In particular since the base image is shared among all containers using it. It's 35 mb extra for n containers (n>>1).
I don't want to wait for these to be released in the summer, I want them NOW! Especially the window management parts.
You're only playing that 40mb once though. Multiple containers sharing the same parent layers will not require additional storage for the core OS layer.
Why is that a bad thing? Binaries are binaries, whether you copied from a deb package or completely built from source code (assuming reproducible build, which Debian supports), they are the same.
Ubuntu used to be much larger so I wouldn't be surprised if people switched to Alpine and never looked back.
yes, i used to use "simple green" for cleaning because it was advertised as non-toxic, but the resultant sneezing and coughing made me move to even simpler cleaners like dish soap and baking soda.

That's a significant chunk of possibly passive change. For some reason I doubt it'll be that simple, but if it does work out to be a matter of cleaning it once in a while and doing some routine maintenance, that's more than enough money to convince people to quickly pay off their Tesla I'm sure. Buy a couple, and they pay for themselves!
My grandmother died from AD around 30 years ago. My dad has AD now and there's really not been much progress since his mother died. I'm very much hoping that there are some breakthroughs in the next 30 years. I'd rather die from anything else than AD.

Perhaps it wasn't clear that I meant to lump angels and VCs together as "early investors". "Pre-IPO investors" would require unpacking a TLA.
Even a 10 year old PC (assuming it wasn't low-end at time of purchase), with a SSD, is still good enough for most people.

For me, I'm planning on getting a Pixel 3a. The talk of it being like a "2 year old flagship" sounds great to me, not a detriment at all. I'm upgrading from a Honor 8, which is an almost 3 year old mid-range phone, so the Pixel 3a will be a decent upgrade, even though the performance of my Honor 8 is still perfectly good. I'm mainly upgrading for the camera, 3 years of software updates and because my Honor 8's Bluetooth is becoming less reliable over time.
You would. Except most statically linked binaries may still need ca-certificates, tzdata, and some other files that libraries expect it to be present on the system.

Not to mention, you still need runtimes if you are programming in Java, Python or many other languages. https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/distroless project gives a way to have these runtimes + their lib dependencies while still maintaining a minimal attack surface.

Technically it's closer to 8. Which is quite a bit. That said even. If it's relatively very different, absolutely speaking its 40mb which is very little even if you have to transfer it up.

I have fine balance normally so I've always wanted to try a Boosted because it'd be handy when I go into our SF office or when I do stuff in San Jose.
Friendly reminder that Mozilla has decided to abandon IRC and the Rust community has therefore moved to Discord, a platform that is abusive regarding data and requires you to use a closed source javascript application to access the service.

Mozilla is a bad example because their leadership is simply pathetic, but you get the point. This trend is very, very dangerous. But well the writing was on the wall when many open source projects started moving to github.

The ideological reasons are practical reasons. We don't want to give you software freedom because we believe in some abstract ideology. We want to give you free software because we believe this is the way that you will eventually get the best software that will let you do the most.

Indeed, for software of good quality, free software wins. GNU R has completely dominated most areas of statistical computing, for example. The ideology is there not because we think you're "impure" or "evil" or something if you use non-free software, but because we think you'll be happier if you do, because you deserve it, because we all deserve free software.
> Ultimately, the public has very little control over what these companies do with this data, so there's a perverse mismatch of incentives here.

That's what I'm getting at.

When I discovered VS Code a few months ago (I'm a hobbyist just getting into coding, not a professional) after many recommendations from friends who code and are die-hard open source true-believers, I did a legitimate doubletake after reading the name of the company that developed it.

I then spent an hour researching it, trying to find out what the catch was. Was the wikipedia page entry a prank? Was I getting some kind of malware masquerading as a pro development tool? Was is a temporary trial before big licensing fees were demanded of me? Does it need some sort expensive companion server that only runs on Windows Server? What's the catch?

But no, no catch. It's free, and it's open, and it works great. But every time I launch it I feel like I've walked into some weird alternate dimension. I have to remind myself that yes, this is reality: I'm using a native-Linux, fast, reliable, extensible, MIT-licensed editor made by freakin' Microsoft. So strange, man. So strange.

Hey, Robin here - the OP. Happy to answer any questions you might have about the software, hooking it up to your existing equipment, and whether it's applicable to your particular use-case.
I don't know yet - still working on the problem. A few ideas below.

Cash (actual stuff you can hold in your hand, not the plastic stuff) in small denominations. A few thousand in 10's and 20's offers a lot of flexibility to deal with short term issues.

US treasury bills.

Dividend paying stocks, especially ones without a lot of global exposure. Not sure yet, but utilities might be good, but I haven't figured out the impact of interest rates which complicate that problem.

I'm not a fan of gold. It's hard to hold, harder to spend, but if currency valuations fluctuate wildly, a bit might be helpful, but only the stuff you can hold in your hand - a gold fund might not help much, but that's a completely different discussion that I'm not qualified to offer a good opinion on.
Wait, so you trust them to store the email, and parse it for something like spam detection, but not for some smarter feature?

I get that SF is expensive, but 10K/mo is $120k/yr. At 60 hrs/wk that's, what, $33/hr for a nanny? That seems on the high end even for SF and if your needs are that high you should be looking into an au pair.

I admittedly have never lived in SF with kids, but this seems like a series of choices and likely some exaggerations. If one of you is making >$500k and both of you chose to work, have kids, and you don't have the option to shift morning/evening so nanny/daycare is only 40 hours these are all choices.

Even at the rate you quoted it doesn't seem unreasonable to be able to stash away significant amounts of money. The problems are very similar, but the solutions are a lot more enviable than most of the US.
No I did mean commodity, but a personal commodity. Essentially when you are born you are born into a certain level or amount of privacy. And slowly as you age and use technology, everything you wished to remain personal or private is slowly given away or sucked away, stolen, etc.... It's near impossible to remain a private individual in today's world. And privacy is something that once gone you can never get back. So I refer to it as a personal or individual commodity, and these corporations would love nothing more than to take that from you... for in their words "the greater good".

Clearly an opinion piece.
>"It’s awesome that the images are pretty small, but a wide variety of software has been shown to run noticeably slower on Alpine compared to other distributions, in part due to its usage of musl instead of glibc"

If it's safe, it should easily meet the criteria and so shouldn't need exemptions and exceptions, right?

First and foremost - ads do not require personal information. Newspapers, television, and blogs have thrived on non-personalized ads for decades. The advent of targeted ads (the dam getting blown to hell) is what made general ads unfavorable (personalization and the absolute saturation of ads in every aspect of our lives).

/rant

That said, given that ads are a psychological trick to get you to purchase something (often something that you don't need in the first place), you're right: I do consider ads to be inherently bad.

"But mah blog isn't sustainable without ads" - If your blog depends on collecting a heap of pennies generated by psychological manipulation of your viewer base, your blog provides a net negative value to your viewers.

/end rant
It's more complex than that. Like any sufficiently large population sample (5M readers a month in HN's case), HN is divided on every topic where society is divided. Or rather, societies, because many countries are represented here. This story is embedded in the complicated and intensifying geopolitical controversy around China vis-à-vis the West, and can't be abstracted from it. This leaves people arguing with each other for all sorts of reasons, not all of which are obvious, and which opponents tend to view in too reductionist a way. The worst reductionist way is accusing each other of being shills or spies, which fortunately you didn't do!

From an HN point of view, how do we support intellectual curiosity while at the same time holding a place for the people—all people—whose lives are affected by this? I don't know. For the time being, the only thing I know to do is keep calling people back to the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. According to the guidelines, saying things like "I can't believe you support concentration camps" is not ok on HN, regardless of how strongly one feels about the topic. That's not a direct quote of anyone, but it's the sentiment the most aggressive commenters are jumping to when this story comes up, which it has frequently lately.
It /is/ as crazy as it sounds. To make Drax seem "carbon neutral" you have to pretend that it's fine if the Carbon spends time in the form of CO2 the atmosphere, causing global warming, rather than in a bunch of mature trees because hey, it's the same carbon. But that's exactly the thing we were trying to prevent, we're not worried about running out of carbon, we're worried we're heating the planet up.
It's much simpler and more oriented towards POSIX compatibility than performance.
There are some listed on http://featureflags.io/resources/ that might be helpful. That site is maintained by LaunchDarkly, as a general-purpose resource to promote the practice of feature flagging.

There are actually two different types of CSS, there's a persistent version which loads any time any user loads a certain page, and there's a reflected version which only shows up when a user clicks a mal-crafted link. The persistent version is the most dangerous, as it doesn't rely on the user being incredibly stupid. The reflected version is by far the most common, but since it requires the user to click on a malicious link, isn't usually the easiest to exploit.

But either way, they both allow an attacker to display information on a website, when the content didn't originate from that site.

An example of how this could be really bad, would be a script that deletes all of the content from the document body and replaces it with a login screen. Rather than actually logging you in, it submits the username and password you entered to a site the attacker has control over.

Another, less obvious method, would be a script that captures your session cookie and submits that to another site the attacker has control over. If you were logged in to the site, the attacker could use the session cookie to authenticate to the site as you without logging in.
"Tomorrow" was facetious, I apologize. But based on existing 50% contribution margins it's quite clear it could achieve earnings in the near term.

Ubuntu Docker images do not run systemd by default or in most configurations. In many images it is removed entirely.
– We collaborate inside proprietary environments

Why is that? Why have users chosen those environments? Assume they are rational beings, and get at the heart of it. Ask: "How can we address the actual user needs while supporting our goals?"

– Many Linux and FOSS geeks today use Linux only professionally

Same answer as above.

– We're not modeling our values

WHY? (Hint: "the use of nonfree" is not, and has never been a primary human motivator even for many people who "get it".)

etctera.

Finally, regarding the below... only one of these, the first, even tangentially touches on the user experience. There's an implied expectation of so much FOSS advocacy which reduces to "by writing and using our software, you will be wearing a hairshirt for the cause". This mindset is guaranteed to fail in front of users, who are by and large "non-believers".

"Having real-time chat is absolutely essential to the advancement of free software."
"We're the resistance now." "We need to create mass movement."
"Volunteer to write free and open code, to participate in communities."
"If you didn't live the history, learn from those who did."
"If you did learn from history, teach those who need to know it. Respectfully."
"Be patient. Remember that the tortoise won not only because it was patient, but because it ignored insult, ridicule and dismissal."
"Model your values. Use free software and hardware."
"Remember always how 'the rights to copy, share, modify, redistribute and improve software' are fundamental rights that matter to people."
"Work to convince developers that their software freedom matters."
So the initial letter hits upon something that the article itself ignores, namely that the FOSS community requires more than just developers. I see this attitude all the time in certain circles that only the developers contribute any value to a project, and prospective contributors should either learn to code or get f--ked. It's not terribly welcoming to the larger community (of whom the majority are not developers), and the fact that many of these projects lack adequate documentation, wide availability, or a centralized support forum only reinforces that understanding.

It's a problem that can be remedied, provided the projects stop pretending that the packagers, technical writers, GUI/UX artists, and community managers are expendable.
I've personally seen two terrible ones in recent history, and they were terrible precisely because they weren't standard templates. One was a long-winded attorney-crafted legalese designed to mislead tenants. The other was basically a DIY anti-precedent screed against tenant's rights, that loved to use that word indemnify. I was starting to wonder if that landlord had forgone buying property insurance or what.

A "template" supplied by an attorney, Nolo, or Staples is not going to create liability for a landlord. That's a complete red herring. Read the pdf I linked for a classification methodology to grade just how brazenly in conflict some clauses can be.

I wouldn't be too concerned about that in a container since you're probably not running systemd in that context.
> Sure, you may "own" a piece of land with a building on it that you had paid for, but the govt can seize it without repaying fair value.

It can also do that in the United States, through particularly tortured (and often unfair) application of eminent domain.
Container's root most certainly does map to host root unless you've enabled user namespaces (which is painful).

However, root in a container does have many privileges dropped and seccomp policies applied (assuming you haven't turned seccomp off via k8s).
Frankly, I'd reverse the question: why are you surprised that people are surprised? You think everybody has time to read the dozens of pages of legalese in Google's privacy policy, which anyway doesn't actually specify in which ways they abuse one's information?

It also sounds like you need to organise your life a bit better. Google's notorious for their screw-ups and service closures, one day you might miss an important payment because they turned off the feature or you end up on the wrong side of an A/B test.
Your entire comment history is filled with the same "I don't have to answer to anybody" style of argument. You were not simply trying to answer my question. You didn't even bother to try to understand it. You're on some kind of craven ideological power trip.
given that containers usually do not include any init system at all that’s not a good reason to pick a side.
When the company advertises much higher income for drivers and then slashes it you can only place so much blame on the driver for not understanding complex economics and politics that led to the issue. I think there's a very clear moral case again Uber (and others) for false advertising and clear manipulation of drivers. Legal, likely not but IANAL.
What's the difference between owning a 75 year lease on a property, and owning a property, where every year, you have to pay a ~1.33% property tax on the value of said property?

It's not like China is the first country in the world that has fixed-year leases on housing. I know for a fact that you can find such properties in both Canada, and the United Kingdom.

I own a Xiaomi Mi m365 scooter that I use daily for commutes around downtown Denver and while it's lighter than this bird, it is by no means lightweight. It won't fit under a desk. It attracts funny looks if I bring it into a business or restaurant, and locking it up on the street is annoying and time-consuming. Even when it's folded and locked up, people try to steal it.

The Bird One marketing document doesn't really go into detail, but the huge battery and GPS functionality suggests to me that the expected approach for using these scooters is to park them on the street and leave them there. If they borrow the anti-theft functionality that you see in VanMoof bicycles, this scooter makes a lot of sense. You ride it around town. You charge it in your garage. You leave it on the street when you're done with it. If it's stolen you look up its GPS location and the police help you get it back. There's low urgency to charge it. If it breaks, they'll fix it for you. And if you don't have it with you, Bird comps your rental scooter.

That's a lot more compelling of an offering than just a "heavier, faster, longer-range" scooter.
I like Uber but I'm scratching my head. How do so many people buy into what's clearly an unsustainable business model? I get that right now they have a huge base but isn't it just bought with incentives? I don't really see a huge competitive edge in their app and all the non-core businesses they are competing in are already crowded.
Is Bird getting ready for an IPO? Why are they targeting the consumer directly instead of the rents market they are supposed to focus on?
> When it is given away, drivers overuse available roads, and clog them. The waste is colossal. An estimate by INRIX, a consulting firm, suggests that the value of time lost to traffic in 2018 in America alone reached $87bn.

Is it "colossal?" The U.S. is a $19 trillion economy with 156 million people in the labor force. $87 billion is about $557 per person annually, about half of what people spend on coffee each year: https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/american-coffee-habits-spend-coff....

That's actually much lower than I would have thought, considering that traffic is such a big fact of life. That suggests that measures to reduce traffic may not be worthwhile.
Except that solar doesn't provide power at night, and reduced power on some days. That means you need either storage or alternative power. Areas which can provide large amounts of solar tend to be located far from population centers. That means long range transmission systems, which are among the most complex systems in existence.
