If you know anything about LA geography you realize this is a laughable "solution".

That's what this is. OCI v1.0 is pretty much "what Docker does".
As opposed to the old-school method of having to describe all that in words to an ops team (or not and just expecting them to figure it out): "This is a Java app. It needs JDK 1.6 and at least 1GB of RAM. It expects to write logs at /var/log/foo.log. It needs a MySQL database and Redis and Elasticsearch at configured hostnames and ports. We need to run at least 6 instances horizontally scaled behind a load balancer."
Especially considering that sync.Map just uses a mutex under the hood: https://github.com/golang/go/blob/master/src/sync/map.go#L19
edit: although reading the comments, apparently there are conditions where the mutex does not always need to be held. This would be an improvement over sync.RWMutex wrapping.
That is the same kind of heavy-handed regulation that gave us the sorry copper POTS network we are stuck with today. The free market is the solution, and must be defended against those who want European-style top-down national regulation of what has historically been the most free and vibrant area of economic growth the world has ever seen.
The reason the internet grew into what it is today during the 1990s was precisely because it was so free of regulation and governmental control. If the early attempts[1] to regulate the internet had succeeded, HN probably wouldn't exist and none of us would have jobs right now.

The incentive is the same as the incentive for them to do anything: democratic process and popular pressure. If this is such a no-brainer it should have wide support among Colorado voters. This is much better than having unelected federal judges thousands of miles away declare the issue by fiat.
> The loophole enriches their constituent law enforcement organizations
A. It's not a "loophole", it's simply the lack of any explicit law directing refunds. B. I'm not familiar with Colorado state finances, but I seriously doubt that refunds from vacated convictions would have any significant budgetary impact at all.
> ...if the law as written is encouraging abusive behavior from law enforcement
Again, this isn't "abusive behavior". It's simply lack of a law authorizing what the petitioners demand. I wouldn't be surprised if it was simply that nobody thought to write and pass the law, given the relative rarity of vacated convictions.
In other words, the petitioners can't prove that they have a legal right to a refund. Apparently there is no Colorado law saying that if your conviction is overturned, the state will refund those fees.
That would be a fairly easy legislative fix, rather than inventing the right from thin air via this majority SCOTUS decision.
Yes it is, by definition. Advocate for better legislation, rather than expect lawyers to pinky-swear not to use whatever loopholes they find.
An analogy might be: "Every bug or unescaped input in my application is not valid grounds for attackers to pwn my server! How dare they!"
I support the idea of being faithful in your marriage, but I'm 100% opposed to the federal government enforcing this. How is that contradictory?
Even in the 1990s it was obvious that the copper network was obsolete and any additional money put into it would be a wasted investment.

Chairman Pai specifically speaks about FCC initiatives to increase competition including opening up access to utility poles. It's a difficult issue because many utility poles/corridors are locally or municipally owned and the FCC has no jurisdiction there.
> Even if he says Title II isn't the right framework, why gut it until it's replaced.
The point is that it doesn't need to be replaced. It's a heavy-handed and unnecessary imposition of federal regulation on a market that needs to be as free and open as possible due to the speed of innovation in the tech space.
He makes some really good points and generally comes across as well-informed and well-intentioned. In this climate of crazy media hype it's good to keep an open mind and listen to the actual people working on policy.
Actually in some ways it bears a resemblance to the spaceflight industry (expensive, custom-made, few players). Coincidence?
(I think the metaphor has been stretched to the limit...)
Imagine if you owned a convenience store that had a vault with $40 billion in gold bars inside. Your business would be worth $40 billion, despite being a convenience store.
Spoiler: they're nearly to the point (maybe now they've achieved it fully) of autogenerating a new language backend from ISA documentation PDFs! Bring that up next time someone complains about Go not using LLVM.
Yes the raw compute cost is much higher (and the performance often less) than bare metal, but software development is really, really expensive. With the public cloud you get the result of literally millions of programmer-hours "for free". To many that's worth it (at least at first, below a certain scale).
This is also one reason why Kubernetes is really exciting, BTW. It's a control plane that you don't have to rent.
Shocking! It almost leads one to the conclusion that the only route to a successful happy life is hard work and persistence, regardless of whether you do gigs or a 9-5.
