I personally think this is simply a result of how much harder the media is pushing that divide (for all of their various purposes). I actually spent some time last year researching this, because I thought I might have just become an old man thinking how great things used to be. I started reading old news stories fairly randomly, from the present time all the way back to the Vietnam era (and a few rabbit holes to earlier times). The first thing that surprised me was the amount of link rot that exists. I always knew intellectually that it was a problem, but wow. It's bad. The second thing that I found was that indeed, the media hammers on the "us-versus-them" political divide of American politics much, much harder nowadays than even ten years ago. I think Fox News was really the turning point. It opened the flood gates. I always remember thinking how "extreme" Fox News was, but I challenge anyone to look up a few of their older stories from the middle of the last decade. It's child's play compared to what pretty much every media outlet is doing today. You can hardly read a recent news story from just about anywhere without being told how it's supposed to fit into our political worldview, and how we should feel about it, and why it's good/bad/stupid/amazing/"terrifying". And so of course, because of this, people are just responding to the programming. Creating the world they're led to believe we they live in. I think it really is that straightforward.

This highlights to me something about long-term management of my domains. "blog.reidreport.com" is now run by some domain squatter - and knowing nothing about Reid or reid report I took a vaguely generic website at face value - and clicked on the heavily disguised paid adverts.

Clearly her domain is defunct - but I got suckered and actually came here to say things like "what terrible journalistic standards" before double checking.

As my old domains fall into disrepair I guess I will need to archive them to S3 and keep up the payments just to stop this happening.

An interesting problem - and possibly a revenue source for archive.org?

EDIT:
Hang on - the article on archive says (someone) added a robots.txt to block them. But the blog.reidreport.com is parked on some crappy redirect thing.

Whois says that joyannreird@gmail.com still owns the domain - so I think she has got some very very bad advice from her hosting company. And my point still stands - a domain name is a reputation, and it is for life, not just for christmas.

Bear in mind that countries like France have even lower rates in practice due to various loopholes for their largest corporations - https://www.irishexaminer.com/business/france-has-lower-effe... - effective tax rate of 8.2% as of 2013.

The leak in the system is consolidated tax base, not different tax rates. That is, booking revenue (especially digital revenue) from sales across the whole of the EU in a single EU country for tax purposes promotes a race to the bottom. The right answer is to tax in proportion to the economic activity per country - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Consolidated_Corporate_... .

Unified corporate and income tax rates aren't a smart idea. There's no good reason to force one government to be less efficient than another.

Finally, the bailout (and to be clear: loans, not free money, and loans that were paid off early because they had higher interest rate than was available on the market) of Ireland was an indirect support for banks in other countries that had capital surplus for some years, Germany especially. The ECB forced Ireland to prevent bondholders from taking any losses - https://www.irishtimes.com/news/politics/ecb-refusal-on-bond...

Except Java 9 is already no longer supported. The next viable Java version after Java 8 is Java 11, which is an LTS version. Java 11 will come out around September this year.

So in reality, this means organizations have a couple months to migrate everything from Java 8 to Java 11. Laughable.
Do you have a selection of those old stories - would be interesting .
The thing is, if you're a small enough country that can tax - at a lower rate - revenues/profits generated in other bigger countries, then for you it's better to be able to compete. As long as the bigger countries allow that, that is.
People using Android should live with the notion that Google siphons absolutely everything from their devices. One way is to block any application is not needed to "speak to google" (or Facebook, or any advertisers).

I always use and suggest to other Android users the NoRoot Firewall [1], and then disable/uninstall everything not needed. Of course that applied to IT pros, as tweaking things without the appropriate knowledge may/will result to a phone bricking/reset.

Hi! Your questions are not offensive, in fact, I find it essential to add this to the faq on our site. Maybe it is right time to share who I am and why I have started it.

I (Saurabh) and my brother (Shashikant) are full stack developers. We had started our carrier as the freelance front-end developer and website troubleshooter. We had worked for 3 years before starting a small web studio (1.5 years back).
Throughout these years we have maintained a spreadsheet of interesting and essential resources and tools. We have also frequently used start up stash and similar sites to find what is best.
But we have faced a number of problems during this period like to find which tools are better, what are the latest tools and which are the tools that others are using. And also the problems regarding frequently updating the spreadsheet.

So simply we thought it is a great idea to make a community-curated resource and tools directory where users can suggest latest tools, share their views/discuss and upvote the tools that they have used and satisfied with. That's why we have started Engigogo.com as a small side-project.
Engigogo is at its initial stage and only a few weeks old.

From the day we have started working on Engigogo, we have encountered with a number of interesting resources, tools, and links that are awesome but unfortunately don't directly fall into any of the Engigogo's library.
We thought it could be better if we share these links and tools with other similar thinkers. That's why we have started Engigogo Digest.

As you can see on Engigogo Digest's website, it is a publication type site where everyone can read the newsletter and don't even need to subscribe the newsletter. We have made it that way because our purpose is NOT to grab your email id, instead, we just want to share what we have found interesting.

If you find it interesting then you can visit the site every week and you don't need to subscribe it. The subscription part is just to make it easy to have the latest issues in the inbox instead of visiting the site every week.

I hope I've answered all your questions. And thank you for asking and giving us the opportunity to introduce our self and motto.
Pretty sure that Java 9 should still fully support apps written for older versions of Java.

However, apps written specifically for Java 9 (e.g. using the new modules system) wouldn't work on older versions of Java.
> The thing that didn't last was running a quasi-official Twitter account, perhaps without official blessing.

Running a quasi-official blog without blessing didn't last either [0]. Glad to hear the team got turned into a permanent one internally, but the lack of a public info on its existence doesn't fill me with confidence that this is something Google wants or prioritises at a management level.

The gp was talking about companies' engineers writing "user-friendly data-portability features. Across all product lines". Is that the case with Takeout at Google, or is it just a job given to one relatively small team of self-starters working on a project that was never spearheaded by management?

How is it baiting when it perfectly summarizes the whole news, with no misguidance, no unbased speculations? "Java SE 8 business users must buy a license from January next year" is not a luringly reworded way that (mis)guides the reader to think that something exciting is going on which -- this part is very important for something to be a bait -- actually is just a speculation or is not happening at all. It rather exactly is what is happening.
To be fair, Emily Lakdawalla also did a better job covering the Cassini-Huygens mission than anyone at NASA. Her reporting about the Huygens RUSO/TUSO mishap and the overall mission coverage was top notch.

Yeah, so sorry for all the money your country has received from the EU...

And it still doesn't obey the DNS specs.

Specifically, the DNS RFCs define that, given no search domain, a relative hostname (e.g. google.com) is equivalent to its absolute hostname form (e.g. google.com.).

This is used in SSL validation as well, a certificate valid for one is valid for the other, and in reverse.

Every webserver SHOULD respond to both names identically, or redirect from one to the other.

Let's try that. https://news.ycombinator.com./ yup, works. https://www.nginx.com./ as well. In fact, nginx, Apache2, IIS, the Google Cloud load balancers, AWS's load balancers, every major site supports this.

The only http servers breaking the RFC for absolutely no reason are Caddy and Traefik.

And the issue has been closed as WONTFIX months ago.

Do you really want to use an http server that doesn't even consider following the RFCs? And pay for that?
A normal birth in the UK is free!

UK doctors don't work for free, and neither do nurses. Not to mention equipment and buildings. You're taxed for it.
>they needed the higher-tax countries to bail them out just a few years ago:

You have that the wrong way around.

The Irish taxpayers, unwillingly, covered the massive gambling losses of private individuals and companies(including a group of businesses called "banks") who were playing in the (German-lead US-style) light-touch bank de-regulation "bank-casinos" of Europe. The "casinos" in Ireland had a disproportionate share of that action at approx 40% of the EU total.

The total cost to the Irish tax-payer was approx 65 billion euro I've heard.

We bailed them out using money we _borrowed_ from them and have paid back in full (recently i think?) with interest.

Thats like borrowing money from your loan shark to cover his poker losses.

Not sure what the parent comment meant but maybe because software jobs will start to move to lower earning locations. I've been wondering about this. Manufacturing has largely moved off shore over the last 40 years but software seems much easier to move. Could the whole industry disappear from the first world at a much faster rate?

It isn't . It will have to be bigger, like something huge leaking. A lot of people wont care until everything google knows about them is known by the general public.

Ah, I apologize, I didn't keep notes or save links or anything of the sort, and I keep kicking myself for it. I'm usually pretty good about taking notes just out of my regular habit of doing research, but it was so casual, and I didn't think it would end up taking as much of my time as it did. It's a pretty easy formula to replicate, though. I picked current events that I could remember -- intervention in Kosovo, Bill Clinton's sex scandal, Berlin Wall, first election of Putin, Enron scandal, those kinds of things -- and just started looking up stories, and asked my parents and older friends to help me with events I wasn't old enough to remember before the 80s. I made sure to hit a "good" cross-section of the media outlets of the day.

Apache and PHP-FPM vs. Nginx and PHP-FPM Performance Considerations
I wouldn't be so pessimistic. This was happening in XVIII and XIX century Europe too, which was much more divided politically. Thanks to the industrial revolution, businesses went from town-size to country-size. In reaction, nations coagulated around larger cores. Similarly, when businesses played national region versus national region, workers' right movements were forced to scale up to respond.

In many ways, the emergence of the EU was forced by the rise of supranationally-sized industrial giants emerging from US and URSS. Now that it's clear that "supranational champions" really have no fundamental loyalty, there is a very high chance that supranational institutions will become more and more powerful. The challenge is to make those institutions answer to everyone rather than just to the elites.

How to UNBLOCK/WATCH US NETFLIX IN ARGENTINA – SMART DNS OR VPN?
I think the biggest problem with it, even with industrial stuff, is that it's ignoring transaction costs of moving buildings?

Eg. I buy a property that I want to use as a factory. Some people who work for me move their own accomodation to be close to my factory. I spend absolutely tons of time and money filling my factory with machines, some of which are bolted to walls or have to be constructed inside the warehouse.

The price I'm willing to accept for this property isn't the price of the property, it's the cost to me of moving all my people and goods and rebuilding things. Plus the cost of the interruption to my production flow etc.

Caveat I know nothing about manufacturing but the point is more general, property isn't even close to fungible.

Tesla wouldn't sell their hyperfactory thing for the price they bought it for!

Everyone would be overpaying tax to the extent that their reliance on property isn't fungible, I'm not sure what the implications of that are but property is so fundamental and so much money that they'd be huge.

Locally in the sense of a local development server. The issue is that there wouldn't be a real DNS record pointing at the machine (well, unless you added one to point at your external IP address, but that's a pain for teams). I guess if Let's Encrypt needs to verify the domain it won't be possible...
I'm not optimistic about this at all. The same metrics for success just don't apply in China. All the elements necessary for success in the US could be there, but in China the startup may get red-taped and legislated out of existence in favor of a basically identical entity with better connections to the Satanic squid in charge of the country. I predict a rapid demise for this project, sorry to say. Talented Chinese entrepreneurs, please make your way out of the country as soon as you can.

I have been of the opinion that the US government should have not pushed EV adoption by subsidizing moving all school buses to EV. The reasons are many but most important is having children used to the idea of EV as a good means for local travel, not having all those diesel buses spewing fumes on to people while loading and unloading at schools, and finally keeping school systems from financial issues incurred by rising fuel costs.

I'm European and this is exactly how it works here. The child is billed, you just don't know it because it's handled behind the scenes.

And no, braces and glasses are not free. Again, the child is billed, and the bill is sent to its health insurance company; also, the requirement is not just most basic type, it also needs to have a medical reason, so braces just because you want to look good aren't free, you need to contribute (I had to pay around 25,000 CZK for example, equivalent of one average monthly wage).

Can mods add (2016) to the title?
Thank you for the suggestion. We created the sample project to demonstrate our approach to error handling in SAM setup, see https://medium.com/2pax/fe0e10808732. However, it may indeed be interesting to add a web app as well to show how this would be deployed as a "complete" stack.

I don't think so, we was discussing about this 15 years ago when Indian developers (that earns a way less than the Chinese one) was coming in the market taking the jobs.

For you information, the salary for a good senior software developer in China is higher than the one paid in many 'first world' European countries and in few cases overlap the salary that you can get in UK.

No, actually a currency is not backed by a nations assets.

It is backed by the obligation to pay your taxes in that currency. I.e. every citizen with tax obligation (i.e. basically everybody) needs to collect Dollars to pay his tax bill. So everybody is willing to accept payments in that currency or in a currency which can be reasonably easy converted to Dollars.

As a topper sales tax creates a tax obligation on virtually all transactions within the society, so the need to own Dollars is directly bound to economic activity.
