When cars were invented, producing them in large numbers, operating them efficiently and comfortably would have been a major concern while anyone talking about safety would be ridiculed. As it turned out engineering challenges were sorted out by economic incentives but car safety/pollution control had to be legislated.
In case of cars though wrong design choices in older cars could be phased out eventually but in case of online platforms the choices will remain there for more number of people in terms of market penetration given the explosion social networks are having in the last decade. Even if vast majority of people prioritize other things over privacy, vocal and knowledgeable minority need to raise the concerns of the choices unknowingly being made by less knowledgeable people.
Nothing to do with that. This was Supreme Court decision and government will probably challenge it.
Even if Cryptocurrency helps in some dire situation arising out of COVID-19, facilitating cryptocurrency would be lowest of priorities for the government.
Apart from that Common Crawl respects robots.txt (which makes sense) so many sites you expect to see there are not indexed. Netflix, Facebook LinkedIn and many more. If common-crawl sees serious adoption those sites will modify their robots.txt but it's and chicken/egg problem.
These are new powers and they are intrusive but they will likely get challenged in the court based on above judgement. Honestly though very few of average citizens care for government to take notice.
I understood these concepts by reading this book. It is great book for anyone wanting to go from intermediate to advanced or may be even beginner to advanced level
You can go on using Javascript for years without understanding some basic concepts like "value of this does not depend on where that function is defined but the way it is called".
I am just trying to understand the difference. But why not consider Javascript extension of server side code. I don't think, anybody is stopping use of websites just because their back-end is not open source.
Is it because we own our desktop and we don't allow non-free code to execute on our machines? If not then it is just issue of proximity, your laptop vs distant data center. If it is more philosophical point that we should not use non-free software then using website running on closed source back-end is as much a problem as obfuscated Javascript.
This is really novel concept and I hope it catches on as it presents many advantages.
Although, you have pointed it out in the comments, can't you enable iframing of the response so users are not confused. At lest, I didn't know why I was seeing blank frame.
It is Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit I assume(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geostationary_transfer_orbit) (but wiki article's suggested apogee doesn't match) as there 5 more orbit manoeuvres remaining which will put it to final position.
From what I know, this is dues to lower capacity of PSLV which was used for this launch. GSLV being developed has more power but it is not as dependable as PSLV yet.
I haven't tested it fully but what if https is running on different port i.e. 443 (It is possible.)
I believe marking cookie secure will only save you from MITM attack, not from attacks where ports are shared in a domain. i.e. cookies will be sent over https only but to a compromised port.
