I'm really glad you brought this up! This topic is actually very relevant to what we're trying to do with Docker.

Think of it this way: we (the creators of an open-source project) have built for our project an infrastructure capable of supporting its long-term development and success without falling victim to the "openbsd effect". We hijacked for ourselves a venture-backed company and are experimenting with a symbiotic relationship where both the project and the business win without corrupting each other. We get financial, legal and marketing "artillery" in the form of a corporate structure which is dedicated to the success of the project without distorting it. We have large stakeholder (me) who is also the maintainer of the open-source project. We have a CEO (Ben Golub) with a track record of incredible success in general, of successfully managing an open-source company in particular and with a reputation of doing business in an honest and trustworthy way. We have investors with a track record of being patient, seeing the big picture and backing open-source companies and their creators in a sincere way. These guys could have fired me at any point of our transition to this model, and didn't.

So, sure, we got money "casually" (I'll leave that battle for another day), and OpenBSD struggled to get basic funding. And obviously, OpenBSD and Docker are not in the same league as open-source projects (although I hope one day they will be).

But, respectfully, I think this is more than "another startup gets $XXM". We are experimenting with a new model for the funding of open-source. One where the original innovators get to capture some of the value they created, fueling even more innovation in a virtuous circle of "innovation -> better product -> more money -> more innovation".

To me personally, were we to succeed, that would be a welcome change from the current situation, where the initial inventors are trampled by savvier entrepreneurs, who race to the local maximum of the most profitable derivative business model with the highest barriers to entry, and proceed to not reinvest their profits in the original invention, thwarting the virtuous circle. For example, Xensource produced the open-source hypervisor and we got Amazon EC2. Linus produced Git and we got Github. I think these products are great and useful - but they are a local maximum. With the raw material of git, hypervisors and a commodity open-source operating system, we could have produced so much more aggregate wealth!

At Docker we want to be both git and github. We're open-source people first, but we know how to sell a saas product and run it at scale. We know how to raise money and build a profitable business with that money. And that profit gets directly reinvested in the original innovation - Docker.

And I think that's the future of open-source: if we as a community want to see less "OpenBSD episodes", we're going to have to roll up our sleeves and go about building real business value on top of our inventions. Otherwise others will, and we'll only have ourselves to blame.
I would really like to try Mail Pilot, but it doesn't have S/MIME-support. Some people actually use that actively :(.
You're close. I have spent the last few months feeling outrage in response to unoriginal drivel. I am not saying that every position different from mine is drivel, I am just ridiculing the ridiculous.
Buffet pays the $2M premium, and the insurance company will pay out the $1B in case of a winning outcome. Otherwise how is it even insurance?
Well, maybe he did, but I parsed his phrase in the other way:

> ...a way to cheaply produce it without relying on fossil fuels.

It sounds like regarding antimatter as a possible alternative to fossil fuels---which it can't be. (It can be an alternative to oil tankers, I guess.)
Thanks for the kind words!

Yes, we are actually working on exposing our high-level roadmap publicly. We are currently testing a public Trello board, but the choice of tool is not yet final.

All of this is being discussed openly on the #docker and #docker-dev IRC channels on Freenode. Feel free to jump in and say hi!
Here in Chile, I'm not sure where those phones are. You see iPhone and Android everywhere.

My best guess would be people upgrading from a feature phone to a smartphone for the first time. They might buy a really low end Windows phone because of Nokia (they dominated the market for ages) but I have never seen a high end one here in the wild.
See I live on the Gold Coast, Queensland, and commute ~70km to Brisbane for work. So do tens of thousands here, so I find it really fascinating to see similar situations with vastly different consequences due to culture and other variables.
it also comes down to profit.

I can give 100k to docker and expect to get back 200k.
If I give that money to OpenBSD I'm expecting a general "the world may be better" and a loss of 100k.

While a nice thing, this is not what I'd want people managing my money to do.
The idea is you pay $2m, and if you lose, the insurance covers the $1B (or $500m if in one lump sum)
Meta-comment: did this post just get kickbanned [1] from the front page?

I've heard it happens on HN but (as only an occasional commenter) I've never noticed it. It just went from #5 to nonexistent.

Re: costs on regulated markets are higher than on black market.

Decriminalization of pot has decreased marijuana prices. One of the reasons it's been opposed. To the extent of causing concerns among producers, if I recall stories correctly.

Re: glue sniffing.

Who's producing that glue? Yes, under dire and bleak circumstances people will resort to all sorts of destructive distractions. Wood alcohol and Krokodil are other examples. For cases in which there isn't a commercial provider, clearly, the manufacturer / merchant responsibility approach wouldn't apply. You'd still treat the addiction element as a health issue, not a criminal one. Parents drugging their kids might be another matter.

Re: creatives and drugs

I'm specifically talking about negative effects. If it turns out someone's not incurring a negative consequence, then fine. But the alcoholic author who rots their liver while gilding their prose should have a significant portion of health costs covered by the alcohol industry. You can spin your angels on pinheads and generate hypotheticals all you want, but at root what I'm talking about is a clearly articulable net social cost and a responsibility for that cost. You soil your social nest, you pay to clean it up. You know: accepting persona responsibility.

I infer that you ask vaguely leading questions without taking a clear stand on your own position. State yours.
> How long are Microsoft, and those who write about it, going to continue with the delusion that Windows Phone's competition is Apple and iOS, instead of Google and Android?

They compete with both. Iphone does not sell because it sucks outside of US. It is locked down severely restricted platform. It does not even have USB Mass Storage!
I just went through a similar process with ELB. Unfortunately, ELB does not support ECDHE so if you want to use perfect forward secrecy, DHE is your only available option there and it is much slower than ECDHE. I switched to using stud to resolve SSL so that we could enable ECDHE.

What "normal annoyances" keep you away from Thunderbird?
Yeah, i guess it was just too crazy of an idea to work. I personally would have paid $20/month for at least the next 6 months as I am travelling a lot and get tons of value from remote mail access. I agree, though, that with the general value prop if its not worth $5 for most people, it is certainly not worth $20! As a side note: I'm surprised they only had 2k users with a 5M investment round. Seems like they burned cash in some expensive marketing channels.
There are levels of disequilibrium which are possible. They require constant and predictable inputs of energy and resources.

That's a fundamental principle of dissipative systems.
I'd agree on the surface, but I thought I'd support a fellow Austin startup and try the experience anyway. The manual labor I knew was a hack. Beyond that, it's been really nice. Just lower cognitive load - I used to just pile mail when I came home, not interested in sorting through it. If email spam filters were a paid service, that would totally be worth $5 too. Pushing all those big images around must've been taxing for the app, though - its sluggishness took away some of the fun of pushing my physical mail around on a touchscreen.

Good luck with the next thing, guys! Glad you tried for a big problem.
When I first saw this, I thought "really cool" and then I thought about the time that my friends and myself would spend towards developing "the perfect" bracket.

I can't really decide if it's a good use of time bc time is not fungible (easily replaced) or whether or not I am contributing to something that values luck over hard work.

Or maybe I need to get some sleep and get off HN! :)
It can also be a form of healthy joint leadership, especially in this case where there are co-founders in the positions.
Agree. Just bought another 3 yesterday.

At less than $60 each, you can't really beat the price/performance ratio, particularly on a RAID5 environment.
This blog post on the road to Docker 1.0 will also give you an idea of what we have planned albeit the timelines might be a little different: http://blog.docker.io/2013/08/getting-to-docker-1-0/.
Thanks for the tip!

The last time I tried, the standard player didn't work because it depended on their OS-specific native libraries. It's good to know that there's an alternative now.
I actually really liked iOS 7 compared to iOS 6. But it's still not enough to salvage the OS for me.
How to succeed with gender equality at a tech company
Understood. It certainly is better to coalesce data with writev() than to use TCP_CORK.

BTW, from my link:
"If you need to write multiple buffers that are currently in memory you should prefer the gather function writev() before considering TCP_CORK with multiple calls to write()."
The one rather glaring fly in your ointment is that if your system was as secure as you make it out to be you wouldn't have been asking users to change their iCloud passwords after your database was compromised a few months ago.

Well, that's why I said subtly. It's not blatant about it, but it is a deceitful approach.

These kind of tactics are familiar to me from previously working in the web hosting industry, where the tricks of "the eye-catching price is actually the temporary one, you have to look in the details for the real price" and "a coupon code makes it look like your service can do more than it can" are very common.

So is the aftermath, with many people who are confused and upset when the "temporary" part runs out but not quite confused and upset enough to cancel the service.
Buffet (or rather, Berkshire Hathaway) IS the insurance. Quicken is paying the premium to one of Buffet's insurance companies.
That was my first thought as well. I wish I could click on a single language and have it highlight only its direct connections or darken everything else.
requires OS X 10.8... I'm not on mavericks yet. Can't be a good reason.
Yeap, holy shit did I pick a good time to leave.
Congrats on the brave move to launching your own projects.

On a side note, if I were you I would move the project from SourceForge to github. There is barely anyone using sf.net these days and github social features might also help your project to get noticed.
Where the world’s biggest tea drinkers are
Admittedly, Android does it much better by providing oAuth, an easy way to get the users sign in, and of course APIs for almost all the popular features. And also, for installing $0 apps you don't need any credit card details at all. Even the buttons are different "Install" v/s "Buy".
From Forbes: Argentina's black market offers some 10 pesos per dollar, instead of nearly seven at the fixed exchange rate.

So, the open market value of a peso is about 0.10 USD. The official value is 0.15USD.

The official value of 1 peso (0.15USD) is higher than the open market price (0.10USD). Thus the government is overvaluing the peso.

In contrast, 1 CNY is currently worth (0.17USD), i.e. similar to the official value of 1 peso. However, some people argue that it should be worth much more (e.g. 0.25USD).

In your example, exporters are getting screwed through an implicit tax. In my example, exporters are getting an implicit subsidy.

2017 is still a long time in the future. More than enough time for them to innovate.
After I figured out OkCupid I had about a 30%-40% message to date success rate. I've shown friends and while they haven't had quite my success they've drastically increased the number of responses they receive. The key is to keep it simple, 3-4 sentences. First is a funny line about something in her profile to grab her attention, next comment on something shared, finally a funny open ended question. One or two messages later ask her out for drinks.

Don't just say "hi" or write a book, that just doesn't work.

Now I've been off the market for a couple years so things might have changed but more than likely they haven't.
Who is giving up this 200k?

I think that with the proper service infrastructure on top of their open source development model, OpenBSD could also bring in 200k on a 100k investment. But OpenBSD would have to be pushed and marketed as Docker has been, and the service side organized as a for-profit organization.
A few? There are a lot of refs involved in the tournament...
This is so stupid. The fee is equal to the cost of the program. Flushing $1.5 million a year down the toilet. Bizarrely this is a victory as the activists wanted the buses outlawed completely.

SF will always be a second best city until it can face it's true demons: decisions made by ideology, that is, without regard to reality or even common sense. I want the tolerant SF of the late 1960s back - a bunch of dockworkers, businessmen, soldiers, factory workers who were cool enough to let freaks and weirdos take over their city. Now the cultural descendants of those freaks complain if you don't look, talk or get to work like them. This needs to stop.
I'm currently building ghostream (https://github.com/ghostream/ghostream) - it is a data stream processing framework. Having used numerous commercial ones (most notably IBM's Streams), and building various other part-frameworks (i.e. for time and budget reasons focussed on one particular thing) I has an itch to build an open source one (while storm and samza are definitely related, I feel they fall into a slightly different category - I'm all about the streams :) )

It is still in very active development - but the base is solidifying and the new test framework is starting to shape up nicely.

I have already started dog-fooding it in my other personal projects - the most visual of which can be seen here: http://jamielewis.me.uk/posts/2013-11-03-Mapping-Earthquakes...
iClouds PIM stuff uses DAV for syncing. In theory they could issue separate credentials to handle PIM syncing, and keep it all transparent to the user: have an API that devs can use to request a token, or something, from Apple to access DAV, when a request is authenticated through an OS native dialog (only going through apples servers and your device) -- keeping actual iCloud credentials away from the app itself.
DJD28xPGL1XgekaPm9EdLKXXFtA4QF2vxQ — v thanks.
Coming from the ex-CEO of a 24/7 managed hosted service... I absolutely hear you!

So, we'll simply work our buts off to make the risk/reward more and more appealing for you... And in the meantime we would love to go over your particular stack and tell you how far off we are. Apparently we can afford a team of solutions engineers to do that now :)

If you're interested feel free to ping me at solomon@docker.com. I would be honored to explore your cobbled-together infrastructure!
My brain had a hard time processing "billion" with a "B" in the title.

Anyway, it says your odds are a 1 in 4.2 billion for correctly picking the winning 63 games. What that basically means is that we're going to find out if time traveling exists sometime in March.
despite all that inflation bitcoin's volatility is a lot higher.
The half-price for the first few months is misleading, I admit. I'm a careful reader so it didn't bother me.

The coupon code thing is a little weird, but I don't see how you can complain about it: it only increases your limits. It's just a way for them to offer two types of plans: one for people who like to scan most mail, and one for people who don't.
Guess not! I've tried everything listed in the store and everything's nothing short of pathetic
I don't think that bracket submission interface supports the inclusion of error bars, so I'm sure Nate is welcome :)
Well, IBM's HD division was bought by Hitachi, and they're the ones coming out of this smelling of roses, so (subject to what WD do with Hitachi's drive division) your wish is sort-of granted.
Congratulations Solomon and the team. We use docker every day. Thanks for all your hard work!
et voilá! Tu as trouvé la meilleur réponse.

This is the one and only response, you just find the best developers you can, and do not look at their genders. Only 10 out of 100 developers are females ( http://www.forbes.com/sites/lorikozlowski/2012/03/22/women-i... ).

But, also, it is difficult to find a great developer, let's say 1 out of 10. So you will need to interview, on average, 10 women for the position to find a right one, and when you reach 10 women for the interview, you will have 90 men.

It is just about the numbers.
Well accepted.
Just bought it because I heard a few recommendations, and ran into a couple of sloppy bugs. An email that arrived on January 2nd is showing up as arriving January 21st - that's a basic sorting bug. And lines that wrap on other email clients aren't wrapping, without letting me scroll - so there are some lines in my emails that I can never read.
Apple is doomed. Google is forever.
Medium-like Estimated Reading Time
Well, there's a more accurate movie about Jobs being planned, for which Woz is a consultant: http://appleinsider.com/articles/14/01/13/briefly-aaron-sork...

Screenwriter is Aaron Sorkin - he also wrote the screenplay for The Social Network.
There's a market exchange rate (different from the official exchange rate), and if you could buy the pesos for less than that market rate, you could make money.

If you (a bitcoin seller) were to acquire pesos and hold them, it wouldn't work too well, as your money would get inflated away, eliminating and reversing any profit. However, you could instead (i) use them for transactions, or (ii) sell them to somebody else who has, say, dollars, but needs to buy assets in Argentina.
I teach an intro programming class in Python each fall, and this fall I started an open project to help my students learn Python: http://introtopython.org

It's progressing steadily, and people seem to be responding positively to the first project, a tutorial about plotting geospatial data using matplotlib and Basemap: http://introtopython.org/visualization_earthquakes.html

The whole project is on github: https://github.com/ehmatthes/intro_programming

PS I just accidentally ended a 132-day github streak, mostly focused on this project. I stared watching a movie with my wife last night, and at the end of the movie I looked at the clock and realized I forgot to make a commit before 11pm. No matter, it was never about the streak anyway. :)
> Aaron, I am sorry to say, has died in vain.

This contrived conclusion mars an otherwise sensitive synopsis of the film, and through that, Aaron's life. The drive to reform CFAA continues. Strides are being made for open access to research [0], the cause that lead to Aaron's conviction. The Strongbox/Deaddrop project is being actively developed and deployed to protect journalist-source communication and empower whistleblowers all over the world. [1]

The fight is not over - it has only just begun.

This would only be true if every game was an exact 50-50 toss up and the games were not dependent on each other. In reality, many of the matches are skewed to one side or the other (some heavily so) and certain teams have strengths and weaknesses that work better and worse against various other teams.
I guess they have done that for triggering a reset of the validity of the "apple token" that was compromised.
Or uncaught match fixing :)

The article is very wrong about 1 in 4.3 billion being the odds though. That's just 1 in 2^32 which isn't even close to the correct math for figuring the odds.

Accounting for skilled handicapping, the consensus seems to be 1:1 billion odds. Maximum 10 million entries, so there's roughly a 1 in 1000 chance we'll have a legit winner (well, that would be assuming everyone played with near optimal strategies).
There has been a movement called the "new urbanism," starting in the 1980s, that emphasized walkable neighborhoods rather than car-focused areas. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Urbanism

Of course, cars also have an impact on the environment which many northern Californians dislike. Oddly enough, the same people don't seem to mind flying, even though one or two transatlantic flights can emit as much carbon dioxide per person as an entire year of driving.

Personally, I like walkable neighborhoods. I would not want to live in a place where I couldn't walk or bike to a downtown area. However, I think the focus on "urbaner than thou" is misguided. I've always liked medium density areas the best.
Hey, that sounds like a really great project. I would love to hear more! Feel free to email me at solomon@docker.com
Shared pain.

If I live in SF, I have to make a choice: take somewhat undesirable public transportation, drive my car in hellish traffic, or limit where I live (or where I work) to walking distance.

So when there's someone who has a difference choice that is pretty pain-free, of course it pisses people off. There's a feeling that some of these employees would not live in SF if they did not have the partybus, and thus rents are higher, too.
Graph in the middle of that page is zoomable
Neighborhoods matter a lot, as well as school districts. Your old apartment might have had a super awesome school district, or been walking distance to an Apple building, or something. I'll stop speculating :)
Have we simply replaced tables with div's?
CSS has helped make content more semantic to made using tables redundant. However the way most sites are being developed using CSS frameworks and their classes, it feels we have simply replace tables with div's.

What do you think?
