That's the idea. Quakers will never take up arms. In both world wars they would actively help in peaceful ways (helping widows, sending care packages to POWs, etc), but their actions remain peaceful. >Early Quakers were among the

Even better, you can run these in Docker as non-root. Security wise, while this wouldn't make your app itself more secure, it would insulate your host OS from getting infected. I just checked and they even have one-liner Docker c

Can you provide some evidence or reading on this? I understand A/B typically measures _conversions_, but couldn't you have quantifiable proxies for usability? For example, things like form abandonment and time-to-complete a task.
