Look at how the cloud providers offer support for containers.

Do they ever offer to run your container in the same VM as those of other customers?

They never do this. For secure isolation, they only trust VM isolation. It seems unlikely that this will change.

> What would even be the point of user namespacing, network namespaces, filesystem namespaces, etc... if not security?

They're for installation/configuration/administration. They allow you to run multiple applications on one Linux VM, and to configure them independently, almost as if you were running multiple VMs (with the advantage of lower overheads - only one instance of the kernel).

Kubernetes puts this to good use, letting you treat application deployments as commodities across your cluster.

Containers do not offer secure isolation. They are by nature much leakier than the isolation VMs can offer. The Docker folks still treat isolation-failures as bugs, of course. (Well, ignoring things like the way 'uptime' gives the uptime of the underlying machine, and not of your container.)
Thanks for your feedback. Agree, we are considering open-source OS's as well. We are at an early stage and Chromebooks were fast and cheap solutions to start with. But will take your comment into consideration.

We work with the incumbent operators and smaller Wifi providers. They offer free installations for our families and in some areas discounts on a monthly fee. Btw we thought we were solving the affordability problem, but it turned out some local Wifi operators are willing to deploy infrastructure in areas where they considered not profitable before. As part of our partnership in September, they launch a new base station in a rural area of Georgia and we are excited about it.

Anecdotally, I spent five years writing C, C++, and Python before trying a Lisp, but after I got used to them, I found parenthesized s-expressions (with sufficient indentation and coloring - but that should be a given) to be significantly _more_ readable than C-style syntax.

You can reasonably make the argument (and I do) that the reason why mainstream programming culture hasn't adopted parenthesized s-expressions is not because they're inherently less readable, but because of massive bandwagon effects + inertia of C-style syntax due to the proliferation of...C-style languages, which trains peoples' minds to prefer said syntax, even if their steady-state characteristics are worse than that of s-expressions.

Incorrect, you're overlooking the fact that he's referring to the distribution of ability. Nowhere does he say that women have less ability than men. For instance, for 2/3rds of girls reading is their best subject while for 2/3rds of boys math is their best subject. But, girls actually outscore boys in both reading and math. In fact, I believe he cited a study that referenced this sort of distribution in boys and girls.

The differences in the distribution suggest that girls are more likely to prefer reading (because they're usually better at it than math) while boys are more like to prefer math (because they're usually better at math than reading). He's talking about how the distribution of ability affects preference. It does not say that girls are worse than boys than math - it actually says the opposite, that girls are slightly better at both math and reading.

If you're optimizing for pure employability and a low entry barrier then Java, but don't expect projects to be too interesting or well paid unless it's FinTech. Likewise with C#. JavaScript + React is a pretty sure bet with plenty of options if you're interested in frontend development. However, if you're optimizing for money and are wiling to invest time (at least one year) in learning then it's:

- Swift + iOS.

- Scala/Go + Backend development: distributed or real time systems.

- Python + Machine Learning.
Good example :-)

The 'hard' solution is to teach people to communicate about topics on which they disagree. An easier solution would be to have employee moderators. A combination of providing communication classes and moderators with a dose of involuntary enrollment might be a middle ground.

For a long time Google generated hundreds of thousands of dollars per employee in revenue which they have been banking for the most part, and occasionally spending on acquisitions. An alternative would be an employee communications support network that promoted good communication skills and facilitated improvements in employee discourse on all topics. Google could have funded an entire research institute and a few thousand employee 'coaches' without meaningfully digging into their cash pile. That would have been "non-traditional."

When I was a kid, I just thought that all couples who lived together were "married". It didn't matter whether there was a ceremony, or a legal contract. They lived together, made out with each other (ew), and since they were family friends, they were also automatically uncle and auntie.

Then priests and politicians decided to mess it all up.

> Whether one sees a distinction between these two concepts may align with one's position on the spectrum between individualist and authoritarian. Or maybe not, I really don't know...

If so, then we would assume that people who see a distinction there would also see nothing wrong with different countries having different political orders, for example stronger gender roles, procreation being tied to marriage, and marriage being tied to household business? We might assume that authoritarians would want to stamp out such variations and individualists would assume that different cultures can organize things like marriage and business differently?

But that doesn't match our observations I think, so it has to be something different. Either that or everyone is secretly an authoritarian when it comes to disagreements regarding social order and ethics of relationships or when we decide to be because it is "really important."

>For certain definitions of “marginally,” I suppose.

The choice isn't just "manufacture in China" or "manufacture in the US". According to Peter Zeihan's The Accidental Superpower (2014), manufacturing in China has gone from being one quarter as expensive as in Mexico to 25% more expensive. He expects that the US shale and natural gas boom will further reduce costs in Mexico and the US.

> otherwise violate mutual trust

Getting sponsored means getting paid to say something that you otherwise wouldn't. It calls everything else that they say or recommend into question.
I've always been a fan of thinking of systems as strictly-delineated combinations of two components:

• protocol glue (which is OOP/actor modelled)

• business logic (which is best served by being strongly-typed and statically verified.)

I'm a big fan of writing most of your code as libraries and "engines" in a language like Haskell or an ML (or Rust, if your algorithms are best specified on a pointer or RAM-word machine); and then taking those components and hooking them up to the outside world using an actor language like Erlang.

IMHO, this uses each language for its strengths. You've given the argument for why business logic is suited to languages like Haskell, so I'll give the other half:

Languages like Erlang, or Smalltalk, or other "true" OOP languages (i.e. languages where actors control not just their own state, but their own executing code) are good at reacting to arbitrary untyped messages, doing clever things after only partially parsing them, without needing a complete understanding of what they mean. This allows for components like proxies or brokers to react to metadata on RPC requests without needing to constantly be told about the typings of new messages. This also allows rolling upgrades of distributed systems that don't require a preliminary "teach the system that the new message-type exists and it should ignore it" upgrade.
That doesn't say that they aren't suited, only that it might explain the reason "we don't see equal representation".

There is no mention of "lacking" anything.

Someone can be fantastic at something in particular ways and still be unmotivated to pursue it for various reasons having absolutely nothing to do with particularly a "lack" of ability - and that premise aligns superbly with that sentence and the entire memo.

Not by tweeting, but I'm sure the US Government could through legislation implement something along the lines of "If you have any operations in america and the majority of your manufacturing/imports/etc. is in China, you have to move your manufacturing processes in x timeframe or subject to penalties."

This was all built because of unethical ads, not because I was tired of seeing sponsors. I still don't think blocking every sponsor is the best option ethically, I think whitelisting is something that should be done to make it more ethical. I also think people should consider whitelisting channels from ublock origin (I do that).

"Widely debunked" is factually inaccurate. It has not been debunked at all. It is not popular and leads to a lot of emotional responses, and there was one particular mechnical error in a single table in the original paper (Foote and Goetz); it has been addressed by the authors and did not materially affect the basic analysis or high-level conclusion.

An independent study on the lead/crime hypothesis (impact of childhood lead exposure on criminality) came to a similar conclusion.[0] (Reyes is interviewed in the podcast linked below.) Finally, they recently published a 15-years on follow-up study, which showed continued support for the hypothesis.[1]

>The American political spectrum is way bigger than the political spectrum in most European countries. There's a lot more potential for deep disagreement in the US when people talk politics.

Ummmm....

The entire American political spectrum fits in the center-right of most European countries' political spectrums.

When was the last time you saw a political discussion between a Socialist, a Social Democrat, and an old-school Christian Democrat?

Here's how I describe American politics to Europeans:

In the US we have two political parties. We have the Democrats which you know as the Liberal party.

And then we have the Republicans which you know as the Liberal party.

Yes, Mitt Romney and Barack Obama would be in the same party in Sweden, Denmark, Germany, France, etc.

I don't think that it's correct to call Google corrupted, but I tend to believe that a corporation will sink as low as its' host government needs it to -- and the United States doesn't have too great a track record with regards to fair global politics and open/honest behavior.

In other words : When your government asks your business to play ball, you'll more often than not do so.

'Irish Google' is only a nice tax evasion -- Google itself is at the beck and call of the US -- if only for how hard it'd be to operate without their support.
Optics aside, it seems like the obvious solution is to give people a free supply of safe drugs and a safe place to use them.

Drug users would be better off because their supply would be safe and they wouldn't need to resort to crime to pay for it. Current supervised consumption sites have also been extremely successful at preventing overdose deaths and somewhat successful at directing users who want treatment to the available resources.

The public would be better off because of the same crime reduction, as well as the reduction of violence and disorder stemming from black markets for illegal drugs. Public use would become so much more of a hassle than the legal alternative that it would likely disappear.

The government would be better off because acquiring currently-illegal drugs legally is super cheap (most of them literally grow on trees, or at least plants), and is almost certainly vastly cheaper than the current prohibition strategy.

The obvious problems:

- No one is going to want a consumption site anywhere near their neighborhood.
- Some number of people who would otherwise quit might continue to use if it were cheap and easy.
- Something along the lines of "I'd love to sit around all day watching TV and drinking beer but I have bills to pay and I don't want my taxes paying for some low-life to get high."

I think of it this way: immigrant cultures are their own culture, that should not be confused with their "parent" culture in their homeland.

Thus, Crab Rangoon is an authentic cuisine... of the American Chinese immigrant culture. As in, it was invented by "American Chinese" people—a particular people—and they can claim it as part of their (rather new-ish) cultural heritage.

As long as you make this distinction, the argument over whether something "is" authentic goes away. Everything is authentic. The question becomes: what is this-or-that food an authentic example of?

Isn't that Google blog article completely ignoring the fact that Google implementing tracking protection would hurt their ability to maintain marketplace dominance in one domain (66%+ of web browsers) in order to further maintain and entrench Google's dominance and profitability in yet another (web advertising), and therefore anti-competitive [0][1]?

I can completely understand that the software engineers working on Chrome are separate from the ones working on Ads, but ignoring that conflict interest that is extremely obvious to some outsiders reduces how seriously these arguments can be taken by this group of people. I think Google needs to do more to highlight that their technical choices in Chrome and other Google products and services does not advantage their Ad business if that is truly the case.

If Google did get split up, maybe the baby Googles could keep their open culture?

Update: I realize that this comment appears sarcastic and ill-meaning, but the top ranked post on HN is about " Deconstructing Google’s excuses on tracking protection" as of this moment (Friday, August 23, 2019 2:25 PM PDT) [0]. If we take the following together:

1. the open culture at Google as a known good quantity for some of the people who like to work there and keep working there

2. each of the products and services that Google offers today as respective known good quantities

3. The aggregate of Google's influence with respect to how the products and services in 2. sometimes has negative impacts on the marketplace.

4. The size of Google causes the open culture in 1. to start being a hindrance to Google itself.

Then it seems obvious to me that the size and breadth of Google is the problem. I genuinely mean all of this in good-faith. If Google stayed small, then maybe services like Google Reader could still be around because the gap between cost and benefit would not have been as wide.
