Do we know if that is because Runners and Musicians tend to be generally better educated and raised, both those things being markers of middle- and upper- class membership?

The point of Amazon Go is instant gratification. The point of this is not carrying stuff to your house. Cool troll, but they should be careful of the false sense of superiority. Perhaps they could hire some Nokia and BlackBerry execs to exp

If someone told me that a certain truth is not useful, I would be inclined to disbelieve them. The basis of your argument seems to be "I can't think of any uses" but that can hardly be considered "the problem with articl

Transactional updates are pretty much standard for embedded devices that care about updates. Android Brillo, ChromeOS, Android, Snappy, and many many others employ similar strategies. ResinOS does indeed have a smaller footprint, a broader

If you run a privileged container, you can add any sort of audio and video manager in the container. We have users running X11 and Electron inside their containers, for instance. Preloaded containers is something we have built out for resin

I don't think resinOS affects that either way, but I will check and come back to you in a few hrs as the team in Europe wakes up.

We used to release anually in the data centre too. If the benefits of incremental and iterative deployment don't move you, consider all the iot security issues recently. And if that doesnt do it either, consider NASA's Mars rovers

resinOS is designed for embedded devices, already supports many of them running several architectures (all the way down to ARMv5). While I have heard that rancherOS can run somewhat on a raspberry pi, that's a long way from being able

You mean that you tried the image and it worked on the X15? That's fantastic! We hadn't tried the board before. What does support of the other processors entail? Is it a kernel modification? Are you sure the dsp on the Beagle does

Our model is not a commandment for everyone. There will always be cases where containers don't make sense. However, every new level of abstraction meets this instinctive reaction at first. People didn't want VMs in the data centre

Haven't really tried to go that route. There are some fundamental limitations to Kubernetes and Docker Swarm due to their dependence on etcd, which behaves very badly when the devices are not on the same LAN. Depending on your use case

Yes! We've actually created extremely small base images with Yocto for our own agent at resin.io, and it's a really cool approach, though it is very complex to set up and handle, and has approximately none of the elegance of a Doc

We're generally very active in the Yocto community, the resin.io team already maintains the raspberrypi, CHIP, and Samsung Artik BSPs. Not sure what their interaction has been with the vitrualisation layer and don't want to misrep

There are a lot of companies looking at the intersection of containers and embedded. Some call it "Fog Computing" others "Edge Computing", others still "Industrial Internet" and so forth. We have a number of

Very good question. We find that we have to add functionality for the embedded world in quite a few cases, and part of the resinOS roadmap is to package that up for the OS. But the base Docker, other than its recently growing size, is a ver

The hypriot guys are doing great work, and we share a common mission in spreading containers to embedded development. ResinOS is built with production deployments as a first goal, and so has a read-only rootFS, supports atomic host OS updat

The version of Docker on the OS right now is 1.10 so the ram footprint of the OS is fairly small. The team is all asleep (being in Berlin and whatnot), but I'd estimate about 50mb is a decent approximation. We're working on gettin

Hi everyone, resin.io founder here, happy to answer any and all questions. We just released resinOS at ELCE a few hours ago (Embedded Linux Coference, Europe), happy to see it made HN!
