To run it on your existing operating system, you would need to modify the Linux kernel in such a way that makes it unsuitable for running other services.[1] I'm fine viewing it as a specialized operating system built on the Linux kernel.

[1]: It requires that the Linux kernel be compiled with `CONFIG_USER_NS=y`, which has multiple privilege escalation vulnerabilities, disabled by default on most distros[2]. If you turn it on, you are saying "all of the non-root code that I am running is managed by a trusted seccomp monitor process that prevents it from using user namespaces" which effectively means "all of the non-root code I'm running is running inside of Sandstorm".

[2]: Many distros (Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS) actually have `CONFIG_USER_NS=y`, but patch the kernel to make it be run-time configurable via a sysctl flag (the flag set to "off" by default). This doesn't change the fact that turning it on (whether it be via a compile-time flag or a run-time flag) makes it unsuitable for normal use.
Heads of state (eg presidents) are frequently not elected, but instead appointed by heads of government (eg prime ministers). Heads of state are symbolic and do lots of ceremony (some have a bit of power), and heads of government are where the power sits. Heads of state can usually have the power to dissolve government in a crisis, but they can't appoint government (in western democracies).

The US is a little unusual amongst Western democracies in that the head of state is the same person as the head of government.
It depends on how you drive, computer controlled cars are subject to physics like any object. Consider if you are standing on any city street corner, where the speed is 30 miles per house. If you jump in front of a car just passing you, and it hits you, you'll be dead, and no auto-drive or google drive or any drive could protect you.

Android has no kernel (it uses Linux), but most people think Android as an OS.

The original MacOS didn't either (it was a collection of subroutines in ROM that user programs would call into), but was also generally considered an OS.

Well, the "enormous difference" is so enormous this really isn't a good comparison.

The judiciary is the weakest branch of government. The judges can be impeached by Congress. Congress can arbitrarily expand the size of the Supreme Court and then, with the President, start appointing whoever they want (e.g. there are 9 justices right now. Congress could constitutionally pass a law making there be 21 justices). Finally, and most damning, the judiciary has no power to enforce its decisions. It relies on the respect of the executive branch to enforce its decisions. There are plenty of (fortunately long-past) historical examples of the executive branch blatantly ignoring the judiciary. Contrast this to the military, which has very obvious ultimate power to enforce itself.

Bit-banging is definitely possible. The Digispark, which is a tiny Arduino-alike, does this. It comes on a small board with contacts on one side that can plug into a USB port. The data lines are connected directly to two of the IO pins of the microcontroller, which then handles USB stuff directly. This makes for a small and cheap package, although the tradeoff is that you can't use those IO pins for USB if you want them for something else, and the USB doesn't work if you reduce the microcontroller's clock speed.

The courts are also the weakest branch of government. They have no power to enforce any of their decisions and the other branches of government possess numerous "nuclear" options to sideline the courts (court-packing, impeachment).

The military is generally hardly weak in Turkey (although they have been weakened in the past 10 years by Erdogan).

From the article:

Saudi Arabia, meanwhile, said it welcomed the document's release, which it had advocated for years.

The Saudi ambassador to the US:

"Since 2002, the 9/11 Commission and several government agencies, including the C.I.A. and the F.B.I., have investigated the contents of the '28 Pages' and have confirmed that neither the Saudi government, nor senior Saudi officials, nor any person acting on behalf of the Saudi government provided any support or encouragement for these attacks,"

"We hope the release of these pages will clear up, once and for all, any lingering questions or suspicions about Saudi Arabia's actions, intentions, or long-term friendship with the United States," he added.

Just because it was released on a Friday doesn't mean it was a bad news dump. The Saudi government has encouraged the release of the document for years because the classification was doing more damage than the document.

I will definitely be interested to see how independent third parties interpret the document.
> You'd end up with food that caters to western taste

As Ive said elsewhere, the only food I've had in 4 countries that was even close to the same in all, is Indian food (i.e. curry + rice).

Every other type of food I've experienced, is influenced by the local tastes, and availability of products.
Well...

* Oasis (managed hosting) was launched less than a year ago.

* That came together with a huge UI overhaul that introduced the sidebar / tabbed UI.

* It also came with the full app market, whereas before we only had a static HTML app list.

* We started offering free SSL certificates for self-hosted servers under sandcats.io.

* We introduced Sandstorm for Work, which integrates with LDAP / SAML (including Active Directory) for login, offers organizational user management features, etc.

* We added app signature verification via Keybase, proving that apps came from the twitter/github/HN user you expected.

* We implemented app update notifications with one-click updates.

* We added signature verification to the installation and update paths for Sandstorm itself.

* We enabled apps to serve WebDAV APIs, which enabled Davros (a file sync app) and Radicale (a CalDAV calendar app).

* The community wrote / packaged 30 new apps, bringing the total to 58.

* We added the ability to link multiple login services to a single account.

* We implemented the Powerbox grain picker, which allows you to share a grain through another app. (This will begin being used in real apps in the next couple weeks.)

* We added unified notifications and read/unread indicators, so you can keep track of activity across your grains.

* Many other, smaller things. See: https://github.com/sandstorm-io/sandstorm/blob/master/CHANGE...
The tonal pitches in the Chinese language really help with mathematics. In Chinese, numbers are much easier to remember because the language has an extra layer of communication - Read: Which numbers correspond to which Chinese tones?. This is a completely foreign concept in most western languages and it works like this: each word's meaning can change based on what intonation one uses for it. There are 5 different tones. So the word ba, for example, can have 5 different meanings depending on which intonation one uses. (to read more you can read here http://www.wku.edu/~shizhen.gao/... ) Each number has a certain intonation as well. So when Chinese people want to remember a string of numbers, they can just remember the "tune" of that string of numbers. This sounds (pun intended) fascinating. Can any Chinese speaker here expound on this concept?

I didn't actually look at the implementation of these functions and tables, but yea, I am fairly familiar with Lua and metatables from my days of working on WoW addons.

As for JavaScript, my opinion is that Lua is everything JavaScript should have been: A clean, minimal, sanely designed, language. JavaScript on the other hand is nothing but mistakes piled upon mistakes. It's really disheartening to see JavaScript get shoved into places Lua fits better, like as Gnome Shell's scripting language. Oh well.
Good microservices architectures are about data congruity and not team boundaries. Yes, they're hopefully small enough for a single team and may warrant further slicing if they're not, but I definitely would argue strongly against partitioning teams and services into 1:1 relationships. 1:N or 2:N maybe (they should be small enough to quickly learn), but never 1:1.

Currently, the whole Rocket.Chat instance is a grain.

However, it would be "more Sandstorm-y" if each channel were a separate grain. For that to work well, though, we need some UI features to emulate what Rocket.Chat already does internally:

* The ability for grains to highlight themselves in the sidebar when there is activity or when you've been mentioned, so that you know to check them. This API actually just launched last week! So now the apps are being updated to use it.

* Some way to create "private message" grains between two people. We haven't done this yet but we have some ideas.

Soon, I hope to see Rocket.Chat add a "single-channel grain" mode where its own sidebar is removed and it relies on Sandstorm's sidebar. This would provide better security for channels which should only be accessible to a subset of people. Probably, the multi-channel mode will stick around too, for cases where you want the same people to have access to many channels.

At any responsible business with 100+ employees, third party software often passes through legal if it doesn't adhere to a pre-existing license(apache, mit, etc.). I think it wouldn't be correct to assume that there are only a few people concerned with licenses, especially because no license means all rights reserved, and you guys are pretty close to "no license". There are excellent licenses to choose from, and some already seem to fit your needs(as you describe them).

On another note, I personally see a license as one of many signs of product maturity. If there is a well established license in place, then that tells me the product is likely pretty stable and this along with other factors helps me determine if I should make the time investment to try and use that product. I think the issue here isn't whether your current users are having any problems with your license, but rather there are likely potential users who haven't even touched it because of the license. Having an explicit license is very helpful in the long run.

I agree about the negative possibility of businesses jacking up prices when paying with fake-bux. But I think you're looking too big picture in this case, and to a certain extent, politics is local.

This program is essentially an acknowledgement that large influxes of immigrants imposing a cost on society, and that cost is paid locally. Amazon is not being asked to give up rooms and apartments for the immigrants, the local folks are. Pets.com doesn't have to deal with non-native language speakers, and the big bank chains don't have to wait in line at the DMV. This program is not as much about doing the economically optimal thing, this is about smoothing over immigrant relations in the local communities.

> "Chinese" food is, in America, is designed to be tasty and relatively inexpensive. Authentic Chinese food isn't as appealing or palatable to most Americans.

Do you really think any other culture/country's food is 'authentic' in the US?

Do you somehow think "Outback Steakhouse" is anything like Australians eat?

Do you somehow think Thai restaurants are anywhere close to authentic anywhere but Thailand?

I've said it before: the only food that seems to be universal in what to expect, is Indian curries. Everything is adapted for local tastes and to use locally available ingredients.

Hi! There's an extensive explanation here: https://sandstorm.io/how-it-works

To answer your questions:

> For example, how is this enforced: "JavaScript running in the user’s browser can talk only to the document container for which it was loaded, no others."

Each grain (or actually, each session on each grain) is assigned a randomly-generated subdomain. These domain names are unguessable, so there's no way for one grain to know another's domain, and anyway same-origin policy generally prevents Javascript from interfering with other domains. (In the future, we plan to further lock down the client side using Content-Security-Policy, although we haven't done this yet.)

> Do apps need to be SandStorm aware?

Yes, apps need to be packaged for Sandstorm, and that usually involves some modifications to the app. However, the modifications are usually mostly deleting code: you delete your user management and rely on Sandstorm, and you delete your multi-document management and instead let the user create multiple grains at the Sandstorm level. Typically, this work takes a few hours, though it varies depending on the app.

(It's also worth noting that apps which target exclusively Sandstorm from the start are much easier to write than normal web apps: User management, document management, security, access control, etc. are handled for you.)
> but Chinese cuisine has a long Western history to live down.

a) don't lump the rest of the 'western' world in with America. "Chinese food" in Australia is of course not authentic, but by local tastes is usually delicious.

b) implying something has to "live down" implies that there is fault with the item itself. Good Chinese food (or even good chinese-inspired food, rather than authentic chinese) didn't force Americans to eat shit.

That's such a myopic view of immigration. Countries are delighted that the US isn't causing a massive brain drain in the 3rd world. It's why US immigration is so difficult for skilled workers, and for the less skilled it's often based on green card lotteries and things that don't just skim the top talent from less fortunate countries.

At the same time the US tries to make it very easy for people to come for the short term - so that they can experience our way of life and maybe build some cultural bridges and mutual understanding.

The US isn't anti immgration for xenophobic reasons. Even very talented students are sent back to their countries, not because they couldn't contribute to the US and be great future citizens, but because it would be unethical for the government to do that on a large scale

You understand the distinction between Islamic veils/headscarves (which clearly imply religious affiliation) and clearly non-religious, headscarves worn by many style-conscious, but secular, women?

Your misunderstanding may come from terminology - a headscarf need not be religious at all, and headscarves which are not religious (it is easy to tell the difference) are NOT banned.

And maybe open with a big-picture overview: what is the steady-state you want to reach? What can you realistically expect to reap from this setup in actual quantitative terms of pounds of fish and vegs, based on actual experience.
