CoreOS started building rkt in 2014 and after more than a year of security, performance and feature improvement are now ready to declare it 'production-ready.' While rkt is a docker runtime rival, docker apps will run in rkt, giving using a new runtime choice: "rkt will remain compatible with the Docker-specific image format, as well as its own native App Container Image (ACI). That means developers can build containers with Docker and run those containers with rkt. In addition, CoreOS will support the growing ecosystem of tools based around the ACI format."

We elected Iraq Hussein Osama? by raymorris · 2016-02-04 10:50 · Score: 0, Offtopic

I sometimes think "with that name, this is going nowhere - the imagery, the branding, is just all wrong."
Then, three really bad things were in the news:
Iraq Hussein Osama
We elected:
Barak Hussein Obama
One could imagine that US voters are too sophisticated and informed to be put off by an unfortunate name. In fact, many (most?) Obama voters didn't know which party he was running as, nor did they know the VP candidate's name. So it's not attributable to be voters being sophisticated and well-informed.
