Agreed. I've always felt my best managers were "air cover". As you say: shield those below from the worst of the management, but still let everyone (in both directions) know what's going on.

Oracle announced in a post published last year that they plan to deprecate the Java browser plugin in JDK 9. Since JDK 9 should be coming in July, it’s imperative that developers find an alternative. "Na na na na, hey hey, goodbye"

This will make a huge...
Actually, it will be a minor improvement, but only indirectly, so it's absolutely well worth all the noise and kerfuffle that's going to ensue, after the announcement.

Current law on the US government's legal right to reach into the world's servers is vague at best. To be safe, store all your data on Europa

Russia and China "reach into the world's servers"... so why not the US too?

..so, if the Russians have a similar law, wouldn't that make hacking 'legal' from their point of view?

There's a difference between what the US is trying to do, get a court order to compel a company to hand over data from an overseas location (where doing so without a local court order is illegal); and the hacking the Russia's accused of doing.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Ah, so a US court says it's OK.

Two different cases. As I understand it, the Microsoft case concerns a foreign national whose data is stored on a server outside the US. The Google case concerns a US citizen whose data is stored outside the US. Seems to me that avoiding a subpoena by transferring electronic data to another jurisdiction is highly questionable.
I suspect that both decisions will be upheld.

|

|

Fair enough, and that definitely explains the two decisions.
Me, I'm still storing my data on Europa. Or a replica (Canada ) whenever possible.

Scientists at the Center for Artificial Low Dimensional Electronic (CALDES), within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) are aiming to find innovative ways at achieving a more stable transmission of information. I'll let someone who understands it make the joke about this one
Besides, autocorrect keeps messing up whenever I type solutions.
