Well, so far we've had shocking revelations -- like the fact that the Clinton campaign pays attention to polls and tries to craft advertising and messaging campaigns to match what likely voters want.

> but something told me that the main benefactor with this technology was Google

Yep, and that something was that it was an initiative by Google.

They are not a charity. They would not do this is it didn't benefit them (or inconvenience a competitor, though Google seem to err on the side of the former rather then aggressively going for the latter) in some way. The fact that is offers benefits for others is secondary, or at best has equal footing in their collective mind (many individuals within the company may be more altruistic individually, but the company as a single entity won't be).
In fact let's face it, half of being a techie is knowing how and what to Google

BBC Blogs – Adam Curtis – HYPERNORMALISATION
Containers are often touted is this novel concept that's bound to revolutionise software development and software delivery in particular.

The general idea isn't all that new however. Java Applications have been delivered as containers since 1995 (although the concept isn't explicitly named that way with Java applications).

Each JAR / WAR is a self-contained application that can run anywhere where there's a JVM (which is pretty much everywhere).

From a feature perspective the only real innovation of Docker-style containers probably is that those aren't limited to the JVM but are (largely) language- and runtime-agnostic.

Yes, I do think that somehow we've been screwed starting from agriculture, and that societies where people have lots of free time are basically hunters and gatherers societies.

AFAIK Paint.NET makes use of .NET functionality only supported on Windows.

Beyond that it's closed source, so it would require the Paint.NET developers to port it to Linux.

I remember that ages ago the Mono team used Paint.NET as a testbed for how complete and usable their System.Windows.Forms and System.Windows.Drawing implementation was. But back then Paint.NET was still open source. By now the source code isn't available anymore and it has grown a lot of things that are implemented in native code for performance (set operations on selection regions) or talking to things that have no equivalent in .NET (DirectWrite). It also uses WPF for a few things, so isn't completely Windows Forms anymore either. As it currently stands, Paint.NET is very much a Windows program, despite being written mostly in C#.

LXC is nice, as a building block, but it is far from "a breeze".

It is refreshing, however, being able to write, in a couple of hours, a setup script from scratch that debootstraps an install, chroots in there to configure it and launches the container via systemd-nspawn. Very few moving parts, excellent for development environments. Not yet something I trust in production, though.
I suspect the toolbar is there to clearly identify the origin URL. As you can see, safari gives you no hint that this page is not actually google: https://imgur.com/a/2BtMX

As for the X button, I suppose google wishes people to use google search result like a news reader. I agree that it is redundant with the back button but the interaction does seem faster (I suspect that the page is actually loaded in an iframe on top of the results page)
That's a feature of physics, not vague notions around what "we" have built. Time is and can never be "plentiful" nor "shared in". Everybody has a limited amount of time which is theirs and theirs alone, and what you do with it matters - it's called opportunity cost. When you spend a large amount of time on something, it's not unreasonable to consider whether it was worth it (although that worth can reasonably be measured along other axes than money).

And following on from this line of thought, it is therefore not unreasonable to conclude that they did think of this scenario, but feel that the risk of calling Assange's bluff (see the speculation that the insurance files are just random data meant to seed misinformation) is less than the risk of whatever they think he knows about them being leaked.

Which makes you wonder, what are they afraid of to consider such action?

For some reason, this is something I have very often thought about. Not because I think I'll ever to go prison, but because I've often wondered what I'd do if I didn't have access to things that please me, like a musical instrument, or a computer. I've often thought that I would also be capable of keeping my mind excited without anything, and for me the one item that always stands out is that I'd commit myself fully to number theory and just think about integers and prime numbers all day and all night, for years, trying to work out the most basic puzzles in existence.

That would probably never happen, I'd more likely end up a depressed opiate addict, but the thought that it could happen, even in the face of incarceration, gives me a bit of strange solace.

We used Docker sort of early on, and got out of it around v1.6. Many problems that you had to work around yourself, but the one you just reminded me of was the repos: There was Dockerhub, a third-party place without 100%(-ish) uptime, and two serve-your-own, one of which was a black box you could never delete from, and the other had stamped "NOT FOR PRODUCTION USE" in big letters on its github page.

I remember one of the engineers giving a talk, saying that the problem they had was growing too big too quickly - they didn't have time to properly work out the base architecture in the early days.
I am reminded of something that I heard on the Alcatraz audio tour (which I strongly recommend if you ever tour Alactraz, which is awesome), where a former prisoner said he made up a game to help pass the time in his months of solitary confinement:

He'd take a button off of his shirt and throw the button down on to the floor of his cell, in the pitch darkness. Then he'd crawl on his hands and knees to find it. Then he'd repeat the process again.
Doesn't really sound like a bug.

Check whether you can increase the Lift-Off Distance (LOD) in the mouse's configuration.

I have a good quality mouse pad, but that specific material, combined with the specific sensor in my mouse meant that having an LOD setting of 1 (it's a scale value from one to 5) would make the mouse work fine, except for intermittent stuttering that made me think there was dust on the sensor.

Disclaimer: I had to download the mouse's Win-only utility to change this setting.
Assanges version is "The rape charges are fake smokescreen used to extradite me to USA via sweden". Now this fails the Occam'ss razor. If USA cared they would extradite Assange directly from UK, Swedish detour adds nothing of value. Only makes things much more complicated. The relationship between UK and USA spooks have much warmer relation than USA and Sweden, and Sweden would still needs UK's permission to to extradite to USA. Wikileaks is now become all about Assanges inflated ego, where he believes world revolves around him and Hillary is personally targeting drones against him. Meanwhile in real world, if Assange weren't, someone else would be publicizing leaks.

The great irony of it all is that Max penalty Assange faces is 6 years in comfy swedish prison. He chooses instead to lock himself in an embassy for 4 years so far...

I'm doing the same with a couple of containers and my experience is pretty much the opposite. What containers are you using, if I may ask?

I'm using jwilder's nginx rproxy container, the let's encrypt helper container for that plus half a dozen Web apps on a VPS. Among those Weechat, two instances of vanilla nginx, rutorrent, dovecot, mattermost, nextcloud and a test environment for my Python tinkering. Works like a charm. Upon bringing up a new container, I supply the desired subdomain and my letsencrypt user data, the container comes up and uses SSL plus automatically renewed certificates.

My Docker experience so far - in a private, limited, very much not production environment - has been "virtualisation light" all the way.

I think of Docker as a somewhat extended chroot, to wrap my mind around it.
It doesn't save them money in the long run. However, in the short run, it saves them a bunch of money, since they are simply promising to buy panels from Panasonic, and they don't have to pay up front for the machinery, labor, and raw materials to produce them.

This happened because they made a _statistical_ model of the Titanic disaster, and learned from it?

No - statistics as the discipline that we think of today wasn't really around until the work of Gosset[1] and Fisher[2] which was done a few years after this.

I'm sure you noted that I was very careful with what I claimed: "the lesson of the Titanic (too few lifeboats) had been learnt".

These days we'd quantify the lesson with statistics. Then, they didn't have that tool.

Instead, we have testimony[3] relaying the same story: Just one question. Have you any notion as to which class the majority of passengers in your boat belonged? - (A.) I think they belonged mostly to the third or second. I could not recognise them when I saw them in the first class, and I should have known them if there were any prominent people. (Q.) Most of them were in the boat when you came along? - (A.) No. (Q.) You put them in? - (A.) No. Mr. Ismay tried to walk round and get a lot of women to come to our boat. He took them across to the starboard side then - our boat was standing - I stood by my boat a good ten minutes or a quarter of an hour. (Q.) At that time did the women display a disinclination to enter the boat? - (A.) Yes."

So yes, I agree - it was a theory, which our modern modelling tools can show matched well with what the statistics showed happened.

My whole point is that this is very useful, unlike the OP who dismissed it as useless.

Hey All,
I run UX-App (https://www.ux-app.com/dev/editor?m=trial), a web based mockup & prototyping tool, that attempts to give more flexibility to users by directly styling html components & manipulating the full range of front end events using an intuitive drag & drop graphical programming language. Our model is a monthly subscription, starting @ $5/month with all features included.

We're steadily growing just by being there every day. I try to write about my experience across all social channels + medium, seek partnerships with other like-minded businesses, find biz devs who will engage their network, go to meetups of product/project managers and seek partnerships with other sites in our domain.

No. And I guess the same could be said for the opposite theory.

But just look around you: everything that is man made has taken an enormous amount of effort and accumulated knowledge. It's not been made by people who worked three hours per day devoting the rest to socialisation and a painting lessons. The people who invented antibiotics worked their asses off in university and laboratories to find a way for other people to survive infections. All the tools that they were using have been invented by people literally living in their shops and laboratories, and mass produced in factories, keeping their availability high and their price low.
If you take any situation or object in your life and follow backwards the chain of work and invention that has been needed to design it, produce it and keep it working, you realise that this chain has required an enormous amount of effort by everybody involved.
