Indeed, there are so many traps you can fall into when writing web apps. It feels like when web was designed, security was not given due attention and efforts.

Other than the brand factor, iPhone is actually a better phone. Before the current iPhone I have, I had always been an Android user. I used entry-level Android phones, high-end Android phones such as Samsung Galaxy, iPhone is clearly a bet

China led the world for a long time way before the superpower concept was even a thing. It fell behind only recently since the 1st Industrial Revolution started.

Boeing and Airbus want those markets as well. They don't want them any less than China does.

China is by far the largest aviation market in the world. They don't need other markets to succeed. If they can replace Boeing and Airbus with their home-made airplanes, that is a huge success. According to research, China needs more t

As much as I want to see an immoral company to crash and burn, the presented evidences so far have been circumstantial. There is a lack of direct evidences that Uber was stealing IP, as opposed to Levandowski.

When Didi acquired Uber China, Didi also invested $1B in Uber and got some Uber shares in return. Here is the link to WSJ: https://www.wsj.com/articles/china-s-didi-chuxing-to-acquire...

Didi is not Uber's competitor any more. Didi acquired Uber China, is an investor in Uber, and owns Uber shares. So does Uber in Didi. They don't compete directly in any major market at this moment.

That is massive. That is even more than the 3.5B Uber raised in the last round.

I did not bother to read the article. The title looks suspicious to me. For a scientific breakthrough, you don't plan it ahead. Instead, you work hard for a long time and all in a sudden you hit that milestone. It is unpredictable and

If anything, the Indian outsourcing companies such as TCS, Wipro, Infosys violated the principles of trade, to begin with. They have abused the H-1B visa loophole for many years. Real highly skilled workers from other countries with even Ph

Well, Long March 7 made its inaugural flight on June 25, 2016 while Falcon 9 did it back in Oct 2012. It is not surprising that Falcon 9 had more flights given that NASA had contracts with SpaceX to ship stuff to ISS where China is banned.

SpaceX hired all NASA's engineers and uses all NASA's technologies. China builds its technologies all by itself, given that the US banned any collaboration in space program with China. You bet that SpaceX launched a few more than

Agreed. The current system has been abused by Indian out-sourcing companies such as TCS, Infosys. The vast majority of highly skilled workers cannot get H-1B visas at all.

Agreed. Last time US president met the tech CEOs, Nadella lobbied directly to the President about H-1B visas. Let alone all those lobbyists hired by Microsoft in DC. Microsoft alone spent more than $8 Million in lobbying in 2016.

All these jobs will be replaced by cheap Indian H-1B visa holders very soon.

The problem with rate limiting is to distinguish a normal user from a spammer. A normal user can send more requests than usual sometimes. If a normal user gets rate-limited by mistake, you are going to get lots of upset users.
