Plus 1 to Alliant. Their savings rate is top-notch and their apps are pretty good.

Just as an FYI the Dreamworks distribution deal wasn't renewed in 2016 so they're 'on their own' as it were. I believe the two companies are still friendly but don't directly have the distribution deal in place any longer.

I don't see any way this could be real, personally. As a previous owner of pigeons, they don't generally fly to random places. You release them somewhere and they fly to a place they KNOW (their coop generally). That in and of itself is amazing, but yeah, I don't know any way you'd be able to get them to fly random places... not to mention predatory birds and such.

Also, even if it was 'real' at some point, none of their stuff has been updated at all since 2015/2016.

Probably not yogurt, but I have run across several probiotics with this particular bacteria present in it. Additionally I have read that yogurt for the most part is pretty useless as a probiotic as your stomach acid kills most of the bacteria in it (also, many yogurts have little live culture in it).

I greatly enjoy(ed) PHC and some of his commentary about the different Christian denominations. I should say though that the one thing that was annoying was that he likes to often poke fun at Unitarians in a not so 'laughing with us' way. Counting myself as a Unitarian, I did find the bit in his last show in which he joked about the word changes for 'Marching to Zion' for Unitarians to be spot on though.

Sadly that is pretty much emulating how docker does it. To the best of my knowledge the '8.8.8.8' and '8.8.4.4' name-servers are kind of hard-coded in a lot of containers (all?)

As per other NSA released projects like selinux, I'm sure people here will doubt the intentions behind this project. I have only had a bit of time to look it over so far, but it looks pretty neat. I think we need to remember before doubting this, that the intentions of the NSA for the most part are to protect American citizens and businesses. Releasing tools to help them further this are generally in interest of that.

I'm sure there is some way for them to get through tools like selinux if they encounter it, but for that particular toolkit I'm sure that any potential pitfalls in that respect are far outweighed by the standard criminal hackers or state sponsored attackers, having a harder time breaking your systems.

To the best of my knowledge it comes from contracting/support and mostly their Vagrant Cloud (now Atlas) features that are business/enterprise only, which they charge money for. For example private hosting of Vagrant box images is a paid feature. The costs for that are per-user/per-month.

Very cool. We were about to need to figure out how to back up to a secondary account and were going to probably have to do some crazy stuff with rclone. This will just mean an initial sync of the current data any the new items will be automagically replicated.

We already have one nearly finished in San Diego. The problem is that is makes for very expensive water because it's a large scale industrial desal plant and the technology still hasn't changed in such a way as to not require lots of energy. That said, it's still at least going to provide a huge amount of water with just the one plant so there is that.

Looks like an interesting project. Will you guys be releasing it on a different or more public repo than Quay though? I feel it'll be difficult to get much traction (if that is your intent) behind trying it out if there's no easy way to give it a shot.

Yep! We do about 5k events/sec and it holds up pretty well as long as you throw enough memory at it (It's a java app). Make sure you have a cluster though if you're going to be doing those kinds of levels. Feel free to respond if you have any other questions. I'll be testing out the 1.0 release myself today.

I have no foot in either game here (not sure about the parent commenter to this response), so hopefully you'll take this as a suggestion and not an attack... You are being part of the problem here. HN can only maintain the kind of relationship with commenters and posters that you talk about if as someone in the tech industry, you don't attack your competitors. Doing so brings you to the same standing as the kinds of people commenting that you say are ruining the site.

I've seen you post several times all in regards to this CoreOS stuff and NONE of it has been constructive. I think you need to take a step back and understand that HN is a public facing site and that the things you say here have a very real impact on how people view you and your product. Essentially you are harming your company by posting things like this.

Take CoreOS going their separate way as a teachable moment rather than an attack on you (even if behind the scenes it was?) and learn from it. Move on and build a great product by seeing your weak points from your competitors and learning, not by posting bile that you so willingly claim against others. If what you are building is as amazing as you want other people to believe; show them through your actions and by building an amazing piece of software. There's plenty of room for competition in a quickly emerging market. Essentially, if you can't say anything good then you are only harming yourself.
