That was the best. Loved the original CEO Denholm Reynholm until he jumped from the headquarters tower! And what about the goth in the server room? Hilarious First show to fit the whole internet in a box. xD
The problem is that when a company get so big like Netflix it won't be easy for the market to react. It just can't pop up a new streaming company next day with a better offer and catalogue than Netflix. Same happens on many different areas like ISP's for example.
So, in this case, the idea of market competition and adjustment for customer benefit kinda sucks in capitalism.
Capitalism is like Monopoly(tm). Starts well for everyone and things get better during the way: buying properties, building houses, paying taxes BUT, in the end, only one can win and everybody else goes bankrupt. Right now, in capitalism, we passed half way of the game.
They could enforce it in popular hardware like smartphones, digital cameras, etc.. Some high profile websites (like image banks) could adopt it in a way to prevent others to seal their content. Even Facebook can adopt it to stop people from using YOUR content which is now THEIRS.
Traveled half world to attend DEF CON 22 and it was a great experience. Saw some interesting conferences, learned how to lockpick, new hacking techniques, social engineering skills, met great people (including Kevin Mitnick) and, of course, party hard for 3 days! Thanks to all who made DEF CON possible all this years.
"While it is true that with TRR you may not expose the websites you call to a random DNS server in an untrustworthy network you don't know(...)"
I don't use random DNS servers and I don't trust Cloudfare at all. Why in the world should they choose that for me? I see so many problems (performance and security for starters) with this approach that find it hard to believe how this idea got this far.
This reminds me the time Network Solutions wanted to resolve all unknown hosts to his own IP's to show a friendly message (and maybe gather some data in the process).
Hope it's possible to change this behavior and sincerely hope Mozilla invest their resources in optimizing Firefox performance rather than this nonsense.
Forcing a website that serves only public content and requires no user input it's absurd!
Why spend the resources of encryption (well put by @RichardStallin) in something that needs none as it's already public information.
The only point I see in Google doing this is that they're concerned about sharing the user navigation history with others since forcing https doesn't affect Google Analytics but may affect other services who get their stats based on packet inspection.
I had a similar trajectory as you but chose SuSE instead of Gentoo. More recently due to professional reasons adopted Red Hat as my main distro. Memories are good though. When you're young things tend to have more impact in your life and will go on with you the rest of your life, like the first kiss or the first Linux distro =)
Breaking the law and bending the law are two different things, just look at Uber problems in so many countries:)
Big corporations use lobbying and create their own laws before they break it or when they're about to get caught. They have a huge influence on all the laws regarding their businesses.
Abusing employees is tricky. If unemployment rate is high enough most of the people accept about any conditions just to get some food on the table.
We have to decide if what matters is the business game in real life - which is like the Monopoly(tm) game, only one person gets everything in the end and all the others lose, it's inevitable. Or, we provide enough for everybody live with comfort and make the business game secondary with stricter rules.
Of course the group of people in charge of those business won't let happen because their wealth wouldn't be of 69,000,000,000 but 690,000,000 which I think it's more than enough for someone with a lavish lifestyle.
I think the point is exactly that: when a corporation reaches a determined size it's impossible to maintain a free market, competition and all that.
For me that's the biggest caveat of the free market capitalism. There should be some sort of ceiling for companies regarding competition. In a simplistic example, something like NBA does.
On the contrary, it means the purpose of the movie was achieved by making people think and reach their own conclusions.
If you want a movie to don't think at all go watch Titanic =)
That's true but the costs are not even close and I'm a in-house advocate all the way.
Every choice (cloud vs in-house) has pros and cons. For the OP that choice should've been made based on budget, risk assessment or internal resources. If it was budget, well, that's the price to pay for a cheaper infrastructure, at least on short to mid term.
Like any other language that suits his purpose - when well coded!
I've been using PHP in web development for 10 years now and I can say it has very good features along with some flaws but, once again, just like any other language.
People read "PHP" and think automatically in(secure) phpBB or Joomla but you can write your own PHP code/framework/project, you know. Just make sure if it fits your needs first before you say it doesn't do the job. Maybe you just chose the wrong set of tools for the job.
Damn, I even write shell scripts with it and been replacing old bash scripts for PHP!

Besides that, who cares about the improvement on how the Chinese government spies on their citizens?
If they protect their own facilities like this imagine our own data :S
Missed one point:

It was not the gun who killed them, it was the bullet...

It's anonymous if you discard completely the IP address when storing Notepad telemetry. Which I'm not totally sure is what's M$ is doing.
There's no more directors like him. Movie industry it's in a all time low regarding quality or, at least, different and breaking movies like this one.

...secretly, apparently!
I don't really need the source to find and exploit bugs.
Well, it sure helps!

Same here!
Who remembers figuring out Procomm Plus for the first time? Usenet? Trumpet Winsock?
Trumpet Winsock, yes! :)
It helped me back in the 90's to ICMP flood others in IRC networks
I'm sorry about that now...not!
No need for a controller, you can always do a round-robin DNS server list.
than ask to search the solution online!
