Seemed to freeze up after I loaded a sample and clicked a few things inside it

Self hosted ELK stack, not HA at the moment. Will move the ES nodes to AWS's managed service once I'm ready to make it more resilient.
I like all the guesses on which company “Scaling R Us” represents. My guess is RightScale.

Because it's lazy and insecure?
One of the biggest complaints about the curl - bash paradigm are the security implications. URLs can point to different content at different times. Project maintainers can (and have) changed the content at these URLs for malicious or other reasons. A lot of people will not examine the source of what they're piping into the shell.
To me, https://github.com/jbenet/hashpipe addresses a lot of these issues by pinning the content to a hash.
You can't force somebody to read and understand the install script, but at least those who do can know it's the one they verified in advance.
Does anybody know what program was used to generate the gifs?

Why even do this in ansible? Your heavy reliance on command instead of the provided ansible modules makes it more of a bash script.
My jaw dropped when I saw it was Elastomania. Love that game!!
My mistake was that I didn't enable 2 factor authentication.
Kind of aggressive calling out Google's engineers when you couldn't bother protecting yourself with their free and easy to use security mechanisms.
I wish they had posted this to HN after it was available...I want it now! This project still appears to be in its infancy.
Technically incorrect. WebSockets handshake over HTTP and then "work" over TCP. I'm actually curious which HTTP stacks are non compliant and what you mean by that.
As to my original comment, you can probably get by without having full TCP load balancing.
No worries, thanks for taking the time to write all this up!
I was hoping he'd post the http-to-kafka adapter but I'm guessing that's ChartBeat IP.
Did Snowden reveal anything about "Mujahideen Secrets" or whether the NSA was able to unscramble communications made using that program? If it really was using homebrew cryptography, one can imagine it was already vulnerable to the types of attacks that programmers make when rolling their own security schemes.
Really great image host workflow.
I'd love to see the source of this (or something similar) so I could implement it privately. Any ideas?
This type of "sophisticated analysis" will be useless whenever zerocoin is proven as a viable addition to the protocol. True anonymity is scary from a regulatory standpoint but extremely desirable to many others.
Right in the middle of a deploy for us! Thankfully we're getting enterprise so hopefully this is last time a DDoS messes with our productivity.
