   Well they issue timestamps/signatures at a rate up to 2^64/second without PKI to provide tamper evident guarantees for data integrity. Their ledger is public and based on universally accepted proofs/primitives. Is it distribu

   I used to work for these guys https://guardtime.com . They do keyless digital signatures/timestamps based on block chain way before bitcoin and are quite useful.

   I have a few production Mesos clusters under my belt and one production Nomad and I really like Nomad and Mesos is not bad. Kubernetes seems to be a lot of magic and NIH and tries to do everything itself, whereas Mesos and Nomad are nicely

   Random freezes, phone calls not having sound, and for me as a podcast/audiobook listener that side is awful, widget not working, having to restart the app or the whole phone, bluetooht connectivity being very unreliable. Usability gone

   I don't know the answer to your question but while Vagrant and Packer both have been pretty bad experiences for me, Consul, Nomad, Vault and Terraform are very different products and all pretty actively worked on. I am using them all a

    This is why I switch my wifi radio off every time I leave home. Especially when going to travel via the tubes. And this is why the "50-shades of wifi off" of ios 11 is so idiotic. Don't have iOS 11 yet so don't actually

    We have a small group of men, mostly ex colleagues from different IT contracts that kind of acts as like a support group doing simple things like going to a driving range or bouldering or beers in London. Drop me a line if you'd like t

    In the UK not only is the contactless payment instantly (I think less than a second, probably even better) approved but for the cards that I have in my apple wallet I get the push notification with the payment details in about the same time

    That's why we switched to nginx as it is perfectly fine reloading configuration without dropping existing connections. HAproxy can not do that. There is a black magic approach to having two HAproxies listening on the same port so there

    I wanted to like HAproxy but the lack of support for in-place zero downtime config reloads without resorting to witchcraft was a showstopper. Use case for us a service discovery load balancer for Mesos/Marathon where frontend/back
