The recommendations at the end of the article to change individual behavior are a distraction but thankfully the author provided links to three organizations that are dedicated to real policy changes. I clicked through all and found 5gyres.org to be the most promising.


This reminded me of an assignment I had for health class in my senior year of high school to help someone. I chose to encourage another kid in my dorm to go to college after graduation (he wasn't from a family with a tradition of going to college). I would just talk to him about where I was thinking about going and all the different options. By the end of the semester he was talking about going to college too. No idea what became of him, but I like to think I had a positive impact on his life.


I dated a girl who went to MIT at the end of high school, myself as a drop out. If not for her I’d probably not have considered education seriously. “Why would anyone go to more school?” was my attitude. She never pushed me to do anything, but imagining her trajectory was inspiring. She’d had immigrant parents who got educated in the US. 8 years later I finished a bachelor’s degree, full time during my major courses. My path gets no love from the outside, but I am happy with it when compared to outcomes of others sofar from similar backgrounds.


Are you thinking one stream per packet?


You could have a pool of them, right? Or would you have to actually tear it down after each packet


Maybe. Why not?


I would add pricing and explain the benefits of a paid plan over the Try It Now feature.


Added! "Try now" is a free feature that shows only 3 relevant reporters, while paid users can get full search results and all contact details.


Devuan uses sysvinit, offers openrc, runit, sinit[1]

Thank you for taking the time. Any feedback/expectations for licensing model, price range?


I've been using this in CI to build and test my Dockerized app. On GCE billing is by the minute (after a 10 minute minimum) so it hasn't been too expensive.


Disclosure: I work at Google.

You may also want to look at using Preemptible VMs [1] which are up to 50% cheaper as well.

Do you have any trick for spinning up/down CI VMs on-demand?


I use gitlab multi-runners. It's a privileged mode docker container that spins up other containers on the host machine to run its builds. I have them sitting in an autoscaling group where if it hits 40% cpu usage another server running gitlab multi-runner starts and automatically registers to do more builds.

You can do this with any ci system though, not specific to gitlab.


I use gcloud compute instances create ... in a shell script.


No, it's specifically built for Google Cloud and not tested anywhere else, so they don't distribute it.


No, these are separate concerns. I use Kubernetes for the latter two.


Because you can set Secure and HttpOnly flags on cookies? This merely brings them up to the same level of security you get with Local Storage. http://blog.portswigger.net/2016/05/web-storage-lesser-evil-...


What is a "level" of security? If I'm able to inject arbitrary code into your page, with it I can access your local storage data, but I can't access your "http only" cookies - so there's at least some "level" of difference.


If you're at the point where someone can inject random code into your site, you've already lost and have so many more problems than access to localStorage.
