But even these art camps have a flip side. Last year I spent a lot of time helping out and hanging around one of these music camps. I even provided a multimeter which was needed to repair some of the lights. But at the end of the day, after making friends and lending my labor, there was certain internal events and things that were simply off limits to me.
It's true that some of these camps don't actively give or interact with the community, but the when they leave the camp and mingle with the masses they are effectively taking. Burning man is one of the few places in the world that you aren't rejected for who you are, no matter what. So by closing off your camp to others, you are effectively making people feel rejected. Which is much louder out in the dust.

You want to see something scary, start to look at how media coverage affects mass shootings. There is very strong evidence to support the idea that our current media coverage of making these people "famous" increases the deadliness of these events as compared to something like the North Hollywood Shootout.

A 10 sec look at their twitter feed will tell you that they are doing this primarily to make a name for themselves. They want to be famous.
Yet what does every single news outlet do? Plaster their groups name all over every story. Even the BBC goes to mention them by name. Which is only going to encourage this behavior.

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 | 11 years ago | on: Ask HN: How do you use Docker in production?
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.
