Really didn't expect to be reading about literal containers on HN.

    Their hiring posts certainly are but I can’t recall seeing much else about them beyond that - am I just mistaken?

      They did have some interesting blog posts a few years back about how the freight industry works, IIRC.

  One of my favorite comments on HN, by user techbio: "Realizing mitochondria were the "powerhouse" due to a voltage gradient created by chemically transforming ATP to ADP across a membrane gave me a eureka moment about how small such a mechanism can be, and how powerful in great numbers." [1] The international shipping container is a similar example of a small mechanism that powers our global economy at scale.
