At the beginning of the lockdown, as I didn't have a dedicated computer desk and chair, I was working at my dinner table, sitting on a regular dinning chair. It lasted for about 1 month or so until I broke both the chair and my back (I

Do you really need all your private images to be derived directly from the upstream? Don't you start every image with: FROM foo RUN apt-get upgrade etc ? Then why not have a set of base images, derived directly from upstre

Isn't Docker-in-Docker actually using the host's Docker daemon? I am mounting the docker socket in all my Docker-in-Docker containers, thus all the build tasks running on the same host can share the caches. I guess one could have

For the first transaction MS most likely gets a cut, but after that you can resell xbox games (at least the ones sold on physical media). You can't resell ios apps.

Not sure how food delivery works in US, but here in London I can get my food no late than say 45mins after I placed my order (via Deliveroo and afaik JustEat too). And the only time I ordered food in US, I had the pizza about 30mins after I

AWS has budgets that do exactly what you want. For the "cost budget": "Monitor your costs against a specified dollar amount and receive alerts when your user-defined thresholds are met."

It gets even more complicated than that. Not even close to all FB IP was developed in US. There is a great deal of custom integrations built across the world, in smaller offices dedicated to a particular market. Then you have things built i

> how much is a brand worth? Clearly it is worth something. Facebook can do the most inane thing, but if they put their brand on it then it will have some value. Then, Toyota should only pay taxes in Japan? Or Volkswagen?

But really is not, since FB exists in US, UK, Ireland, Israel, France and many other places (see [0]). And not all the value was created in the same place. You could have (and I know examples) a piece of tech being developed in US and not m
