So Docker supports live restore https://docs.docker.com/config/containers/live-restore/ which addresses the first point. Second point, yep if you run Docker as root and someone can access the socket file they

Technically the parent process for a contained process with Docker is containerd-shim. Also, Docker does support live restore if you want to keep containers running over daemon restarts https://docs.docker.com/config/co

Goods still need to flow in a pandemic. The UK still needs to trade. It's those flows that are possibly worst hit. Adding to problems that would've been present with just covid. Also attempts to find alternate markets can be hampe

There is indeed, which is why it was so surprising that the UK gov. turned down the offer to extend the transition period, which could have stopped these two economic events overlapping.

There's been quite a few ferry routes starting between Ireland and France. The paperwork/delays on the landbridge mean it's more economical to do it this way. There appears to be quite a significant disruption to trade at the

I'd agree, although if https://www.highshortinterest.com/all/ is accurate, there's 69M shares of GME short sold at the moment, which is quite a lot of money potentially to be made by people holding the shares

So from what I read, the shorts were (at least at one point) at 140% of the available float. If that's true (AFAIK) that means at least some were naked.

Whilst most of Wall street may like this, I'd guess there's at least some parts (the hedge funds with large short positions in GME) who aren't having a good time today.

But what they're trying to achieve here (AFAIK) is a short squeeze. The whole point of this move is that there's massive short interest in GME, and the WSB crew (and anyone else long on it) can take advantage of it until those pos

Whilst I'm not sure that there is strong evidence for this being related to the IBM acquisition, the idea of "blue wash" where acquired products have their licensing changed to fit in with IBM's way of doing things is so

TikTok is good for that although to FYP (For You Page) algorithm seems a bit opaque. This has led to a load of interesting communities springing up like the Sea Shanties one and quite a few musical communities doing collaborations.

yeah but the challenge that's being referred to (I think) is that having an unauditable supply chain on a security distribution is, in itself a security risk. You've got to imagine that Kali linux is a very tempting target for sup

The point I was responding to was saying that they wanted to get away from USD and that this was BTC's killer app. My point is that you can't "get away" from USD, while the BTC market is effectively tied to USD. so if th

That only works when people take payment in BTC without translating the value provided back to a Fiat currency. Until that time, expansion of the USD (or other Fiat) supply impacts the "value" that BTC has.

Challenge there is that it doesn't fit the narrative that Tether give about the demand being from "institutional investors". That kind of customer tends (IMO) to be very risk averse. Of course it is possible that Tether are g

Yep, AFAIK Tether is used by several exchanges that have problems getting direct banking relationships, as a on-ramp for funds. Tether originally promised that they were 1-2-1 backed with actual currency reserves, but had to abandon that st
