Well one of the interesting ways the interconnected world could develop is by applications politely asking for access. We just have to define politely. IP isn't the connected world it's just what we have now. There were other protocols, there can be others in the future. The fact that we have lots of things things wired'ish together is an opportunity for growth.
Think the address space argument is not really the main point here. My reading of Geoff Huston's main points are that the architecture of the protocols available currently (v4, v6, UDP, TCP, IP, DNS etc etc.) are limiting the networks to client initiated (mostly), client server interaction when there could be other richer modes. And that the current situation is being kept that way by numerous vested interests. Given it's something I've be arguing (to anyone who would listen) for a while, I tend to agree with him :) However, I do think that there are other ways we could use our wonderfully connected world that would be of benefit to us all. In the same way that the internet isn't just the world wide web, the connected world doesn't have to just be the internet.
That's exactly what British courts do. Not necessarily for the institutions that you mentioned but for many other agreements between governments and companies around the world. Justice handled by an independent and trusted third party is a very common part of agreements and contracts and Brittish courts are frequently the first choice for arbitering disagreements.
Yes it was, oh the irony. However, as I have mentioned before, and garnered a lot of down votes for my efforts, the EU commission will take every opportunity to to be an awkward and spiteful neighbor as any country leaving the EU is a direct threat to their power and they have to show that it not a thing you would want to consider.
I look on with interest to the events in Poland. I suspect that the Polish government has calculated that they can get away with riding rough shod over the founding principles and laws of the EU at this juncture as the commission will not want to do what they should and kick them out of the club. Mainly for the reasons I mentioned above. The fine is just window dressing.
Looking in my crystal ball, it seems that it might be a very interesting time for the EU over the next few years. Interesting in a not so comfortable way.
Yay, what happened to all the Nuclear Winter Sooth Sayers. They seem to have gone a bit quiet recently despite nothing much changing of the worlds nuclear weapons posture. Remember the next ice age is coming warnings in the early nineteen seventies but I guess the global warming threat has solved' that one. Also the various biological and chemical world disasters of which covid-19 is just a pale shadow, they used to be a big thing. Just can't have enough life threatening world disasters to worry about. Almost as if there might be some advantage to be gained from scaring the shit out of the great unwashed public.
Perhaps I should just duck and cover.
Having worked in a secret squirrel site, in what feels like a different lifetime ago, our TEMPEST teams were most concerned about the terminating connector as that was were most of the leakage came from. They were only really bothered about individual terminals as that where the most coherent data might be leaking into the world and not the data centres. They considered it nigh on impossible to get any meaningful data over the air from there as there was so much chatter from all of the various pieces of equipment. That and the fact that they were in Faraday shielded bunkers.
Hum, I think that as soon as you get your satellite/comms relay going faster that about 11Kmsec-1 you no longer are in earth orbit but in some orbit around our sun (as long as you stay below about 615Kmsec-1). Lots of craft have done this. Kinda a prerequisite to visit places other than earth (moon excepted). As for getting a bit of delta V to go into an orbit not on the ecliptic, as as been pointed out, a funky planetary fly by can achieve this. Not too hard but maybe not required yet.
Would that be the criminal behavior of a Chinese based company based out of Hong Kong using a subsidiary to trade with Iran in contravention of US law? I find it a bit of a stretch to argue that it's criminal. Irritating for the US regime admittedly in that the normal bullying tactics didn't have the desired effect, but hardly criminal in anything other that a Team America sort of way.
The point that you are learning how to program in several different programming paradigms which teaches you how to think about problems in different ways. After that, you can pick up other syntaxs relatively easily and you have a better understanding in general of differing languages strengths and weaknesses.
If there is a job that requires language X or Y for it's products, then the employer has some responsibility to provide relevant training.
That is, if your like me and expect our education system to actually educate rather than turn out programing drones.
Well since we were a founding member of and signatory to Luango (which include some non-EU states) up until we left the EU and nothings substantively changed so why shouldn't we apply to rejoin after Brexit? Oh, I remember, the EU commission has got to use every bureaucratic leave available to it, to be a right pain in the ass.
