How is this any different from Google doing it? It is okay for Google to crawl the Internet, but not okay to crawl Google Play? Google raising such an objection would be an ultimate irony. Edit: On second thought, I guess you are referring

They are there because of the regulations. You'll also find an ashtray in the bathroom. It is because the regulations have not changed since the times that people were allowed to smoke on planes.

The purpose of the market is not to determine valuations, it is to facilitate transactions. The transactions happen at different prices (very close together) - the idea is the market participants (buyers and sellers) have their own ideas ab

They would not be able to publish the video, however. That would be illegal.

The selling point of Node.js is asynchronous I/O. I'm sure you mean bandwidth rather than network latency - in which case that is really not a limiting factor when running in a datacenter (40 Gbps in at Linode for example).

I've just run a small test (crawling a server running locally) and it comes out at 243 pages per second with one process. This crawls a webpage, adds its links to the queue and saves the URL in a Redis set. This is running on a Macbook

Not too long ago I built a small webcrawler using Node.js, figuring that crawlers spend most of their time waiting (e.g. downloading) and therefore Node.js would be well suited. At the time I found crawlers written in Python were fairly slo

But surely it is not common to tip delivery drivers in the US? (Correct me if I am wrong.) Tipping is normally done for 'personal service' type jobs, e.g. where you have someone wait for you during a meal.

You can often loan out movies, music, books and sometimes software from a local library, free of charge. (At least in the UK.) It was also common to loan a friend a CD back when CDs were a thing. Perhaps it is more pervasive now, but I don&

But an American company operating in the UK is also subject to British law. Suppose if the British government compelled Google to hand over information stored in the United States on Americans. Is that okay? This is only acceptable if you t

Even if the DoJ did make it law, it would surely conflict with law that the Irish domiciled entity is subject to.

That sounds very dangerous. What would happen if Amazon simply had a 99% share, but 1% was held by another purely Irish company. Amazon might elect the board and the subsidiary might 'lease' intellectual property and capital from

Aren't the data centers technically owned by Amazon Ireland for compliance (cough tax) reasons? Amazon clearly state that data never moves out of the region.
