Austria here: Pretty standard model. Uber driver gets a share of the profit. So that is not the same all over the EU.
Spain (I know this from a Friend): Pretty harsh regulations, no Uber at all.

I can vouch for (1) being correct since I am managing an HPC Cluster for a company right now. The way to to is modules.sf.net (or the newer and nicer Lmod which is Lua).
The usual need is for a multitude of versions being avaible and easily usable. This starts at the compiler level and goes up to stuff like I have 5 versions of Tool X. This needs Python 2.7.3 (yes exactly that version). Now make it easy for me to use it.
It has been my only touching point with TCL so far -- I. Don't. Like. It.
If I'd be the customer and people came to me to tell me "Of course we can do feature X but we also LIKE to do Y" what I hear is "We can do what you want for amount EUR x but we'd like to sell you something that costs EUR x+k".
So I'm not talking about the customer believing it's optional, I'm talking about the development teams themselves believing it's optional.
I't would sound a whole lot different to state "Sure we can do X. It's EUR x. This is what is necessary..." (the list of work packages would include refactoring, maybe worded in a way that is better understandable by my customers).
I'm going to spare you the the usual comparison to car makers or whatnot. I think the mistake is with ourselves to simply state that it is necessary and not optional to maintain quality. After all if you can take the risk of implementing features without maintaining a quality product isn't -- and thus loosing customers as implementing features only when maintaining quality -- and thus loosing customers to competitors who are willing to reduce quality for the other risk, and a possibly lower price for a single project or two?
Why o why does "investigated this technology" even imply that somebody (technical) looked at it?
Lead: Hey vendor, is your product secure?
Vendor: Sure it is. It helps people find products they want.
Lead: Aye! That's cool. Deal!
Vendor: Aye! Let's hand it off to the mere mortals to implement the plan...
Customer (formerly known as lead): Nice doing business with you. I like we have a relationship based on trust and honesty.

appearantly Google thinks it's Rails :)
What about running and maintaining it?
In other words: The services that are good enough to prevent eavesdropping are blocked, while the other services are "clear text" to the attacking party. Is that a possibility?
Is that somewhat correct?
You're kidding right? I thought that whole "devops" movement (call it what you like) was to get rid of the attitude of "other people's problem".
I live in environments that are (for the most part) regulated and demand by law that there is a strict separation between the people running and developing software, often open to interpretation is the 3rd role of people configuring the software.
The problem is that "I solve it..." just doesn't work. Either people solve it by working cooperatively together or it simply won't ever be deployed.
There's no such thing as a sysadmin problem, devops problem, developer problem. (No go downvote me for the tone of the next sentence) -- For me it's either get your ass moving, stand up, walk over to people and talk to them or get lost!
I was asking a few times how things were going and that I could need something that sounds like what they were building -- granted on a very informal level but still I asked and expressed my interested.
Problem was: They never came back to me and told me: Hey here's the stuff! Wanna try?
I can make up reasons why, maybe because I moved to another country to take a job, or after all they don't like me or whatever. To me it boils down to: I (as in "the potential customer") was asking how far the product was and never got a real answer.
My team has about 2000 Boxes to "operate"[1] and I manage only a single team. Totaling to about 100K servers with different DCs spread over the world.
I'd think anybody who gets this kind of offer should try to get a foot in the door. Even if the deal doesn't close people have heard about the stuff.
So the essence is to me: This one little slide where you see that sales/marketing was way under represented in the team. Hell guys I know! you can build stuff, but don't expect me (the customer) to keep asking and asking and asking for wether or not it suits you to send me something I can work with...
[1]: I currently live in an enterprise environment where DevOps or agile is still something new and not to be trusted!
Is that how american people phrase things? (On the bright side I now know that my native language isn't alone having very deep rooted problems when you try to be equally friendly -- its a lot easier to equally offend everyone...)
I fear nothing will change because a) there will never be relevant b) _standardised_ results and file formats (use with any consumer printer) c) DRMed results not any cheaper than the "real" thing. Or anu combination of those.
To me the real question is: Who is fighting (nationalities, companies, individuals)? AND: Are the combatants attacking who they think are their targets or just some enemy so that we are entering a circle where informational warfare is simply being carried out for the sake of being able to do it?
I can imagine one party going for another when indeed they have the same goals...
Of course "elsewhere" there are links in the text. But now the ranking is better and more likely to be found. So in the end it's a win for the spam blogs because now they get more hits/traffic.
What most people miss is that the list IS NOT AUTHORITATIVE.
Once you move outside the "comfort zone" (lacking better words) of this list the only thing that happens is that you have to reasonably explain the name to authorities.
This can be as simple as showing that the name was already used in another country (say the USA). This only leads to people thinking harder about naming their child "Brfxxccxxmnpcccclll mmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116"[1]

I don't see why one country in the posession of nuclear weapons is less a threat than any other.
Someone please explain that to me.
Especially since I know of only one (1) country that actually used nuclear weapons in war....
Just spent an hour with your game :)
(In case it's not clear, I think it's great and somewhat addictive, a few rough edges but really great)
Heck, those are great ideas! I'd like to write a tracking system that does everything possible to collect the data and uniquely identify the users! It doesn't sound that hard.
I wonder how many of those tracking companies find the "Privacy Awareness" articles actually to be very nice "How to better track your users" articles.
