays its hard to have problems like this.

LED lights + smell proof rooms + good ventillation + air filters to mask smell, its very hard to get caught... and you dont have to do any damage (ran high pressure aeroponics setup that vented out of top of house, was in a enclosed smellproof 8x10 closet space).
you can run a very good "clean" setup for a few hundred dollars.

anyways, anything is good in moderation... overdoing it can lead to risks. from the amount i use to smoke compared to now, i feel i have less anxiety when not high in stressfull situations and able to cope better (giving me less reasons to smoke up)

Obviously the author put a lot of effort into this paper. Hard work shows throughout. Kudos to you sir!

Granted I realize the title is "Understanding and Hardening Linux Containers".

However, personally, this just illustrates my frustration and the frustration of others with the Linux world.

They exist in their own little echo chamber. Linux was not the first to create "containers" that are secure. There is no inclusion of other solutions outside Linux.

The reason other solutions do not have these problems is because the authors actually thought about the problem. And if the Linux camp would simply look outside their echo chamber long enough to see how others solved these problems before them this paper might not have been written.

It's just simply frustrating to watch Linux reinvent some wheels, poorly, time after time.

Flame on!
Well it's in top trim 0.5 sec faster to 60 then Porsche cayenne Turbo S and just a bit slower then Lambo Aventador. Tesla model S p85d is faster then Aventador and same time to 60 as Lambo Veneo (costs over 4 million USD).

While the article is fine, this does not really follow:

>So while Apple is nominally responsible for recycling a 90 million pounds of e-waste, very little of that is actually iPhones, and very little of that is actually being done by Apple. In Washington State, for example, Apple products made up just 1.78 percent of the total weight of e-waste recycled in 2014. In Oregon, Apple products made up 1.65 percent.

The author wants to argue that "very little of that is actually iPhones, and very little of that is actually being done by Apple" but the example he uses for that doesn't really show "very little", but rather a huge percentage of recycled e-waste being Apple stuff.

While the statement that "very little of that [apple products recycling] is actually being done by Apple" is compatible with the example, the example doesn't really prove that "very little of that is actually iPhones" as it's supposed to.

And even the implication that the numbers are small doesn't follow -- 1.65 to 1.8 percent of the total e-waste in a state is nothing to sneer at, considering Apple is just one among tens of thousands of companies making electronics, and compared to things like TVs and such, theirs are tiny and weight little (a fact admitted elsewhere in the article).
Meta: Wow that drop down menu at the top is really annoying
This is a good question and before I continue IANAL, and anything in my response could be inaccurate.

This is one example:

http://www.theymadethat.com/people/ryan-porter

In particular click on the 'AMA Capital Automated Trading System' project and projects related to 'Palantir Metropolis'. Both products are sensitive in nature and unlike say a Netflix platform, you can't provide as much detail since you can't provide trade secrets or classified information. However as hopefully shown in the link it's still possible to provide a really high level overview that gives a gist of the work you accomplished.

Here's another incomplete example: http://www.theymadethat.com/people/margaret-hamilton

Look at the 'NORAD Semi-Automatic Ground Environment' project. Another way to get around this is to simple list your involvement in building something but not provide any details of your work.

Still, there may be situations where you can never list your work (and we do comply with DCMA requests). Unfortunately, TheyMadeThat just isn't a magic bullet for every project and person's work situation.

I'm not saying the experiments were trustworthy or conducted properly. Only that the author of the article misunderstood the experimental setup.

If you sell on Amazon's site, then they know your sales numbers. This is a specific advantage of their position as a distributor.

I run a little side-business, making a hardware gadget. My sales volume data is a sort of first-mover advantage. To compete with me, you have to risk guessing wrong about how many potential customers are out there.
> Your comment on "retention" is factually incorrect.

I disagree.

> First the number of Amazon hires in "tech roles" increases by ~50% per year. i.e., in year 1 there are 1,000 SDEs hired, year 2 is 1,500, year 3 is 2,250, year 4 is 3,375 and so on.

This could not possibly be true. If it was, they would be hiring ~1.5M technical people a year (since they've been in business since 1997). Perhaps you meant since 2005, but that would still represent 58k people per year hired. According to this article (http://www.geekwire.com/2015/huge-growth-amazon-reaches-2224...), they only have 24k in the state of Washington, where the vast number of people are. So nothing about this statement is true.

> "Attrition" represents the number of individuals who leave for any reason. This may be because the employee terminates employment or the company terminates employment. Attrition levels are comparable to the rest of the tech industry, ~15% of the current population per year.

Can you show me that data? about 15% per year? I've seen vastly different numbers internally, but would prefer not be sued in sharing them.

> "Tenure" is the length of employment. Because hiring greatly exceeds attrition you should expect a relatively low average and median retention. As I recall Amazon is approximately 12 months median tenure. This is comparable to Google at ~13 months, for example.

Correct, but these numbers are heavily obfuscated due to part time hires and vendors.

> Lastly the employees current tenure does not have a substantial impact on the probability of their attrition. Indeed the average tenure at exit is somewhere around 3 years.

Again, show me the data. I've seen the internal stuff. If you'd like not to believe me, feel free; I know I don't believe you.

Right, because everyone just has their own "platform". And one that can compete with Amazon no less.
You should try openSUSE Tumbleweed. It actually is faster at releasing new packages than Arch in some cases, and has much more testing and stability from my experience. But it should be noted there are good reasons to want stable software especially with Docker (which is something I actually maintain for SUSE systems) -- there's been a lot of very invasive architectural changes in the last 3 or 4 releases. And all of them cause issues and aren't backwards compatible or correctly handled in terms of how to migrate with minimal downtime.
Matt Zito hit the nail on the head. Let's not forget that the NYC finance workforce probably has about as many tech people as all of SF tech. GS has more programmers than FB after all. http://www.businessinsider.com/goldman-sachs-has-more-engine...

NYC definitely has a "money up front" attitude, but the enterprise ecosystem is really taking off here in part because there are so many customers, but also because of the great community builders like http://www.work-bench.com/

>If by feminism you mean not discriminating against (or in any way thinking less of) women, then practically everyone on HN is a feminist. And many –including myself– would argue that if that's what you mean by feminism, then the term doesn't need to exist. We don't have a term for a non-racist. Why should we need a term for a non-sexist?

Hmm, along those lines, why would we ever need/have needed terms like "civil rights" or "abolitionist"? I mean, why should we need a term to designate being against racism, or against slavery?
Agreed on the semantic differences, I missed that one.
