I don't believe the bankruptcy clawback provisions you're referring to apply here, because this is an FDIC conservatorship/receivership, not a bankruptcy proceeding. I don't fully understand why this particular part of t

to be clear: you're calculating embeddings based on the timestamped transcript, yes? or are you doing something with the actual video content? what are you using for the embeddings?

Actually, "Year of Birth" appears to be one of the voter file fields too. Not quite the same as an exact birth date (esp for identity theft purposes), but useful for demographic targeting.

It's interesting how concerns around the long-term effects of EMF exposure that we heard about fairly frequently in the early days of widespread cell phone usage seem to have virtually disappeared from the public consciousness, despite

From both the blog post and the website, it's not clear to me what this buys me over plain Docker (or possibly Docker + Compose). Is this a Compose competitor?

You're absolutely right. That's why Lessig's proposed Citizen Equality Act has multi-member districts with ranked choice voting (effectively ending gerrymandering) as the second major component: https://lessig2016.

I saw that same presentation at the same event, but came away with a very different impression: the container management they showed was implemented completely outside of docker itself, with no patches to the docker codebase needed. Also, I

How do these compare to https://www.wisebanyan.com ? It seems to be roughly the same idea, but without any fees at all (I haven't used any of them, so I'm likely missing something)

ZeroRPC uses Gevent for concurrency Faults are handled differently depending on whether they are ZeroRPC-layer errors or application errors. To maintain the integrity of the connection itself, there is a heartbeat system independent of any

While you're right that EC2 is pretty close the metal, dotCloud starts at a very different level of abstraction. On most VPS providers (as with dedicated hosting) the first question you answer when you go to deploy your web app is "what Lin

I see there being two, somewhat distinct, categories of players: those with a realtime-first, focus (Meteor, Firebase and, now, dotCloud.js) and those that take more of a traditional REST-based approach (Parse, StackMob, Backlift, etc.). Th

To clarify: the dotCloud pricing hasn't actually changed yet , the new pricing has been released to a limited group to collect initial feedback, and will likely be altered before it's official release. That being said, the general model of

Either of the two workflows you mention are easily doable with dotCloud. Building locally (as you do today) should be fine: the dotCloud command line client uses git or hg (whichever you're using) by default, but can fall back to rsync if y

The default behaviour at these trade show/exhibit hall events (stand behind a table, look pretty and hand out swag) has always struck me as a colossal waste of time and money. This sort of slightly-different format seems like a good way to

The main problems I ran into when upgrading were with the new timezone support, but it was easy to just disable it (set `USE_TZ = False`) until I have a real need for the feature (and the time to fix the issues it causes for current code).

Awesome! Any docs changes we could make to avoid others hitting the same problem?

I'm really surprised and sorry to hear that. We usually have pretty prompt support replies, and generally give really thorough answers, since support is mostly handled by core engineers (we have an engineering support rotation) I'll admit t

Sorry to hear things that you're having trouble with dotCloud. A couple quick questions: First, which requirements are you putting in your dotcloud.yml? In general, pip-installable requirements should just go in a standard requirements.txt

dotCloud definitely simplifies deployment over raw AWS, but does cost a bit more on a per-resource-unit basis (understandable, given the platform's value is primarily in the time-savings). dotCloud's focus so far has been on network-based a
