> which is fucking amazing, like a standardized cargo container on a boat from Hanoi to Wyoming.

Which is the dumbest fucking analogy I have heard in a long time. Shipping containers come in a standard width and size, with standard size doors, standardised locks, and standardised locations for documents, cranes to attach to etc. It was revolutionary.

A docker container, or any kind of similar thing, is no such thing, and is not comparable in any way, other than saying "you can execute whatever frankensteinian monster you have built with this semi standardised command" - a shipping container will interact with the wider world through its designated door, which always works the same way. A docker container will interact with the wider world in the ways the application would interact if it wasn't wrapped up in a container - file system, named pipes, sockets, ip's/ports and so forth. It has neither the same impact on "revolutionising" IT that shipping containers had on the freight business, nor is it any kind of standardised.

Docker is interesting, and has a few interesting use cases, and solves a few interesting problems. It is not "fucking amazing" and it is not "changing the world the way shipping containers did". That is juvenile bullshit.

Rich people will live even longer

What a lot of bullshit spin: "only a slight majority said it would be a net positive." In other words, most experts think it will be great.

In real terms, the response rates are that 69% think it will be awesome, good, or or neutral on the subject.

This article tries very hard to make it seem like the experts think we are doomed. In reality, the experts think it will be just fine.

What she means to say, and what is probably what she is driving at, is: "We should be free to arrest and incarcerate you for reading this material"

I initially thought this was about the Google workforce

I am pretty sure it won't take long before "Fact the web unanimously agrees on" becomes "Facts Google prefers" or even "Facts the US Government tells Google to ignore/promote"

A republican managed to throw a snowball during his speech, so obviously global warming can be ruled out!

What was the movie?

We work extensively with Freelancers. As long as they are based in the USA, EU, Eastern Europe or Russia. Fees are higher, yes. But so is the quality of work, and the quality of the freelancer overall. We pay from $20 up to $65 per hour, depending on length of contract, experience and type of work. Working with Freelancers is hard, and very risky. Currently our aim is to hire more in house, something we can afford now, but hiring perm staff is _also_ very hard - a very limited talent pool, extremely unrealistic salary expectations from prospective staff and all the usual risks of hiring permanent staff make it a very difficult process.

A full on, in your face uprising by the masses. A revolution. But the masses have McDonalds', TV, and Buzzfeed, so they are unlikely to bother. Which is pretty much how it was designed...

Perceived anonymous Internet access

The thing that is stopping me right now from my server fleet wholesale to a BSD is the lack of good choices when it comes to clustered filesystems, like OCFS2. I know there is GlusterFS, which is not the right solution for me and HAMMER / HAMMER2 which don't have the maturity and feature set we need yet. A shared drive, with a simple and fast DLM. Maybe I have overlooked something, but that is what is lacking right now in File Systems for BSD...

I, like a lot of others, pay for my servers by the hour. So being able to spin up and shut down large numbers of virtual servers in under a second to deal with periods of high demand is something that interests me greatly, because it could save me a shitload of cash.

As you pay per hour, not per second, how does saving a few seconds save you a shitload of cash?
