well it would be cool if some of their stuff would be 100% open source than. Like the CoreUpdate interface.

But well CoreOS is already extremly extremly simple for running k8s and stuff.

We've used CoreOS basically from the beginning. We are small and so had a fleet cluster with 3 nodes.
It worked, kinda but due to docker it wasn't a nice experience. Docker just had a too fast changing cycle and to much things didn't worked as we liked.

However now we run more and more internal stuff on k8s self hosted cluster and it's basically a breeze. we use ignition to bootstrap the nodes and then we just need to run kubeadm join on every node. everything else is self configuring.

bootstrapping k8s was basically just 3x kubeadm init.
with calico we can even bgp route every pod and can access them.

the only pain point is storage, but this is not a problem of coreos.
small scale high available disks would be cool, but this is not an easy problem. we have nfs but it is not on k8s and minio is only good for object storage (and needs 4 nodes, while I would prefer a solution that uses either etcd or k8s configmap as a backing store for HA).

Edit:
I completly forgotten. Thanks for all what you guys did and I hope you will be good under the RedHat umbrella.

(P.S.: if tectonic would be free to use for all sizes, that would be even more amazing, but I'm probably dreaming).
Is there anything that it can exclusively do? I mean functionally in the real world, right now.

There are no indications that the SEC spends remotely near half the time they spend investing big banks/the traditional financial sector on crypto currencies. I’d be shocked if even 10% of sec resources were devoted to cryptocurrencies.
The GPL was a massive legal jujitsu that changed software forever. We need the equivalent with a business model.

The biggest challenge isn't the technical plumbing, it's changing how companies operate and changing customers behavior.

What is the business model? Why would the next unicorn give up this advantage?

Business want data lock-in. They try to create "data moats" to protect their castles.

No product will win on security and privacy features alone. They are critical for a small segment of adoption, but sadly haven't been a factor for mass adoption.

> And what makes you think that the only person coming through a store in the largest mall in the city of Houston is necessarily a Tesla shopper.

I don’t. I said “Tesla storegoer”. If a person enters a mall in which there is a Tesla store, they do not become a “Tesla storegoer” if they don’t enter...the Tesla store.
You might prefer the approach at http://course.fast.ai - all the concepts are taught with code, instead of math, and understanding is developed by running experiments.
I've lived in Kansas, Arizona, California, and Washington and I've driven across the intervening states many, many times.

I've driven at high speeds, too, but only in a car with tires rated for high speed. I have an old Ford truck, and I never drive it over 60.

If you're going to drive fast, it's your responsibility to ensure your vehicle is in shape for it, with tires and brakes are in excellent condition and properly rated for the conditions.

I mentioned earlier that I was getting my hangar queen back on the road, and without question that means the brake system / suspension is getting thoroughly overhauled, and brand new tires. (Tires can look brand new, but they age and deteriorate and get unsafe.)

Yeah, why not. But does it explain the increasing demand for USDT? Why are they printing Tethers like crazy?

The problem with Tethers is that what do you sell it for? The only option is BTC :)

I don't think I agree that this is what people mean when they say "bitcoin has no intrinsic value but gold does." I think that it is a laymen's statement and they are really referring to value or utility outside of being currency. They are not meaning to reference fundamental analysis in finance.
Not great news if you use container Linux:

https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/faq-red-hat-acquire-coreos

Container Linux and its investment in container-optimized Linux and automated “over the air” software updates are complementary to Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic Host and Red Hat’s integrated container runtime and platform management capabilities. Red Hat Enterprise Linux’s content, the foundation of our application ecosystem will remain our only Linux offering. Whereas, some of the delivery mechanisms pioneered by Container Linux will be reviewed by a joint integration team and reconciled with Atomic.

That's incorrect. The CPUs don't degrade, the batteries do.
Yes, but that's irrelevant. The fact that some groups of people can arbitrage the price of tether against USD means they ought to be equivalent.
Take a look at the tires on a sports car, and the tires on an RV. They're very different. It's isn't just the handling, it's their ability to withstand the centrifugal forces and heat from high speed.

Some Thoughts from a Female Founder
The Black Mirror episode "15 Million Merits" has something like this as its premise.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifteen_Million_Merits

Some thoughts after going through the whitepaper,

> The BAT will, in early stages, be specifically tied to Brave browsers and Brave servers, along with verified publishers

Before this, they mention that other browsers are free to adopt BAT. However, no mention is made of a way to ensure the user attention data reported is legitimate. Presumably then only the Brave browser will be able to use this token. A novel, trustless/decentralised way to verify user attention would be of a paper on its own.

> Ad fraud will be prevented or reduced by publication of source code and cryptographically secure transactions. Ads served to individual browser/users will also be rate-limited and tied to active windows and tabs.

How will this be ensured without some kind of centralised whitelist of signatures/keys?

If the system is going to be centralised anyway, why use a blockchain? Blockchains are terribly inefficient append only DBs, and are only useful when there is not even a single server on the internet that you can trust. There is no point to using a blockchain if everything that can go on the blockchain is going to be mediated by a company/government/organisation.

> A 300 million endowment is for early adopters of Brave and the BAT at up to 5
BAT/user

followed by

> BATs are meant only for experts in cryptographic tokens and blockchain-based software systems

So they expect to get up to 60 million "experts in cryptographic tokens" to switch to their browser?
Oops. yeah. thanks
well yeah, the self-replicating carbon-recapture devices are trees. way to spoil the business secret, Ted. didn't you sign an NDA?
That would be awesome! However, I think something that's not Java... maybe, a "simple" book on building a compiler in C or something.
"But the interiors are awful."

This cannot be overstated. The interiors are indeed awful.

The interior of a maxed out Model S approaches the fit, finish, materials and features of the low end germans (A4, 3Series, Cclass) from below.

In fact, while I find it hard to believe, it appears that many Model S drivers are driving their very first expensive car. Forum comments/postings make it very clear that they are not comparing these cars to others in their price category (A8, etc.)
While I don't doubt your personal integrity, I am sure a Google or Facebook employee would claim the same. After a while, organizational incentives start nudging you in a direction optimal for the company and not necessarily optimal for the user. It starts in slow imperceptible increments and before you know, your product is ad-infested sub-optimal UX.
Point taken. For me, you don't market and code at the same time.

Pre-Launch of MVP: spend 90% coding, 10% some preliminary marketing.

After-Launch: Spend 90% of time marketing, 10% bug fixing.

In the Marketing phase, it is a mistake to keep adding features hoping those features will attract new customers. Your goal is to attract customers based on your existing feature set. You will either have customer demand or not. If you don't have demand, stop marketing and pivot.

If you do have demand, use marketing feedback to improve your product incrementally. Don't add new features. Instead, improve your conversion, test your UI, etc.

If you have to add features to get users, you are not ready to market.
As you have formulated it, this is a textbook example of the principal-agent problem. Given your assumptions:

For the company, these kinds of systemic failures are unquestionably bad.

For the specific employees making each decision, this might have been the utility-maximizing choice. All they need to do is to keep the wheels rolling (sorry) and profit coming in until they are out.

No amount of punishing the company can fix this. In order to fix the problem, prosecutors need to go after the individuals who made the calls.
What type of projects are you trying to hire for? And how are you trying to hire? I imagine you're not having trouble finding Ruby devs 350/hrs.

The difference is that you can't do a IPO with just little more than a white paper, like most ICOs do.
It would have been worthy of mention if it were still otherwise!
SLES has tended to be pushed by some vendors (Cray, SGI spring to mind). Most mid-range systems tend to end up with a Centos derivative (advantages: Red Hat's kernel engineering, no license costs).
How does total number of employees is a good proxy for success of the company?

In my opinion, total number of employees is a bad proxy as it fundamentally masquerades the unit economics and profit margins once they have revenue in several multiples of millions (which is what founders should have on their mind all the time if growth is healthy). Also, naturally logistics related startups will have more full time employees vs. pure SaaS company. Venture business is run by outliers. And 2 of the outliers of last 5-6 years were Instagram and WhatsApp - both of which had less than 50 employees at the time of sale.

Would love to hear thoughts of YC on this.
I cannot believe that, especially with that line in their TOS. Saying, "They're only saying that to skirt the law!" doesn't make things any better.
Wow!

I wouldn't call it "winning" but you do need a big piece of the userbase to be relevant (when we are talking about text editors that are 90% plugins and 10% core, like Atom, Sublime, VsCode, Vim, Emacs...)

When I write code in a language I don't find the best language plugin for language X in "my editor". Instead I search for "which editor has the best plugin for language X". And in most of the cases, the difference between different editors is much smaller than the difference in quality between language plugins.

So basically, unless an editor "wins" (say becomes one of the top 5 most used) then there will be very few plugins for that text editor for the next thing that you need a plugin for.

(And let's hope a non-electron editor is the next to gain that momentum.)
If the service isn't profitable, then you are subsidizing the cost of a service that your competitors need. You aren't benefiting from the fact that your competitors are spending money. They would have had to spent money anyway.
Out of curiosity, why "should" that be in the title? There's only so much one can fit in there and, personally, I think the price itself is just fine in the article/press release.
Aiden was bouncing around with Peppa Pig singing songs. The grass was green and he was in the iPad too! So much fun Aiden and Peppa! Wee!

But then Aiden was awake.

The softness under the nylon of his car seat smelled good, like rain on Daddy's driveway. All Aiden could see was darkness and the blue and orange glow of the car. It was night now. They weren't at Daddy's anymore, but he wasn't at Mommy's house yet either.

There were noises outside, a man's voice, deep. Not Daddy's. Aiden was confused. Aiden was scared

The front door opened. The man got in, well, he more fell in. Aiden was very scared. Where is Mommy? Where is anyone?

The man smelled strange too, like Uncle Greg. That bread-like smell when Uncle Greg drank Parent's Soda.

Aiden was so scared. He just wanted to be back with his iPad dancing with Peppa! Aiden started to scream and cry! Mommy! Peppa!

'Aw fuck, therhss a kidh n thsss fuckher!' The man tried to say, but his mouth sounded like it was full of drool or sand. He smelled really bad now.

Aiden kept screaming for Mommy. Hot tears and snot.

The man turned around, his eyes were red and poofy. His hair was stringy and he was sweating a lot. He looked at Aiden but his eyes kept drifting and he kept tilting his head.

'Ssssshhhhhhh. sssalll right kiddao. Weell get ya basck hhhome. S'll call the Pawlice nn get sha basck to yer Mawmy' The man slurred a lot and got back out of the car.

The man slumped down on the side of the car and took out his phone, Aiden could see over the side of his carseat. He was so scared. Where was Mommy? Who is this man?

After a long time of crying for Mommy flashing lights came by the car. The blue and red colors were so bright. The man stood up and went over to the lights, but fell down a lot. A police lady came to the car and opened it after talking to the man.

'You ok, sugar? How are you feeling.' Aiden looked at her, this wasn't Mommy.

'It's ok now sugar, your Mommy is coming real quick, OK? Were you on the way from your Daddy's to Mommy's?' Aiden nodded and gripped the belts of his carseat tighter.

This report by IEEE is actually a very good collection of topics and research currently being done in this field. They discuss specific problems and topics like the neocortex, IIF [1], neuromorphic engineering [2], pose cells, SLAM [3], and more.

For anyone interested in research being done in AI, ML, consciousness, etc., these are great articles written by actual scientists and researchers who are doing the work (as opposed to the hyperbolic articles or tweets you see online these days about AI).

I don't want to knock either, they're both obviously great editors. My main goal is to build something that feels entirely like a native app. Also, I'm hoping that the async model for plug-ins will preserve responsiveness even when there are a lot of plug-ins and they do nontrivial work.
Which delivery mechanisms? The ContainerLinux boot image updater comes from Chrome and ChromeOS (Omaha). They must be talking about the higher-level partitioning of a cluster into groups with separate policies, etc.

That's funny you mention ADHD. I was diagnosed as a teenager and I've always felt more focused while driving a manual than an automatic—it's not as easy to zone out. I've also heard of doctors "prescribing" manuals for people with ADHD. That's just second-hand, though.

I can see value in having someone capable of issuing alerts who is geographically _on_ Hawaii, as the potential for dropped communication lines seems problematic.

I don't know enough about military/federal operations to know whether having them handle it would imply keeping operations on the islands, or if they'd literally "centralize" it to somewhere on the continental US.
Agreed upon chronologies only differ by ~300 years over a period of ~5000 years - is carbon dating precise enough to even narrow that down for us?

Probably bigger tbh. Suspect the guys behind Tether have printed themselves a lot more money than Shkreli was ever worth, and people will have vague recollections of the existence of a cryptocurrency Wild West long after they've forgotten why that securities fraudster who also dabbled in pharmeceuticals companies was so unpopular.
Certainly. There will always be interdependence and rural communities understand that; that's why they drive modern pickup trucks rather than horse-drawn carriages. Still, they are always looking for ways to reduce their dependence on cities.

We kind of have an idea of how individual neurons work, the problem is that all the interesting aspects seem to appear in tangled systems of millions (or much more) of neurons, and we don't understand that.

If we want to study the collective behavior of neurons, then we do pretty much need to analyze or simulate large-ish portions of brains.

You sell BTC to USDT if you are not looking to cash out of BTC. Instead, if you think that BTC is at a peak in the short term and you simply want to sell at the peak and get back in once it drops, selling to USDT is just fine. That way you can buy back BTC once price drops.

When you do want to cash out to real fiat, you have to sell to USD.

USDT allows a large number of exchanges to allow you to sell BTC and hold in something that looks like USD. Without USDT a number of exchanges won't see anywhere near the volume they get. By enabling a larger volume, USDT is indirectly helping inflate BTC (and other currencies) price.

No. Go do some reading on all the charities and hospitals that were hit very hard by the Madoff ponzi scheme imploding. They had to give up millions that their invested-with-Madoff-and-Madoff-feeder-funds rich donors had promised them, donations they had been relying on and been planning their budgets around. Worse still, in a ponzi scheme there can be clawbacks of money you “made” before and already spent, not just loss of the existing money that goes poof.

EDIT: Or, if you’re a sports fan, consider the impact on the New York Mets and their budget over the last decade.
This examples is from New Mexico which, like Mexico, used the Spanish caste system. People from Spain were highest, followed by those with Spanish ancestry. Then came people with mixed indigenous American ancestry, followed by those with mixed African ancestry.

It was quite complicated, with different names for the different caste systems. Essentially though, the more white you were, the more privilege you had.

Before the US Civil War, it was somewhat the same in the US. Quoting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-drop_rule :

> free people of mixed race (free people of color) were considered legally white even if individuals had up to one-eighth or one-quarter African ancestry (depending on the state).[5] Many mixed-race people were absorbed into the majority culture based simply on appearance, associations and carrying out community responsibilities. These and community acceptance were the more important factors if a person's racial status were questioned, not his or her documented ancestry.

After the US Civil War, the powerful whites in the US South worked to undermine the rights of free black people. Among other things, many states passed "one drop rule" laws, where any African or Native American ancestry (except descent from Pocahontas) meant that one was black.

Quoting again from that Wikipedia page, "Among the colonial slave societies, the United States was nearly unique in developing the one-drop rule ... The same racial culture shock has come to hundreds of thousands of dark-skinned immigrants to the United States from Brazil, Colombia, Panama, and other Latin American nations. Although many are not considered black in their homelands, they have often been considered black in US society."
