Which is it: Minimally configured, or plug-and-play?

Either you'll be setting up your containers to prepare you to use something like Chef or Puppet against the, or you'll be setting up your containers to be fully configured apart from connection details to other components.

That last bit is down to service orchestration, which is outside the scope of Docker as far as I understand it. You can "roll your own" easily enough: Write a "/usr/local/bin/add-relation" script that takes a function and a list of arguments to configure that function.

Write a script that reads a config file that defines the relationships between container types (e.g. your MySQL container and your Web container), and triggers execution of those add-relation scripts. E.g. your Web container gets called with "add-relation Mysql --ip [foo] --username [bar] --password [baz]" and the version of the script in that container knows how to add users to MySQL.

That is very roughly the approach that Juju (Ubuntu's orchestration system) takes.

The point is to split all configuration details into thress classes: Those that can be set statically on build. Those that can be decided on first boot (e.g. re-generate a ssh-host-key, get IP address etc.). And finally those that needs to be set dynamically based on what other containers are spun up.

The latter has no place in the Dockerfiles or images, but scripts or tools to set these config details based on input from some external source, does.

It may sound painful, but only if you do it to a handful of vm's that rarely change. The moment you need to manage dozens, or need to spin vm's up and down regularly, taking the effort to set up proper orchestration, whichever method you prefers, wins hands down to having a user set it up (I can guarantee with near 100% certainty that said user will not set them up different VMs consistently).
A 64GB model at $595 from the start probably would have gone a long way toward boosting the numbers. And a $32 million funding goal is really pushing the envelop regardless. I would love to have one but $700 upfront? For a phone? That's pushing the envelop too.

I guess they are referring to Google as The Chocolate Factory from Charley and The Chocolate Factory.
I believe that lack of communication channel is not a problem here. If someone like you wants to let the developer know about this, he will find a way to contact him.

Most of these reviews are from the non-developer crowd who somehow ended up with beta software on their phone and they don't understand that developers can do little about this for the moment, nor they understand that their negative review has a bad impact on the developer himself.
Basically, we're all fucked and I don't understand how anyone retires.

Maybe you should consider reading this by Catherine Austin Fitts, an former Assistant Secretary of Housing - Federal Housing Commissioner, Bush I.

"The dependence of the U.S. economy and the federal finances on war and organized crime is significant and to date enjoys the popular support of the general population.

I have written about the federal governments involvement in narcotics trafficking and financial fraud, and support in the general population for that involvement. Here are four excerpts:

.....

One of the dirty little secrets behind the housing bubble is the long standing partnership of narcotics trafficking and mortgage fraud and the use of the two in combination to target and destroy minority and poor communities with highly profitable economic warfare. This model is global. It is operating in counties throughout the world as well as in US communities."

How a tiny wasp may save your life
IF you have root on the container, you have root on the host. This is a HUGE difference and probably one of the main reasons LXC isn't in huge use for VPS.

This is, btw, different than Solaris Zones, which give you a complete new user management for each container. They're very isolated. Zones have had some exploits to get out of the Zone, but they're pretty secure. LXC has started moving towards a more secure design but it will take years (IMO) to get LXC actually in production for _shared_ hosting.

See:

https://www.suse.com/documentation/sles11/singlehtml/lxc_qui...

Security depends on the host system. LXC is not secure. If you need a secure system, use KVM.

http://www.funtoo.org/Linux_Containers

As of Linux kernel 3.1.5, LXC is usable for isolating your own private workloads from one another. It is not yet ready to isolate potentially malicious users from one another or the host system. For a more mature containers solution that is appropriate for hosting environments, see OpenVZ.

http://lwn.net/Articles/515034/

"Containers are not for security", he said, because root inside the container can always escape, so the container gets wrapped in SELinux to restrict it ... A number of steps have been taken to try to prevent root from breaking out of the container, but there is more to be done. Both mount and mknod will fail inside the container for example. These containers are not as secure as full virtualization, Walsh said, but they are much easier to manage than handling the multiple full operating systems that virtualization requires. For many use cases, secure containers may be the right fit.

I always enjoy perusing these.

Confusingly there is another PHP newsletter out there but I like both.
I think it is very reasonable.

There is plenty of free access to materials and papers.

It's incredibly cheap and fast to communicate with pretty much anyone in the world.

All that is really required is motivation, discipline, and curiosity.

When there wasn't cheap access to global communication networks and near-zero cost to duplicating data then it made sense to go to university because that was where everyone who you would be interested in talking to would be. That's where the libraries and books were. I don't think that is the only option anymore. And that's a good thing.

You can learn anything you want on your own and still have all of the benefits of a college (access to knowledgeable people, peer review, etc).
Great work! I recommend adding a manifest.webapp file so that Firefox users (and Firefox OS users) can add this as an "app". The manifest file is minimal, and then just a few lines of JavaScript will give you an "install" button. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Apps/Manifest

Man, they just keep adding letters to OSS...
This is one of the few times I've seen a genuine ad hominem on Hacker News...thank you for attacking my "moral compass" instead of the substance of my argument.

Now, to counter what you said - you're reaching by claiming the NSA "secretly stores and analyzes" the private communications of everyone on the planet. One interpretation of the materials originally leaked purports this, but there is also data contesting this view which is equally valid. Again - the echo chamber and bias allows you to just unilaterally suppose the NSA is capable of retrieving all data everywhere, but you're not examining counter evidence.

X-Keyscore allows email and web content surveillance, yes, but it isn't even practical to mine all data at once - it is much more practical (and probable) that this allows for finding and assembling an entry point to see where you should really begin looking in depth as an NSA analyst[1]. But, no, your traffic is not being viewed universally or entirely without someone at least believing there's a reason.

"First settled by Europeans" and "formed" are not the same thing.
I do not. Pick a market you think you can etch out a place in, then go for it. Sure, do some preliminary testing to ensure you're not wasting your time, but that's it. Every market is ripe for disruption, save the few that have "crime lords" at the top working overtime to destroy everything that tries to take their throne.

Sure, you probably won't be the next celebrity musician or television personality or Mark Zuckerberg or billion dollar startup founder, but that's what they tell everyone and then someone does it anyway. If you never try, then that someone will never be you.

The only trick is to find a market for the product you are offering (the market doesn't even have to exist, if you have tested the waters and are sure that when people see your product they'll think, "I didn't know I wanted that until I saw it"), then deliver what that market wants. Once the product is done and is what the market is looking for, it's all about getting the product in front of those users and making a compelling case for them needing what you are offering. And at that point, if you've done your job well, the product will sell itself.
Your first point is hitting the nail on the head, and it's exactly why I backed this project on day 1.

To other commenters: if you see this as "buying a phone that doesn't exist yet and won't for at least another year", then this project is probably not meant for you anyway.
I have found the binary thing to be true with west coast investors (especially in San Fran). Here in NYC, many angel investors think in terms of "when will I start getting returns on my money", and not "will this be the next big hit"? Catering to both types is often impossible, you have to pick one to go after.
Well, I suppose the defence would be some argument that the fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine doesn't apply, because there's nothing illegal about the NSA sharing information with other agencies, and there's no obligation to share every piece of evidence in an investigation. The prosecution is required to share all exculpatory evidence with the defence, but this wouldn't be exculpatory. There is an obligation to provide probable cause in order to justify each search, seizure, warrant, arrest, etc. but this obligation was met - that would be the purpose of the parallel construction. Cases were tried based on probable cause that was shared, and so that probable cause must have been sufficient. The investigators simply did not disclose ALL the probable cause they had, (because some of it was secret).

There will be some contention over whether investigators lied or simply didn't share all evidence. This will probably lead to some slippery wordplay. For example, in the case of a "random" traffic stop that was actually targeting an individual, the word "random" could be stretched to mean "without reason" - meaning that by saying it was a "random" traffic stop, investigators were really just not giving a reason for the stop. Since no reason is required for a random traffic stop (under this new definition), that's all fine.

Perhaps the real problem here isn't that the NSA was sharing information, but that it is easy to find probable cause when properly motivated.
In the US most financial education happens in books, radio, or television. There are several personalities who all say the same basic things: stay out of debt, save cash for when shit happens, save for retirement-probably 15% or as much as you can, save for your kids college as early as possible. Pretty much everyone says the same things and it's not bad advice.

People typically wait too late to save or pay off debt. It's very easy to hang yourself with debt in this country. It's probably the worst thing about living here. You can make good money and feel broke all the time because you signed up for two car payments, a student loan, and a 30 year mortgage where the payment almost entirely goes to interest for the first decade.
I don't think so, but bind-mounts makes that irrelevant for most uses. If you need bare-metal device access, then you have very specialised needs that apply to a very tiny fringe set of users (as an example, we can reach 1GB/s reads from our SSD RAID arrays on some of our containerised database servers without resorting to raw device access).
If I were to think of enthusiastic drug warriors who've managed to get their preferred policies implemented I'd probably put Joe Biden at the top of the list and I don't tend to think of him as being a Reaganite, though of course YMMV.
"Eliminate Reproductive Rights"? Seriously? Do you normally watch television pundits and debates where talking points and demagoguery like that are taken seriously? Where you put words in people's mouths? That's the second time you've done that, so I'm done. You aren't interested in actually discussing this.

I was blessed with two sons and got myself fixed (note: 2 kids is below replacement rate), so I've done far more good for this planet than you will _ever_ understand.
What exactly is your definition of evil? This seems like such a hyperbolic statement.
I believe you can work on your handwriting the same way you work on drawing.

I learned to write pretty much by myself after my parents taught me to read and I didn't practice the m's and the o's exercises in 1st class (since I already _could_ write). This ended up in a horrible handwriting, which a lot of teachers criticized without offering any solution.

At the age of 14 I received an old metal dip-pen and I loved it but I didn't like the outcome, so... I started practicing, writing alphabets, letters, words, sentences, just for the pleasure of using the pen and finding the right shape for each letter. It is still a work in process though as I sometimes change the way I shape one or another letter and I still from time to time write down a couple alphabets.

I'm not claiming my handwriting is now fabulous, far from that, but I'm at least not ashamed of it and would gladly use it as a font (where appropriate).
Ah, I missed the point that this network would eschew the internet totally. I now realize that the top comment and even the excerpt say exactly that.

One of the great parts about it being Ubuntu is that you can simply remove the Amazon stuff: http://askubuntu.com/questions/192269/how-can-i-remove-amazo...

I'm running Ubuntu right now and love it. I do wish that it didn't come with Amazon by default, but as a free OS, I accept that there's going to be some of that sort of thing happening.

Regarding battery, I was under the impression that it would charge when being used as a desktop. Is this not correct?
Tuition is a magnitude higher now than it was in the 90's.
I agree strongly about #1. I can totally see where they were coming from (and frankly they are truly in uncharted waters with this funding campaign -- nobody has really ever attempted a crowd funding initiative quite like this one), but you're absolutely right. $600-800 is a lot of money for most people, and the constant fluctuation and uncertainty about pricing and the fundraising effort is definitely hurting their cause, I believe.

What they should have done, perhaps, was go to Bloomberg et al before going public with this. Starting out with $500k in the pot and strong corporate backing locking the price (or at least making the tiers predictable) would have gone a long way.
Great UI. What service did you use to create the product placement screenshots?
I am honestly rooting for the guy. The way these contracts are made put the full burden on the customer and absolve the contract makers. I see similar things done with recent xbox TOS where you revoke your own right to make a class action lawsuit.

But in the end of the day, it's irrelevant, banks will use stronger language next time.
I've got some bad news for you about the US and Britain. I assume you know about Churchill's prefered method for dealing with 'uncivilized tribes', poison gas?
When I looked at this, and ran my primitive simulations, I decided that it really, really, mattered when you were born. 70 year averages, or 140 year averages, matter very little when markets and economies turn on spans of decades.

I mean, we know that if you put a bundle in the market in 1980, you did pretty well. you did the same in 2000, not so much.

No average can make that easier.

edit: put differently, none of us live long enough to benefit from 140 year averages

If you're planning long term then current interest rates don't matter as much. I think they should also stress the costs of investing and not just a "rise in stock price", they are many places you can make or lose money if you're not careful and in the long run .08% is a big deal.
I completely understand time value of money, and I'm going to propose an alternative way of thinking about retirement:

You may want to assume no rate of return above the rate of inflation over the long term in your retirement calculation.

Why? Because, if you assume you have a rate of return, you must assume you are taking risk in order to get returns above the risk-free rate.

Rather than assuming you will earn interest in the market, people may want to consider the strategy of saving like they won't earn interest and scaling back as they get older.

The OP suggests that the past 139 years may not look like the future 139 years. I'd say they almost definitely won't.

The current generation entering retirement has very big problems ahead, and the younger 20-35 year old generation will have even larger problems with retirement.

If you follow my strategy, retirement planning is easy:

1) Assume no inflation in either investments, salary, future needs (this makes sense since they match)

2) Figure out how much money you want to live on in retirement using today's dollars.

3) Divide the number by an assumed interest rate. I'm using 5% for my retirement. (that number is higher than you would get today in income and lower than what has occurred over a long period of time.)

In order to have $100,000 a year salary in retirement, you would need to have $2M in the bank in today's dollars.

+++This isn't a perfect calculation, but seems far more realistic than assuming you will earn a return above inflation. (An alternative would be to assume you earn a leveraged return above inflation. Its more risky, but could be argued.)
Not to contradict your point, but what matters from this perspective is healthy life, not lifespan.

If you're healthy enough that working to maintain whatever income you need or want (you might work less, because you need less, or go without working if you can; this is about having the option) remains a reasonable prospect till 75, and drop dead at 76, then retirement isn't a huge issue.

We don't, strictly speaking, need people to live to be 150 to solve the retirement problem. (In fact, them living that long in poor health would be counterproductive; however, it's almost a certainty that radical life extension requires rejuvenation.) We just need for people to be healthy and able to work while they are alive.
I don't see your point. It's not an argument, it's an observation: "outside of your bubble, the rest of us see this clearly". Pretty much the opposite of what you are objecting to.
Apple should be restricting this, not us. But of course they aren't very good at things that aren't in the following categories: hardware.

Don't assume all governments are tyrannical as the US.

Brazil once fired a bunch of people from intelligence AND police after they found out they cooperated, with warrants, to wiretap a known big criminal. The population was outraged, but it was clear, intelligence was not authorized to wiretap Brazilians, in fact the punishment for that was the actual removal of all.wiretapping equipment from the agency ( I think it is stupid that punishment... )

I am very sure our intelligence have no crazy ass large scale espionage like US is doing to its own citizens.
Pinterest Becomes E-Commerce Contender With Introduction of Price Drop Alerts
When I was applying for school (which was a while ago) public schools were actually getting hard to get into, because they were cheaper and college was becoming a popular thing, everyone was going, even people who it would be a waste of time for. All the psychology, art history, and undeclared majors were flocking there. I found a private school that was not much more expensive.

It is seriously not realistic that everyone go to public school. Also, public school funding is being cut, and students are being asked to pay bigger part of the tuition. Also, public school prices vary a lot by state.

Private universities might have a bigger sticker price, but there's more room for leeway. There's need based grants that can be given out by the school itself, for example (I got them from mine). I don't know if public schools can do this.

I believe he means that the (Australian) customers love PayPal, not the merchants.

It might be a disadvantage for the merchant to use PayPal but the customers in Australia on a whole may prefer PayPal to other payment solutions online. The perception that it is safe or what not. If the customers don't perceive your service as a safe option they probably will not buy your product.
IIRC the average rate of return for the stock market has been pretty stable. There's the dramatic examples where it spiked above and below the average but those even out and that's about 9% iirc.

>4) Why are we to believe the next 40 years will be like the last 139? The last 139 had a different set of wars, different stages of development, a different tax regime, and different government.

Yes, past performance isn't a good thing to go on, but speculating on the future regulatory environment and business environment and the rabbit hole of poorly understood interactions is even less useful.
>Maybe I am an eternal optimist but in my opinion, it's impossible to keep all that crazy stuff under wraps for long

It was kept under wraps for a long time. Those IRS training materials which mentioned DEA/SOD intercepts were from 2005-2007. Each of the little pieces needed to understand what's going on has been available for a long time, but we all collectively failed to put it together[1].
