No, actually UID=0 in the container is the same root as the host. By default there is no user mapping.

I have studied the Cold War and SDI ("Star Wars".) Russian and US leaders thought that MAD was idiotic - that defending your country against your adversaries was of the highest imp…

> old systems can't cope Actually "old systems" aren't the bottleneck. It's limited gates and radio frequency time. And those will be less of a problem after 1/3 of aircraft turn i…

For those unfamiliar, Sully never flew again after the ditching because of "sleep disturbances." His co-pilot did continue flying airlines. Some pilots were able to successfully do…

I have worked at Netflix. The history is that mainly they used well-known CDNs for streaming, followed by their OpenConnect CDN network now. AWS has always been used for metadata. …

Actually the pilot anecdote is nonsense. Emergency procedures are part of the procedures you're supposed to be able to execute, typically in a simulator. A stronger anecdote would …

This is a nice article, but note that bash4 has a debugger built-in. Recent linux distros or those upgraded because of CVEs will have it.

> It's time for the Feds to insist that Boeing return to developing aircraft in an adversarial manner, Generally speaking, the government cannot maintain a staff of aerospace engin…

What's with the "embedded antennas" references? Microstrips have been used in planes for decades.

Again, this is nonsense since the F-35 will never be flown at low altitudes for CAS since the Air Force won't risk their fighter pilots. Also, aerial refueling can only be done awa…

> NoSQL products like DynamoDB, Cassandra, Redis, MongoDB As a DBA ... Cassandra is despised. And I would say Postgres is growing a lot faster than MongoDB. Redis caching and zsets…

The above comment is remarkably uninformed, though par for the course on HN. Loiter time is extremely important for ground support. Otherwise the enemy just waits for the F-35 to f…

First of all, you're an outlier. Most people don't want a box on their head, especially for any length of time. Second of all, I don't know of any GA or airline simulators that use…

What you're describing is irony. Regulatory capture is when a company gains control of their regulator through bribery or promise of jobs. For example, if you look at Wall Street's…

Pilots are generally only paid for actual flight time. At scheduled airlines, dispatchers do most of the pre-flight prep.

You can use almost any TLD for personal projects, though a few have support issues and should be avoided, like .vg. For business use, some domains are poorly managed, like .io, and…

As a student of WW2, there's no indication that Ike was not serious about what he said in that quote. In fact, he was offered and declined a presidential ticket immed. after WW2 to…
