banderonon 2dumb2destroy

an AI trained on all the dumbest stuff on the internet (Homer Simpson quotes, Pauly Shore screenplays, that one bodybuilding forum where they argued about how many days there were in the week, etc). It's the first AI you don't have to fear will steal your job.

banderonon Allthenticate

I thought these guys were a lastpass/august competitor, but they are so much more! Plans to replace all authentication and authorization with your phone! I saw a user had his phone connecting to his car, the door to his office, and then log him in to his laptop. Very cool, indeed!

Only 125 days since I posted this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8390136. I thought it was a cool idea... but I also thought BTC was a worthy investment at $400.

Here's the actual link to the kickstarter:

$99 for the initial release of the product, which will be Feb. 2016 (if you are lucky with kickstarter campaigns). I thought it was cool that they have a bulk package, selling 111 of the kraftwerks for the price of 100 (all sold out)!

banderonon Removing the Docker IT Operations Bottleneck – StackEngine

I think that once a company comes by and has good documentation and examples of what Docker can do, it's going to blow up. An example more than "Hello World", I think it would be helpful to see how you can install/configure apache and deploy an application hosted on github.
