   I think that CM tools are complimentary to Docker (TV did not kill radio..), but at least some of your points do have emerging solutions. For example, ssh keys: Kubernetes has a concept of "secret volumes" that are used to distri

   If they get serious about Flutter ( http://flutter.io/ ) they have a non JVM path forward.

   > is Google going to make their environment so compatible with other cloud platform? Yes. Google's strategy with Kubernetes is to commoditize the cloud - making them all functionally interchangeable. Write to Kubernetes, and your

   Why not Kubernetes? It run's on all major cloud platforms, VM environments and bare metal. Supported by every major player except Amazon (for obvious reasons, why would they want to support something that makes it easy to migrate awa

   Those services are incredibly proprietary to AWS. I really question why companies would want to tie themselves to a single cloud provider.

   I think that strategy reaped them billions, and continues to do so (the Office franchise is still a money printing press).

   The salt air is the biggest downside that no one ever mentions for beach condos. We replace most electronics (including A/C units, microwaves, etc) every 18 months.

    I think the time-frames of when this will happen are debatable, but not the general arc of events. Machines and AI continue to get incrementally better. There is no reason to think that this incremental progress will magically stop at some

    Most of us can not accumulate enough shares to make a meaningful difference. The corporate elite are gifted millions in shares/options. It's pretty difficult for someone making 30K a year to compete with that.

    I think it worth mentioning that setting up networking in Kubernetes is largely a problem for deployers - not so much k8 users. There are a variety of hosted, virtualized and bare metal solutions available. The CoreOS folks have some nice a

    My experience with the Kubernetes engineers has been awesome . They are incredibly helpful, and very tolerant of newbies like me who sometimes ask dumb questions...

    In theory yes - but that strategy doesn't always work. Sometimes the implementation of the data store changes between releases - requiring an upgrade or data migration. For large datasets that can take hours / days.

    Previous innovations have essentially automated human (or animal) muscle power. A tractor is vastly more powerful than a horse. AI (or whatever you want to call it), is coming - perhaps not as fast as its proponents would like, but I think

    How will those non-rich people buy consumer goods if they have no money? Our current economic system does not work in an age of increasing automation. The gains in wealth are being further concentrated in the hands of a few. There is a

    If you really want to wrap your service startup in a bash script, I don't think systemd precludes that approach.

    Docker and Kubernetes turn cloud providers into a commodity - which is why Amazon is not keen on promoting them more than is required to satisfy market demand. If you are the market leader, lock in is your strategy; Hence the launch of so m

    This is simply awesome. ZFS is a killer file system. I so wish Oracle would change the license on ZFS.

    Realistically, how many people would have paid for something like Google Reader after getting it for free for so many years? I think it would be a tough sell and you would have witnessed a lot of complaining... On the other hand, the negat

    Fully Agree. Google Music makes it easy to pin music to the device for the occasional time when you are on a flight and have no wifi. There is simply no need to cache more than 2-3 GB of music on the device.

    This is awesome. The existing single node solutions have been painful to get up and running, and always seem to be missing some feature or other (DNS, for example).
