Why would you take your family to DDG? Not all users need to use the same toolset. If the parent comment is correct, and Google is targeting the "mass market" user, then wouldn't leaving your presumably less-tech friends and family with Google as their default search engine make your life easier? Just because Google is no longer the best fit for you doesn't mean DDG is the best fit for them.

Any reason to go with the ER-4P over the hf5 or hf3 product line, if I'm not looking for studio mastering grade audio reproduction?

Put another way, judged purely on niose reduction is there much difference between the ER-4P and the rest of the Etymotic product line?

I'd say best practices for Java shops should be to move the SSL termination to a proxy in front of the app server. This doesn't work if you're doing mutual TLS to authenticate users in your Java stack of course, and I'm sure there's a bunch of other use cases where you can't, and it would of course be ideal if Java could keep up with security. But given the state of the Java world, just drop in an TLS termination proxy wherever possible (nginx works great) and forget about doing it in Java.

It wasn't the initial jump that concerned me, it was the ass over teakettle action all down the rocks at the bottom that concerned me.
