They either provide a service that people want or they don't.

If google uses their dominant search position to make sure that only google place links are ever seen and clicked, others might have trouble providing any service at all which does not go through google. There are obvious problems with that, and we even see problems today with companies who are penalised by google and cannot reach customers.

There is a tension here because some of Google's moves are actually good for consumers (say displaying maps), and not many people like using things like booking.com anyway (who are as you point out just more middlemen), but I think there is a legal case against monopolistic behaviour, and Google is getting very close to the kind of behaviour which has been punished in the past.

The bit I find interesting here is that countries no longer really have enough power to fully control corporations which are becoming truly supranational - this century we might find corporations become more powerful than even the most powerful countries. That puts us in an interesting position if say Google decides to take over a market or exclude certain users for monetary gain - who is going to stop them?
At a first guess - any Chinese business wanting to do business with non-Chinese would then have websites which throw up warnings about their CNNIC issued SSL Certs. Surely _some_ of them would see a competitive advantage o the market by going to a non-CNNIC cert? And if the rules make that awkward, surey some of them will choose to host competitive customer marketing sites outside The Great Firewall? By selling inappropriately powerful certs to MCS Holdings, there's a chance they're going to lose some of their understood-but-ignored ability to MITM some (many?) Chinese corporate connections from outside China.

If you want to see the effects of various nukes there is a simulator here: http://nuclearsecrecy.com/nukemap/ (I have no idea if it will get you on some sort of list if you access it).

The takeaway is that, as long as it is just a single nuke, the damages are rather underwelming, except for the Tsar bomba.

Agreed.

But the German education system isn't like Anglo (e.g., US) systems. 27% of this generation of Germans have post-secondary education, compared to 43% of their American counterparts.

Someone explained to me that this is due to Germany's focus on trades and apprenticeship.

I think the argument here goes "CNNIC is a government department in China. Government departments 'customers' are rarely the people from whom they take money or provide services - their actual 'customers' are other more-powerful government departments, or the current political powerholders."
The documentation has the following to say on the subject:

> Each server has access to a pool of local drives. These drives are exported to servers via the NBD protocol which effectively makes them network drives. However, network between these drives and C1 nodes are dedicated PCB tracks which ensures minimal latency and avoids network congestion.

> There is no redundancy on these volumes, you need to handle redundancy on your side! They are archieved to a permanent storage when you start and stop your server.

> Local volumes are 100% SSD drives which are able to deliver a lot of IOPS and are perfect for random read/write patterns. The maximum size of LSSD volumes is 150GB.

It was different time.

Soviet union was enclosed by US airbases and nonstop flying bombers, which could hit any city in a few hours. America also developed crazy stuff like Project Pluto...

Anyway there are two reasons for this bomb not mentioned in article:

- Terraforming. Soviets honestly believed they could redirect rivers from north to arid south. They even made artificial valley in mountains as experiment. Larger nukes are cleaner than smaller nukes.

- Doomsday device in form of dirt bomb. Plan was to concentrate all nuclear waste from Soviet countries on single place, and explode massive bomb under it. Explosion would spread nuclear material into atmosphere and most of earth wold become radioactive. This device was not approved by soviet leaders, too dangerous.
I thought it was obvious that there are still going to be fees, but that in comparison to the tens of thousands americans pay in tuition, it's basically free.

Microsoft is using CNNIC certs for their Windows Azure services in China (, which of course is independent from Azure services in other regions, and is jointly operated with Chinese partners).

I would love to live in a tiny house village...but, the zoning laws in my home city (Austin) make it literally impossible.

It is also illegal to be homeless here, with fines for illegal camping costing several hundred dollars. It's sickening to see all the new construction, often with enthusiastic support of much of city council and the mayor, that is targeted at people who can afford $3000/month rents, when there are so many families being pushed out of their neighborhoods.

I've kind of idley been shopping for houses or land in New Orleans and its fascinating how tiny some of the old houses are. There was a time when it was not considered crazy or illegal to construct a two room, 250 square foot, house for one or two people to live in. It don't understand how we've gone so far in the McMansion direction. It's entirely possible to live happily in a tiny space (I did it for four years, living and traveling full-time in a motorhome).

Engineering programs in North America must be accredited by either ABET (USA) or APEG (Canada) in order to use the term engineering in the degree. After this you must pass tests from these organizations to legally use the word engineer in your job title.

So in North America they would see it as a difference. Often there are agreements between ABET or APEG and other countries the local engineering association (Portugal in your case).

I think for getting a first job and maximizing your salary with your first job, it would matter. As time goes on and you gain experience, it will matter less, especially for Computer Engineering.

The $59.90 account only buys you identity verification so that you can get a cert for your own personal domains. When you want to get certs for a company's domains, you also have to pay for organisation verification for another $59.50.
In neither case are you allowed to request certificates for domains owned by other entities, even if you are authorized to do so by the owner (e.g. as a service provider). See here: https://www.startssl.com/policy.pdf
Heh, let the arms race begin!

When every browser ships with verified fingerprints for a lot of important websites, it will be nearly impossible to use fraudulent SSL certificates on any significant scale without triggering a worldwide alarm.

Chrome already reports home when it encounters a forged certificate for any Google property. Firefox has started to use Chrome's HSTS preload list too, and Microsoft said they would use it in IE & Spartan on Windows 10. The future isn't looking good for would-be certificate forgers.

Those don't sound like "taxes" in the sense that they're paid by the entire population, they're just direct payments to the school and only paid by students and parents (those who directly benefit from the service of education).

What I am trying to say is that, from an individual perspective, it makes more sense to pay the $15k. If you're making $50k/year in income, 3% of that for the rest of your life (assuming you work for about 50 years) comes to about $60k, which is what 4x$15k is anyway. However, if your income is above that, you pay significantly more. The US median income in 2014 was $51939 (got this number from a quick Google search, might not be 100% accurate), so half the population would indeed pay a total sum larger than $60k with a 3% tax.

In Mozilla's implementation, name constraints are applied to the CN field. I believe Chrome is the same way. Also, browsers "validate domain names" against the CN attribute and the dNSName entries in the subjectAltName extension.

Nah, found that while searching for the other. I can probably use that, though. The one I'm thinking of had you putting a short instruction at the top of the file (like @include) if you wanted it to be part of the output file. Maybe I'm not remembering this correctly as I can find nothing on it now.
The way I see it, clang is an implementation detail; this might be implemented with something else, if only anything better existed. If anything, it should reference vim. Alas, I'm a sucker for wordplay.

It can be pointed out that YouCompleteMe, for example, also doesn't have vim in the name. I guess it's not so bad!
Why would I use this over Amazon? It seems their cost is higher and it is ARM, which I assume sucks from a perspective of running e.g Python.
Having grown up and studied in Germany and having lived and worked in the US too I know the differences quite a bit.

Yes, thinking is more narrow here in Germany and the "Fachidioten" that you are referring to are real. However, the depth and thoroughness of domain specific knowledge that you acquire with a German university degree are hard to beat, specifically in Engineering / STEM.

I would even go as far as to say that the top German Engineering Universities (Munich, Darmstadt, Aachen) are comparable to the top US universities in that area (Stanford, MIT, ...).

Now with regards to broadness of thinking and knowledge, it's true that the US values this much higher than Germany and the situation hasn't especially improved with the Bologna process in Germany.
However the big argument is that German universities are free and cost of living is low. Then why not study in Germany and get some of the US mentality later in your professional life by working in the US?

I'd argue that valuing choice of college/university too high is a mistake that many people make. Instead figure out first what you want, focus on getting your skills and how to discover new opportunities in life. No college university can really help you with this.

"Chrome has a sort-of-solution built on top of this"

… which scales up about as far as every domain Google owns/cares about, and a few of their friends/partners/sites-that're-politically-or-business-beneficial-to-Google-to-pin.

I suspect in my 20 odd years of working with ssl protected websites, there's maybe 2 or 3 sites I've worked on that hav a hope in hell of getting into Chrome's pin list. If you're outside the US Fortune500 or any other countries Fortune100, how easy is it gonne be to get Google to pin your cert? It's nice if you're Twitter - it's _never_ gonna work for mygreatcatphotos.org.au...

It's useful, and a great thing they're doing, but as you say, it's _very much_ a sort-of-solution.

That's one of the big names I had in mind. They're pretty expensive for the performance you get. I'd choose a multi-core AMD or Intel...even when virtualized it's gonna provide more juice for your dollar, according to the math I did. Which is weird because ARM has come so far. I'm really wanting to try ARM on the server but the costs are still wrong. This is, of course, at least partly just because the barebones and white box manufacturers haven't entered the fray.

Memory capacity was actually my biggest cost factor that made a difference. You can buy x86 boxes with 256GB capacity for quite cheap. Up to 1TB for not outrageous amounts. The micro servers are designed for quite low amounts of memory... But memory is, by far, the bottleneck I am concerned with. CPU speed barely matters at all...so virtualizing CPU is fine as long as memory can be huge and fast.

No and there probably won't be. Them publicly saying they were being attacked by the Chinese government would put them on some seriously questionable legal ground. They definitely went the right route by not saying anything.

Long story short: Not using a CDN is stupid. Learn to CDN.

Programming != Math.

Logic is important, but that is mostly orthogonal to any course of math instruction I've ever been exposed to. Now, if your goal is to be an academic computer scientist, then yeah, you do have to know some advanced math, just because the frontiers of research are so far out there. If you're aspiring to be a software engineer/developer, then chances are, outside of a few specialties, you may go weeks without using any math that an elementary-schooler couldn't perform.

A developer who is overly mathematically-inclined is actually a small red flag for me, because I have seen too many people who are very good at math and seem to understand theory, but absolutely cannot write code.

Anecdotally, I have seen much better results from developers who have experience in hands-on trades like mechanics, plumbing, carpentry, etc. There's an element of visualizing the entire system and how the components interact that seems to map over well to programming.

Its one thing to research a product, and get it in a demonstrable form. This occurs time and again. Its another thing to have the ownership of the technology in the right hands, such that the technology can then be funded. Its then another thing to get the funding required to actually make the product happen.

Too often, those who would lose the most, are the ones with the biggest presence at each stage of this process. If you look, you'll see that petro-chemical/military-industrial giants have, in their portfolios, sufficient actually working technology to make major changes in the world. Its just not as profitable for them - nor as safe - as weapons manufacture, ramping up existing oil-infrastructure, etc.

Until we start controlling these entities properly - taxing oil and weapons manufacture at levels that make it more viable to let go of these antiquated economic control mechanisms - nothing will change.

That can't change, until you and I change, and stop depending on oil and weapons as a fundamental aspect of our culture. And the way I see it, the only viable way for that to occur is for the grass-roots to keep inventing new and feasible ways to disconnect from the petro-/military- industrial complex. The day we can grow our own batteries in a simple garden fish-tank .. we'll either have almighty peace on earth, or hellfire from above. Either way, keep trying to find that sweet spot.
Have you ever managed / ran a site in the top 500? Top 400? Top 300? Top 200? Top 100? No? Ok, then, moving on. I have worked on multiple sites in the top 100, as well as on extremely large software projects with thousands of coders and millions and millions of lines of code.

And actually, yes, I looked at your site, your LinkedIn profile, and whatever. You don't know what you're talking about and are not any good at technology. You may think you are, but you're not.

If Germany is like other European countries, it also helps that your taxes are "automatically paid" to the government, usually by having the employer take them out of your salary and paying them. It's not like in US where Americans feel every dollar going to the government when they do their taxes. Since they are paid automatically, the income taxes aren't even on people's minds, usually.

However, if Europeans had to do their own taxes for their salaries, I'm sure many more would be upset about high taxes.
