An unfortunate reality of development today is that we have developers with little to no systems experience having to decide on base images, even though they haven't built any expertise on OSs. It makes perfect sense for this to happen: A different OS is a line away in a docker file, and they have to pick something!

Among this rather large crowd, Alpine is popular for just one reason: it's small, and dealing with large images is more annoying, everything else being equal. But alpine and, say, ubuntu, aren't always equal. Those people then find one of the ugliest differences, often related to musl, or something they are using relying on glibc-like behavior, and then get to choose between a hack like this, or much larger images.

As an example my organization was moving everything to alpine, but as part of the switch we found out that some computationally heavy tasks were getting significantly worse performance under alpine than with a glibc-based distro, mainly due to the relatively well documented issues with memory allocation performance. It'd not be surprising that someone finding themselves in this kind of situation ends up just adding glibc to alpine, instead of switching back, or figuring out how to tweak the memory allocator.
This happens to video games also. Publishers give review copies with microtransactions not included, the reviewers review it, and then shortly after release they add their free-to-play garbage so they get reviews that don't take the microtransactions into account and then they add it later.

The also do it during ESRB submission to get around having to have a label that mentions in-game purchases. I'm surprised ESRB lets them get away with it, actually.

The answer to the first question is an obvious yes, and it's obvious to anyone that uses Docker. No deep knowledge required.

If you want Alpine, you do FROM alpine:(version).

I am going to go out on a limb here and suggest that owner of rent controlled property 'lets' it to a connected party who then sublets it on for market rate. Bypassing the whole rent control.

If they are going to have a rent control law, then allowing the person to sublet that on for a profit then you basically dont have rent control at all (except for the lucky / honest minority).
As I said, then the solution is to lessen the importance of the incentive system and for the state to do so, for example.

There are things in life we treat as core moral values even if they cause issues with incentives. For example, people should not go to prison for not paying their debts, even though it runs against incentives. Rent stabilization should be one of them as well. The rest of society should adjust.
I believe it's a mistake to claim it's about "the wrong views". The claims of election fraud are simply lies. It's not a matter of opinion. It's about as well documented as anything can conceivably be. Audit after audit has turned up nothing.

There's a case to be made that they shouldn't block anything, regardless of the truth. They're not in a great position to decide which untruths are worth blocking. That, at least, is a matter of opinion rather than a matter of fact.

But the tactic of "Oh, look how oppressed I am on the grounds of my opinion that grass is purple" just looks weak. I'm sure it raises plenty of barking at the sound of the dog-whistle, but that post-post-modernist "everything is a matter of opinion, there are no facts in the world" doesn't make a strong case for putting somebody in charge.

I'd suggest you to contact sales to learn the details of custom licensing options if you haven't already, also to make sure you're understanding the active users correctly for your case.

It still offers an open source option so you can test all its limits and see if it fits your case or not. Also if your project is not proprietary there is still the free for open source option in case your project is not compatible with GPL2+.
Land value taxation and reduction of regulations which artificially limit supply are the obvious solutions.

Taxing improvements to land makes it less likely that people will build or renovate, so all such taxes should be removed. Taxing land, however, disincentivizes landlords from holding land idle.

Regulations are also important.

If there is a mandatory minimum amount of parking that must be provided, then it becomes that much harder to build more units, even if you are near transit and most of your tenants don't need cars.

If there are height restrictions, restrictions on mixed-use development, restrictions on the number of units allowed, and so on then these will likewise cap the amount of supply.

Are customers able to fix the problems identified by your product?

I ask because I built a SaaS product that helped customers understand their data inside a legacy accounting product. Similarly it looked in the meta data on the back end of that accounting product and built visualizations. The problem we had was that customers didn't know how to or didn't want to fix the problems that our tool found. We had to hire accountants to go into the accounting tool and fix their problems. So it ended up being more of a tool for our accountants and less of a stand alone SaaS tool that customers actually used.
I think they are saying its proprietary and can be licensed. Weird wording to not be obvious its worse than Android licensing?
The presumption with that line of thought is that "people will WANT the album at all" and/or "WANT at any price". These are implicit assumptions you are failing to acknowledge/mention.

And they are NOT generally valid.

For example, I stopped listening to broadcast radio in the 1990s - I've never missed it and I've done without quite happily.

I stopped watch any of the mainstream TV networks in the 2000s - I've never missed it and I've done without quite happily.

I've never used a music streaming service to this day - I've never missed it and I've done without quite happily.

No one piece of media is SO VALUABLE that it's irreplaceable or necessary to have access to. NONE.

I'm not a slave to whatever emotional beast would DEMAND I live crappy music or music only available from streaming. It can always be substituted either with music from other sources or living without it entirely.

If Justine Bieber was wiped from existence, my life would not change one iota. Same goes for pretty much ALL other "artists" today - and that's made easier because most are pure garbage without any musical talent anyway. Want to put up barriers to entry preventing me from getting garbage? OK. Thanks, I guess?

It will turn out like the Saints football tickets - they can't even give them away.

This article needs a part two. It does a good job of pointing out the misalignment between user needs and organization needs, but fails to address why this misalignment exists.

The flow diagram assumes the naïve situation that this is a just a matter of awareness, education, or people becoming somehow a "better" person.

Whilst I don't have all answers, it's a complex problem set, allow me to speculate.

When you look at the type of products discussed, say a mouse, they are low margin products. Ultra quick time to market, yearly iterations, and hardly ever built to have a long time span.

That's not us though. We're "Good Corp". We do it properly. The mouse comes with a basic driver, no app needed. We do build an optional app for the lights. It's a native app, built from scratch. Smooth and fast. We build this app for 2 or 3 operating systems, natively. And we respect standards, the app can also control lights of devices from other manufacturers. Our enormous test lab tests every possible combination across operating systems and competing mouses, and will keep doing this as these underlying systems are constantly updated. Finally, we build our mouse to last, from better materials, and also design for repairability.

Our good corp mouse costs 120$.
The evil corp mouse costs 50$. It has the exact same features, just a lot of cutting corners, but functionality is comparable.

Which mouse will customers buy? Will they recognize quality? More importantly, will they pay for it? Or will they just go for the cheapest and tolerate the annoyances, and buy another one 3 years from now?

I think you know the answer. When the market does not reward quality, quality will not be delivered. There will be no magical moment where developers turn "good", they cant do good, because good is expensive, and nobody buys it.

A second-hand contract isn't necessary black market though.

Black market is when they are sub-letting illegally so you literally can't register your address - and is mainly an issue for people who want very temporary rentals, or very low rents.

But yeah, it is still a disaster.
The problem is too much money came into tech. Even 10 years ago software companies had only a fraction of today's representation among blue chip companies. Once the industry is recognized as a top place to make money then the wrong sort of people start worming their way in slowly but surely undermining whatever integrity came out of the early engineering culture and values that built the foundation.

We basically have two main way of living in apartments. Rent-controlled first-hand contracts, and bought apartments.

Rent-controlled apartments can be sublet legally with almost no markup. Bought apartments can be sublet legally to a market rate [0].

I'm guessing that the guy in the article is in a sublet owned apartment.

Regardless, sub-letting of rent-controlled apartments is very strictly controlled and is essentially "banned". But of course it's quite tricky/expensive to enforce.

(My, in Sweden very unpopular, opinion is that subletting is the last thing that gives young people some kind of chance to mobility. Especially those whose's parents can't buy them an apartment. If all forms of subletting were banned, I would have had no chance to live in Stockholm).
"I have waited for this to happen for years. Still waiting. Instead, alternative browsers based on Gecko turned to WebKit, or vanished."

I have long wondered why Mozilla hasn't worked on a embeddable Gecko engine as an alternative to Electron. The Mozilla alternative could be promoted as a modular, cross-platform component but in a stripped-down, faster and less memory hungry form than Electron (assuming these features can be achieved).

The traction that Electron has gained as a cross-platform option for building apps is huge. It's only set to get bigger (whether for better or worse).

Imagine if Gecko was in this space competing with Electron. Imagine if thousands of developers place their trust in Mozilla because they have built their cross-platform apps using Gecko. They want to see Mozilla grow and succeed - they have a stake in seeing Gecko development continue. As you lament, it is probably too late (or too unrealistic) for this to happen.

As you say, a very long time ago, Mozilla did have the option to embed Gecko into apps. It was never well-documented and what documentation existed was outdated and lacking in any helpful details.

Well then they won't be using the CSAM system that's for sure, they can just scan the images directly, either on iCloud or on device.

The ops team at my work also avoids WD now, and I no longer buy WD SSDs or external drives because of this distrust.

I think there is an ideological difference. I saw in another of your comments that you only want to live in the city center of Stockholm, and that you could pay a high rent for that. This could lead to a city where all the rich live in the city center and all the poor live far out in the suburbs (probably past the subway line), and travel into the city center to work. This is in my opinion not a good society (even for the rich, considering that segregation is expensive for a welfare society). My ideological conviction is that a less segregated city is better, and that both rich and poor should live in the city center. Having both rentals (at different rent levels) and owned apartments mixed is a good way to make this happen. What is your idea of how housing should look like in Stockholm?
Are licenses still limited to Europe ?
The only reason to have the "we need to take them down" attitude would be if they are violating your license or glibc's license.
>I’m not sure what you’re trying to suggest about hypothetical rent control in London

I'm stating that the extreme lack of supply ascribed to rent control also exists in similar cities without rent control.

So maybe rent control's effect on supply is vastly overblown as you can see by looking at the large amount of house-building in NYC before 1974 in the graph above, which is when rent control laws started getting really watered down.

>It should be clear that London was geographically exhausted long ago

Thats kind of absurd. It only recently caught up to prewar population levels. Property prices skyrocketed way before that.

>The truth is that being a rent-controlled landlord is easy mode.

If they like it so much why do they try to trick/bully tenants into leaving or offer large sums of money to tenants to leave if that fails?

>And you’re still ignoring all of the people locked out of the system by the ensuing decade-long wait

Give leveraged landlords market rent in restricted supply environments like SF and the FIRST thing they will try to do is to inhibit further development with NIMBYism that might bring down their rents and damage their investment.

Detractors of rent control tend to feign support for new residents but theyre perfectly happy for them to be priced out alongside the long term residents of the city.

More social housing fixes the underlying supply issue. Higher property taxes fixes the underlying supply issue. Wanting to kill rent control before or instead of fixing these things means being concerned with profit, not people.

Rent control is a band aid while that happens to keep long term (especially elderly/vulnerable) renters housed.

And landlords loathe it.

That's a reasonable misunderstanding since the site is fairly terse.

To be clear, what I mean is that forcing HTTPS-only is something that is required by profit motivated corporations. They see the potential risk of an HTTP downgrade attack as being enough motivation to completely kill HTTP. And unfortunately even Mozilla is going along with it. HTTP has it's place for human persons and human person run sites. It allows free communication without having to exist only on the whim of some CA or your mega-corp browser's decision if your cert is too long, too short, or too something.

I did not mean that the founding of LetsEncrypt was profit motivated. LetsEncrypt is good for what it is. But forcing HTTPS and not allowing HTTP at all is very, very bad for the web. Especially since cert CA usage follows a powerlaw like normal and nearly everyone centralizes in LetsEncrypt.

I.e., they literally allowed their users to post illegal stuff (apparently including CSAM, according to the guy from US Homeland Security they quote?) and keep making money, rather than reporting such cases. The rest is secondary. BBC editors are actually usually good at applying the inverted pyramid principle.

Fixed support for queued trim was part of the marketing claims for the 860 series. Whatever's going on with the 860 and newer drives requires deeper investigation, because there's plenty of reason to believe that simply applying the old workaround is not accurately targeting the real problem.
