Running a container has exactly the same cost as launching a process. A container IS just a process -- restricted to a certain folder which it sees as the "root" folder, restricted to a particular artificial view of the filesystem as dictated by the container definition, and with limited permissions, and with network interfaces, IP addresses, etc defined by the container definition. Effectively the container is simply an elaborate definition of how to launch a process in a particular way, taking advantage of a number of Linux kernel features that can change the perceived environment seen by the process.
The process launched within a container can even believe it is root, seemingly having all of the privileges of root -- within the restrictions defined by the container.
Now that single process can launch other processes -- but those child processes also see the same environment as the parent process. So in principle, you could have a container that defines a root folder that "looks like" an Ubuntu distribution, and the single process you launch is/sbin/init to start things running.
It's true. If the USPTO cannot read or write, then why should children need to be able to read or write. He is an example of the innovative accomplishment of American will. Even if you are unable to read, write or speak in complete sentences, you can still be the USPTO! It should inspire us all.
Anyone can become USPTO. No qualifications required. Furthermore, America is more welcoming an open that any other nation on Earth today. What other nation is equal opportunity enough to allow mentally ill persons to be elected to the highest office?
Therefore the Childrens needs to be focuseding on the nesscessassarry skils for becoming president. If they master these then they will have the skills for any other job where their carreer path may took them.
Q. Mr. Manager, how can I overcome the limitations of in fright WiFi imposed by pesky nuisance physics?
A. I'm glad you asked. The best way to overcome these problems is to have virtualized WiFi. In the clouds. It gives you virtual internet access without having any actual internet access. At our next management meeting we will discuss this and form a committee to study it further.
You win sir. The problem is that most people can't or won't do the studying necessary to become employable in the 21st century. STEM. Science. Techno-something-or-other. Engineering. Math.
But mostly the math. People who can't pass at least high school algebra, trig and geometry probably can't solve the big programming problems. Probably aren't even good coders. Or suitable for other technical fields. That is, almost anything ending in "***-ology" (except astrology).
The jobs that immigrants want will eventually be automated. Even many white collar jobs will be automated. Except for things truly creative that depend on human creativity. And those might not all be technical jobs. We're probably not going to have machines writing songs or poetry (unless we do it like George Orwell's 1984). Or movies, or videogames. So there is hope for non-tech people who are truly creative. But again, most people aren't either.
The jobs digging ditches, cleaning toilets, sweeping floors, driving, assembling, determine if someone is credit worthy, etc are all going to be automated.
Actually the answer to "could it" is: Yes! Yes, it could.
"Will it" is a different question.
When a manager or market droid asks "could we make our software to X?", my answer sometimes is: "Yes! It could! It's software. We can make it do anything. It's just a question of time and money. How much of each did you want to spend?"
A pirated Windows is not zero cost. Microsoft does everything possible to make it have lots of costs in terms of workarounds and inconvenience. Or it just flat out failing at an inopportune time.
Yes, Linux is zero cost. So it is definitely cheaper than the non-zero cost of pirated Windows. But Linux is also superior. The only reason for Windows is the legacy software.
A significant fraction of people who don't use computers in their job get by with chromebooks. A whole chromebook generation of school children is also growing up.
What programmers may already know how to do, and what managers allow them to spend time doing are two different things.
Don't blame programmers when management is an adequate explanation for the problem. Managers are the cause of most problems in the world. They know this, and so they try to CYA on everything. It is because of their managers. It's managers all the way down, until you get into the infernal nether regions.
And, they have the value hierarchy inverted. The "higher" up the org chart you go, the lower you are actually going down the value hierarchy.
The FCC gives a satellite phone operator a certain frequency range to operate in. Their signals should be within this range even considering Doppler shift.
As the satellite is coming towards your phone, the frequency shifts significantly due to satellite speed. The sat phone handset knows this, fully expects it, and is able to tune to the correct frequency for the satellite coming into view. Any single satellite is only in range for a few minutes. So handoff is constant. Doppler shift is part of design.

Hey. Wait a sec. I never thought of that. I think you are right!
Yes!!! I hope Blackberry wins big!
If these three could be shut down, it would improve the intartubes greatly and all over the globe.
How did Twitter get left out of this lawsuit?
Please, oh please, file an amended complaint!
As I mention elsewhere, today is the 15th anniversary of SCO vs IBM.
> Blackberry, 2018's SCO! If you can't innovate, litigate!
Speaking of SCO . . .
TODAY is the 15th anniversary of the SCO vs IBM lawsuit.
So this farce is now entering it's sixteenth year.
A little bird told me. It was an angry one.

> handy features in an environment where PCs can't be left unlocked to preserve privacy.
Why would you leave a PC unlocked in order to preserve privacy? It seems like you would want to lock the PC to preserve privacy.
I suppose it is how you parse:
(PCs can't be left unlocked) to (preserve privacy).
PCs can't (be left unlocked to preserve privacy).

Let's ask a manager. They know everything.

Someday you might be able to get internet satellite service. Would in fright WiFi matter at that point?
I have not bought a lottery ticket. But please do not speculate about my future chances of winning this lottery.
Pushing many people into the job of electrician is a very good idea.
Either they succeed, great!
Or Darwin Award.
> Who do you think employers would prefer? The retrained old fart or the 20-something new grad?
Rephrased: the retrained person with a work ethic and diligence to study and retrain, or the lazy millennial?
If we would start making iPhones that are repairable / serviceable, we would employ more people, not to mention saving the earth's resources.
> these people are being left to collect welfare and die of malnutrition-related diseases.
If they are young and healthy, and I'm just sayin', but they could become sex workers. As a reference, see: all of human history.
> So people are just too stupid to do the work
Probably. But not necessarily. Other causes exist. It could be due to being lazy. Or being a millennial.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner!

Do not blame the QA process or pre-delivery damage. It is simply that the vehicles are "flight proven" vehicles.

Wrong question.
How many simultaneous pr0n streams can it sustain?
Wait until another country goes after Twitter. I don't want to see this escalate to a nuclear war.
Your suggestion regarding waffles would probably cause irritation compared to pancakes which are smoother than waffles. Be careful. Just sayin'

Sat phone companies, such as Iridium must do this. So why do you consider that it is an insurmountable problem for SpaceX?
