You can't kick out the Americans without assuming dictatorship-like command powers over the entire EU economic zone. That only functions at all in China - to whatever mediocre extent it is functioning today - because that's a unified market, one country, under one leadership.

Any attempt by Europe to try that, would destroy the European economy. Germany is hyper dependent on exports. The US eats most of its own dog food when it comes to manufacturing, Germany does not. Nearly all of Europe, other than Russia and perhaps Norway, lacks the ability to be truly energy independent today. It's obvious who would win the import / export restriction war.

There's one country capable of being fully self-sustaining across science, innovation, manufacturing, natural resources, technology - that's the US. Europe has barely shown an ability to cooperate even in a poorly functioning manner when it comes to integration, much less of the extreme integration such a command economy system would require. Even the Eurozone experiment has been a disaster for the majority of countries involved. There's no possibility of the kind of extreme integration the kick-the-Americans-out plan would require, ever happening.

Kick the Americans out? Ok, well now BMW, Porsche, and Mercedes are banned in the US. Germany just lost a huge part of its economy (look up the two biggest markets for their vehicles: the US and China).

Protectionism is how every nation on the planet developed. Why are Americans driving South Korean/Japanese cars and not the other way around? Because the south koreans and the japanese imposed large tariffs on car imports and the US did not. Their car companies had free range on their own turf. Which gave them time and money to develop.

Do not mentally categorize software into "has never had a vulnerability" versus "has had vulnerabilities" buckets. Especially for software as widely used, and as closely scrutinized, as browsers.
Moreover, I'd take sandboxed JavaScript over sandboxed native code any day, given the complexity of modern browser IPC and how much kernel surface area tends to be exposed even to sandboxed processes on Windows and Mac.
I'd always seen electric vehicles and fully autonomous vehicles as synergistic technologies for this reason. Certainly, in the part of town where I live, no one has garages or even driveways, so electric cars as they stand would not be practical here.

While I agree with the general point you are making - the Internet as a whole had not reached a general populace tipping point until after Google was a major player in search.

I think we, as technologically included people, tend to overestimate how old the internet is to most people outside of maybe early email usage.

Also the implosion of companies (like Yahoo) is a factor here. If Yahoo hadn't been really stupid they would still be dominant - and it would have been hard to stop them.

Of course people can overtake when the leader throws the lead... but it's luck and also hard.
Of the major economies, Russia is the most directly controlled, more so than China. Putin is a dictator when it comes to most of the economy, he determines everything by fiat. The Russian government seized control, through direct violence or the threat of violence, of nearly every major industry across the whole country. There isn't a single major industry they don't control. You can't do anything of economic consequence without first making a deal with Putin's government.

I was the entire IT staff for Linescape (linescape.com) for its first 4 years. I was somewhat flabbergasted at the level of IT the industry was at in 2008 - 1990s at best. The industry was still trying to decide if XML was useful vs EDIFACT (straight from the 1970s) for transmitting shipping schedules. It was interesting work though, I had some very good insights into where the industry could go / was going to go and we could had made some bleeding edge improvements in terms of IT (e.g. the use of graph databases to model shipping routes and calculating various things) We could have been the first to market with a SaaS / API for dealing with shipping schedules, but management fiddled around and Maersk beat us to the punch.

Unfortunately the founders of Linescape have absolutely zero ethics and ripping off customers (and those working for the company) was more important than anything else. I only later found out about the criminal record of one of them which explains the reluctance to go find investment money. It was a classic cautionary tale about the startup ecosystem (vet the people you're doing business with / working for very carefully) and the lack of business ethics so prevalent (aka Uber et al) The CEO and his now ex-wife are now fighting over the company...

The thing was, none of the drama was necessary! We could have really made something of the company. But capitalism these days...
There were many search companies in the start and for a long time all of them did the same, google came and delivered a better product and kept innovation. People came and saw the google homesite with a logo, textfield and a button. This is simple we can make this also without knowing all the stuff behind it.

Search is now a mature industry, it is always better to go for the new places where there are no dominant players. Google biggest competitor is not another search engine but Facebook. This is the ways it is supposed to work.

If someone offer you a product cheaper than you can make it yourself, take the offer and find something better to do. Everyone looses by protectionism.

I think everyone forgets the innovation in Ad Words which made it possible for small businesses to thrive. One can now get started with 100$ marketing budget while one before needed 10000$.

> Europe is always fretting about how they need to create their own Silicon Valley but it's easy to do, kick out the Americans! You'll have your own Baidu, Tencent and Alibabas in no time.

People seem to forget that Europe is not a country. Europe does not have a single uniting language. What happens, is that every country starts their own smaller versions and they stay mostly within that country. If they want to move to another country, there's often already a major player there, and they might not have the means to kick them out.

I think the reason that silicon valley is so powerful, is that the initial market is 325 million people who all speak the same language. Once you get the US market, you have the size, name and means to easily start conquering European countries. It's always about scale...
Note that you can just learn how to make about a dozen dishes to a high standard and that will serve you for life, but learning how to write a dozen algorithms in one language won't get you through CS 101.
On the other hand, keep in mind it's an observational study, not an experiment. As such, it's highly succeptible so various biases, including P-hacking (choosing a hypothesis based on data).

I'm really glad that concepts are finally making their way in after such a long time. Concepts make using and developing templates so much more straight-forward and easier to read!
> Do not mentally categorize software into "has never had a vulnerability" versus "has had vulnerabilities" buckets.

Right. Software that has never had a vulnerability is either 1) software that has never had careful scrutiny, 2) software that has no potential security implications whatsoever, or 3) software that has gone through some formal verification and proof process (exceedingly rare).
There is no difference between the US govt and its multinationals.

Why the TPP is being moved so quickly is because of the rise of a competing set of multinationals in china.

I do not think the idea of a nation state is going to go away anytime soon - espeically when you have robust democracy like in germany,india and europe. Multinationals do not invest in education, infrastructure, low cost housing, etc.

The US became an exceptional nation mainly because of its actions in the past when they actually invested in their people that resulted in companies like GM,GE to come into existence in the first place. Now they are just trying to preserve their global hegemony without paying for it.

Modern browser IPC is what backs JavaScript as well as sandboxed native code, so that's not going to save you. Windows/OSX issues aside, on Linux I'm more comfortable with seccomp-bpf than with a sandbox that's based solely on assuming an absence of security holes in a JavaScript virtual machine.
There are devices like this in use, i worked with automotive and we used a device like this to attach certified third party factory installed add-ons, they also translated vendor specific quirks in the protocol so that both sides would understand each other better. In essence the third party was kindof trusted but to be on the safe side we firewalled them to only allow a list of white listed commands, more like an API. Not having this kind of barrier for internet attached devices is inexcusable.

Oh, I don't want to argue that unsandboxed JavaScript—and by this I mean unsandboxed at the OS level—is more secure than sandboxed C++. (Now I think there's a reasonable case that it is when compared to the sandboxes on Windows/Mac, but that's debatable and I'm certain that people with more expertise in security than I have disagree with me.)

My point is that I prefer having the JS VM and the OS-level sandbox, as opposed to just the OS-level sandbox.

Regarding IPC, I think there's a difference in terms of surface area between being able to call the Web APIs and being able to send arbitrary bytes (and shmem, etc.) across the named pipes/file descriptors.
What is express middleware?
I don't think I did. Security is obviously not a black-and-white thing, and my words "on par" and "close" are entirely consistent with a shades-of-grey view.

Nonetheless, the posterior distribution shifts based on new evidence.

Are you making a claim about which one is more secure? I'm genuinely curious about how they stack up against one another. pdf.js is obviously managed code, which I'm sure helps. But it also seems like it has less person-power behind it, now and historically. Do you agree with that perception? Why or why not?

Yes, of course they do, but the mode of operation is very different.

Obviously the Russian government exerts control over Google's Russian operation, but it's not explicit like in China. This has meant Google can continue to operate in Russia without losing face ("do no evil" and all that), whereas it wasn't possible in China.

Your link is about the Russian trade embargo, which is not directly relevant... But it does illustrate the huge difference between Chinese and Russian trade politics. China keeps tight reins internally on content and communications, but wants to ensure the free flow of material imports and exports.

China wouldn't allow an external political disagreement to disturb relations to the extent that Western imports would be banned. At least I can't imagine French cheese being burned by the tonnes in Shanghai...

Given that some XAML-in-UIKit stuff is discussed somewhere else here, they may already work on extending beyond iOS, probably hoping to keep Apple busy with eternal catch-up (since they're said to have cross licensing agreements, patent wars are likely out of the question here).
The US practices a huge amount of protectionism as well.

The reason that the Americans are driving Japanese cars is that they were built in the US (which happens because of the protectionism). Ford doesn't build cars in Japan. The end result is good for most people (consumers get more choice, jobs are still in the country).

They care about consumer freedom, that's why. What you are implying is that competition can never work and that people with a head start should be regulated away.

It screws the consumer and there is no proof it works best in the long run. France is super protectionist but they aren't doing so well. In many cases, it just has knock on effects that make other industries uncompetitive. Can't buy the best engines, therefore we can't compete in any market that requires good engines, etc.

I think Google is definitely not going to skate by like they did in the US with a slap on the wrist. The investigation into Android is going to be another big one and if they break up Google's ability to bundle/tie in their services, it pretty much neutralizes the entire benefit of Android to Google as a defensive moat.

- Export (changes) to Xcode project might be on the roadmap

- There's interop between ObjC and C++ / C# using some sort of event system.

- Visual Studio 2015 has autocomplete and syntax colouring for ObjC
