   You can get HPE/Dell workstations that cost over 100k fully kitted out. When compared to Windows boxes, this is not unreasonable.

   you shouldn't be installing syslog-ng in your container. Containers should do a single thing. If you want syslog, run a syslog-ng container.

   This is a good thing. Surgical strikes will have lower casualties. The amount of precision required to kill a moving vehicle without harming other vehicles is impressive.

   It was amazing to watch the effort Wasabi and Jrwr put into reverse engineering these ATMs. This write up is no where reflective of the head banging these people did to figure this stuff out. Fun Fact. George (the dog pictured in the bottom

   What's the alternative? You sell software to entities who you like, and not to the ones you don't? I'm the ISP on your area, and whoops- I won't let my internet be used by LGBT activists. I'm Tesla and won't se

    ISPs aren't political for allowing you to visit Trump's website. They would become political the minute they make a choice of who can visit which site. Providing services to an organization is not political at all. The NRA or Chin

    This is the first time I can remember stuff like this happening. I assume this is the kind of thing nobody is really thinking about until it happens. I think this is how the popup charger at Burning Man worked.

    They're working on a new research UI. So you plugin a symbol like SPY and you get a bunch of information on the stock. There is a banner for a beta redesign

    I would be curious to see the ROI for someone like Schwab for staying in the Bay Area. Does the reduce capital costs of people, taxes, and buildings outweigh the talent pool in the area? Makes me wonder what the numbers look like.

    Sounds like a management/culture issue. That's not an excuse to not cycle in new staff and people move around.

    Nomad is a solid, less complex, alternative. Docker Swarm is also an option. Mesos. I'm sure if you look you can find others.

    Chrome is the new IE. There are a bunch of SaaS tools and self hosted tools that only work in Chrome. The problem with Chrome is that developers push each other to use Chrome, so they only develop for Chrome, and the stuff they make might o
