Among other things, Palantir enjoys exorbitant privilege due to its ties with the US government and its "intelligence" tentacles. It is stands to reason that there is little or no firewall between the taxpayer funded technology&#

This article is mostly FUD I think. It comes off as a slew of strawmen arguments ... for example the idea that unikernels are defined as applications that run in "ring 0" of the microprocessor... and that the primary reason is for

So far Docker seems to be a good citizen when it comes to FOSS, hopefully that will continue. I've been following the Mirage and rumpkernel lists for a while and its nice to see these hackers getting traction (and money!) for their eff

Linus is not a god, and his proclamations are not gospel. He can crow all he likes about how he wishes he never used the GPL and how he is not political... but the truth is, no one knows what would have happened if he didn't use the GN

It is a fallacy to assume that purchases will be deferred just because they have the prospect of being less expensive in the future. If that was the case, no one would be using credit; they would just defer their expenses until they could
