He’s claimed DDoS before right after the purge. I’m pretty sure it was just the platform being crushed by normal traffic. I’m skeptical this isn’t just operating as funded.

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.

Don’t make me tap the sign

This is actually not the first year it’s been demoed. Last year it was just a proof of concept. It will take time to work the bugs out.

Seriously. I’ve never seen a convention so aggressively ignored. This isn’t the brilliant idea some think it is.

Not cool, Cruise is still employable.

Possibly faster as well.

Don’t check out the violin family… They don’t have sound holes, they have F- holes.

Question - what do you do when the site is hacked and your biometrics are compromised? Issue new ones?

You can validate that against user telemetry data expected from a browser.

I personally read this as “one quarter admit they did it to get people to quit”. If you think these folks are always transparent and honest, think again. They’re just trying to say whatever gets them the least amount of bad PR

This is effectively a layoff without benefits.

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

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.

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.

How much money has China invested in Africa?
