What is the problem? A configuration error? Then it's a non-story, badly configured docker environments are a dime a dozen. A docker bug? Then say so, so we can patch our docker environments. A fundamental flaw in the docker environment that breaks the whole docker-concept for good? NOW you'd have a story!
It can be done, but it's far from easy. Docker has SO many attack surfaces that securing them is probably expensive enough that any money you save by lowering your hardware cost is nullified by the amount of money you need to secure it.
And knowing their love for bureaucracy, I'm fairly sure that the bomb deliveries will be carried out, although with a "attention, might explode" sticker attached. As long as there's a sticker attached, it's allright.
This is Germany we're talking about. The solution is probably that all parcels containing bombs have to clearly be labeled as such so no future incidents can happen anymore.
Next week the opposition parties will probably lament why the ruling parties didn't have that idea earlier.
I guess their train of thought is that if he's too stupid to build bombs that actually work, he's probably also too stupid to even know what a MAC address is.
Not all "cyber" criminals are computer wizards and strategic masterminds. Just like very few bank robbers are Ocean's Eleven.
Probably because I'm not the only one who is getting pissed off at the nibulous "teh evilz elites ruin me" argument whenever someone can't get his act together and need someone to put the blame on.
Unfortunately due to copyright protection issues we need you to verify that this is a genuine display device, I'm sure you understand that we need a few personal details...
I do believe them that they actually rationalize this for themselves that way, that it's not just for show and that deep inside they really, really love to see those fired suffer.
People don't want to be "evil". They want to tell themselves at least that they're good people and whenever they have to do something bad, it's done because there was no alternative.
A very good example of this. Any answer that starts with "this is a great question" is usually the only part of the answer that's honest. It is a great question, and an uncomfortable at that, because it puts the finger exactly on what we do not want to answer.
This is the beauty of corporations. There's no personal responsibility. It's always someone else to blame.
As a group leader you get ordered to let one of your employees go. It's tough, but you don't have a choice, your department head decided that one of your employees has to be axed and you do it, justifying it thusly that you don't really have a choice.
The department head has to cut his expenses by 10%, so he tries to split the burden, knowing that if he doesn't make his group leaders fire one or two of their personnel, there's a pretty good chance that corporate decides the department is not profitable and they get closed down altogether. The justification is that it's either a few that get fired or the whole department, resulting in many, many more layoffs.
This goes on upwards the corporate ladder until you're at the C-Level. The CEO doesn't enjoy firing people, but he knows that the stock of the company has to perform well or investment bankers would instantly drop them like they're poisoned. He has a responsibility towards the shareholders, and a failing stock could mean that even more people lose their job. That's his justification for firing the aforementioned 10%.
The investment banker isn't to blame either. He was entrusted with money from people, potentially hard working people who want to retire at some point in the future, his justification for buying and selling stocks is simply that his responsibility is to those that trusted him with their money, their hopes, wishes and dreams.
Which leads back to the person who just got fired and his pension fund...
So if you want to find the greedy asshole that just cost you your job, you might not have to look far.
Within a few years that job will be largely automated, because AI can easily tell people what to do, organize and manage, and cut the red tape too, leaving only the part that actually does requires intelligence for humans to do.
There's more than just burger flippers that could be eliminated. Middle management is mostly a flow heater that can basically be eliminated with increased automation, especially with AI. Most middle managers already could be replaced by a very small script. Investment bankers are another group that is easy to axe with improving AI, because computers can far more reliably, far faster and far more hours predict how the markets are going to develop. We'll also see a lot of application developers leave, RAD tools already made a lot of surface designers pretty much obsolete and the improvements in AI will see the demise of dedicated application programmers, instead, people with skills in the relevant field the application should cover will be capable of producing their own software, from medicine to accounting.
As for the need of the population needs controlling, I agree. I recommend you start with yourself, judging from what you write the world would indeed improve considerably if we had less of you.

So if enough people chime in it gets true?
Didn't know reality now follows the rules of democracy. So if I find enough people to accuse you of something you're guilty?
As an investor, my question is which one pays the best dividend.
That is, by the way, also what the market asks. And the company that does will stay in business because, guess what, diversity doesn't pay bills.
I'm dead serious. Who gives a fuck?
Only one more year to move over to Linux. I guess I need that kind of motivation, after all...

WTF is it?

Sorry to tell you, but it's far from being just some hipster platform. That technology is in production in some rather security critical environments.
No, I'm not any more happy about it than you are.
At its core, a tar file and instructions how to run it. :)

Well... it's Germany ... so probably they actually DO have forms and paperwork that identifies that MAC address...

This is what dictatorships are built upon.
Works for the ship and planes, but what about all the human cargo? It's not easy feeding that many refugees.
Take a wild guess where that difference comes from.
You. When you first "activate" your TV, which you have to do for it to work. For ... umm.... security reasons. Yeah, so it can't get stolen.
If you want to use the 200USD smart part, buy an external device for less than 200 USD.
Question for 200: What do you think is the reason that the external device goes for less than 200? Well?

What exactly is "the elites"?

Managers simply tell engineers to do a job.
Within a few years that job will be largely automated, because AI can easily tell people what to do, organize and manage, and cut the red tape too, leaving only the part that actually does requires intelligence for humans to do.
FTFY.

Give it time. A few more rounds of automation and the average minimum wage person will be able to do the job.
