scothis··on Pivotal launches serverless framework that works across clouds and on-prem
> We are now starting to do some of our infrastructure on Kubernetes, much less headache.

Pivotal Function Service (PFS) builds directly on Kubernetes via Knative (https://github.com/knative/) and Project riff (https://projectriff.io).

scothis··on Posthumously pardon Aaron Swartz
That's not what the Constitution says. The presidential pardon power isn't limited by this situation. The President is the only one who can decide who get's pardoned and under what circumstances (except for cases of impeachment).

From the source: [the President] shall have power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment.

It's fair to argue that there is no precedent, but that just means it hasn't happened before, not that it cannot happen.
