Re: DeskLab 4K touchscreen portable monitor from $399

krishnan — Sun, 25 Oct 2020 11:46:51 -0000

They are a fraud. I paid for the monitor. They didn't send the product in time. When i contacted my bank for chargeback, they sent a shipping tracking number but the product didn't come. Later when I pushed for chargeback, they sent another tracking number and I received the product. Guess what? It is a non working junk. Please do not cover such fraudulent companies. I can give evidence for the whole thing if it can expose them

A piece of crap is published here as scientific study. It is time Nature community cracks down on such bogus reports. Only when you see reports like this sneak through to final publication, one realizes the problems with crowdsourcing. I call upon Nature to stop such studies because these are used to do propaganda in social media

Re: The Exploding Infrastructure Automation Stack and Its Ecosystem

CloudMunch (www.cloudmunch.com) is a continuous deployment and continuous insights platform and it works with most of the infrastructure tools listed above. The next version of the platform which is in private beta now and which will be launched with the new website for the company in first week of march will include support for containers and container orchestration tools. Will be more than happy to brief you or anyone. Shoot me an email krishnan (at) cloudmunch (dot) com

Re: Docker and Cloud Foundry Open Source Projects Are Defined By Ownership | The New Stack

krishnan — Wed, 28 May 2014 19:52:56 -0000

I want to highlight an important nuance that exists within your conclusion. You have correctly said that the entity that has the power to determine the direction of the project will be the winner. OSS from day one was designed to be this way. However, it was based on meritocracy driven by code contribution than monetary contribution. From meritocracy, it is going towards power play. It is a disturbing trend because aligning marketing dollars with project direction will ultimately lead to unwanted confusion.

Re: OpenStack: Still waiting for the users

I just want to highlight a fact about the lack of understanding on the Ericcson deal. 30M is big money in open source as different economics is in play with OSS. Open source competes with free and the underlying economics is one of abundance and not scarcity like in the proprietary world. Comparing the deal size with deals in proprietary world is simplistic, to say the least. Please note that it is not a comment refuting your take on the OpenStack users but a point highlighting what that deals size means in OSS world.

Re: Docker vs Vagrant Cloud

krishnan — Thu, 13 Mar 2014 12:48:08 -0000

Lucas, I don't agree with Vagrant Virtual Machines have better isolation. When Docker is used with the right components for isolation (read SELinux), you will get much better isolation with Docker along with other advantages containers.

Re: Why Red Hat Needs OpenStack... And AWS - by Matt Asay

krishnan — Mon, 06 Jan 2014 17:13:34 -0000

Matt, this is my personal take as industry observer than RH employee. Having made the disclaimer, I still don't see why Red Hat has to push AWS compatibility for OpenStack. IMO, it is a wrong problem for the industry to focus on. If application portability is key, Red Hat can ensure that on the PaaS layer than at the OpenStack layer. Red Hat's partnership with Docker could make this more seamless. With multi-cloud automation solutions available for infrastructure orchestration and management the process is seamless even without any API compatibility. In my personal opinion, industry push for AWS API compatibility on OpenStack is not compelling from what I see in the industry. Innovation at higher levels of stack has made this discussion irrelevant. My two cents. Again, I want to highlight that it is my personal opinion as industry observer than as Red Hat employee.

Re: conservation of lock in - blog.aneelism -

krishnan — Sun, 23 Jun 2013 15:59:26 -0000

Unfortunately, the discussion in the industry about lock-in has conveyed a meaning that you are out of all the clutches. However, in reality, it is about minimizing the cost of such lock-in. When someone says no lock-in it should mean Lim (cost to move around) -> 0. Of course, lock-in moves up the layer with such discussion but it is ok as long as the cost moves towards minimum.

Robert, interesting that you noticed this. Dr. Mcafee had till sometime back (I would say even during the time he visited Singularity University) had dismissed this idea (I remember him writing a post defending capitalism after his visit) on the need to rethink political framework and the idea of jobs in the age of abundance. Glad he is having a shift in the way he sees the issue.

Great point Das.

Re: On Robustness And Resiliency

krishnan — Fri, 25 Jan 2013 15:18:14 -0000

I am not denying that. The goal of the post is to first get over the mental block and start thinking about how resiliency can be achieved. I also agree to your point that resilience is not an end state. Part of this mental shift is understanding the fact that you are dealing with a dynamic system that is bound to fluctuate wildly.

Re: On Robustness And Resiliency

krishnan — Fri, 25 Jan 2013 15:16:22 -0000

Rich, I didn't advocate resiliency for legacy apps. I am only asking enterprises to think about the idea of resiliency when thinking about web scale. I do agree that the cost factor is a big consideration for legacy systems.

Re: Education and Employment: Some Thoughts Against the Conventional Wisdom

krishnan — Sun, 10 Jul 2011 00:10:12 -0000

My biggest problem with many in the US who are against higher education is that they simplistically link education directly to the ability to get jobs. Even though it is essential for one to get a good job for living and education, after everything we spend on it, should help us in the process. However, higher education should be viewed in the context of its role in advancing the human civilization. Where is research without higher education? When I talk about research, I am not just talking about engineering and science but liberal arts and other disciplines affecting socio-political advances in our society. By cutting off higher education, we are going to stop our civilization from advancing to the next level (except may be in terms of some technological advancement). Khan academies are great for getting people get started with Calculus or trigonometry or coding in Java. But they cannot offer what our academic institutions offer in developing well rounded individuals who advance the society towards not just technologically advanced one but, also, to a more civilized one. This happens not just because of the curriculum in the academic institutions but because of the entire package of academia which includes interacting with peers, learning from experts including Nobel prize winners, etc..

Yes, the cost of higher education is a problem we have to deal with sooner than later but cutting off the limb to fix a pain in the thumb is not an optimal solution. We can see if we can leverage the online tools to cut down the cost of the education but wanting to replace higher education itself with "education through online tools" is not at all an optimal solution.
