twayback··on Kansas welcomed my immigrant parents. Then I built Dropbox
This is the issue with all "skill based immigration" -- you want to bring in the best from other countries. Once there are are too many of these guys, the average Joe feels like an idiot and ends up servicing these guys (Uber, food delivery etc.) Millions of Joes' will then vote for a guy like Trump

What did you guys get diluted to? :( I hope this was a good stable valuation across all investors.

twayback··on How to Use User Mode Linux
Great work!

I am trying to run this on the latest Ubuntu but getting the below error:

root@kit:~/uml/furry-happiness# docker run --rm -it xena/docker-uml [WARN tini (7)] Tini is not running as PID 1 and isn't registered as a child subreaper. Zombie processes will not be re-parented to Tini, so zombie reaping won't work. To fix the problem, use the -s option or set the environment variable TINI_SUBREAPER to register Tini as a child subreaper, or run Tini as PID 1. Core dump limits : soft - NONE hard - NONE Checking that ptrace can change system call numbers...ptrace: Operation not permitted check_ptrace : expected SIGSTOP, got status = 9
