  • I regularly see Facebook posts with literal calls for murder, that, after lengthy “reviews”, are found to be “not against the community standards”. Things like “we should really kill all the towelheads, they have no place in America”…

    Meanwhile, a few weeks back I had to fight a 30 day suspension for a comment that said “[insert name here] no, Hitler was wrong, his rhetoric was hateful, and the very first targets of the Nazi party were the socialists and workers unions. Look up the Night of Long Knives.”, because apparently stating historical facts, not calls to violence, IS against the community standards.



  • A docker container’s IP usage heavily (entirely) depends on how the container’s networking is defined by the host machine. And in an overwhelming amount of cases, that host networking will be a “here’s a device-local subnet your containers can join to”, so no, a Docker container won’t by default “get it’s own IP address” (colloquially, “its own IP address” would refer to a device getting a LAN-local address assigned to it from the local gateway/DHCP server), at least not one other devices on the network can access.

    Also claiming that “nothing else will use port 80” is a gross over-simplification.

    The move to port 80/443 on HAOS makes sense as it simplifies setup for total beginners.


  • You know wrong.

    Even in the early days (97-01), they’ve used venture funding (approx $80mil) for the DVD mailing business.

    And the reason they didn’t really go the VC funding way later is because they had an IPO in 2002, which meant instead of relying on VC funds, they took on massive amounts of debt to allow the takeoff of streaming.




  • No, that’s the evolution of venture capitalism.

    Step 1: groundbreaking service comes in that fills a market hole

    Step 2: people flock to service

    Step 3: service gets VC funding to continue operations, subsidising the users

    Step 4: service gets “copied”, competitors crop up, use VC funding to eke out their own marketshare while making things worse for everyone but themselves

    Step 5: expansion plateaus as interest in service generalises (basically, everyone who could be interested, is already using it)

    Step 6: VC funding depletes, company has to start making a profit - leading to price hikes, which is followed by other players in the market as that’s how capitalism works

    Step 7: price hikes not being enough, service tries to capitalise on their userbase (think restricting features to a higher paid tier, introducing new tiers that strip away features, introducing ads, etc.)

    Step 8: market is saturated with plateaud services, user movement is minimal, and everybody hates it because it’s expensive, and reintroduced the same problem the initial innovative service meant to fix.
