At the same time The Pirate Bay and several other torrent-related sites disappeared offline. Although no official statement has been made, TF sources confirm action against TPB. This is not the first time that this has happened.

Exactly what do you mean is backdoored?
This is a protocol for signing a certificate and anyone can view their proposal: https://github.com/letsencrypt...

Irrelevant.
The "certificate authority that issues free certificates to any website" can actually be one or many of the CAs that is popular today. This is just a new protocol for the way to get a certificate signed by one of these CAs. So if some CA issues as a cert to the NSA for your domain right now there is nothing here that prevents that CA for doing it when using this new protocol.

I have done some intranet based applications with node.js in past. Also I have used redis in my other projects. As I have read the book, I acquired knowledge of socket.io, rabbitmq which I had not used earlier.

This book covers topic like handling CSRF (Cross Site Request Forgery), Login with Social Media Accounts (Google,Facebook) using passport.js, Demo Server starting with Python, Session handling, front end tools integration with bower (package manager) etc which are useful in real world business applications.

I have not digged fully with Dom handling with Backbone and React chapter, where I have replaced my frontend with Angular.js.

At the end of the book, there are two extremely helpful chapters like – Javascript Development best practices and debugging and troubleshooting of javascript application.

9:42 may be good enough for the masses but for the elite only 13:37 will do. [...]

13:37 would be a horrible timestamp to use in US ads. Some people would actually discard the product since it is a 24 hour clock instead of 12 hour AM/PM.

No need. FRA will not just monitor email, sms and telephone traffic -- they will also monitor "normal" surfing. This is a much simpler way to (perhaps) trigger some alarms:
