I think many of these container orchestration adjacent companies large and small are standing up straight hoping for an acquisition in general — I don't think it's going to happen for all of them.
Not sure what this other guy will say, but for the vast majority of people it is for major weight loss, not necessarily lifestyle or belief that it is a "superior" health approach. This is my experience from Reddit's keto and loseit communities anyway.
Honestly this is probably top-down language usage, not a marketing team. Solomon has been talking about containers with this same wording for years, and he's talked about it on podcasts... etc. Granted, that doesn't mean it's not marketing double-speak. Definitely grandiose in a way that marketing language often is.
I didn't know the founder talked like that. Now the whole bruhaha with CoreOS and rkt makes more sense. I remember a lot of Docker fans were angry about it back then. I think 2016 showed that Docker was increasingly getting out of touch and out of sync.
To me, the leading edge and center of gravity has already moved onto Kubernetes (and the various orchestration systems that is attempting to compete with Kubernetes). Even though the buzz around Docker is still growing, the ideas coming out of the Kubernetes community is what is influencing and leading the containerization technologies. Small movements in Kubernetes will result in large movements around people using Docker.
It's probably a little of everything. Intel does put a lot of resources into projects like Kubernetes and other communities adjacent to Linux Foundation / CNCF, but I think they put a lot of money anywhere they see a future for utilizing their products... and I think that gets little abstract, sorta. Or rather, they invest in some things that seem like they're partially related to a lot of their core interests.
Can you elaborate on Hangouts + Project Fi? I'm also on Fi, and want the iMessage type experience, but always seem to fall short of it. Is there something particular about the Hangouts and Fi combo?
Set Hangouts as your default text message app on your phone, text messages and voicemail transcriptions then get sent to Hangouts and you can see them on the computer as well as the phone. You can also send text messages from the computer.
I never used iMessage so I don't know how it compares, but this has always worked well for me.
I'm not sure if the option is in the Fi app or the Hangouts app, but I allowed Hangouts to manage my SMS on the phone. It behaves as my Google Voice number did before: SMS (as hoped) and phone calls (not so useful in practice) pop up in Gmail as well as on the phone.
This is what I do, and it's reasonable. Annoyingly, I sometimes miss calls as my computer will start ringing 10+ seconds before my phone, so by the time I grab my phone, the incoming call has already been sent to voicemail.
I messaged the author about finding an example of the attributed enthusiasm or removing it entirely, since I'm not sure I believe it. Though others have pointed out that not aggressively attacking it is almost endorsement from Linus...
Hi Marianne! I'm with The New Stack (not the writer of this article), and was wondering about the video myself. Interesting to see you address that there's definitely no public facing version, as it seems a lot of the commenters here would love to see it. I can only imagine the bureaucrat complexity involved.
Oh yeah, when I talked to the agency that owns the 7074 (more on this in a second) they were like "You can't do this because we will get hacked"
"How are you going to get hacked if I talk about your mainframe? It's not connected to the public internet, is it?"
"No. Well... we don't know... but ... hackers! Hackers are really smart Marianne."
Part of the compromise was that I promised I would only use information that was already available publicly through government reports and news articles. I went back through my talk and documented where each fact was already published somewhere else until they were comfortable with it. So the ambiguity on whether the 7074 was the actual machine or an emulator was deliberate... there were certain things I could not find a public comment on and therefore agreed to avoid making direct statements about.
This all seems super annoying, but it makes sense when you realize how heavily scrutinized public servants are. In the end they are only trying to protect me, my organization and Obama's legacy. Three things that are really important to me. So I can't exactly blame them for it. I was happy to be able to find a middle ground where they felt comfortable, the organizers weren't too badly inconvenienced and I got to give the talk I wanted to.
Really interesting concept here socially. I'm not sure this kind of discovery mechanism really exists with services like YouTube. Likely there are randomizers, but this is really scraping from the "every day" user, which is so different from what most of us are used to seeing on YouTube.
Not so much the "every day" user, but more specifically those people not savvy enough to title their videos or set them to private. I'll guess that 1/3 of these videos the author didn't even know they were public. The other 1/3 doesn't really care if they are or not, and the final 1/3 got as far as uploading the video from their mobile device and didn't even know it made it online for all of us to see.
I bet if you did an analysis of users leaving the default titles on their videos, it would be the same group of people that leave the default name on their home routers. Technology simply doesn't fuel these people, it is just a vessel they hop on and hop off when they want to accomplish something. We, on the other hand, live in it every day. This astronaut site is very interesting in that it shows you what a disparity there is between the savvy and the non.
Sure, but it's not just Trump, his VP and political senior is a man that advocates openly for conversion therapy. That's where their very legitimate fear comes from.
It probably just seems like they came out of nowhere because there's been some confusing change in how their technology is referred to because they have a couple different projects — so maybe confusing between Hyper, Hypernetes (a Kubernetes distro), and now more accurately Hyper.sh. We wrote a couple articles in late 2015 profiling them, and that coverage upticks again this month.
