"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity"
- paulie_a 8y agoExcept when it is AT&T. Then you can just assume it was more malicious than you even originally thought
- jdironman 8y agoEqual parts malice and stupidity.
- Aissen 8y agoIt's stupidity, then malice as a cover-up.
- rando444 8y agoNo, that's not what malice means. Unless you're actually trying to say that AT&T has a grudge against Cloudflare and are only doing this to harm their company. This is something more like negligence or gross negligence.
- arbitrage 8y ago> only doing this to harm their company That's not wholly unthinkable as far as AT&T is concerned. They're historically a bad player.
- jjoonathan 8y agoHanlon's razor is dangerous. "Playing stupid" and its adult cousin "plausible deniability" trivially exploit the razor under adversarial conditions. That said, we agree on the probable cause of this particular issue.
