If want to know why Internet Voting won't work, you should watch Alex J. Halderman's talk at the 31c3 conference about internet voting in Estonia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JY_pHvhE4os
Very interesting talk at Blackhat about the numerous security vulnerabilities CCTV cameras have such as hard coded master passwords in firmware: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaI0xjeefpg

I wonder what the user experience will be since a good experience relies on content loading quickly through CDNs. Netflix mainly uses AWS, Akamai, Limelight and Level 3 along with its own CDN to deliver content. The majority of the new countries do not have local CDN edge nodes. (This is super frustrating when developing for African and some Asian countries)

It seems Netflix has an uphill battle ahead with regards to content licensing and content delivery.

This is neat tool especially for people like me who run custom web servers or web server software that is not supported by the Let's Encrypt client.
