I don't know much containerization outside of docker, but you can definitely apt-get some dependencies even inside docker containers.


Inside a docker container, you are root, so you can apt-get.


"they could afford to jettison those contracts"

Don't they have to have a contract with the state to have access to the cables? IE: any ISP would have a state contract. If it ceased those contracts, it wouldn't be able to function as an ISP.


No, those contracts are with cities and counties; the owners of the land that telephone poles sit on.


"port 443 is serving up a response when jaruzel.com is requested on that port"

The only response is a 404, which is exactly what should be displayed (to the best of my knowledge) for a domain that isn't configured for that IP/port when there are other sites utilizing that IP/port.


Oh dear, this hasn't gone very well has it. I'll have another look when I'm home, I thought I was closer to the mark. Thank you for the response.


Isn't it supposed to learn from you? IE, answering technically correctly but what it thinks is incorrect is slightly annoying for you, but better for the system in the long run. (ie better for everyone)


Everyone? Or Google? I don't feel particularly happy about being used as a lab rat, so no, thank you - I don't care about the quality of Google's AI. If anything, I would purposefully mislead it if I knew how.


Don't you think that's how a lot of training data can be generated efficient for future ML/AI breakthroughs?


So we will get even more "targeted ads" in our faces? No, thanks. I think ML/AI has a great potential (especially in medicine), but I just don't trust ad companies to use it for any good cause.


Has Google published this training set somewhere? Until they do, you're absolutely right that this is a great way to build a training set, but I don't see how it's to anyone's benefit but Google's.


Who said it was Free Software?


I think that's pretty heavily reliant on the rest of the industry. If it's an industry that no one feels very strongly about, there's probably something to be said for hanging out in the middle: some scummy shit, but no nickle and diming. If it's something significant where every company is hated already, a new company coming in with nothing more than "we want nothing more than to provide a good service" is likely going to thrive.


That assumes the customer is the one who chooses. With most Americans getting insurance through their employers, they don't have the option to choose a less crappy insurer even if they trusted the claims of better service.


Can you be compelled to provide something that you don't have access to? Were anyone else in this situation, wouldn't it be plausible to simply claim you don't know that password?


I've wondered about scenarios where you can legitimately claim to not know the password to decrypt a drive. A few different cases I can think of which may be ruled differently by a court.

1) I use a password manager so I don't know the password. However, I have the means to acquire the password.

2) I use a password manager but somehow lost access to it unintentionally.

3) I use a password manager and lost access to it by design. (eg. Using a dead man's switch of some kind that deletes it if I don't "check in" for some period of time)

4) I used to know the password. However, I suffered a traumatic brain injury and cannot recall it.

I obviously don't have the answers but I think these are interesting to think about as different points in a large legal grey area.


one i've ben thinking of is a shuffled keymapping or keyboard - you know what password you type, but not what it actually translates into.


Not bad, but that key-map would have to be accessible unencrypted from the encrypted device no? Unless somehow hard-mod a physical keyboard or something?


There is ample precedent for forgetfulness in the courts. Imagine a scenario where you are called as a witness in a case against someone else and you say that you can't remember what you saw. If there is evidence to support the idea that you are lying (say, you're being asked an easy question about something that happened yesterday) you can be held in contempt.

If there is reason to believe that you are telling the truth (say, you're being asked which of two parking spaces you saw a car in 10 years ago) then you're fine.

Same thing goes here. Rational disinterested people (a judge or a jury) will look at the available evidence and make their best judgement about whether you are telling the truth when you say you can't remember.


How the hell would they get accurate crime stats from 1200? A year so long ago that I feel the need to suffix it with "AD".


Homicides are easy to document, and those are the stats used in the graphs. It's other crimes that are difficult to compare.

Find an old source saying "Blimey, we hath hadd 200 of thee black cryme of murder thys annus!" and cross-reference it against recorded population at the time, and there's your homicide rate.


Docker is just a container, anything you can boot you can put in a container. That doesn't make what he did "basically a docker image".


> Many of the cases where I care about perf are cases in which the app is multithread savvy

Yeah, as would be expected from most people on this site. Sad thing is, there's a bunch of pissed-off gamers right now who were on the hype train expecting Ryzen to be the next big thing in gaming, but it's far from it. Ryzen is great, just not amazing for gaming.
