<p>Let's leave the analogy in it's grave. The point is that the responsibility for delivery falls to the provider of the internet service not the proprietor of the content in another country, who is not a business in the country and not subject to it's laws, the isp can ban connectivity to whoever they want to protect themselves from criminal liability. It's like saying the uk can criminally punish anyone for any content on the internet in any country because their citizens accesed it. It's ridiculous.<p>Agree with the point that it's mostly to extort larger firms who do in fact operate businesses there.</p>

<p>Your analogy falls flat because they have to connect to the website, not the other way around. You can't argue that someone requesting access to a page is the same as delivering a book into their borders. They can choose to block access but the website doesn't operate there or owe them anything. They choose to be apart of the connected network, no one forces them.</p>

<p>While reproducible build envs are a nice feature of using containers, they aren't the primary benefit.<p>The primary benefit is resource usage and orchestration.<p>Rather than duplicating entire aspects of an OS stack (which might ne considered wasteful) they allow for workloads to share aspects of the system they run on while maintaining a kind of logical isolation.<p>This allows for more densely packed workloads and more effective use of resources. This is a reason why the tech was developed and pushed by google and adopted by hyperscalers.</p>

<p>It is an amazing model! I think it works well because it's a library that is "infrastructure" / "support" for other systems though (browsers, android)<p>I wonder if it applies to the kind of software that is more complete like anything with a UI etc. If I get the final result the tests don't mean much to me.</p>

<p>In general, it's not a protection from gross negligence and/or fraud.<p>The problem is that in cases like these it's extremely difficult to prove such a thing, especially considering it's over many decades and potentially dozens of people.<p>There's also a bit of practical concerns where criminal prosecutions don't want to pick cases that are tough to win as it'll be resource intense to pursue them.<p>Of course like the Volkswagen situation you reference (in Germany) where the corporation operates may impact criminal prosecution.</p>

<p>> Corporate entities and the legal protection they provide are accessible to only the wealthy and elite.<p>This is the part of the previous comment to which I was responding, giving just one example of how it's not the case. Limited Liability corporations protect business owners of all wealth levels. Just correcting a patently false claim.<p>I understand your concern about thread topic, but it's just not really applicable to my point above.</p>

<p>This just isn't true though. Do you mean to say thay legal remedies are more accessible to the rich? Every single small business owner benefits from the liability protections of corporations. If my business burns down and it's not fraud or something then I am not personally liable, nor should I be.</p>

<p>True, but there are times when doing some analyzes or refactoring that what one wants to operate on is go source directly, so the output of gofmt is easier and standardized and doesn't require handling the ast at all.</p>
