Not sure why you are being downvoted. Having some life experience (kids, marriage, taking care of older parents, etc.) helps to empathize with people - which makes you a better manager.

This is an area where public libraries could take a lead role by running Tor exit nodes. Running an exit node as an individual is going to be a dicey proposition.

Would a cell phone provider forward to any number on a verbal request over the phone? That seems pretty sketchy to me.

In the case of Kubernetes, I think Google's motivation is really simple: AWS has a huge lead but it is also a proprietary platform. If they can commoditize the platform from underneath Amazon, they believe they can build out better&#

Cloudera and Hortonworks have raised a ton of VC money, but it is not clear (yet) that they have viable, profitable business models.

Nice. Adding sky-dns would be a nice enhancement.

We have two in the family as well. They are solid, good quality phones. Best value on the market today.

What is interesting is that corporations have implanted this notion that copying an idea is "stealing" and is somehow immoral. Copying is how we advance civilization. Every great idea was built on the work of others, or "Stan

A lot of outside companies were seized by the government and nationalized. I'm a huge fan of nuclear power, but I do tend to think it would be a bad idea in an unstable country.

It's not just accumulation. IMHO, the features of Google Cloud are better thought out. Two examples of things that rock: - Being able to pop up an ssh shell right from your browser - Google Cloud shell. A free Linux shell in the sky wi

+1. Preemptible images are insanely cheap. If you can tolerate the possible loss of the machine (video processing seems like it would fit) they are a bargain

ZFS The idea of collapsing a volume manager and file system into one was very innovative and led to substantially more functionality with less code (although some called it a "rampant layering violation" ). ZFS is a joy to use, de

Other than their legal obligation to comply with the law, is there any evidence that Google is doing backroom deals with the CIA and NSA?

I think the point is legit: Even for a technically sophisticated audience, it was not 100% clear that "manage my email" would give away their entire address book.. It's pretty poor behavior on the apps part - but this is an

Kubernetes has a nice solution to the problem of distributing secrets. See http://kubernetes.io/v1.1/docs/user-guide/secrets.html

Interesting. That is a fairly complex scenario (sand bags partially blocking a lane) -and given the test driver also didn't expect the bus to move ahead it seems like this is a mistake that many humans would also make. Interesting to n

I'd like to see some analysis of the predicted severity of the accidents for self driving cars. A minor fender bender at low speed vs. losing control and going over a guard rail at 80 mph are both "accidents" - but have ent

Suing Samsung always seemed like a dangerous maneuver. They do a ton of basic research into displays, semiconductors, etc. It seems like only a matter of time before they find a patent that Apple infringes.

How is that different than AWS ECS? In both cases, someone else runs it.

I'd love to see GCR expanded to support more Docker Hub like functionality (a nice GUI, being able to search for public images, etc.). And for public images, it would be nice if Google would foot the bandwidth tab :-).

I agree - Google needs to promote GCE more. Maybe they should buy some adwords :-) Having used both AWS and GCE, I find GCE is just a better experience. I love the cloud console and the cloud shell. The CLI tools work well. VMs start quickl

To clarify: Kubernetes is an open source project that runs on everything from bare metal, VMs, cloud (AWS, GCE, ...) and container as a service (GKE) i.e. You can pay money to have someone run it for you (GKE), or you can roll your own.

Yes - exactly. To be clear, ext4 did not cause the corruption - but neither did it detect it or correct it. It happily sent corrupt blocks out to disk. I think this happens a lot more frequently than people realize.

I think there was an internal schism at Oracle regarding BTRFS vs. ZFS. The Solaris fans (generally from Sun) preferring / promoting ZFS, and hard core Linux fans (mostly Oracle) - who tended towards BTRFS.

Oracle could put this whole legal wrangling to rest by changing the license to GPL. I am dreaming I suppose.

I learned this the hard way on an old server that did not have ECC. I had a file server happily ticking away using ext4. Converted it to ZFS - and a week later got file system corruption reported. Ran a very extensive memory test - and sure
