Not to be overly pedantic but the "shell" and "GNU toolchain" are literally not Linux.

75% of the hashrate was just advertrolling. Which had the side effect of keeping the difficulty high. They should have forked Bitcoin and used a different PoW... Oh wait that's Litecoin. https://news.bitcoin.com/the-tra

Wow I didn't know that. Very interesting to hear. Hopefully Docker support is considered as well.

I highly doubt Red Hat will ever touch ZFS. Oracle and Red Hat have a very tenuous relationship. I hope Red Hat will support bcachefs though. I think it's the most promising alternative FS.

Came to ask the same. This would be interesting as an alternative to Google Hangouts if an html frontend could be used.

Docker for Mac uses Xhyve, a hypervisor ported from FreeBSD. It could be more performant than Virtualbox but I have not tested them side by side.

I see a roughly 66% performance hit on docker for Mac in most metrics. Not a deal breaker but I prefer to do development on Linux as well for that reason.

Why not S3 and Cloudfront or equivalent?

Coinbase could probably do it. If there was an investigation into the theft, that would probably be a terrible idea.

This hardware looks to be a pretty good value. I was looking to get an X1 Carbon but this has piqued my interest.

Extremely cheap hydro power at around 0.01-0.02 USD/KWh. China has more hydro power than customers in a lot of areas. Labor and regulatory costs are a huge factor as well.

That's up for debate. Facebook and Google use DC in their datacenters to save costs. Azure has a requirement for optional DC power from their vendors and might be using it actively. I think AWS has looked into using DC power as well bu

FWIW, Azure disables hyperthreading on their servers. 1 core = 1 real core.
