My bad, of course, not sure why the defamation trial was still in my head.
SBF engaged in things like securities fraud as well, which is harder to spin into a civil thing I guess.
My bet on why they decided to go the civil route is that Trump has the money to make things right (if he will that’s another thing), and SBF has nothing.
So they’ve just decided to go the “better for everybody” route, since, well, it’s better for everybody.
Oh yeah, we’re talking about the New York Trump corp trial :)
In that case, here’s a nice explanation why a criminal trial wouldn’t make sense and why a civil one is much better for everyone
Your comment proves you don’t understand what’s happening. At all.
Trump defamed someone. That’s a civil issue. He was put on trial. On a civil trial. Because it’s a civil issue. He lost. He got fined. Not sent to jail. Because it’s a civil trial.
Poor chap, imagine training your whole life just to be shot down by a friendly.
Nice shot though.
A bunch of text, all of it unrelated to the question.
Trump lost a civil trial, SBF lost a criminal trial.
You can’t be sent to jail for breaking civil laws.
Your bones are broken then, because that’s just straight up not how it works.
Trump was fined because it was a civil trial that he lost. In this instance. His criminal trials are ongoing.
SBF is getting locked up because it was a criminal trial that he lost.
Words evolve, and sometimes, they gain new meanings. “Bare metal” is not a scientific terms, and so it can be bent depending on the context.
You can either accept that or not, it doesn’t change the fact that that’s what it now can mean.
It’s just what it means in this specific context.
They’re not running directly on the host, with directly meaning directly.
If you go by definition, I agree with you, but the definition is not always the thing to go off of.
Have you read my comment? It’s about where the packages and services are installed.
In this case, they’re installed in the container, not on the host
Not in this context. Bare metal means all packages and services installed and running directly on the host, not through docker/lxc/vms
Earth doesn’t have any bills though, dues to the United Federation of Planets are set to start in 2161 at the earliest
it’s satire
Yeah, but people don’t like change, and I’d expect low level engineers to like it even less.
And looking at Linux, that shit still supports ancient hardware, being able to actually get rid of old code (that now has to be maintained alongside the new code) is gonna be a PITA.
I’m just guessing, but what about backwards compatibility? Or cross-system compatibility?
For example, something like a syscall that’s existed for 20 years. Changing it would break old apps.
Of course you could just keep the now “old” syscall and add new methods that replicate it’s behavior, but haven’t you then introduced bloat? More ways to do the same thing, meaning (eventually) more bugs, more fragmentation, memory usage, etc.
In that case I’m sure they’re enjoying their 60 cents per month
You could actually run an actual legit miner on the thing, but yeah, you’re not getting ahead your electricity usage.
It’s unfortunately not as simple as that, the government has to be really careful upsetting essential companies like defense contractors, as the military just straight up needs them (for new projects but also spare parts, fixes,…).
It’s not a good relationship.
Edit: I definitely don’t disagree with you though, stuff like this just shouldn’t happen.
Of course it’s a choice, it’s a settlement. They could’ve refused and gone to court, where they probably would’ve ended up paying a lot more in fines (and legal fees)
Going by that logic, hasn’t Trump defrauded big banks rich people have huge amounts of assets in?
