Realistically, this is why you pay for Akamai. You don't get these shenanigans.

How the fuck were they still on a $250 dollar a month plan when they pumped through $2000 a month worth of traffic? That's shady on the companiy's part and Cloudflare shouldn't have allowed it to happen in the first place.

Each party played their part here and did shitty things. Sounds like the tech equivalent of a crackhead arguing about selling stuff to the pawn shop employee.

Poor markmanship.

The Mozilla Foundation does such important work to ensure standards across the Internet, and keeping the monopolies on their toes. This is another shining example of just that.

Quantifying monopolistic behavior from major tech companies is important. This needs to be documented before changes can happen.

As an operator, this who thread reads like a bunch of devs who don't understand networking and refuse to learn.

Sure, for smaller applications or small dev teams it doesn't make sense. But for so many other things it does.

They absolutely should have outlined a traffic limit for the $250 a month plan. That's on Cloudflare for allowing it.

That said, if you make wildly excessive use of that loophole it probably shouldn't surprise you if they do something like this. They called it "trust and safety" because it allows them to do anything they want under the guide of security.

Really, they didn't define their service clearly and wanted to fire them as a customer unless they paid up for what they felt they were owed.

Jim Farley has been quite open about EVs - and he's been conducting hands-on market research. He's done podcasts on the topic.

I don't know why everyone grabs their pitchforks for this - they're trying to address competition to modernize their offerings.

I grew up backpacking those woods. December is dangerous even for experienced outdoorsmen. I'm going to guess they were not dressed appropriately, and didn't have any means of navigation outside of cell phones. There is zero cell service in the area. It's very easy to get turned around even with navigation there.

Be prepared and know what you're getting into before you go off the grid folks.

I see 803 forks currently, keep up the good work!

Giant shirtless executioners then, I guess.

I'd prefer quick no value to long no value.

Judging from the fact that Oregon, Washington and Colorado are not seeing deaths reduced my thought is no.

But it should still happen.

I take comfort in the fact that Oracle hasn't been able to release new products. They're basically a legal team wrapped around their existing software.

That said, fuck this guy.

They literally have manufacturing facilities in the US as well due to the IBM acquisition. This article seems to gloss over the reality of them being globally diverse for a while.

HP and Dell manufacture more in PRC.

https://xkcd.com/327 the original is even better :)

I like how people assume they bought them to make games instead of buying them to eliminate the competition.

They know, they just don't give a shit beyond short term gains.

It's the tolerance paradox. We can tolerate all except the intolerant.

Website is amazingly responsive as well, seems to be working.

Same. I have yet to see anyone implement a true 15 minute standup.

If the backdoor exists, it will be abused.

Also, that relies wholely on trusting the manufacturers to not mine your data when they have the ability to collect it.

Please levy the largest fine imaginable for this spyware without consent. Because I know my country won't fucking do it.
