Isn't $299 a year a lot of money? Here in London the major supermarkets have time slots where they deliver for free (typically late in the evening), but even a prime time delivery, let's say, Sunday morning, costs no more than £5. The most upmarket online vendor, Ocado, offers one year of free deliveries, anytime, for £40.

Ok, there's also Amazon Prime thrown in, which is good; and I suppose that in the Bay Area the average delivery journey is longer than in London. Still, it seems a bit steep to me. Maybe it tries to place itself as a luxury service in the Amazon range?
I think they'd struggle more than some companies that have done that though - Facebook and Twitter have huge network effects which makes them super difficult to replace, Snapchat just seems so replaceable. If they annoy people in hyper local friendship groups they'll just find something else.. as long as they convince their friends to follow they lose nothing.
Yea but if it's in the Bay Area it's news worthy innovation.

(e.g. I ordered food from NTUC, Carrefour (when they were still around) and Cold Storage super market websites for delivery in Singapore three, four years ago. They have done it even longer than that)
North Beach doesn't seem covered.

$50 million is 5% of the net worth of someone worth exactly $1 billion. That's equivalent to someone worth $150,000 investing $7,500. Not quite a quarter down the slot machine but an amount one can still gamble with and not destroy their life.

Networking for Docker containers is bridged, so iptables are per container.

I doubt simply "finding out" would guarantee enforcement. They'd need time and an inclination to care, and tangible evidence. If there was no crime by the issuer other than being a little too trustworthy, it's unclear what the prioritization and penalties would be.

I suspect the bigger risk is that the buyer – the not-really-'accredited' – has some dispute with the company and sues, causing problems because the various assumptions-of-competence (that come with 'accredited' status) are then voided. It gives a bad-faith or disgruntled investor more leverage over the issuer.
The crappy part about this is that people can do this to sink competitors. Why bother lowering your prices? Just spend a few hundred dollars to have spammers plaster links to competitors on hacked sites... :(
I have spent a lot of time in SF, and live in NY.

You don't mean this because you don't know what it means to have the police force we have here. Also, we have street people too. So it turns out, 'your problems' doesn't just magically disappear when you get different mayor in office.
This "marketing vs. engineering" debate is much wider than just Docker, I think, and it's a big concern for me. My big worry is that Docker becomes a target of unfair criticism just because it's successful and hyped beyond our control.

I didn't write this particular article, but I do write our release announcements. Here's the last I wrote: http://blog.docker.io/2013/11/docker-0-7-docker-now-runs-on-... . If you see any bullshit in there, please let me know.

My problem is this: On the one hand, Docker's success so far is engineer-driven. If you visit our IRC channel or follow our github repo, you'll see what I mean. This week we merged 71 pull requests from 44 people. Real engineering teams are using Docker and giving presentations about why it makes their jobs easier. Our marketing consists of helping them meetup in the smae place and show each other their latest hacks.

On the other hand, there is a lot of demand to democratize the story behind docker and containers in general - to explain in plain language why they are important and can change the way software is built and distributed. Typically these demands come from engineers who need to convince their management to allow for broader use of Docker. As a result we produced the now famous shipping container analogy, produced a high-level slide deck, emphasized the high-level advantages of Docker, etc. This has helped a lot of non-experts to realize the importance of what we're doing and how it will affect them.

As a result you get short, appealing sentences like "with Docker you can build an application once, and run it anywhere". Of course, there are caveats - there always are - this or that machine cannot run it, certain versions of Linux don't support it etc. etc. Likewise you could argue that shipping containers can't actually be used for all freight - you can't ship live animals in them! Oil tankers don't use shipping containers! Those arguments are correct, but don't change the fact that shipping containers have changed the World economy in a big way - and so will containers.

My dilemma is that, as an engineer myself, I sympathize with you, and frankly I want you, my peer, to like my work. But every project needs marketing - even Linux, which certainly wouldn't be what it is today if many people didn't spend time and money explaining how it can change the World.

Long story short: I think we engineers live in the perpetual hypocrisy of denouncing marketing without realizing just how much we depend on it.
>is this made entirely in chrome?

>chrome is a language

Google Chrome is a botnet. Not a programming language. Having it installed on your computer keep Google "in the know" because literally everything you type is key logged and sent to Google HQ.
Almost. Although I don't remember the details, IBM has Live Partition Mobility for WPARs on AIX. They were looking for differentiation from Solaris Containers at the time and bought a startup called Meiosys, which had some tech which helped them add live migration to WPARs.
Missing an /s tag? Perhaps they, or your home ISP should charge access to hacker news?
That's not true. There was an article that recently crossed the front page of HN by a victim of one of these sites, and her research revealed that a large fraction (possibly over half, I don't remember) of victims gas their photos obtained by hacking, not by a vengeful ex who already had legal access to the photos.
I was sort of trying to not make it sound like a good idea.
I guess that would make planets meteorsexuals.

codez, for those focusing on the UI aspect, I'd say those are minor issues. If you'd like to make this more usable, add templates/examples somewhere for things like Quad Charts [1], Kanban [2], Zachman Enterprise Architecture [3], Lean Canvas [4], Business Model Canvas [5], etc. Great job!

Flew out and into SJC yesterday on SW and all day wifi was $8 (covered both trips). With roundtrip fair costing anywhere from $200-$300, I'd rather pay for wifi than send some texts to iOS only users for $2. Sounds kind of lame.
That is a false standard of rationality. Nobody has complete information, ever. Nobody is omniscient.

To restate my point without sarcasm:

If somebody genuinely wants to risk their money as an investor, it's not in their self-interest for us to forbid them to do so. That is what they want to do. And it's also not in anyone else's self-interest to forbid them from doing it. Investment and entrepreneurship is what drives the economy.

More abstractly: There is no valid chain of logic that starts at perceptual reality and ends in the conclusion that we should forbid people from investing as they please.

I'm not claiming that this exhausts the topic---there are objections you can raise, but I believe I would always be able to answer them. (I've dedicated much of my life to these kinds of philosophical issues and have achieved a rare level of clarity on them, but I recognize that from your point of view, this is just an arbitrary assertion.)

It's unlikely that they're inspecting the packets at a level deep enough to tell what they actually are. More likely that they're just letting you access certain servers for $2.

"However, it’s now confirmed through court documents and TechCrunch’s inside sources that Tencent has already invested in Snapchat, likely during the Series B round."

Given the fact they secretly invested in series B round and didn't disclose it.

Red Angus, with some commercial cattle as ET recips. I don't know anything about "heritage" breeds. I'd recommend Red Angus for all but the very hottest parts of the USA (and other nations at similar latitudes): they tolerate heat better than Black Angus but after all most of the genetics did come from Scotland! They are very docile, and the breed organization emphasizes valuable commercial traits like calving ease, weight gain, and ribeye area. Red Angus bulls are a great cross if your herd needs better carcasses, maternal characteristics, or thriftiness. See http://redangus.org/ for more info.
Did not know that, cheers!
It's not blaming the victim.

It's simply stating that in complicated relationships where feelings are likely to get hurt and people do enact various forms of vengeance (women included), it's best to have a little vigilance.

Expecting that no former lover will ever act out against you is unrealistic.

The 'sexting' thing has gotten out of hand, to the point where kids are being put into jail for having photos of underage kids of the same age, celeb photos are leaked all the time, etc... It's better to avoid taking the photos than to try avoid the consequences later.
This is actually really funny, though I don't quite have the words to explain why I think it's humorous.

Concur. But WASD works.
This is it, dead on.

The problem is not incentivizing just your old textile/paper-processing county, it's competing with all of the other ones. So at the end of the day hopefully everyone's done their homework and the community is still making more money than it was before.
The issue in this case was not about the rights on these pictures, it was about what was done with them, apart from IE issues. You can't enter into a contract that will let you do illegal things to somebody. So you can't enter into a contract that will let you extort her. Of course once a contract exists that says you can do anything you want with the pictures, the bar for being 'extortion' will be much higher. It will still be contextually defined by a judge though. It all depends on the exact circumstances.
(1) Maybe not.

(2) If it is, so what? If any kind of publication is "journalism", than "journalism" isn't a free pass.

The reality is that to the extent that lascivious photos are "journalism", then we recognize different degrees of "journalism"; it's not a binary state.
In Germany where postal delivery services are all private, your UPS example actually has happened.

http://www.dhl.de/de/paket/pakete-empfangen/packstation.html

The Deutsche Post DHL Packstations are tied into SMS notifications, and are an optional location you can have letters or parcels delivered to after you've registered for the service. They are located at places like supermarkets. I don't know for certain, but as a private company, I'm sure that DHL is covering the costs of the packstations and making it work from a business perspective.

Other package delivery services like Hermes take different approaches, using convenience stores, bookshops, and other small businesses in the area as package drop-off/pickup centres.

I always find it interesting how weirdly old-fashioned the discussion around mail service monopoly is in the US and Canada while 'socialist' Europe privatized the national postal systems years ago, and Deutsche Post fully lost their monopoly on letter delivery in 2008.
I'm confused.

We shouldn't worry about terrorism because the likelyhood of dying from it is very low, but we should worry about genetically engineered virus because the likelyhood of dying from it is very high?

Last time I checked NO ONE ever died from a genetically engineered virus.
The ability to borrow art from the Fine Art Fund sounds like a fantastic benefit of being an investor.
The photos often aren't selfies. If they are, the process for getting them removed is still onerous, and their publication remains malicious and (in this case and others) extortionate.
One perspective is that a friend got screwed out of shares. Another view is the real drivers behind the company were smart to not give a dispensable person a third of the company, and are seeking a discount on mistakenly made legal commitments by drawing out the litigation. As an investor I would take the second view. The deposition video also shows Spiegel is clearly CEO material.
Free? All the airlines I've been on had wifi but usually charged for it.
Linux network namespaces let you have multiple independent network stacks in linux. That means routing tables, interfaces, routing tables, IP addresses, etc.

Each container gets its own network namespace (along with other namespaces like hostname, pids, users, ipc, filesystem mounts). Anything not handled by one of the 6 namespaces is the same across all containers. That includes things like what kernel modules are loaded, the system clock, etc.

Because a user with root can manipulate the kernel in many ways, I wouldn't give root to an untrusted user and assume containers were enough to contain them. Certainly if they can load a custom kernel module it's game over, but I'd bet there's plenty of other ways to break out too.
> What about a Docker cluster

Working on it :)

Certain elements are already in place - for example docker already has a remote api, and we introduced a "links" feature to connect containers to each other. We are still fleshing this out, but in the coming weeks you should see a robust end-to-end solution for standing up an entire cluster of docker hosts and interact with them as a cohesive unit.

I made a similar website months ago doing exact the same thing by reverse engineering the API. It's still illegal, though.
Prior to the securities Act of 1933, the measure of viability of a particular investment vehicle was on a state-by-state basis where they wouldn't allow investment vehicles that were unlikely to return a positive return to most investors (see Blue Sky Laws). The Act required all securities to be traded to be registered (in a nutshell), but allowed a loophole that effectively said "if the investor can afford to lose all of their investment, you don't need to go through the trouble of registering it, and you can rely on the investor to judge the value of the investment."

Who am I? I have no intent to judge, however, as the act was prompted not by fantasy, but by watching many, many investors get sold on bad deals via poor information. In fact, the event which led to this was considered one of the greatest financial disasters in the history of America.

So, you may be smart - and you may in fact be smarter than all of the swindlers who may try to take your money. I'd wager most who don't invest as a primary exercise aren't that smart (I only need to look back a couple of years), and I can't imagine how you'd propose to change a -means- test with an -abilities- test. Before you can invest in an oil well, should you be required to prove that you are above average in knowledge about the business of running oil wells?
> We as a society should expend energy and resources fixing this problem at its root

This raises an interesting question: what is the root (I'm genuinely asking)? It seems like a hard question along the lines of "what makes people mentally ill?". While I'm against permanent welfare, I wouldn't mind if my taxes went to curing these people and making sure they become functioning, productive members of society. I don't really know how or if we can do that.
Bear in mind that Marc Randazza is pretty heavily invested in online extortion schemes that're based around user content being legal and protected by Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act in general; he's primarily employed by a company that makes their money that way, just in a less controversial field than revenge porn. It'll be interesting to see his reaction.

Edit: for the downvoters, he was and is hired on this issue by a network of sites called ViaView Inc; most news coverage mentions their site Bullyville. Substantially all of the ads on that network of sites are either for other sites in the network - especially Cheaterville.com - or for services offering to remove "defamatory" content from Cheaterville for fees in excess of $1000. (For a while early on in his crusade, there were no other external ads on any of the sites and no information on how to advertise with any of them.)

If this site used to rank well for things like "photo pillows", it's not because it was the best site to show users, but rather, it was because the site was being propped up by self made backlinks. Here are some of the links that are all anchored with the word "photo pillows":

http://www.bobmarketing.com/links/page_Business_Marketing_17...

http://stardir.info/stardir/subcategory.asp?IDsubcate=494&of...

http://www.cyberpathway.com/cgi-bin/recip/internet/recip.cgi

The majority of the backlink profile is made up of self made low quality directory links.

It's possible that the Penguin algorithm has realized this and as a result is not trusting links to the site. But, it's also possible that Google has just gotten better at not counting this type of link when it comes to ranking. It's also possible that the site is under a manual penalty (which would be evident by looking at the Webmaster Tools manual spam action tool.)

When I look at the site's keyword positions on semrush.com, it appears that the rankings started a gradual decline as of May 2013. There was a Penguin refresh on May 23, so this is certainly a possibility. If the site is affected by Penguin, then in order to make the algorithm trust the site again, she's going to have to disavow each of the links that are self made. If there are good, truly natural links in the profile then she stands a chance of ranking well again. But, the likelihood is that the site won't get back to the previous rankings by just clearing up the backlinks because those rankings were not deserved in the first place.

It's not Google's fault that this site is not ranking well now. But, one could argue that it was Google's heavy reliance on links and on a system that could be scammed that allowed this site to reign for the time that it did.
One of my favorite Dilbert strips is Asok asking "Why is this document stamped CONFIDENTIAL? If I spent my entire life trying, I would not be able to find anyone who cared to read it."
Haha, oh, I'm not a rubyist. Far from it; I'm a systems programmer. My ruby experience comes from writing add-ons for a hobbiest video game engine. I agree that ruby is often quite inefficient.

However, in this case, the number 23 comes from the amount of space that would be needed to store the smallest string in heap memory after taking into account malloc's bookkeeping info and whatnot.

As an aside, if you already knew the answer, why go on a rant that makes you seem ignorant?
