Hilarious... I just put something up a little bit like this. It's something I started a while back and finished up this morning: https://github.com/zerotier/toss It must be the National Day of Command Line File Tr

How do you compete with a corporate entity that has become the state? Getting back to net neutrality: you also have the concept of a natural monopoly. A natural monopoly is something where there is an intrinsic barrier to competition. In

It's worse than that. There is no such thing as an impenetrable firewall between the public and the private sphere. It's one of the areas where libertarian idealism doesn't quite work in the real world. I can't think of

This is by far the best post about Docker I've ever seen. We're a small company and so far we've never found a role for Docker. We just deploy stuff to VMs and bare metal servers with Chef. Docker is occasionally useful for

Vulnerable as in how vulnerable? Do you need to be physically connected to local Ethernet for this? WiFi? If it's WiFi that's damn scary.

There are arguably more and easier to get drugs today. If drugs automatically made culture interesting we wouldn't be having this conversation. 60s and 90s psychedelic drug use was just one of many ingredients in a larger thing, and pr

There's been a lot of cool technical innovation on the net in the last 8 years, but culturally it seems a lot worse. It's been taken over by memes, short attention span social media, next generation forms of spam, and click bait.

There was a renaissance of grassroots psychedelia in the overlapping hacker and rave culture of the 1990s. I miss that stuff. Today's culture is disturbingly vapid. There is little in the way of either genuinely creative counterculture

I'd put it more simply: "Users don't care about privacy or security." I put it in quotes because it's become a kind of catch phrase, and in practice I have found this to be largely correct. We've tried very har

Yes, for several reasons. (1) This device is absolutely sealed and opaque. It can't (easily) be analyzed to see what it's running, doing, or sending. It's even more opaque than a phone. It has enough processing power to do lo

If I had a dollar for every time I have heard and ignored the opposite advice -- hire as much as you can to impress investors -- I'd... well... actually we do have many dollars for ignoring that advice.

I've never done it but I've heard stories. One particularly nasty one was from a landlord who entered a recently vacated property a few weeks after the tenants left. He found a dead dog who had obviously been left alive. There wer

Great find. At a glance it looks like 1-2 dozen per month, so a coincidence is definitely plausible. Have to wait and see.

That is also possible. I can't find any comprehensive history of blackouts anywhere so it's hard to check probabilities.

It's a valid hypothesis and not crazy at all. If this were random I'd expect totally random cities, not the three most economically significant. It might not be covert economic warfare, but more of a covert demonstration whose aud

Keurig is huge. It's a money machine. Why not spin that into another market? Maybe you'll land an easy flip: build it, prove it, and get acquired by the company behind Keurig or some other food product/service mega-corp. Cha-

I loved Lynch's Dune. Whatever the cause, the end result was a film that felt as weird and surreal and alien as Dune itself. The retro-futurist aspect of the tech only added to this.

We use bare metal hosts for the ZeroTier CAs. This is one reason, though cost/CPU is another. These machines are CPU-bound, spending most of their time signing network configs. CPU is way cheaper at OVH (bare metal) than anywhere else.
