Are the k8s Secrets still stored in plaintext in the etcd datastore? Seems that this feature is a bit half-baked right now -- though I'd love to me mistaken on this point. The k8s docs mention shredding your apiserver hard drives once

There's also code that's going to break `if sys.version_info[0] is not in (2, 3)`, as the article points out -- so bugs are going to need to be fixed either way.

This. Why would you gratuitously change the major version of a language, if there are no back-incompatible changes? Everyone understands what 3.100 means, too.

Anyone happen to know why the LIDAR can't be augmented by radar or some other frequency of light in which snow is transparent (e.g. http://www.gizmag.com/compact-radar-fraunhofer/26844/ )? I suspect there is a

The section on options doesn't mention early excercising and 83(b)s. I thought it was commonplace to allow options to be exercised before vesting, at a nominal valuation. File your 83(b), and then any increase in value of your options

I'm always skeptical when I see a new Paxos implementation surface without rigorous consistency test results published front and center. Per Google's "Paxos Made Live" paper [1], which opens with the wonderful understate

What do you mean by "it's often not sustainable"? Throughput on a server is higher at higher packet size, so if you're doing a download I'd expect the server to send 1500 byte packets. It's pretty easy to satur

I read "adhere to the sprint commitment" as being an undesirable aspect of Scrum that the author was complaining about, not something that Scrum is lacking. It's certainly one of the bad parts of Scrum as commonly interpreted

This adds support for navigation, which I believe has never been possible before. That said, the ability to download maps for offline viewing was supported years ago, then removed, then added back (hidden in a hard-to-find corner of the app

This is a fantastic example of less-developed countries leapfrogging large parts of the 'tech tree'. Why build roads when you can just airlift with drones? Similar example: why build a buried-copper telephone/internet network

This. I've been wanting this sort of thing for ages. It could actually be extended into a very compelling product; imagine being able to issue not only read-only tokens, but a token which authorizes the bearer to withdraw up to $100&#x

Aahh, I've been moaning for ages that banks should implement a read-only interface for services like Mint; I had no idea that one already existed. I think this is the nail in Mint's coffin for me. Thanks! This does invite the ques

There are a bunch of scale limits in Kubernetes itself that are being chipped away at; the bottleneck is not the scheduler, so plugging a new scheduler in won't make the system more performant. Here's a blog discussing the current

Defamation is by definition making a false statement that damages someone's reputation. You're claiming too much, since without any evidence, we can't tell whether the statements are true or false. If the statements Amazon ma

There is a standard: http://news.stanford.edu/pr/2015/pr-worms-digest-plastics-09... . This is from RedHat. Not implemented by everyone, but modern OSes (e.g. CoreOS) seem to follow the patterns. CoreOS also do eve

"They both got harrassed pretty evenly" - If you look at the national statistics, this is definitely not the case, so your anecdote unfortunately isn't representative. E.g. see http://www.washingtonmonthly.com&#x2F

L3 routing protocols like BGP are one solution to the network connectivity problem which have been around for decades. BGP powers the internet, so we know it can scale to millions of endpoints.
