Modernize Traditional Applications by Docker Webinar Recap

IT organizations continue to spend 80% of their budget on simply maintaining their existing applications while only spending 20% on innovation. That ratio has not changed over the last 10 years, and yet, there’s no shortage of pressure to innovate. Whether it comes directly from your customers asking for new features, or it comes from your management chain, the story is the same; you have to do more with less.

Thankfully, there is Modernize Traditional Applications from Docker. Where you can take your existing legacy applications, the same ones that underline your business, and make them 70% more efficient, more secure, and best of all – portable across any infrastructure. And you can do all of that, without touching a single line of the underlying application code. Sounds too good to be true right? Well, watch the recording below and you’ll see that it’s absolutely possible.

Tech CEOs Are Calling For Trump To Let Trans Service Members Stay In The Military

This morning, President Trump tweeted that transgender individuals wouldn't be allowed to serve in the US military “in any capacity.”

He made the statements ostensibly after consulting with military experts about the medical cost and “disruption” trans people would cause in the armed forces.

The statements, if turned into law, would be a reversal of the Obama administration's policies, which allowed trans members to serve, offered assistance for their transitions, and obligated soldiers to undergo diversity training on working with trans people. There is no official policy in place rejecting trans service members yet, but two trans recruits, one from West Point and the other from the Air Force Academy, were denied their commissioning into the military in May.

In response, Silicon Valley CEOs and companies have been making statements on social media that advocate for allowing trans people to keep serving in the military.

Some are using the hashtag #LetThemServe.

Airbnb directed BuzzFeed News to a tweet from its head of policy:

Snapchat and Intel declined to comment. Amazon, Microsoft, IBM, Adobe, Oracle, Tesla, Lyft, Palantir, Dell, and HP did not immediately respond to requests for comment or make posts on social media. We will update the story with comments as we receive them.

Some of the first CEOs to respond to Trump's tweets were those who did not attend his technology roundtable in June. The CEOs of Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, and Google's founder Eric Schmidt did attend that meeting.

The ACLU pointed out that Trump's tweets do not constitute an official change in policy.

They are, however, a dramatic change in sentiment from the previous administration.
