Could move to a rural location setup a 3g hotspot (remembering in these countries rural 3g is becoming common is actually fairly cheap) and run generators as backups?

"When the plan is foggy, that’s the moment to communicate as broadly as possible."

Here's a good rule of thumb: Ask them to explain what has to be done, and then count the number of times they say "it should be pretty straightforward".

Consider those multipliers of complexity.
In the past, Nintendo would likely not have had as much to worry about, as Nintendo has a habit of always selling their hardware at a profit. That said, I think the status quo of the industry means that every console manufacturer has to take security very seriously, for the following reasons.

- Back catalog sold on newer platforms. Nintendo sells access to old games on new platforms. They want to charge you a few bucks to play the original Zelda, and for each additional game, not just allow you to throw on an emulator and hundreds of games and be done for free.

- Available games and game developer targets. Developers choose what markets they want to target. Many already forego the Nintendo markets because they are generally underpowered compared to current gen hardware, and/or the cost benefit doesn't work out because there are less buyers for that type of game for Nintendo consoles. The gamer that wants to buy Dark Souls and has a Switch probably also has either a PS4 or an X-Box. Not preventing piracy of games makes this an even worse cost-benefit ratio, as you may end up subsidizing your game being wildy popular but largely unbought on Nintendo platforms if they don't. Look into the history of the Dreamcast.

- For other console manufacturers, there's also the issue of recouping production cost. Licensed games pay a few bucks back the console manufacturer for each game sold, and they rely on this and sell the systems at a loss to help with market penetration. If a PS4 costs $350 to produce and sells for $300, you don't want people finding alternate uses or running unlicensed software (that doesn't kick back money) on them. You really don't want someone to produce some interesting free software that catches on so people start buying them just to run that software. That's money streaming out the door (I'm not sure if the PS4 or Xbox One are sold under cost at this point in the current generation, but I suspect not. Usually there ar later hardware revisions that make them more profitable to sell outright).

So, really, it's just market economics and incentives. I do agree that limits on DRM would be in all our interests though. The only way I think the game companies would get on board with this (or more likely support it if forced to) would be to completely separate the "official" system and bios from the "general purpose" hardware access mode. That would still probably give hackers and crackers some clues about how to exploit the firmware, but may allow people to develop customized game console operating systems to run all the homebrew you want. Semi-useful for roo based systems, but actually fairly useful for mobile systems like the PSP, DS and Switch.

This completely misses the point.

First of all, you are only correct if assuming a gaussian distribution of heights (for which I have seen no evidence).

Who cares if it accommodates 3SD, 4SD or 5SD? You would never engineer a system around standard deviations of a distribution of heights.

Instead it's about marginal cost. Ideally you would accommodate 100% of your passengers unless their marginal cost is just too high.

You are also assuming the distribution of passengers is the same as the distribution of the population. Or the distribution of customers willing to pay certain prices is the same as the general population.

Airline seating is very complex as it's not a fixed price, changes constantly, and even varies from seat to seat in a single flight. Prices aren't fixed so just because you increase marginal cost does not mean reduce profit.

Lastly it also ignores completely the fact that even a shorter person would enjoy the increased room.
One of the things left out entirely is that WA state cannabis farmers are not yet allowed to grow outdoor under sunlight, so they're facing massive price pressure in wholesale $/gram sold to processors, but still have the huge operating costs of running indoor farms with electrical bills for lighting, lighting equipment, ventilation, climate control etc.

I honestly don't understand this, since it is a lot less expensive to build a highly secure double-perimeter razorwire fence around a farm than it is to pay $4500/month electrical bills.

Sunlight is free.

That's curious. Is there any explanation why? Naively, I would assume the opposite, although I can imagine some factors that would point in that direction.

Why is that catastrophic? Is there good evidence¹ that the kids would have been better off otherwise?

I think it is pretty similar to the boutique small volume/high-cost products sold in Whole Foods. There are still a number of small artisanal handmade soap manufacturers, and they command premium prices for what is perceived as a premium product. People buy them. People also buy giant packs of soap at Walmart. Both markets exist simultaneously. The small places will almost certainly not be able to compete in a race to the bottom on pricing with corporate entities that have the capital to spend several million on a farming facility.

Sure. User namespace-ing is a feature of container security that allows you to grant a process root access to a filesystem that itself is not root. To the running process it appears that it is or can run as root, but on the host it actually isn’t root, but some uid:gid offset. Here’s an article explaining more:
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/user_namespaces.7.html

The gist is that a container is further sandboxed by the kernel that is agnostic of the higher level security precautions. It’s not perfect by itself, but used in conjunction with other features like AppArmor or SELinux and SecComp it can make a container virtually sandboxed.
NYC aggressively arrests anyone breaking the rules so homeless don't stay there.

Now I'm in a city with a lot of visible homeless and the government tolerating it is the real problem. They allow homeless to build massive camps filled with drugs, garbage, and human waste.

And they don't hang out in these gross camps for company. It's mostly for easy access to drugs. The city should tear these camps down the day they form.

Homeless population is one of the toughest issues a city can have. Homeless people aren't stupid, and the more welcoming you make your city the more homeless you will end up with. Considering the size of the US, there's a practically unlimited number of homeless that can come to your city if it's welcoming enough, and that's exactly what has happened to SF. There's plenty of other places with decent weather, but the homeless problem in CA is mostly a product of the politics there.

We pour endless billions toward 'solving' homelessness when it's been a problem since ancient times. Some people are just too crazy or addicted to live a normal life. The answer is to bring back asylums to hold these people against their will, but that's too politically radioactive to do.

I have a family member of the crazy variety and I would love if they were in an asylum. I wouldn't have to worry about them dying on the streets. This family member is so crazy that if you gave them a house they would likely burn it down or otherwise ruin it anyways. Far too crazy to live with the family, basically a danger to themselves and society. I would guess the majority of homeless are the same.

All these initiatives to provide housing and training are misguided, a normal person will rarely be homeless for more than a few months. The majority of the homeless population is chronic, and these people would already have shelter if they were sane or sober enough to maintain one.
I think there’s a transgressive element to pooping on the sidewalk specifically, as opposed to areas that are still accessible but not directly in people’s walking paths.

>Minecraft players are playing a game to gather resources to build things. Alice is playing a economic simulation. Obviously she is going to win.

What is missing is that people were still able to play minecraft without the market, even on the given server. Did like the price? Then go mine your own, with the same chance of getting it as you would in the vanilla version.

The only person who did anything bad (which I think may still be arguable, but lets just say the only one who did anything bannable) was the one duping the items.

If anything, the tax they implemented in the 1.7 server was worse than the market takeover of the 1.6 server because it wasn't something a person could opt out of and forced an effective black market.
Glad to help!

Regarding the getting started, probably just a a section on the steps to install cookie cutter, then the sample shell commands to bring it up with docker.

And I agree with heroku offering a good value to get started. However, do you think your audience is at that level? Furthermore what happens to my app if/when I graduate to my own server at digital ocean or kube cluster?

Which brings me to another question: who do you think this is for? Beginners or maybe more advanced devs who are needing to prototype ideas or have a greenfield project in front of them?

Myself, I am a capable dev with existing infrastructure at hand (laptop and docker swarm clusters on azure, for example).

Maybe rather than seeing a CI pipeline to heroku you could offer alternatives to push work from local docker to a kube cluster or swarm? I do that with all my projects through bitbucket pipelines CI.
Sure, you can write an article demonstrating exploitation of Ubuntu containers and call it "Escaping Ubuntu containers".
Be good at what you do. Do it in half the time. Work from home so no one complains that you're getting all of the work done in half the time (people will complain about everything). Of course, you have to find a position that isn't a sweatshop to begin with for this to work. Small businesses--not startups--can be good places to practice this.

Minor is the wrong word. I was trying to get across that the Bolsheviks were but one political entity that existed as of about 1915 and ended up winning, and even as of 1904 they didn't exist separately within their own party (as you say). It was a relatively small group of men that ended up dominating Russia, partially due to how ruthless they were willing to be.

I'm still not sure how the OP knew any Bolsheviks, was anyone calling themselves that in 1970?

In order for the idea of mass killings under communism to be an intellectually honest one, the mass killings have to be at least correlated with communism, if not caused by it.

Was it caused by communism in general or some persons in particular is debatable.
"Ubuntu container" is just not a name typically used for anything. "Docker container" is.

Let's make it realistic and say he had used RedHat OpenShift as his target and example for the exploit. I'd be completely fine with the title referencing that exact product by name.

Why would he have to dance around what he is using in his demo? Maybe that concrete product has multiple layers of security or lacks them, or uses a certain version etc. He can only speak to what he himself was using and testing. "Escaping Docker container..." is the best short description (as you would need it for a title) of this demo exploit I can think of.

I haven’t paid the author a dime, but did just sign up to get the free chapter of the book, i recommend you read it because it’s his actual advice. My review was it’s pretty good, a bit rushed/compressed, but his advice is very straightforward and all focused on getting more and better work done for your company, how much more team oriented does it get than that?

BTW i didn’t see any marketing claim on his site that he’ll magically turn you into a 10x developer, but googling found this blog. Read it and try to tell me it’s advice isn’t good or that it’s “corrosive” in any way to the team.

Because the Docker project doesn’t make money off of security. It is actually quite infuriating, because they have become the de facto container image standard. Most of their security has actually come from Twistlock (I am not a Twistlock employee, FYI). My recommendation to most Admins or Devs that are serious about container security is to let your developers use docker, but run your images with CRI-O on your servers:

Clearly both of the mentioned groups are guilty of some wrongdoing.
Ok yeah I see what you mean.

The fear that I've heard described by politicians in my city is that uber drivers could position themselves in areas where they know from experience they will be most profitable (eg. dense downtown core) while avoiding areas that over time are not as profitable (eg. sparse outer areas). This fact, coupled with the fact that they are not obligated to travel to a certain area to receive a fare, means that certain areas could receive less reliable service as drivers chase high profit areas and are able to ignore others.
> Shelby is indeed responsive to his campaign contributors. He is not responsive to voters. New York is really no different: politicians are responsive to their campaign contributors, not to voters.

That's where you're wrong. Campaign contributors have basically no influential power over New York politicians, any more than voters themselves do.

Ironically, New York serves as a great counterpoint to your argument, because it has some of the strongest - if not the very strongest* public campaign finance laws in the entire country.

> But to say that this is a uniquely New York problem is completely wrong and fails to see the forest for the trees.

It sounds like you really don't understand the extent of the problems that exist in New York. Yes, it is a problem unique to New York, because no other state has a political system structured the way New York's is (and no other state has a government as corrupt as New York's is).

But again, that's not because "bribery is legal", because (a) it's not, and (b) focusing on "bribery" misses the heart of the actual corruption problems that New York has.

Have you considered studying how you communicate? There was something on HN recently titled How to write emails like a CEO (or similar).

I studied my old CEO's communication style, holding it up against how many of my peers communicated. I noticed that he got right to the point, expecting other people to assume he considered multiple ancillary points. My (lower status) peers' emails would meander, and read like they wanted to show their superiors how good/smart they were at their job, and that they thought of every last thing.

The high status person didn't feel the need to pre-emptively brain dump.

My larger point is if your emails are perceived in such a way, it's worth improving.

In what way does that mean that Google services are required for Android? Lots of Linux games rely on Steam being present.

If you don't want Steam, don't use games that require it. If you don't want Google services like Google's Maps widget or its push messaging service or its game leaderboard, use apps that use another data source for maps and another persistent connection for push messages and another leaderboard service.

F-Droid and Amazon's App Store are filled entirely with apps that don't (can't) use Google's services, yet many on HN blindly continue to claim that this is not possible.
> Overworked people is a red flag indeed, but it is usually a symptom of a deeper problem that is unlikely to be solved with more hires.

Not necessarily. Accepting a new project or extra responsibilities in exchange for a generous sum may increase your company's workload unexpectedly, which leads to overworked people while the company struggles with the hiring process. Another example is losing a team member right before crunch time.
