Cloudflare is a giant man in the middle, and a breach of trust between end-users and the websites they wrongly believe they are securely connected to. Sites that use it are subverting the intent of the SSL/TLS certificate system and making the little lock icon meaningless.

Don' you find it strange they can insert captchas and other pages into what is supposedly a secure connection between you and the website you are visiting? Say, your favorite bitcoin exchange, for example.
That's because the SSL cert was issued for cloudflare's server, not the website server. After that, the traffic between cloudflare and the website may not even be encrypted at all.
But even if it encrypted, it means that cloudflare with its 1000+ employees can view, sniff, log, alter every bit of communication in both directions.
In other words, that little lock icon by the URL in your browser.... completely useless. Because the website has broken your trust by delegating the cert to cloudflare.
Remind me again why people seem to think this is a good thing...
I've used shard-query -- an early version of it. See the link I posted. It uses relational algebra to break a single query up into discrete parallel queries and execute them in parallel then combine the result set, on either a single server or multiple servers. It is able to do this outside the DB, and it could probably be ported to pgsql as well.
As I understand it, "consumer" came out of the advertising industry long ago, since Ad agencies needed a word to describe the people viewing the ads when talking to their "customers", ie the advertisers.
Somehow the news industry has become confused and now refers to everyone who buys anything as consumers. As if we "consume" everything we buy. They are using the word incorrectly, and it is a pet peeve of mine. As if we are all consumers of Target, Costco, Walmart, etc, not their customers. annoying.
But for someone using a free service that is advertising supported, ie most Google users, the word consumer fits.
Yet the journalist (and apparently German government) thinks free users are customers. It's as if they have somehow swapped the two words in their minds.
Now, if the consumer also pays google for something ( google play, etc ) then they are a customer for that service, but still a consumer of the free service(s).

Rep. Ron Paul introduced a bill in the last two Congresses that would bring the above benefits. This bill, called the "Free Competition in Currency Act," was reintroduced in this Congress by Rep. Paul Broun (Bill Number H.R. 77). It has three parts . ..
The Honest Money portion would repeal the legal tender law, which gives the Federal Reserve a monopoly over the money supply.
The Competitive Currency section would repeal the words of Title 18 Section 489 of the U.S. Code, which gives the United States government a monopoly over the creation of coins for use as currency.
The Tax-Free Gold component of the bill would prohibit federal and state taxes, such as capital gains, on precious metal coins and bullion.

The Legal Tender Law Creates a Monopoly
Every paper dollar you own carries the words "Federal Reserve Note" (FRN). This means they were authorized for issue by the Federal Reserve System (the Fed), a national bank created by Congress. The legal tender law gives the Fed a monopoly over what you use for money.
When a currency is legal tender you are legally compelled to accept it in payment for debts, even if you've made a contract to be paid in some other currency or commodity, such as gold. The Free Competition in Currency Act would free you to use other currencies, gold, silver, or all of them at the same time, including FRNs and would make gold contracts legally enforceable in court.
If this seems like a strange new world to you, please realize that you already live in this world to a certain extent.
When you check-out at a store you can already pay using cash, check, debit card, or credit card. You probably also have different accounts you use for various purposes. Repealing the legal tender monopoly would simply extend this process, giving you more choices.
How the FRN Monopoly Works
Choice is good because it allows competition. Monopoly is bad because it leads to price-fixing. Monopoly control over what you can use as money provides the greatest price-fixing power of all. It impacts ALL of your economic transactions. The Fed can manipulate the price of everything by increasing the number of circulating dollars (inflation), or by decreasing that number (deflation).
How the Fed is like a counterfeiting ring
Counterfeiters also inflate the money supply. They use their fake money to get something for nothing, taking wealth from others without creating wealth of their own. It's stealing. But the long-term consequences of counterfeiting are even worse than the initial theft.
If the counterfeit dollars stay in circulation they will trick businesses into making a disastrous mistake.
Assume you're a widget maker. The extra circulating counterfeit dollars will cause demand for your widgets to rise. This increase in demand is actually an inflationary bubble, and that means trouble . ..
Your widgets will start to fly off the shelves faster than you can make them. This will cause you to increase prices to maintain inventories, and to invest in new production and staff to meet the hei

just saying.
$ sudo apt-get install rss2email
$ r2e new you@yourmail.com
$ r2e add feedname http://feed.url/somewhere.rss
$ r2e run
The last command should be put into your crontab.
Now you get new articles automatically delivered straight to your email. setup mail filters, or whatever you like.
Tip: craigslist has custom rss feeds for each search. So you can use rss2email to notify you of new posts matching your search.
In other words, cloudflare.
If they are using SSL/TLS, this is a problem.

$ sudo apt-get install rss2email
$ r2e new your@yourdomain.com
$ r2e add feedname http://feed.url/somewhere.rss
$ r2e run
Add as many feeds as you wish. Only new articles will be sent to your email each run.

wow did I just get time-warped back to 1995 or so? Tell us more of this strange GPL license you speak of...
in other words... tor not secure.
I tried the example search: string concat c#. worked as expected.
So then I tried a very common operation in any programming language these days: json encode c#
To my complete lack of surprise, no example was given. only blue links, as always.
In other words, the examples seem limited to trivial things only. The remote code execution is cool... i guess.
and who paid for this study exactly?
