> Can I run any linux-based container on Windows?

No, on windows you still have to run a Linux vm which the containers will run inside. Meaning all containers actually run on a Linux host. The new Docker for Windows app only abstract away some stuff so it feels easier working with.

> does it work the other way around

No

Well we know women choose men based on how likely they'll be to commit and properly provide to her offspring. So I guess it's not much of a surprise there. What I think is surprising, is that it seems society looks at women as the victim of a divorce, when this is telling a different story where women have a plan of when to exit.

I'm sorry you're getting downvoted, but to explain why I think this opinion isn't popular, look at Amazon. There's an entire sub-economy of exchange for reviews with unspoken rules. Choose about any product and you'll likely find the phrasing "I received a discount in exchange for my unbiased review of this product" or "I receive a demo version of this product in exchange for my unbiased review", or some other similar disclaimer.

There's nothing technically wrong with what's happening there, since there is no formal arrangement of good review = free product, but it's perfectly understood without a single word being said that if your reviews are too critical, you will not be receiving discounts/demo items in exchange for an unbiased review any more.

Your idea isn't quite the same if I understand it since the restaurant isn't enticing people in with the promise of a discount for reviews, but it's hard to say that you're not being influenced for favor when receiving something like that. It's why I believe it's a journalistic ethical standard to refuse gifts/outings from businesses and individuals as it may compromise journalistic integrity. Whether or not that's actually followed or just a super-ideal is another matter entirely
Wondering about this myself, going to write up a tutorial soon for people I know who use Windows. Last time I tried Docker for Windows it broke VirtualBox completely (just had to disable Hyper-V). Might be an easy fix for that though, didn't spend any time investigating
Japan does cuteness as whimsy, not humor. This works better. Some of the cuteness is functional, such as the jingles which identify train stations.

Here's an advertiser that understands whimsy, without talking down to their customers - Caterpillar.[1][2][3] Here's a tech company that gets it right: Volvo.[4] This is an ad for their self-driving car. In both cases, the manufacturer has a product that's visibly better than its competitors, and just needs to get that message out. It's harder when your product isn't that great.

Food delivery startups seem to be especially pretentious. They are perhaps trying to differentiate themselves from the low-end services that deliver Chinese food and fried chicken.

The fascinating thing is that Nokia knew. They knew right from the beginning. This "different phones for different niches" was just a desperate marketing spiel to save face.

http://www.hs.fi/kuukausiliite/a1381288411564?jako=8ca7cf121...

This is a letter a finnish journalist sent to Nokia in 2008. He was blown away by the iPhone! The letter was circulated internally and different managers called him to explain Nokias strategy. He meets up with the bosses and the following ensues:

----------------

The manager started to brief me on the backgrounds of Nokia's strategy. The idea was that people are different, and therefore, they need different kinds of telephones.
I became agitated: "The kind of person who wants to use a bad telephone does not exist!", I said.
THIS SPARKED AN argument. I explained in different ways how dreadful my new telephone was, and the manager spoke in its defence.
All of a sudden he went silent. He looked directly in my eyes and said: "This conversation is in confidence, isn't it?"

I assured him that it was.

He continued:

"I agree completely with everything that you wrote in your letter and with what you have said now."

I was astounded.

"I agree completely with you and I want to apologise on behalf of Nokia for producing a bad telephone for you."

----------------

5 Years later (2013) he meets the manager again. He tells a story so disarmingly cute Apple should print it as advertising:

----------------

He told me that when the iPhones came out in the United States in the summer of 2007, the situation was followed at Nokia with keen interest. A large number of iPhones were immediately delivered to Nokia's head offices in Espoo by courier.

The manager took his own iPhone home that same evening. He studied it so enthusiastically that it caught the interest of his four-year-old daughter.
As an experiment, he gave the telephone to his daughter, and she learned to use it immediately.

In the evening as the parents were going to bed, the drowsy four-year-old appeared at their bedroom door with a question:

"Can I take that magic telephone and put it under my pillow tonight?"

It was at that was the moment that the Nokia executive understood that his company was in trouble.

Your comment shows a common misunderstanding of what mathematicians are trying to do. Modern mathematical notation is not obfuscated, it is in fact making the object being described much easier to perceive for humans.

Explaining the equation you see in English words is what every physics book does, however the equation itself represents a concept that is not human. It comes from an alien universe of symmetries and relations and we have spent centuries to arrive at the current way of writing these down in a way which makes them easy to work with.

You can formulate the solution to a quadratic equation as:

The negative linear term, added and subtracted from the square root of the quantity which is the difference between the square of the linear term and the product of four times the constant term and the quadratic term, all divided by twice the quadratic term.

Modern mathematicians write:

x = (-b +- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)) / 2a

The difference is night and day. You cannot remove the essential complexity from a problem. You can only try to get close to its representation.

The risk with this is that your test is possibly not checking the thing you want. I have often found a test that passed even when the code wasn't working. Writing the test beforehand, when you know it should fail, helps get around that. You expect it to fail, then write code, then expect it to pass.

I like to at least test my test by commenting out the bit I just added, or somehow manually breaking the code somewhere to check it really does fail when the code doesn't work.
My immediate thought is to have a 'universal review code' on your invoice, which somehow encodes the monetary amount of business as well as the date. Reviewers could use this code when leaving a review on a 3rd party site to prove they were a genuine customer. There's an opportunity for stalking or harassment if the business was able to correlate the code to an individual though, so the money and time might have to be bucketed. If a customer got a refund the same system could be updated to show the fact.
Literate Vim
This absolutely does happen.

I have a small business that is facing it right now. I either pay the Yelp tax or they have taken our community-created page with all 5-star reviews completely off the site. Can still find it from Google search, but can't find it from search within Yelp. And if you search for us, they show our competitor as a search result.

Got a call from Yelp sales guy about an offer 'that expires this week', just the day after our listing could not be found.

Now, I can't tell you my business name, because they will bury it even further. Yelp is as shady as it gets on the internet.

PM me and I'm happy to tell you who I am after I confirm who you are.

MicroBadger - Be Docker Image Conscious
There's nothing subtle, and everything dishonest, about this.
The issue is that views definitely have an impact. However, especially on mobile, this impact is very difficult to measure. So most of the DR industry uses last click, even though they know its incorrect, because there is nothing better.
Comments superficially like yours are sometimes true, but in this context what you're saying is not relevant. Yelp could delete reviews if they felt like it. However, the 1st amendment does protect both the consumers and Yelp from the businesses, because it also "covers repercussions" carried out by the government on behalf of anybody. The businesses have to prove libel, otherwise they can suck it up.

The Erie Railroad [1], founded 1832, bankrupt in 1859, 1878, 1893, 1938, and 1976, now largely in disrepair.

Woolworths [2], founded 1878, the first department store in the country, once owned the tallest building in the world. Started losing market share to Sears & catalog retailers in the 1930s, defunct in 1997. Sears was itself eclipsed by WalMart, which is on the verge of being eclipsed by Amazon.

International Mercantile Marine [3], owners of the Titanic, once monopolized shipping so thoroughly that the British government paid to keep Cunard (its only competitor) alive. Bankrupt in 1916, sold White Star Lines in 1926 to a company that collapsed in 1934, lost 2/3 of its fleet in the 5 years between 1930-1935, acquired in 1931, divested all passenger vessels by 1968, bankrupt in 1986.

TWA [4], founded via merger in 1930, almost went bankrupt in 1931, dissolved by act of Congress in 1934 but the brand was maintained by one of the daughter companies, purchased by Hughes in 1938, forced (by the government) to be sold in 1966, purchased by Icahn in 1985, bankrupt 1992, bankrupt 1995, final bankruptcy 2001.

There's a pretty massive survivorship bias when looking only at companies you've heard of, and even if they've survived in name for a century, it's not unusual for them to have periodic bankruptcies every 10-20 years that wipe out the shareholders.

It's sad that Vagrant is so married to VirtualBox in practice. VirtualBox on Linux is especially bad (crashy kernel drivers).

Interpretations of Probability
Nice but very incomplete article. Some observations below...

You will need to build a cross compiler toolchain (binutils and GCC). I.e. i686-pc-elf-gcc for 32 bit or x86_64-pc-elf-gcc for 64 bit. The compiler that comes with your OS is built for a different target and may have downstream patches, esp. if you're on Ubuntu. Things may seem to work initially but you will encounter strange bugs sooner or later.

Build a bootable and debuggable ELF file, not a flat binary. All it takes is a slightly different linker script. You won't get very far without a debugger on bare metal projects.

You need to zero fill .bss section in the boot code before jumping to C code.

I recommend using gas instead of nasm. You might like Intel syntax but you'll need inline (at&t) assembly in C code anyway. Nicer to have just one syntax. It's just an assembler syntax, you will get used to it in a matter of hours

Use a makefile. Fancy build systems (e.g. cmake) aren't nice with kernel images.

See below for examples. The first one isn't my project but I contributed the linker script, Makefile and README for making bootable ELFs. The latter is my x86_64 toy kernel project from years ago.

digiKam 5.0.0 is published
There are incorporated entities which don't, in terms of actual economic activity -- they're not-for-profit charities, generally.

They _still_ need to have some source of income, however, generally through donations, though other sources may exist (foundations, grants, some operate revenue-generating services, direct government aid, etc.).

The reason for the balance of inflow and outflow is based on how our economic system works: there are demand bidding rights which are handed out every so often (dollars, pounds, euros, yen, yuan), whose creation is limited to specific entities (national mints, central banks, and banks generally, via loans).

Being able to freely create those demand rights without limite doesn't work on a few counts.

The general principle is that the bids you take in have to match, over time, the ones you hand out (when you're bidding on goods or services). There are exceptions: bids can be borrowed, those debts can be dismissed, and a bunch of other stuff. But it's complicated.

A company is essentially a flow box which accepts and issues those bids. And over time, the bids in have to match the ones out (or you get to the complicated situations listed above).

In the case of Alphabet, it can continue to operate money-losing companies, but only by diverting bids (at the rate of about $900 million/year) from its other companies. Since one of those (Google) essentially mints cash, that's not a large concern.

TL;DR: We don't live in a moneyless society yet.

Have you tried to read a page on facebook without an account? It's intended to be an almost unusable experience.

On loading a page, I get a modal popup obscuring all content insisting I "register" or "login", with a "not now" option. Then when you click "not now", the bottom third of the screen is obscured by a fixed overlay.

It is loosely describable as readable, but in practice, it's a fight to read it. The element has randomly generated id, so can't easily be blocked with ublock or similar.

If you sit around moonshotting all day and never shipping they're worth $0.

So far, no moonshot by a big corp has paid off. Maybe it's too early, or more likely Google is hoarding tech and filing patents like a rational engineer running a business using machine learning would do, and while that's good for Google it's bad for Society to have so much cool tech locked away in a damp basement when it could be changing lives and being iterated on.

Though I can't speak for the parent post's author, applying that post's spirit to your example would instead yield, for the quadratic formula:

'The negative linear term, added and subtracted from the square root of the discriminant, all divided by twice the quadratic term'; then before or after this you'd define the discriminant, as it's an illuminating concept in its own right.

I see the target of this wishful thinking a sort-of middle-ground between a formula's derivation/proof and its compact form.
