Exactly. She would be the stupid one. She might still be, if kids are worth more than money and the things money buys, but at least she gets something to compensate her for the suffering.
Suppose we raise it to $60 an hour. Better? Would you still have a job?
OK, that's too much. Well, how many lost jobs are acceptable? Can you give a number? If we raise the minimum wage to $12 an hour and lay off 15% of the workforce, is that good?
More money is great as long as YOU don't lose your job. Everybody, even those already on minimum wage, thinks it'll be the other guy who loses his job or that some rich guy won't be so rich. Sure, and pigs fly really well.
To pay the cleaning people their new minimum wage, we can get rid of one web developer. The other guys can work overtime to make up the loss. Then again, maybe it's just time for the company to go bankrupt and get rid of EVERYBODY.
It goes the other way too. A smelly drunk isn't likely to get hired at $5.15 an hour, but his value might be above zero. He deserves a chance to work. The same goes for the fat girl with acne that makes people feel ill, the guy who stares inappropriately, the lady who has conversations with her knuckles... They all deserve a chance to work.
It's no different from them randomly not being born, unless you have reason to believe that genes for "great talent" or "potential" are significantly associated with traits that will cause someone to not make the cut.
It's rather clear that the opposite is true, unless you have an inverted idea of "great talent" or "potential".
That's 2 or 3 surviving children, on average, where "surviving" really just means that they go onto reproduce and thus have families included in the average. Castration and death are equivalent.
So how is this:
At age 3, we execute the kids that can't walk and talk. At age 7, we execute the kids that can't read and do basic math. At age 11, we execute the kids who can't do algebra, geometry, 10 sit-ups, 2 pull-ups, 3 push-ups, a quarter-mile run, enough vision for safe driving, and able to carry out a phone conversation. At age 13, we execute the kids who are unable to do basic statistics, basic economics, reasonable analysis of common contracts (credit card agreement, DSL agreement, home lease, car loan...), or any of the age 11 requirements. Also, at any time prior to having children, we execute people for diabetes, blindness, significant asthma, etc.
Like that? It certainly pushes evolution in a nice direction. It changes out fitness evaluation function to once again strongly disfavor the sick and feebleminded, rather than favoring the welfare mom.
Have you seen how Californians vote? Wyoming citizens are worth a lot more. (it's really closer to being 100-to-1, but Wyoming citizens are also generous and kind)
Ow! I get it now. This is the punishment jacket. You have to wear it if you go too fast. It keeps the race close, because nobody can stand to wear wool.
There are many buyers for undisclosed holes. Probably you'd be amazed at the pay. I don't think security@kernel.org will pay very much. Anyway...
If you need to patch many VMWare images in parallel, you just do it. People manage server farms all the time, certainly not involving login on any of them. (You think Google has some dude doing that? Server 765430, server 765431, server 765432, done! Whew! Time to start the next update!) Really, there are tools for this.
You can increase the RAM on a physical machine while Linux is running. I'm serious. (proper motherboard required, obviously) So there really isn't any reason why VMWare couldn't let this happen. Trying to decrease memory is more difficult, but that's rarely a desired operation anyway. Linux can sometimes do it.
The same goes with disk, except that you don't need VMWare to support it if you use iSCSI or NBD. I've done it on physical hardware. If VMWare doesn't already support this, the fix is easy.
That's life for most of us. It's usually not too bad.
The cure is worse than the disease. It gives us severely lazy and incompetent workers. The country becomes uncompetitive, sometimes (as in the case of factory workers) causing the companies to fail and sometimes (as with teachers) causing far greater harm. If somehow the world were unionized, we'll all suffer the economic damage.
The proper fix is to break up monopolies. This gives workers the ability to change to a different employer. If there is only one or two potential employers, abuse can become the norm. If there are hundreds of suitable employers, the workers have choice.
For development isolation, multiple kernels is a requirement. I need to run Fedora Core 6 test 1, RHEL 4, Gentoo's latest, SuSE 9, SuSE 10.1, Slackware 10...
Often, it goes beyond that. Multiple OSes may be a requirement. You don't do Windows XP or OpenBSD.
As far as I can tell, the HSP/VSP stuff is the only real use of containers. That is very obscure. It's not nice to severely hack up the kernel for something so obscure.
BTW, you are wrong about VMWare. It lets you migrate live images. (not the free version)
As for security: yes I do have experience. I can't talk about it in detail. The general idea though: you have a lot of complexity, you're trying to plug every last hole including information leaks... not going to happen. By it's nature, VMWare is more secure. The main vulnerabilities are the serious risk of compromise via the interface used by vmtools (example: buffer overflow in the cut-and-paste support) and the normal problem of info leaks on shared hardware. Containers are far worse. You have the whole damn kernel to secure, in a way that is not normally required. We've had enough trouble keeping root secure from users, never mind from other "root" users.
The US car industry has some obvious problems with messed-up priorities.
They put nearly all of the money into marketing, gimmics, decorations, and other such nonsense fluff. They cut corners on engineering.
To an extent, it works. Many US car buyers are dumb. Many are over-loyal, buying US no matter what the quality. We have no Autobahn to expose the unstable suspensions. There are enough idiots on the road that it is somewhat legit to prefer armor over decent handling.
Detroit want to sell image, not cars.
Winning the demanding buyers is MUCH harder than winning the idiot buyers.
I swear, labor unions practically define corruption. (Why does a teacher's union take ANY stand on abortion? How is it that they will not admit that some of the old geezers need to be fired? Why must pay be based solely on seniority? What have the union leaders been doing with the pension fund? What is that connection with the mob?)
There are better ways, not involving corrupt unions.
The obvious pro-market fix would be to make business taxes proportional to market share.
The pro-democracy fix is to place special restrictions on businesses that deliver information, because these businesses have an unusual ability to control the political process.
No, sorry, same answer does NOT apply to containers.
Ordinary users of all types definitely get real benefits from multitasking.
Ordinary business users, and to a lesser extent home users (because of malware and accidents), benefit from access controls and resource limits.
Containers are rarely of use and never important. If I'm isolating something for development, I'll at least use VMWare. That lets me do multiple kernel versions. For serious testing, I'll just buy extra hardware. If it is security I want and I don't trust myself to configure SE Linux right, the same applies: VMWare or hardware. You're going to have massive security holes if you think you can have multiple root users running around.
For all this pain, for all the bugs and performance loss caused to MILLIONS of ordinary machines, regular users get NOTHING.
I get that you are trying to sell something. Well, that's fine and quite understandable, but please don't fuck up my kernel to do it.
Actually, tea escapes anyway because the caffeine isn't added. If you can find a heavenly plant that grows fruit containing Mountain Dew as the juice, you'll have solved the problem. I don't know if genetic engineering counts.
There is a mall attached to the convention center. Go to the food court. Proceed to the Japanese place. Eat.
Warning: do not forget to smuggle real Mountain Dew into the country. Canada banned caffeine in drinks that are not brown, and Pepsi chose color over content.
You coded up some crapplet in Office BASIC. As a result, the user interface does not scale to different screen resolutions. Your solution to the problem is actually the cause of your problem.
Using a proper GUI toolkit, building an app that fails to scale is probably more difficult than building one that scales perfectly. All the example apps scale perfectly. Most of the documentation assumes that you want your app to scale perfectly. As a bonus, you get a programming language that isn't a joke.
Proper toolkits: GTK, Qt, most of the Java stuff, probably FLTK and wxWindows...
That would be THEIR concern about US. After all, that's exactly what we did.
Well, you might be right. The environment has changed. The primary test of evolutionary fitness is now your ability to overcome birth control. You can do this via love of kids, religeous passion (Muslim or Catholic), or sheer stupidity. If the Neanderthals are even dumber than today's welfare moms, then they are more fit to survive.

Exactly. She would be the stupid one. She might still be, if kids are worth more than money and the things money buys, but at least she gets something to compensate her for the suffering.
We call these places "schools".
When you are doing useless work and you require expensive supplies/facilities/management, your value is negative. So you get charged for working.
