Great comment Kord! kudos

Good points man! You really covered the topic well. And chat and conversation is a nice building block to not only get stuff accessible in places that are low bandwidth and low-tech but also prepare for future developments in voice interaction as what you learn and cover in text you can easily move to voice once voice is good enough. I also like the approach of Viv here to build complex queries dynamically over different hooks. These kinds of technologies will be key to enabling more complex use cases with bots.

We know! Happy for any feedback or questions around our tool and templates.

Hi, I'm the author of this post and wanted to open up the discussion to questions and feedback.

ManagedVMs don't use k8s under the covers afaik. However there's GKE (Google Container Engine), which goes on top of (at least 3) MVMs and that one does use k8s. While it is true that going with a PaaS(-like) solution like AppEngine or Heroku is easy in the beginning it can get pretty expensive pretty fast and it limits you in the choice of languages, frameworks, and data stores you can use. This can in some instances bring technical debt with it that will pose a hurdle when growing. Actually, using Docker combined with an orchestration layer like k8s is supposed to give the the ease-of-use of PaaS with the flexibility of IaaS (or MVMs), however, managing sth like k8s by yourself is not that easy and you will need quite a bunch of other tools on top, i.e. for monitoring and stuff, which paves the way for Container-as-a-Service solutions, like RancherOS, tutum, or Giant Swarm (disclaimer, I'm part of the latter company)

Yeah, it's extremely easy. I wasn't expecting that.

This sounds like it will a pretty legendary event!

Btw, great design and choice of location.

As I'm not a MeteorJS developer myself, I'm glad to get some feedback as to short comings or improvements of this post.

Giant Swarm (Cologne, Germany) / www.giantswarm.io / Support Engineer (m/f)

http://giantswarm.nimble.hr/p/cdc4323323cc-support-engineer-...

We are looking for a passionate Developer (remote workpossible) who wants to be the voice of our customers, who are using Giant Swarmfor architecting and deploying didtributed systems.

More jobs (DevOps, Dev, Web Dev) are available at http://giantswarm.nimble.hr

You can apply through the website, but if you have anyquestions, feel free to email Anna at anna@giantswarm.io

If it's only about solidity DigitalOcean, AWS, and similar are ok for running single-host instances of your dockerized apps. If you want to get into clusters and scaling or are looking for a way to just take care of your containers and not of the infrastructure anymore, there's not many ready-made solutions, though. Amazon is working on ECS, and Google on GKE, but both are in a very early invite only Alpha stage. Other than those two, there's currently only us at Giant Swarm (http://giantswarm.io/) afaik. If you're interested you can register for an invite and if you contact me directly, I could get you the actual invitation a bit faster. Also note that there's quite a lot of self-service solutions based on Mesos or Kubernetes, but then you're back at managing your infrastructure yourself again and you still have to book DigitalOcean or Amazon Servers.

We're glad for any feedback provided even (constructive) negative ones

nice writeup, I especially like that you talk in detail about the things you learned from your "failure". Failure by itself isn't always good, but this shows how one can learn and get oneself up again after falling (technology wise).

like the idea of automatic curation through influencers streams

is it for web or mobile or does it just work for both?

Haven't tried it yet, it seems to be just normal notebook, but with a special space on each page to specify notebook name and tags. Evernote accelerator would be quite possible, maybe just build a rough app MVP for scanning close to what the moleskine one does?

I could also imagine something like those paper organizers from as it seems ages ago. something very flexible.

I like to use my iPad more these days, too, especially cause I'm an evernote fan. Still notes don't look as good as on paper and touch-pens are still not on par for easy writing on screens. A good integration with Evernote good get it out of niche-dom I think. For the big masses paper is still the goto tool at least for another 2 years ;)

I think the bigger "test" behind this is that maybe some content that you would maybe distribute as an ebook, but that needs hands-on practice for you to really get it, could be effective as this kind of paper handbook/notebook combo

simple but nice, looks very useful and it's even free :)

very nice! resembles a lot of my research intersts ;)

This is so strange as that woman is not even in or from Cologne, but located in NYC, which makes it kinda hard for her to organize a meeting in Germany. No idea what benefits such a take over could have for her.

The function of calculating growth is not something you would need to call from this tool, as it should be easy to implement by yourself locally. I think the visualization part is the one you would want. I used to develop analytics for a startup and we would measure the whole range of freemium model of the service, but I guess the CEO would also have liked a simple single graph seeing overall growth (at least in terms of paying customers) at the end of a week. If you need more, there's tons of nice visualization frameworks nowadays helping you do all kinds of crazy stuff with your data.

Really curious how this crowd-funding thing will go for you guys, could even make a case study! ;) I definitely like the product already.

There could also be an "unnatural" habitual reason behind it, as we are trained to be looking at widescreen, widescreen also feels more natural. Doesn't imply that it's better though.

You wouldn't need a head-mountable life recorder to do a one second video every day or every several hours, like shown in that video.

yeah, here's also a very in-depth history of widescreen in the film industry: http://www.in70mm.com/news/2010/widescreen/index.htm

yeah, it goes in the same direction as other short duration formats. E.g.: - 5s Movies: http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththegl... - 15s Film Festival: http://www.15secondfilmfestival.com/

The aspect ratio / vertical video (PSA: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bt9zSfinwFA) point is a really good one, I like the idea of "preventing" vertical video through norming/squaring the aspect ratio

That's true! But that's exactly why I think maybe asking for the "failed" to tell about their new idea(s) would help identifying those true entrepreneurs!

What about the new idea, do they have to already have one or is just having failed (properly) and learned from it enough?
