As the name suggests LinuxKit is more of a developer kit than an end-user product like CoreOS Container Linux, Rancher or Atomic.

Importantly updates are not handled by LinuxKit itself[1] but the concept is that that a higher level system or packager might take care of via CloudFormation and an out-of-band re-provisioning method.

It is obviously early days for the LinuxKit project and we will see how it goes. Overall, though I think there is a lot of interest in packaging up system level services inside of containers and I applaud the effort to keep exploring these ideas.

- CoreOS Container Linux has been continually pushing as many services into docker image containers including etcd, kubelet, etc. https://coreos.com/blog/introducing-the-kubelet-in-coreos.ht...

- Systemd community has been exploring portable services https://lwn.net/Articles/706025/

- RancherOS runs as much as possible underneath the Docker Engine and packages up services in docker images

- The Linux Desktop folks at Red Hat have been exploring ideas like http://flatpak.org/

> Despite all the different changes in the income tax rate/other progressive taxes. This supports an overhaul to the tax code to a more simple, flat tax system. From another data source outside this report, I'd have to find it, but historically, no matter the top bracket tax rate, the Federal government collects about 15-17 % income tax. Including when the top rate was 90%+.

Even assuming that is true, it wouldn't change the regressive nature of a flat tax.
It's funny how well this dovetails with the stereotype of the tech industry.

WIFE: You should help with these philanthropic efforts.

BALLMER: I pay lots of taxes, the government takes care of helping people.

WIFE: That's not true.

BALLMER: Yes it is, and rather than contribute philanthropically, I'll start a start-up to settle this.

I feel like gp wants to keep a hdd as a third copy of the backup somewhere safe under their physical control.

This is prohibitively expensive to do for multiple computers at once, and gp would prefer a single hdd that has a copy of the backup for multiple computers, which would reduce the cost.
> Why do I need to sign up for every individual hotel's loyalty program in order to receive "special treatment" when those things are a considered basic amenities and practices elsewhere? Why do they need to be part of "special program"? Creating some artificial status is not really innovation.

You're shifting the argument and haven't really addressed all the other examples I've cited for how the hotel industry is trying to innovate. If you can't be bothered to take a few minutes to sign-up for some programs, then I guess you'll have to keep on paying for WiFi and complaining about it on online forums :P

Plus these customer loyalty programs are pretty much par for the course in every travel industry - and soon I'm sure - will be adopted by AirBnB as well. United MileagePlus program for example has existed for like 30 years... so it's not like this is a new phenomena. I'm sure there are other customer loyalty programs that predate that.

The "I hate doing this and don't see a reason to do it" argument is not very convincing. You're projecting.

> Now why would I do that? I'm not competing with you. This was a discussion.

It's a discussion in the sense that we're both talking, but you're not really addressing any of the points or examples I've cited. If you dislike hotel chains, so be it, but clearly hotels are trying to innovate and have innovated in the past decade.

You might want to consult FlyerTalk because that forum is geared towards frequent travelers, like yourself, and frequented by subject matter experts. If you're open to learning about how the industry is innovating, I'm sure you find even better examples than the ones I've provided.

> There are a lot of people innovating in business today. I don't think for most people hotel chains would be there first thought as an experience that has changed with the times.

I agree with you, but don't you see that you're shifting the argument? Your original point is that hotels are not innovating. Now it has shifted to: the hotel industry is not as innovate as other industries.

>minimum is required

Can you expand on this? If there are two people in front of you, one who has been a vegan for 20 years, the other for 2 weeks, what is the real difference between them, how does that time difference change your interaction with them?

To put it another way, why does one word have to apply to one and not the other because of some inherent time requirement? English, in particular, as a language is inherently vague, and we rarely make this time requirement distinction for other words that describe people.

If I just graduated from the police academy I'm a "cop", just like how the 30 year veteran detective sergeant is a "cop". No, we aren't the same, since the latter has far more experience, but that doesn't mean that only one deserves the title. It just means we use additional qualifiers ("30 year veteran detective sergeant") to elaborate on what type of cop he or she is.
I think that's true, but the same statistics of people on diet can be found, and I think (without any statistics of my own) that culture and group mentality plays a role there as well.

My wife recently became a vegetarian (as recent as a couple months, after years of wanting to) and it is super hard. I want to support her but it is oh so hard. My guess is that it is easier in some other countries but in Mexico it is super hard, specially considering we are on a low-carb diet (I'm a type 2 diabetic).

I'm eating dramatically less meat because of this, but it made me realise that I could not ever be a vegetarian or --gasp-- a vegan. I'm not dumb, I understand the ethical implications but I had to accept that I'm a selfish bastard in this regard. I have no vices, I can't already eat sweets or cakes, I don't want to give up meat too.

It's pure selfishness.
I'm a member and have visited a few times with my 5 year old son--it's a good rainy day activity for kids. The downstairs area is beautiful space for kids to run around and tinker with robots, and it never seems to be crowded (not even on weekends).

The museum is shockingly liberal with what they let kids touch, so when I take him upstairs to the historic collection I'm always terrified that he'll break something. Fortunately a lot of that gear from the 60's was built to last and is intimidating to little kids... for example, their punch card reader is bigger than a copy machine, and volunteers hand out earplugs before running it.

That just means that it's easy for you. In the US, for example, wheat flour is found in pretty much everything. It's used as a breading, thickener, binding agent etc. It's even a filler in meat.
Then perhaps we should look at the benfits of having such rigorous purity standards, if it makes drug prices 10000% higher than in other markets that have wider use.
this feels like an advertisement and should be removed
former meat eater, turned vegan about 3 years ago, what other vegans fail to you is... it's a trap, why you ask?

1. the constant hunger
2. need for b12 supplements
3. oh, you enjoy traveling the world, good luck finding vegan food in villages of Philippines, or Bratislava. Personally, suffered in these cities among others
4. better start liking those salads and bland pastas and pizzas without cheese, either that or fries in some restaurants here in Sweden

It is not a easy life, so I understand why some give up, quite surprised that I haven't (yet!).

P.S : Bratislava does have one awesome vegan kiosk
It's funny how much SF slang hints at you and your opponent being lackluster AI scripts:

- Downloaded: when you've identified your opponents patterns and know what they're going to do next. Ex. they always jump after they jab.

- Conditioning: when you've trained your opponent to react the same way consistently to something you do. Ex. they always jump when you throw a fireball because you've let them do it successfully.

- "time to guess": situations where, if executed correctly, your opponent must choose one defense from many defenses randomly. Ex. your jump trajectory is such that whether you end up on the left or right side of your opponent is determined by a pixel.

A phrase that novice players say a lot is "HOW DID HE KNOW?" because they're in shock that their opponent is "guessing" right every time when really their opponent just knows what the novice is going to do in every situation. What's impressive is that "every situation" is really the more skilled player abstracting over similar situations. Ex. they recognize kick->jump = punch->jump for their particular opponent. I don't think an AI will be able to make complicated abstractions like that on an offline game console for a while.

What Student Test-Takers Share with Ejected Airline Passengers
I am unconvinced, both by the comparison of the modern social order to a bicycle and by historical comparisons to Rome.

In the first place, economic growth slows down and reverses from time to time. Society doesn't collapse. People paint the Great Depression as having been "saved" by WW2, not as a sequence of events that all fed into each other. In other words, if the Great Depression and subsequent world war wasn't a perfect example of the worst that could possibly happen, I dare you to point out a plausible worse scenario.

No, nuclear war doesn't count, even the worst nuclear war imaginable won't be as bad as WW2 was. Nuclear winter is a myth, the particles fall out of the air too quickly, and the inverse square law greatly limits direct damage. Most civilian population centers won't get hit, unless we start another arms race, so we're looking at a few decades at most of economic disruption in the worst possible case.

Finally, the Roman Empire was in no way comparable to the current global regime. The political systems seen by Rome were downright primitive compared to our representative democracies, multi-state unions, and trade federations. The Anglosphere is in no way vulnerable to dictatorship, and while Europe was once capable of fascism in the past, the days where a would-be Hitler or Mussolini could whip populations into a murderous frenzy are long gone. The worst that can happen is sovereign devolution AKA Brexit, Grexit, Scottish independence et al.

The might of Western hegemony is going to slowly fade away and new regional orders will slowly gain strength. The EU will slowly evolve along those orders and the world will stumble towards a new, multi-polar equilibrium, out of which a new global governing body will emerge, fail, then emerge again.

Rome "collapsed" by spreading across Europe, Western civilization will "collapse" by spreading across the globe.

I can believe that the social piece is harder. I am not even vegetarian, but I eat less meat than I did growing up. Yet, I have had my meat-and-potatoes family of origin label me vegetarian because not all meals contain meat these days.

However, I do think one reason vegetarians, especially vegans, get so much social flack is because they typically position themselves as morally superior to meat eaters. I know one incredibly toxic vegan whom I wish would just make the world a better place by kindly dropping dead. In addition to being high handed, she is inconsistent, hypocritical and generally assholish to the max. She is the vegan version of the hellfire-and-brimstone Christians I knew growing up in the Bible Belt who made me feel like "If my choice is to sit next to you in church or go to hell, I will take hell." On top of all her other BS, she isn't even a committed vegan. She is a convenient vegan who promptly adds cheese to her diet periodically for REASONS, all while looking down her morally superior nose at everyone around her.

If you want to be vegan, cool beans. Good for you. But you might get less social flack as a group if you took a different approach (as a group) to how you talk about that choice and how you treat other people who aren't vegan.
I'm a vegetarian and have found the "policing" isn't bad, but that's because vegetarianism is comparatively easy for everybody to accommodate through horrifying amounts of cheese.

I think the idea stems from the holier than thou attitudes you find from some vegans. The majority probably aren't that way but some are so insufferable that pointing out the hypocritical nature of their actions feels warranted.
Every time I see webdev encroach on 3D or gamedev here, it ends up a spectacular mess for developers in other fields to gawk at.
It's a nice effort, but I'm disheartened at the lack of labeling for sourcing, as if the source (nevermind the methodology of collection) is subordinate or ancillary to the data itself. There is a massive difference between stats (and taxonomy) collected by local jurisdictions and, say, by the FBI. I know it's a beta, but it's not as if source labels are some optional feature when it comes to the integrity of data.

Where did this data come from? What kind of firearms? What kind of licenses? This data is absolutely useless without context.
Given that it was said without a sarcastic tone by people who irregularly stayed up until 4 am or whenever, I don't know how you got that interpretation.
Or, rather, that a conviction is much more likely to go to appeal than an acquittal, and "the jurors were drunk" is the sort of thing the defence might reach for when they can't identity a miscarriage of justice in the trial itself.
Another option worth considering is a pre-paid debit card like Monzo's [1]. This doesn't have any fees when used outside of the UK.

I'd be interested to know, have you looked into reducing/eliminating bandwidth prices further for clients close to your network? It seems like you're with Unwired, which has heavy inbound traffic and peers at a number of facilities in the Bay Area. It'd be really interesting to know if you could, for example, offer free traffic to Linode, DigitalOcean or Vultr, all of which have offerings in the area and could help balance out Unwired's traffic flow (I think that's a thing ISPs care about).

The big thing missing from B2 for me now, relative to the other big players, is the ability to process my data once it's stored with you. If I store my images in S3 for example, I can use EC2 to thumbnail them without paying anything for retrieval. At the moment I can't do that with B2 and it seems unlikely to make sense for you to build your own compute cloud but perhaps you can integrate with others.

This is where many people undervalue the experience of having even a menial job at school age. I'm sure this school is amazing and this kind of experience at a younger age sounds great, but the best "real work" experience is "real work". That where you interact with strangers, adults often from different backgrounds than you, who aren't present because they're paid to watch for your interest, where you get a paycheck, and where you can be fired. I don't think that's an experience for which a school can provide an adequate substitute.
The problem is the distance involved and the orbits. For example, GeoEye-1 is in a sun-synchronous orbit in order to be over the US at the same time each day. However, it means that the satellite is moving quite rapidly across the surface of the earth much of time. If you've taken a photo of a moving person or car, you know how hard it is to get a non-blurry picture. Now, try doing that at much higher speeds. If you put a satellite into a GEO orbit, it is incredibly far away from the Earth and would require huge optics in order to get good photographs.

As somebody that ran a successful meetup which I grew from 0 to 1500+ members (now 2700) on meetup.com the article feels like it misses the point of the meetups.

The presenter being late, disorganized, and talking down to the audience is a pretty simple problem to fix. Screen your presenters! Don't let people who you know would give a bad talk speak. With our meetup, we would send some guidelines along with some information on the kind of audience we tend to attract. This along with front-loading the socialization addressed nearly all problems the author had.

Our meetup was and continues to be sponsored and we never felt the need to give them a plug. We thanked the companies for hosting us, encouraged people to talk to each other and that's it. None of these problems cost a penny to fix.

I have seen other comments here mention that a meetup is not about the talks that it is only networking. While, I agree that is the main benefit for going, I tried pretty hard to have cool talks with topics attendees were unlikely to run into online. I loved to spotlight people who had passion projects previously working in obscurity. I loved introducing academics to an audience of mostly industry people, and vice-versa. People would come up to me afterwards surprised to here that someone in town had solved a problem giving them pain for months! Bringing talks about things they might not see on Twitter or Hacker News.

Want to know what I actually worried about? I worried about diversity. Although 50-60% of the speakers booked were women we had trouble boosting that ratio above 10-20% for the audience. I worried about attendees with kids that couldn't make evening meetups. I worried about people who worked somewhere hard to commute from. My co-organizer actually started organizing events that occurred during lunchtime. These had just as good if not better attendance than the evening talks. So do know those can work.

I think meetups are a fantastic medium to meeting people who like similar things as you. And if none of the meetups around you are working, you can always just start one that does.
