whilst the entirety of China, which is much much much wider, is in a single time zone. But kids in the west of China don't get up same time as kids in the east... similar to the rest of the business.
We have clean diesel technology since 30 or even 40 years. But the vendors don't want to shift. It is called "water injection"... you inject water into the burning chamber and reduce fuel usage by 50% and emissions (obviously except CO2 and some NOx) by 95%. We have some ships on the river Rhine doing it since ages, but as fuel is to cheap to bother, there is no pressure on the vendors to change. It would even work in a small car.
Actually a flight from Germany to Thailand e.g. (or Australia) with a stop in Dubai or Oman is only roughly 2h longer, sometimes 3h. And it is actually a welcome stop to eat "real food" and drink a real drink. Well, if you accept the costs in the airports.
If you have a cloud, you probably want to spin down "VMs" that you don't need at the moment. And spin up some handling a single or a few dozen requests and spin them down again.
That is 100 times faster with containers than with VMs. And you can shift your load over the real hardware much more efficient.
If you're running dozens or hundreds of web servers or something like that, it's probably a good solution. It is not the question of "services", it is a question of requests. If you are in an elastic cloud, that gets slashdotted, and you really want to avoid losing requests, you simply spin up more and more containers.
And unlike most people her wrote above: usually you combine VMs with containers. On the real hardware you have 10 VMs and inside of the VMs 100 or more containers.
It makes it much more handy to work on a project that is developed while two or more older versions are out in the field and needs to be maintained.
It makes it also easier to simply try something out, especially if you have a repository in your organization with typical configurations. So getting an image is a few clicks or an ansible or kubernetes command.
I've also never seen anyone happy with their container deployment... And I have never seen anyone unhappy.
Perhaps your organizations have not the maturity level to work with containers or VMs?
You are not allowed to discriminate. The only reason to point one to the door is crime like theft, unpleasant behaviour, lack of hygiene etc.
And it is actually illegal anyway to sell stuff below cost, unless it is a special promotion, like end off stocks or end of season sales or business closing.
It is not a crime to enter shops only to buy stuff on promotion, hence no reason to expel a customer.
What is next? I enter the store because it is freezing cold outside and I left my cloak at home? Walk around half an hur and because I buy nothing they try to ban me?
Why would the EU prohibit banning customers who financially harm you? Stupid question. The customers don't harm you. You make an offer, they take it. That is a contract. If you make a loss then for funk sake adjust the price.
Changes Requested by Passenger 3.3 3.3.3. If you have chosen a tariff that requires observance of a fixed ticket sequence, please note: if carriage is not used on all individual legs or not used in the sequence specified on the ticket with otherwise unchanged travel data, we will recalculate the airfare according to your altered routing. The airfare will thereby be determined in accordance with the fare you would have had to pay for your actual routing in your price group on the day of your booking. This fare may be higher or lower than the fare you originally paid. If the price group you originally booked was not available for the altered routing on the day of the booking, the cheapest available former price group for your altered routing will be taken as the basis for the recalculation.
However such texts are not displayed or asked to agree to with a check box or similar, so I guess most of them are not enforceable.
When he bought his ticket he agreed that he would board every flight at the scheduled time or else pay a cancellation service charge. Erm, no? Why do you think he agreed on anything? Did you ask him how he bought his "ticket"?
they concluded that you were a net loss on their bottom line and you were politely told to leave the store and never return. Would be illegal in europe...
He had a contract with the airline, he was obligated to travel to his final ticketed destination as part of that contract. So he broke his contract. Now the airline is taking him to court for breaching it. No, he had no contract. There is no TOS or anything he agreed, too.
He agreed not to do hidden cities in the contract of carriage.
No he did not. How the funk should he even know about "hidden cities"?
There is no "contract". You sign into a web site, chose flight, pay, get a PDF, print the PDF and that is your ticket. Or you only need your passport... there no where any mentioning of anything resulting in a contract, TOS or anything equivalent. Perhaps you should fly once, then you knew that.
My last 10 flights I had "no ticket", I showed my passport to the airline and got a boarding pass, thats it.
Well, technically you are correct. However, they took fuel for the passenger(s) who did not fly. So they carry fuel around they don't need, and waste fuel doing so. But obviously that waste is less than what they save by not having the passenger.
If the government finds out you left the flight and there's an accident, you immediately become a target of suspicion. Yeah, it would suck to be still alive...
it's their external power and influence that is at the heart of the matter. They have ICBMs and nuclear submarines that can bomb the US since the mid 1950s.
Would it matter if China steals all the IP from your corporations and then starts sinking your economy by churning out replicas of similar or higher quality at the same time your country does? No it would not.
That's the goal of the China 2025 initiative: to make everything in China by 2025 and become a major exporter or goods. Obviously. And that was the goal of the US around 1950, and failed.
The only people worried about a DoS attack from China are those who don't understand their goals. Yes, so... what are you trying to do to understand them?
Unlike the USA, China is not striving for world domination but for developing its own country. That is actually a "double unlike".
Anyway, such jobs I would do remote, so it rules me out, as I don't plan to live in a mayour US city. Country side would probably be ok. But honestly I'm to old to do this green card shit and follow all the regulations, I would not even work for Apple or something like that. Oki, Space X... that I probably could not resist.

They are roughly the same lattitude (41.4 vs 43, respectively), and they are in the same time zone.
No they are not.
Greece is plus one, or even plus two, to lazy to look it up for you.
Perhaps you want to read at least the summary.
East to west sunset difference is 2 - 3 hours. Not 30 minutes. And DST has nothing to do with it.

There are plenty of other systems.

Then use a dependency manager ... there are plenty.
You don't need to use maven if you prefer to have build and dependencies separated ... take ivy and gradle, problem solved.
If you can not handle dependencies, you should not be in the software business.
Many programmers push for containers.

Because it is a store.
You offer wares to all (potential) customers.
You are not allowed to discriminate. The only reason to point one to the door is crime like theft, unpleasant behaviour, lack of hygiene etc.
And it is actually illegal anyway to sell stuff below cost, unless it is a special promotion, like end off stocks or end of season sales or business closing.

they concluded that you were a net loss on their bottom line and you were politely told to leave the store and never return. ...

This would only be "valid" if you actually have a physical ticket and the text is printed on that ticket or on the backside.
When I buy a ticket via an online booking service, which is not the airline itself, I never see such a message or text, hence I never agreed on it.
He had a contract with the airline, he was obligated to travel to his final ticketed destination as part of that contract. So he broke his contract. Now the airline is taking him to court for breaching it.

Flight tickets don't have "terms of service".
You are either on the plane, or you are not.

In Germany you do not need a court to fight a ticket.
You file a complaint. And thats it.
You are an idiot.

Yes, so
Unlike the USA, China is not striving for world domination but for developing its own country. That is actually a "double unlike".
And where would those "more tickets" come from? It does not make any sense ...
Everyone that recognizes it would increase the power and influence of China's dictatorship.
And who the fuck cares about the chinese internal affairs?
It does not matter if China steals my data from the NSA or gets it via a backdoor ...
What matters would be a denial of service attack ... so: make sure you have many vendors, and a redundant network.
All phone calls are monitored and recored by NSA and others anyway in Europe.
Who the fuck cares if a chinese company inserts another back door?
Perhaps I can masquerade as one :D
