There is a daily mail video of a drone at the North Terminal Bus station. DM is hardly a good source, and I was sceptical at first but I'm 95% sure its the right location. The question is now, is the footage fake and is it from last week.

This is super sweet.

It would be great to tie this into a release pipeline, where the release process is actively keeping an eye on failure rates of that service, so that bad deploys could be halted or rolled back automatically.

I was thinking this could work really well when using production integration tests. A percentage of that traffic can be dynamically routed to the newly running services, allowing the release pipeline to ensure the service is functioning correctly before routing any real users.

Yep. TalkTalk can't even keep their customers key details secure, and now they are expected to keep browser history as well? It's a joke.

yes. `eval $(minikube docker-env)` will setup the docker cli to use minikube's docker demon.

I for one would love to see a hosted offering of cockroachdb!

I've been looking into this a bit, but put off by the fact that EU VAT for digital products isnt really being enforced upon US companies, so not sure there is much of a market for it. Also, as a brit I'm not sure how brexit might screw up the business model.

I really don't think there is any excuse for it this day and age especially when building sites from scratch. There are so many different techniques and technologies for doing zero downtime deploys, not to mention the numerous PaaS that will do it out of the box if you dont know how.

Would it not make sense for broadband router manufacturers to step up here, especially ISPs who provide routers to customers.

First of all, IoT devices really need to be connected on isolated vlans with very strictly controlled WAN capabilities. Obviously this already exists, but not in the fashion a layman, who wants to put their fridge on the wifi will understand. The average home routers need cleaner interfaces and clearer abstractions rather than the cruft that exists now.

Does your fridge really need to access the internet, and if it does, perhaps you could setup your router to only allow access at certain times, to a single host and with circuit breaker protections in case traffic has a signature that matches that of a DDoS attack. This circuit breaker pattern could be extended to all traffic running through the router, and provide the user with reports of potential infected devices and traffic hungry users.

No, but we are led to believe this wont be long. They recently got partial approval with full approval expected next year. Not bad for a startup that has only been going ~20 months in quite a slow industry.

Money is currently stored with a third party that do have a license, so there are some guarantees that money wont be lost.

A good open source alternative to Google Apps. Secure by default, amazing UI, spam filtering and tools that will configure the thing properly so not to get blacklisted.

No, this from the guy who helped found the web. In my book, that gives him the right to say whatever he wants. DRM or not.

Gotta love giffgaff, even their phone program is very reasonably priced. I got my iPhone 6 by mail, the day after it was released. £17pm for my phone.

Great reply!

In all seriousness, would be quite a fun challenge to build a modern city from scratch.

I feel this is a good place to mention Micro [1] which is going a long way to becoming a very sound micro service platform.

Deals with Service Discovery, metrics, tracing, gRPC, and all sorts.

I've watched about 30 minutes of this, and I am growingly disgusted by the TPP and the US government. I am a brit, and all though we aren't part of the TPP, we are still in the back pocket of the United States.

It's a shame that we rely so heavily on trade with the US, that we feel that we need to look past the so called "lobbying" and corruption in US politics, and implement such overbearing rules on behalf of Hollywood and others.

The stuff about the US putting Canada on "probation" and mandating that every 6 months Canada has to report back to the US "as if it was some kind of naughty student to the teacher" is just ridiculous.

This has to stop.

Should also move your CSS include to the head.

oh my!

Have you seen http://prosemirror.net? Not quite as well polished, but probably more suited to real time collaboration.

giffgaff is a great example of this, a very small company that piggy-backs on the O2 network, giving really cheap tarifs. http://giffgaff.com/goodybags

Its a bit confusing, but in my experience, as soon as the message finishes sending, whether its been delivered or just hit apples server, the send as SMS option will disappear.

Sometimes the message will say its failed to deliver and you get the option back.

But then you get into a whole heap of problems with multiple threads.

I know that game... Trying to grab and hold an iMessage in the process of it sending, to reveal the "Send as a SMS message" button before the option disappears.

Link to the original tweet. He goes on to explain that the folder is private, but had a shared link. Bit strange?

While the app looks pretty cool and I have no beef with the app specifically, introducing yet another IM app is just going to fragment the market further and cause more issues than it solves.

There are so many different ways to communicate currently, that soon we aren't going to be sure what app to best contact a particular person with. You've got Email, SMS, iMessage, Facebook (Chat), WhatsApp, Twitter, and those are just are some of the top ways.

Everyone has their favourites and because of this, communication is getting more annoying and difficult purely because of the diversity of choice. Its not helped by large companies vendor locking their customers into a specific way of messaging, fully knowing that not all of the people they contact are there.

I have a strong opinion on this yet I have no real solution.

Whats the chances of the top tech companies coming together to create and implement a secure open protocol and/or app allowing end users to message anyone regardless of platform? I guess its pretty bonkers.

Are you getting your megabytes and your megabits the right way round? Either way, your wifi is so very slow and you probably have a fault.

Yeah, I'm aware its opt out for new customers, but its opt in for current customers. I would like to think that the reasons you gave are all mistakes with the blocker that would get ironed out over the coming weeks, especially more likely with the press attention it has got.

Ulterior motives aside, if this saves even a handful of kids from growing up with porn addiction, its probably worth it, right?

I'm finding this a bit strange. As far as I am aware you have to opt-in to the porn blocker on existing packages. The chances are its already going to be off for most people, especially those who know how to use a chrome extension.

I get the impression that this was created for other, more illegitimate purposes, that has nothing to do with "Cameron's porn blocker"
