"Systemd and Docker don’t work well together as they both attempt to manage control groups."

Has anybody hit actual issues with this? Having used Docker and systemd concurrently for a while, I can't say this has every caused conflicts, any more than the fact that both myself and my guests manage drinks in my fridge.

I don't see any way to protect users against forgetting their encryption passphrase, or losing their private key, without offloading trust somewhere. Except for backups, anyway.

It can be very hard to know whether you have the right public key, especially for people that you know only from online activity. And it's not uncommon to find multiple unrevoked keys, with the same email address.

But check out https://keybase.io/mirimir. You can easily get a GnuPG key that signed proofs in my profile here, on GitHub, and on reddit. Also, the email address in my key is linked to a Gravatar that StackExchange and other sites use. So whoever I am, you can be confident that I control that GnuPG key.
Haha, I remember having to turn the original PlayStation upside down to play RE2 because the design placed the motor for the disc tray right under the laser and the heat would cause distortions in the beam ... or so I was lead to believe. Either way, it made the PS play games for another few years. A "magic" button, indeed.
I found sama's class (http://startupclass.samaltman.com) to be a particularly great collection of knowledge. I remember catching a few almost subtle drops of wisdom that I'd have underappreciated had I not previously known some info I'd already picked up by studying other educational resources on startups. I'm sure there are more that I did not catch. So if this class is one of the early resources you utilize, then I'd suggest you revisit it again later as well.

Disabling things I don't need, like asset pipeline for API dev is pretty quick: config.assets.enabled and config.generators.assets set to false and you don't have to worry about generators creating any unnecessary js/css in that scenario.

The lack of explanation about why they didn't hire you is completely normal in California. Saying nothing at all ensures they don't say anything that can be interpreted as discrimination, minimizing their legal exposure.

They have nothing to gain by explaining and plenty to lose if they say something stupid.
At least from Australia, you can still perform a verbatim search by clicking "search tools", "all results", then changing the option to "verbatim". I still sometimes forget I can do this and wonder why Google is ignoring several of my qualifying terms.

That's why they have system-docker as PID 1, running essential services in containers.

> Which means the people don't really have a say in the matter.

Remember that time when the FCC made available for public comment new rules regarding internet fast lanes? Remember when, after receiving so many comments that their database crashed, they decided that it might not be a good idea?

> Once new FCC powers are in place, do you actually think we have a chance at getting rid of them? History says no.

Well, considering broadband was once under the purview of Title II and now is not and now the FCC is considering it again.... how much of a grasp do you have on history?

> "Also today, FCC commissioners Ajit Pai and Michael O'Rielly too asked for Wheeler to release the proposal to the public and postpone the Thursday vote to allow for 30 days of public comment."

Well, good for them. Unfortunately, that's not how commissions work. The commission votes to release a proposal for comment. If that vote passes, it's released for comment. They then vote on whether to enact it based on comment, or revise the proposal and then vote again on whether or not to release it for public comment.

FCC rule proposals are not enacted without a public comment period.
No, that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying it's the manager's job to secure enough time for a product to get developed by the team or reduce the scope of what's going to be developed by working with whomever is setting these deadlines. If you need to magically speed up your development to meet the deadline or work extra hours, the manager has failed at doing the above, something that's a core part of his job. In some really bad companies, the manager won't have a choice in doing either, and you're in a situation where the deadline was simply unreasonable. In those cases, I can excuse the manager. Mostly though, deadlines are artificial and it really doesn't matter if they're met or not. Even if it does matter, the manager is getting paid a whole lot of money to manage both the team and the expectations of those who care about the deadlines. Making the team work overtime is thus a complete failure on his part both to the team and to those above him.

I'm working on a filesharing site as a side project (sort of like a drag and drop CDN), and was wondering if there is room for another. If so, what features would you want it to have?
Just because you're price sensitive, that doesn't mean that you'll buy something you don't want, just because it's cheaper than what you do want.

There's been plenty of research that shows most people are more interested in lower prices than making some sort of social statement.

Yep. And given how chaotic and dumb it all typically is: You will succeed if you can fix somebody's problem. This process, having to hire somebody, is the company's problem. They want it to be over. You can fix their problem by...

- having a cover letter that correctly identifies (1) the company, (2) what it does, and (3) why you specifically are a good fit for the specific position you are applying to

- showing up in person or over the phone and executing on those 3 points once again

- following up after the interview with a short thank you note that reiterates on those 3 points one last time

Companies (typically) want just these 3 simple things. They WANT them from you. They WANT you to succeed. Show up and BE the solution to their problem. You will blow most of the competition out of the water with the force of your application's coherence alone, and the company will greet you like a long lost child.

Now there are other situations that are designed specifically to intimidate and upset the applicant... undergraduate management consulting and finance recruiting processes can turn into this, notably. I don't have any advice on those situations, other than: Sure you want to work there?

If I were to start interviewing for a position now, I think the last thing on my mind would be trying to find out 'right' questions to ask. I'm either really interested in the position being offered or I'm not. If I am, I've already got tons of questions borne straight out of that interest. If not, I'm looking for the quickest exit I can make without burning any bridges. I don't want to waste time any more than Apple does.

The author got it right when he mentioned at the end that he was "talking to the people who implemented the original OSX UI". That's the sort of thing that would make me interested in working for you. Personally, I don't care about a company's 'interview process'. That's just filler crap they use to get people talking. I don't need help to get me talking about what I do. I'll answer questions, but as soon as I can, I'll be grilling you about all kinds of stuff. I'm in question-asking mode by default.

Game theory is ultimately a drastic oversimplification (a model) of human agency. It happens to coincide with certain popular simplifications nicely, but ultimately it's flawed. In situations where it tries to prove either cooperation or competition is the superior behavior it often sets up its actors in such a way that it begs the question (the answer is baked into how the variables are set up and how the agents are made to optimize those variables). I wouldn't take it too seriously as an authority on ethical questions. It's most useful as a model to reason about average outcomes in a limited set of situations. It tends to get into trouble elsewhere [1]

Besides being unethical for a patient to invest all of their savings into your startup; I think it is illegial in most states? Along with being a beneficiary in a trust, or will?

Who has a 7MB binary with tons of functionality as PID 1? That doesn't describe RancherOS or systemd.

(Edit: Oh, you mean Docker itself as PID 1 on RancherOS. Yes, that's true. Certainly hairier than systemd. I haven't really dug into how much they limit what system-docker can do.)
You're discussing a different problem. You're using "private" in a legal sense. As in "it's either legal or it's not". Passing privacy laws is certainly a good idea and is what the DDG post is advocating. j2kun was bringing up another solution to privacy which was cryptographic rather than legal. Cryptographers generally use "private" in a "is it physically possible for a bad actor to decrypt this" sense. In which case, there's always a possibility that bad actor can access it. It's just a question of "how likely?" (any encryption requiring a deciphering-technique which takes more than polynomial-time to crack is considered good-enough).

In order for the data to be of any use, someone (be it the user or a trusted friend) has to be able to decrypt it. But if you (or your friend) can decrypt it, a hacker can also decrypt it. Hopefully, the hacker will find it more difficult without knowing the key. But the one in a million chance that he'll crack it on the first try exists by necessity.Even titanium breaks under stress.

In the pathological case that there's zero possibility (not even epsilon), the whole business of encryption is rendered moot because the rightful user himself cannot access the data! This means one of two things: the data is corrupt; or the data has been deleted entirely.

Because the violinists were only allowed to try the violins for one minute, that study has the same flaw that the Pepsi Challenge had in 1975:

"In his book, Blink, author Malcolm Gladwell presents evidence that suggests Pepsi's success over Coca-Cola in the "Pepsi Challenge" is a result of the flawed nature of the "sip test" method. His research shows that tasters will generally prefer the sweeter of two beverages based on a single sip, even if they prefer a less sweet beverage over the course of an entire can."

In other words, a saturated sound could initially be more attractive but not as good for an actual concert.

Curious if anyone has come up with a way to run X11 itself in a container? (there are numerous articles on running GUI apps in containers that simply need a way to talk to Xauthority or X socket, or using VNC or xpra). I'd imagine it would need to run privileged with access to device files, or something like that.

I've kicked around the idea of a "workstation" set of containers to run on top of CoreOS, but this is the biggest hump I've run into.

5Mbps advertised, or 5Mbps actual? There's that unfortunate clause, "speeds up to."

Netflix recommends an internet speed of at least 5.0Mbps for HD quality streaming. Which means your 'up to 5.0mbps' connection, depending on network congestion and oversell, will probably end up being SD or lower.

Videoconferencing at 640x480, 30fps, uses ~512kbps. for 1080p video conferencing with two participants, you need 2-8Mbps connection on both ends. For 720p, you need 2-6Mbps on both ends.

Hugo is 3.99GB in 720p on iTunes. If a 5Mbps connection can be sustained for the entire length of file transmission, you could download it in about 108 minutes. The film is 126 minutes long. That's technically faster-than-realtime, but good luck getting an "up to 5Mbps" connection to sustain 5Mbps for two hours. You could start the download, take the dog for a walk and make a bowl of popcorn and then hope your connection speed doesn't drop thirty minutes in.

I like the following interview style (I was interviewed for a security full time position at a well-known SV company like this):

Skip introduction...

1) start with basic textbook questions like what is authenticity and authentication or XSS

2) catch what the interviewee said and build questions (e.g. I said something about private key so interviewer asked me about pro and cons of asymmetric and symmetric encryption). Oh yeah - know your shit because they are going to catch you! It's okay to say "I don't know." Being straightforward earns respect. My interviewers didn't penalize me much (well I just graduated from college...).

3) the next couple interviews again starts with introduction, then deep dive into what the team does, what the team is building at a high level, then proceed to ask me my interest. Here i would talk about my ideal projects, show them high level how I would go about implementing my idea, challenges I face (and also why I have to build one; are there any existing solution and are they not adequate).
Take caution of your words - know the things you say aloud.

Somewhere in those 4-6 interviews, add a programming sessions if you haven't done so (for me I skip that and went to onsite because of internal referral).

I didn't get an offer probably because I didn't quite know what I really want to build. My idea was too generic and probably too "child play." It was a really intense and yet fun interview. This interview process allows interviewer and interviewee to see if they are a match or not quickly and pleasantly. I always look back at this interview and believe that the rejection is just and great for me and for the team. I wasn't a match and I won't be a match any time soon. I am still exploring techniques, interests and ideas.
