Both you and the article are right - you are analyzing it in the frame of reference where the center of the earth is stationary, while the article analyzes in the frame of motion where the center of the rocket is stationary.

Since the frame where the center of the rocket is stationary is a non-inertial frame, Newton's law doesn't apply [1]. However a modification of Newton's law that includes a so-called "ficticious force" applies [2] (I don't think this modification has a name). This is why the article says there's an outward acceleration, because in the frame where the center of the rocket is stationary, the outward acceleration is caused by the ficticious force.

[1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton%27s_laws_of_motion begins the laws with "when viewed in an inertial reference frame"

[2]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-inertial_reference_frame quotes, "One might say that F = ma holds in any coordinate system provided the term 'force' is redefined to include the so-called 'reversed effective forces' or 'inertia forces'."

It just seems to resonate well with how I think about organizing my windows and I can predict its behaviour. For example, I almost always use manual mode when spawning new windows, so I can almost always predict how my desktop will look afterwards. I also _really_ like the dynamic configuration it provides through its client/daemon model (so you can try out different settings without changing your configuration file and restarting X), and the amount of commands that allow for fine tuning of bspwm's behaviour fits me very well since I like tinkering with it and create a configuration that does exactly what I want.

well, if you have, say 10 nodes on AWS connecting to the docker hub the speed is definitely an issue, because let's be honest here neither are very fast at all

IANAL, but, as far as I know, there is no concept of stand-alone money laundering. You can only launder money that you came upon through crime. So, if there was no crime to begin with, it makes no sense to accuse him of money-laundering.
I think one of the main problems with Alpine adaption is due to how the official run-times are set up on the Docker hub.

- Python-slim uses debian:jessie

- Ruby-slim uses debian:jessie

- Node-slim uses debian:jessie

Your web application is probably going to pull in from one of those run-times which automatically sets you up to use jessie.

I'd also like to see someone take a random large project and see if their native extensions compile under Alpine without any other dependencies and to compare the final image size of a real world web app with alpine vs jessie.

It's sort of a micro benchmark to compare it like this because a project with 75 gems/packages and a couple of native extensions that need to be compiled will drastically increase the size of your image, with or without Alpine.

I absolutely do think it's worth optimizing your images, but this seems like something that may end up being quite personal to your app because it will require a bit of tinkering to get everything your app needs to work. I also wouldn't bother doing it until I was constantly pulling them down in production to auto-scale.

What happened to the USA that they began to underestimate these folks?

The USA's extreme anticommunism led people to believe in its own supremacy and manifest destiny. Now, it is true that communism is a terrible system of economic organisation and capable of the casual deaths of millions, but that does not reflect on the intellectual capabilities of individual Russians. Or small teams that managed to achieve enough political protection to deliver great work.

Now it becomes clear where all that weaponry and defense systems used in Syria comes from

This isn't really a surprise; Russia has been arming Syria since its independence just after WW2. Much of the weaponry is the ubiquitous AK-47 / RPG-7 and clones; their air force uses MiG and Sukhoi aircraft.

Is it possible that the Russians have their own secret private sector building stuff?

No. They do have rather a lot of freebooter ""cyberwarfare"" people, though, usually engaged in credit card fraud and the like.

This is why you should write tests.
Except, well, I don't care. All my images derive from ubuntu, so I pay the download cost once, due to docker having this whole delta thing going on, and storage cost really isn't a problem. Developers know how to apt-get usually, so that's less support cost on me. In fact, most of them run ubuntu themselves, which is a massive help with dev to prod parity. Oh and of course, there are more packages and a whole lot more forums/community etc etc.
But there are cases in which you'll have to decide not to use alpine. If your application and library needs glibc support, you are pretty much your own - and you have to patch the build scripts to use the busybox tools rather than the gnu ones [eg, sed and other tools].
Nice list, but Spark is treated superficially. Also extremely out-dated (Shark, Bagel).

actually, in this case it totally makes sense. the issue is that alpine uses musl, and many things only compile for glibc. if you're writing in any of those languages, chances are you're going to install a library that requires some c compilation (yaml parsing, database libraries, numeric processing, etc) and this becomes an issue

*edit: which is what you were saying all along, and this didn't sound enough like "yes I agree"
I don't understand. The end of the proof says r/p is a fraction, presumably because r must be an integer. But why must r be an integer?

There seems to be an implicit assumption that m is an integer, but the explicit assumptions only give the much weaker statement that "m is not a perfect square".

I've been struggling to find a lightweight PHP image, they're all huge. I'm starting to see a big advantage for Go in the container world where I've seen containers 10MB in size instead of the 200-600MB I'm getting in Python, PHP or Ruby. The nature of these dynamic languages and their libraries I guess.

glibc. alpine uses musl, and from what I understand this is actually not a thing you can do very easily. not that I use jvm in an way (thankfully)

Infact it only costs 0.01$/GB (probably less with peering) to offer access to the entire internet. Suppose a 50 MB daily data cap is provided to users and there are 50 million users, that's 50000$/day i.e. 18.25$ million/year, certainly not impossible for Facebook (and probably data costs can be cut down 50% with better peering). And I would not mind the government funding a portion of this.
> why must r be an integer?

r is a shorthand for (m-n^2)q-2np, which is an integer because m,n,p,q are all integers.

> There seems to be an implicit assumption that m is an integer, but the explicit assumptions only give the much weaker statement that "m is not a perfect square".

Yes, it would have been more explicit to say "m is an integer that is not a perfect square."

On the other hand, this is pretty clear from the context. This is like looking at a computer program and saying "foo has no side-effect" without stating that "foo is a function".
Go has official images based both on alpine and wheezy, so you can choose https://hub.docker.com/_/golang/ in case you have issues with C extensions. Most upstream projects are happy to take patches to work with Musl, and with docker it is much easier to replicate issues than it used to be when you had to install the distro.
This is Chrome only and uses NaCl so it's not pure JavaScript.

> But I don't see how what MU did is not okay, but what YouTube and Spotify did is fine.

What Spotify did?
yeah totally. my rule of thumb is that if it's got c extensions, Debian is fine. if it's compiled, you'll be doing that outside your container anyway (because who wants gcc in prod aye?) so you may as well copy your 20kb binary into alpine rather than Debian

You can install the Gnu tools in alpine, at which point they replace the busybox versions. They are all packaged up, just not installed by default.
Alpine Linux looks great. Unfortunately there is an outstanding issue (https://github.com/gliderlabs/docker-alpine/issues/8) with its DNS implementation that makes it tough to use in Kubernetes or similar environment that uses DNS for service discovery.

It does look like a fix is on the way though.

Drone crashes next to skier during yesterday world cup
I don't understand the rationale - SHA-1 gets sunset as broken crypto, indicating that with time a motivated attacker can find a collision and forge a cert for a SHA-1 secured site. Serving a SHA-1 cert to users whose browsers cannot understand newer cryptography seems like you'd be claiming that the security of those users' connections is not something you consider meaningful, as those users are still vulnerable to SHA-1 attacks. This just raises the barrier for entry to attack those users (compared to plaintext), except those users will potentially be unaware anything is wrong.

As the article states, 37 million visitors were using outdated crypto - that's 37 million potential sets of private information I could skim with a forged cert. Does protecting those users not matter?

Albany Trials Exposed the Power of a Real Estate Firm
"Many prisoners released early may not wind up being re-incarcerated, according to Brown. The law requires the state to give day-for-day credit in most cases to a prisoner who has been released early and hasn’t been found to break any laws since, he said."

It's unclear whether "breaking the law" includes speeding.

It's also unclear whether (former) prisoners must avoid breaking the law until their proper release date, or whether they must avoid breaking the law until the state discovers its mistake.

If it's the latter, it would be in the interest of an incorrectly released prisoner to inform the state of its mistake the morning after their proper release date. Of course, in this particular situation, the prisoners likely had no idea they were incorrectly released.
No, I don't think that hypothesis has anything to do with the study at all. Just for starters, cooperative behavior declined in the lower ranked individuals in the study. From the abstract: "cooperation declined in the presence of a hierarchy due to a decrease in investment by lower ranked individuals."

I admit I have only read the abstract so far. Did you even read that?
No excuse? How about it works well enough? It's a semi-consensus, if you've used any other Docker image you already have the base downloaded, the distribution is familiar and everything offers Ubuntu debs.

I'd love to see a study of the relative effects of hierarchy and cooperation in problem-solving effectiveness and inventiveness, with some interest in what positive non-toxic hierarchy looks like.

The right kind of leadership really does seem to make everyone more focused and effective. But there are so many wrong kinds of leadership that the best outcome happen very rarely; bad leadership seems to be immensely destructive of group ability, and is much worse than ad hoc cooperation with no formal leadership.

Hierarchy may be bad for cooperation, but it is great for quick decision making. Further, I would argue that the decrease in "investment" shown in lower-level members of a team is not a symptom of hierarchy, but a symptom of bad leadership--the appoonted leader doesn't know how to lead, and the decision to make him leader seems unfair.

By that I meant: "cover their pilots cost of certification and do the other duties (e.g. ensure maintenance gets done, and be liable if it isnt) airlines have to do", not "just hand out certifications".
Would Alpine be the best idea in-general to use as a replacement for Ubuntu even when not using Docker? What are you giving up by going with Alpine?

> Let's say, for argument's sake, that the results from Rossi's experiment seem somewhat dubious.

You would not know it from the article, but 'somewhat dubious' is a mischaracterization that suggests the problems might merely be experimental difficulties. In reality, the demonstrations have shown a sustained pattern of concealment and other highly dubious behavior, and there are also significant purely scientific problems, such as the isotope ratios of the alleged by-product. That's before we get into Rossi's earlier activities in high-tech waste management, which led to at least allegations of fraud. You may want to check out the links several of us have provided in these comments, and then ask yourself whether Huw Price has accurately described the situation.
It really isn't. It's great for quick bad decision making, but so is rolling a die. It takes so much time and effort for information to flow up and down the hierarchy that it takes a long time for informed decisions to get made, let alone good ones.
I'd be afraid to get a union involved, because in my experience they make terrible decisions (reducing "full time" from 40 hours to 32, making it near-impossible to fire troublemaker workers, allowing each worker to be used for work they're not actually trained for with no prior warning).

Then again, the only unionized place I've worked in is a Kroger.

.

I'm thinking this won't apply very well to situations where everyone has a positive expected return. Like most real-world organizations, companies, etc.
