Google Open Sources Its Secret Weapon in Cloud Computing

With Mesosphere getting a major investment the other day, docker gaining traction incredibly fast and now this this space will be really interesting to watch the coming years. The basic offering of AWS is being comoditized, but they still have their hosted services and the big community of stuff hosted on AWS as differentiators. But maybe it isn't too crazy to speculate that some of those services could be packaged up somehow and deployed on any cloud.

Writers at Wired must have some kind of ridiculous policy about titles. An open source "secret weapon", Docker is the "next big thing" in cloud computing. Every single wired title that makes it HN makes me cringe. Everyone of them. The titles are silly, dishonest, upworthy, linkbait. I'm going to write an HN extension for chrome that just auto removes wired.com submissions when I load HN, it bothers me that much. I wrote a little chrome extension that removes Wired, the content script is: var hn_blacklist = [ "wired.com" ]; $(document).ready(function () { $(".comhead").each(function (i, e) { var $e, tr; $e = $(e); hn_blacklist.forEach(function (domain) { if ($e.text().indexOf(domain) !== -1) { tr = $e.closest("tr"); tr.next().remove(); tr.remove(); } }); }); }); You can add your own domains to it. I created a manifest.json to make this a chrome extension, included jQuery and now it works.

  So long as we're held hostage by pageviews and advertising, it will only degrade further. Expect lots more of this idiocy as Old Media copies BuzzFeed. There's lots more to scrape out of this bucket! One particularly painful example: the Weather Channel's site. Right now, it has articles such as "You Won't Believe What's Fighting Pollution" and "50 Places Straight Out of Nightmares."

  Agreed. Another thing that pisses me off is the editorial style: "I met Mike in a soon-to-be fashionable dive bar in the lesser known South part of town, where Pearl Jam's former masseuse mixed us a cocktail containing african dung beetle livers and wolfsbane." Ever since Po Bronson was covering the dot-com boom with stories of weed growers from Michigan launching dot-com empires in his graphic you-want-to-be-this-guy style, they haven't shifted away from it. The style has been locked down ever since Conde Nast bought the magazine at Providence Equity's yard sale in 98. Reading Wired in public is modern leprosy - thankfully neither are too contagious.

Wow, Wired likes to hide the real details in vague hyperlinks. Here's the Kubernetes github repo: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/kubernetes https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/kubernetes And here's a Google Cloud Platform blog post that announces Docker support in App Enginer, Kubernetes and cAdvisor: http://googlecloudplatform.blogspot.com/2014/06/an-update-on-container-support-on-google-cloud-platform.html http://googlecloudplatform.blogspot.com/2014/06/an-update-on...
