Yeah my first reaction was it is government based and probably China. I know, we should keep building up their economy by manufacturing nearly everything there, that should stop them.
Over the long term, it will. An educated wealthy populace doesn't accept tyranny for long.
Except they don't know it is tyranny, just like Russia, they rely heavily on subtle propaganda to manipulate their population.

#84i'm sorry but... GitHub IS not GitHub are Examples: GitHub IS a web site. GitHub is a SAAS app. The only plural aspect to GitHub is its employees and they are not being DDoSed. The web site (singular) is. I'm not going to bother explaining the problems with "under DDoS" or the other issues with this sentence.

It would be really nice to get it to succeed. Decentralisation is almost always preferable.

GitHub is not meant for distributing dependencies. Maven Central on the other hand is, the difference being that it is mirrored and if repo1.maven.org goes down, it's not a big deal and your project can still be built and deployed.
.. until they become a target of a DDoS. Also, if GitHub is down you can still fetch your dependencies from somewhere else.
You have not understood the concept of 'mirrored'.

To some extent, most likely, yes. But my perspective on the PRC is that the powers that be know that they will only remain in power for as long as they can provide, or rather, the illusion of them providing, a continuous increase in wealth. This in part would be why information is key in China. Assange had a very positive view of it when he said "I often say that censorship is always cause for celebration. It is alwa…
You know, the implication of that for the U.S. is pretty disturbing.
