The bush in my backyard is growing too, similar to the PHP API surface circa PHP5, not every growth is a good thing. I am very cautious of what is to become of Github in a couple of years.

I think it is probable that big players would lawyer-up their way out but GDPR has little impact on honest competition, sure, if you want to join the dodgy-club without deep pockets and a legal department, it is gonna a bit harder, but toug

You say it like Electron documentation is any better, for one, the scope of a project like electron is many orders of magnitude smaller than the Apple ecosystem APIs and second, it is barely any better. This comes from someone who has done

Free Open Source Software is easy, Free Open Source Services are harder, not impossible (OpenStreet Maps, Wikipedia, IRC (Freenode specifically)), but it is really hard because the cost increases with users unlike software. And what Google

In a post snowden world, why would you trust a 5E product anymore? Not saying that you should trust Chinese companies, but the notion that they're any worst by speculation in the face of evidence for the alternative's being compli

It is a shame that OSI didn't happen though and instead we have an ad-hoc mess of layered cake without clear boundaries as demonstrated by OSI Model.

It is actually much much faster than Firefox "standard". Might stick with it too!

That is indeed true, but it is worth considering that the budget and reach go hand in hand. So smaller nations tend to have their proverbial eyes on a smaller number of targets, relatively.

It is just political theatrics. Every nation on earth is doing this and has been doing it since the dawn of the time. The only difference I can image with the Chinese being that they have joined the ranks of American and Russians in capabil

The fines also needs to be fair, not fixed cost. I think the EU has got the percentage-of-revenue approach right. A million dollar fine for a small company can be death-sentence while for a big player it is lose change, that is not fair.

Loss leaders are to bring customers in with the hope of selling them some higher margin products, predatory pricing is selling products below the price to push competition out of business.

It could make the difference of mounting a hash collision before a certificate expires or after (2X time), if the attack doesn't yield to parallelism and time becomes a limiting factor.

> And my claim is that if your threat model depends on an attacker who can afford $20M being unable to afford $40M But is it? I think the underlying claim is that 2X difference doesn't matter, which is patently false.
