I think many of these container orchestration adjacent companies large and small are standing up straight hoping for an acquisition in general — I don't think it's going to happen for all of them.

Not sure what this other guy will say, but for the vast majority of people it is for major weight loss, not necessarily lifestyle or belief that it is a "superior" health approach. This is my experience from Reddit's keto and loseit communities anyway.

Honestly this is probably top-down language usage, not a marketing team. Solomon has been talking about containers with this same wording for years, and he's talked about it on podcasts... etc. Granted, that doesn't mean it's not marketing double-speak. Definitely grandiose in a way that marketing language often is.

It's probably a little of everything. Intel does put a lot of resources into projects like Kubernetes and other communities adjacent to Linux Foundation / CNCF, but I think they put a lot of money anywhere they see a future for utilizing their products... and I think that gets little abstract, sorta. Or rather, they invest in some things that seem like they're partially related to a lot of their core interests.

Can you elaborate on Hangouts + Project Fi? I'm also on Fi, and want the iMessage type experience, but always seem to fall short of it. Is there something particular about the Hangouts and Fi combo?

I messaged the author about finding an example of the attributed enthusiasm or removing it entirely, since I'm not sure I believe it. Though others have pointed out that not aggressively attacking it is almost endorsement from Linus...

Hi Marianne! I'm with The New Stack (not the writer of this article), and was wondering about the video myself. Interesting to see you address that there's definitely no public facing version, as it seems a lot of the commenters here would love to see it. I can only imagine the bureaucrat complexity involved.

Ah, you've put it in a much better light. "Every day" is clearly not the right description here. I think an interesting look anyway.

Really interesting concept here socially. I'm not sure this kind of discovery mechanism really exists with services like YouTube. Likely there are randomizers, but this is really scraping from the "every day" user, which is so different from what most of us are used to seeing on YouTube.

Sure, but it's not just Trump, his VP and political senior is a man that advocates openly for conversion therapy. That's where their very legitimate fear comes from.

It probably just seems like they came out of nowhere because there's been some confusing change in how their technology is referred to because they have a couple different projects — so maybe confusing between Hyper, Hypernetes (a Kubernetes distro), and now more accurately Hyper.sh. We wrote a couple articles in late 2015 profiling them, and that coverage upticks again this month. http://thenewstack.io/tag/hyper-sh/

Can you blame them for wanting to break more into the Microsoft ecosystem? Besides, Docker's company mentality aligns pretty closely with a company like Microsoft, there's probably a lot for them to learn. A huge plus from a business perspective, but it's easy to see why it wouldn't sit well with open source advocates.

I definitely try to highlight the success stories, but there's a critically different way that audiences react to "here's why everything went great for me" on Hacker News, though I think that is understandable. Too many times they're customer success stories, or case studies from the marketing department, and many don't care for those.

It really has more to do with what the vendors creating the "serverless" tools perpetuating at the industry level. You can blame the technical marketing teams and tech media that also pick up the terminology (whoops, our bad).

Serverless is definitely the accepted term. FaaS and BaaS (backend as a service) are both serverless implementations--is my understanding.
