sirwolfgang··on Ask HN: How to address female coworkers getting paid less
And in response to the valuation, they could of changed their math; But in the last two years most economies have had growth, so that value to go up to adjust for growth and inflation. The only real reason I can think of that value going down is much more supply to the work force, which I know isn't that true.

This is fundamentally one of the biggest cultural changes we have to make. You have to be ok with talking about your personal earning. In a lot of places talking about earnings is more taboo then talking about sex, and sex is generally taboo.

Company culture of not talking about earnings only helps the company. It allows them to pay lowest market value for anyone, under the (often true) hopes that they don't know their value. In short talk about it, and get other people to talk about it.

I would talk with your co-workers get them to open up about what they make, or have the breach subject in the conversation group while the other person can hear. Talk about what you used to make and what you make now. The key if to give everyone more context. Its important to remember that someones value as a person is not their market price.

The more information a person has available, the better the choices they can make.

sirwolfgang··on Ask HN: How do you use Docker in production?
Since we are still waiting for CoreOS + (flynn.io || deis.io) to mature. I modified our existing VMWare VM based approached to setup ubuntu boxes with Docker install. Where I then use fig to manage an application cluster, and supervisor to watch fig.

When its time to update a box, jenkins sshs in calls docker pull to get the latest, then restarts via supervisor. Any one off docker run commands require us to ssh in, but fig provides all the env settings so that I don't have to worry about remembering them. The downtime between upgrades is normally a second or less.

The biggest thing I ran into is that each jenkins builds server can only build and test one container at a time. After each one, we delete all images. The issue is that if you have an image it wont check for a new image. This applies to all underlaying images. We cut the bandwidth by having our own docker registry that acts as our main image source and storage.

I feel someone should point out that the iPhone charger uses the data lines to basically ask for the available amperage, and charger faster if the charger is "iPhone compatible". So something like this will still work for iPhone but it will force it to charge much slower then it would otherwise.
