That is until the multi-billion dollar lobbyists decide to push for VPN bans in Congress because only terrorists and child pornographers need privacy like that. Basically what's already happening in China, Russia, and the UK.

Anyone have good links or articles for DB comparisons to get a better understanding of which DB fits best for what type of projects?

So far I've gathered from here is that I want Postgres if going for a SQL DB, MariaDB as a MySQL drop-in, Redis for a simple NoSQL cache DB, RethinkDB for real-time applications (if project is still ongoing), and then there's CouchDB, CockroachDB, Cassandra, etc. which I still need to look in to.

They're really pushing this Disney partnership in our faces here... Mickey, Toy Story, and that Star Wars VR thing.

Edit: They just did a Pirates of the Caribbean demo on the iPad...

I dropped Netflix back when they decided to blacklist VPN IP addresses. Using a VPN address for my own country was pretty much the only way I would be able to access content without it being throttled or manipulated by my ISP.

Then they went ahead and worked with T-Mobile on Binge-On where they would throttle speeds and cap the resolution to 480p on their network which was also a troubling sign.

Unfortunately the outrage and backlash wasn't enough then as the CEO brushed it off as only a very small minority that would actually cancel over net neutrality concerns like these so it didn't make much difference.

And unfortunately, here we are today, where I'm worried it still won't make a difference.

Does anyone know the legality of putting the DRM free pdf files into a public Dropbox folder? Not sure what copyrights or licenses still apply if I decide to buy these and share this with other people.

Is this the one that forked off BitCoin due to differences centered around how it didn't make its investors/founders enough money?

From the last thread they pointed out: "Zcash's monetary base will be the same as Bitcoin's — 21 million Zcash currency units (ZEC, or ⓩ) will be mined over time. 10% of that reward will be distributed to the stakeholders in the Zcash Company — founders, investors, employees, and advisors. We call this the “Founders Reward”."

It's nice to have a currency with more security and privacy features in mind but I would be extremely wary of compromises like this for that achievement.

They use some sort of proprietary streaming .hls that for some reason doesn't support third-party browsers (DRM?) and Microsoft supports it but only wants it to be available in their Edge browser.

I had this exact same issue with my work machine and my at home workstation. Wifi adapter completely broken, I tried to revert back to Windows 8 on my work machine and it gets stuck on a black screen for over 24 hours. I tried to power down to restart it but no luck. Somehow everything got corrupted. Had to completely reformat the drive and install the operating system all over again, which it then proceeded to upgrade straight to Windows 10 again. I lost months of work but was able to recover from a backup I had a week prior to the incident. Absolutely disgusting business practice by Microsoft. The only times where a Windows 10 installation has worked well for me is when it's a brand new machine with little to no extra content on top of the existing OS. If you've used Windows 7 or 8 for over a year and accumulated a fair amount of apps, files, content, I can almost guarantee you're going to run into something breaking after the update.
