Late response, sorry.

Fake it until you make it. For me, the transformation took about 3 years.

How you talk changes how you think.

Out of ideas, I decided to I'd stop being angry by pretending to be happy. It started out sarcastically. How are you? Oh, I'm FANTASTIC, thank you for asking. People responded positively, which is a nice reinforcement. Fortunately, my sarcasm is too subtle for most people to key on.

I wasn't even aware that it was working. Then one day I woke and said "Wow, I'm FANTASTIC!" I had to do a double take. It was true. When did that happen? I have no idea when I crossed the tipping point from angry to happy.

Now being happy isn't always true. Just mostly true. And it helps.

So I encourage you to pretend to be whoever you want to be, until it becomes (more) true.

Happy Hunting.
Durability, in the context of money, simply means that it doesn't physically degrade over time.

In that sense, bitcoins are perfectly durable.
The 42 layer limit is still there... But not for long! There is a fix underway to remove the limitation from all drivers, including aufs.

Instead of lifting the limit for some drivers first (which would mean some images on the index could only be used by certain drivers - something we really want to avoid), we're artificially enforcing the limit on all drivers until it can be lifted altogether.

If you want to follow the progress of the fix: https://github.com/shykes/docker/pull/66

(This pull request is on my personal fork because that's where the storage driver feature branch lived until it was merged. Most of the action is usually on the main repo).
Can anyone please tell about the overhead of Docker, compared to no-container scenario (not against a fat vm scenario)? I am a "dev" not "ops", but we might make use of Docker in our rapidly growing service oriented backend... Thanks
I've been trying to reduce my data hoarding. I had a larger back-up hard drive go down and take a lot of data with it. I felt sick knowing I potentially lost years of funny images, videos, music, writings, etc.

What I found is I had back ups of back ups of the things I actually cared about and the things I lost I hadn't truly looked at in a long time. A lot of the music I hadn't listened to in years.

I have found that I can fit on small SSD drives and as a result of the things I do wish I hadn't lost, I'm just keeping up with the practice of keeping multiple back ups.

TL:DR: I have made an effort to keep a smaller data footprint instead of hoarding.

I just added the names that were put forward in the original Ask HN post. I've added Sheryl Sandberg and Marissa Mayer to the poll options.
The behavior I saw with NSA articles is they were already penalized by the time they hit the front page, while other articles were up for minutes or so before getting penalized. This implies (but of course doesn't prove) the penalty is automatically applied, not the result of flagging. (And I mention flagging three times in the article.) Also, there is code in the published source to automatically penalize articles based on "rallying cry" words in the title. It's possible people are flagging NSA articles right off the "new" page, but it really looks like they are getting automatically penalized.

Edit: Several people said I should have said more in the article about flagging. There's no way to distinguish between penalties applied by administrators and penalties due to flagging. So there's not much I can say.
Speaking of which wall, I'm surprised not to have heard of any impact on the Scotland referendum of these kinds of rights restrictions.

2nd cousins?! Are you serious?
Well then the onus is on them to show why Somalia is not a good example, I'd say. Somalia had no government for a decade or two. Since there aren't really different ways to organize "no government" (what with there being no entity to organize anything) then surely there's no room for any differences.
I don't disagree with the article. I'm objecting to the characterization 'dalek_cannes makes about security versus freedom as a binary affair. Balancing of security versus freedom is written in to the Constitution. We're just arguing about the appropriate balance. But grandstanding like the OP is much easier when dealing with binary things than when dealing with balancing.

If you rely on Internet polls to deduce what the sentiment of the country is then Snowden is an American hero, Ron Paul should be president, and there would be no more software patents.

That is to say that Internet polls grossly over represent certain minority beliefs.

If it actually produces 1MW of power from a shipping container, even if all other claims were false, I'd think this would be useful in emergency/disaster zones.
Is it possible to have multiple instances of the same app running in Docker containers and having readonly access to a "global" memory linked file? What I'm trying to achieve is having sand-boxed consumers having access to some shared resource.
I don't think Edward Snowden should be person of the year. Not because I don't think he did something important because he did. I truly think what he did was the right thing. But he needs to stand trial in the US so the we the people can see how extreme our government has become.

He needs to be like batman, sacrifice his mind, body and freedom for a cause that people will remember him for.

But he's in Russia and he's never coming back to the US so this will be a on going thing for years even decades where no one but few people will remember him and our blight.
> Can I use Docker to isolate different servers

That's the idea. Docker is based on LXC which provides configurable isolation between process groups. So, you could run your http in one container, your database in another, and your application server in a 3rd and have reasonable confidence that they can only talk to each other the way you want them to.
Nice. Now the question whether Andrea Rossi is a conman will be settled once and for all. I'm looking forward to the first reviews.

Why the focus on CO²? We're finding new potential disasters every other month.

There's really no telling what CO² will do to the planet, even though we can guesstimate the result. What about the jellyfish boom? The consequences for that are pretty straight forward. What about the immunization of various diseases? We're already resorting to burning crops and land.
As a "non programmer" this excites me greatly. I learned Python by way of Django and can't wait to stand on some Go giant shoulders.
I can understand that you were excited to be the one to create the poll, but I think you did a very poor job of it.

By the time you added the most recent names to the poll (22 minutes after creating it) at least one name already had 100+ votes.

You've also inexplicably put Narendra Modi on there (misspelled) even though he's not in tech.

This is why my projects have always been willing to cut a deal with newbies to exchange stupid question credits for doc patches - i.e. "if you feel X is underdocumented, the core team will happily give you a personal tour of X provided you write up the results for the next guy to read" - which tends to help the incentive problem.

It's both. Everyone using docker benefits from the "software distribution" feature. Some people using docker also benefit from the security and isolation features - it depends on your needs and the security profile of your application. Because the underlying namespacing features of the kernel are still young, it's recommended to avoid running untrusted code as root inside a container on a shared machine. If you drop privileges inside the container, use an additional layer of security like SELinux, grsec, apparmor etc. then it is absolutely possible and viable in production.

It's only a matter of time before linux namespaces get more scrutiny and people grow more comfortable with them as a first-class security mechanism. It took a while for OpenVZ to get there, but not there are hosting providers using it for VPS offerings.

On top of namespacing, docker manages other aspects of the isolation including firewalling between containers and the outside world (currently optional but soon to be mandatory), whitelisting of traffic between certain containers, etc.

Two women who knew each other, and who both found out that he'd slept with both of them. If it had been two strangers who did this independently of each other, I'd have agreed with you, but it was not.

It is also worth pointing out that it is not clear that they lied. They did not allege rape. They asked questions of the police that led the police to unilaterally start a rape investigation that was subsequently shut down by the senior prosecutor for lack of any evidence.

It was first when a second prosecutor unusually decided to override and take over the case that police against started going after Assange and the case escalated.

One of the women furthermore has refused to sign her statements to the police, and there are allegations that the interviews were carried out in violation of police procedures (a friend of one of the women worked at the police station in question and was involved in the interviews).

Not mentioned in the article is that the "immersion heater" required power -- to sustain the cold fusion reaction, of course -- totals just over 1 MW continuous.

Considering how intrusive rape prosecutions can be for the victim, none of this is surprising. Often the only thing that motivates a rape victim to press charges is the knowledge that the rapist has raped other women in the past and is likely to rape other women in the future if he isn't stopped.

One thing I've been wondering is whether the 42 limit was related to performance considerations. If yes, I actually somewhat like it - I'm a proponent to making systems behave in a way that they won't come around and bite you. Will a container based on, say, 200 layers still load and run with reasonable performance?

You will be able to have multiple Ubuntu servers running on one Ubuntu VPS on Digital Ocean.
Each of them may have some initial state (installed some software, configuration) that you will be able to spawn as separate virtual machine. The "inside" machine will consume mnimal amount of memory (for running applications) and not for whole OS as in case of "real virtual machine". Also, you will be able to spawn and destroy new VMS very fast (under 1s).

Its worth thinking what do we want?

- That we have good and effective Intellectual Property laws. It seems one of the big lessons of the Industrial revolution was the right property laws. The principles behind patents and copyright law make sense in this regard. Its the specifics that have problems.

- The analogy to physical property is worth following more deeply - countries such as in S America, ie Chilie, are trying to undergo property law revolutions, and often local knowledge is clear - everyone "knows" that Juan lives in that building and has done since he was born, and maintains it for his family. Therefore it is "his" house. Our IP laws generally need to come to some agreement on a similar situation - where there is clear contentious dispute, local (ie expert) knowledge is needed.

- This is more or less what is happening here - someone is claiming Juan's house was actually their house. A jury was asked to decide with clear expert local knowledge. So the process is what we want. Its just in this example we choose a bunch of idiots for the jury.

- Software should be copyright. This will cause difficulties in "porting" software, and in doing the same algorithm in php and then perl.

summary: IP rights is more likely to be a good thing than a bad thing, just like property rights. However bad implementations of property law have seemingly held back countries like Brazil / Chile, and we do not really know what IP law should look like to be most suited. I prefer allowing local knowledge to be primary in cases of dispute.

ITT: People who haven't used PHP since 4.2 think they know what the language is like and base all their opinions on a language version over 10 years old.

I hate when PHP pops up here on HN, 90% of the people flapping their gabs don't or haven't used PHP for many many years, and when they did it was some Indian's crap code so they spend their time talking shit about a language because they had to fix a bug in Hinderbar's PHP spaghetti from 2003.
We can't have a currency competing with the US dollar. If I was the US, I'd love a domestic (crypto) digital dollar. If bitcoin fails people lose faith, and I present the solution for a modern society: the Digital Dollar, unbreakable crypto and easy for world-wide use and backed by the full faith of the US government/NSA. And: I could tax every transaction, even the smallest ones on Craigs List/eBay.
There are probably a host of questions like that, and I am not an economist, so I cannot answer them (I am not sure economists can, though).

What is important is to have the will to do something like that. Only then will it become apparent if we can actually do it.

I think this is very similar to writing software. You know roughly what you want it to achieve, but you don't know yet exactly how.
For process isolation, the overhead is approximately zero. It adds a few milliseconds to initial execution time, then CPU and memory consumption of your process should be undistinguishable from a no-container scenario.

For disk IO, as long as you use data volumes [1] for performance-critical directories (typically the database files), then overhead is also zero. For other directories, you incur the overhead of the underlying copy-on-write driver. That overhead varies from negligible (aufs) to very small (devicemapper). Either way that overhead ends up not mattering in production because those files are typically read/written very unfrequently (otherwise they would be in volumes).
