- viraptor 3y agoFyi, on mobile the image doesn't load and the download link is broken.
- mkl 3y agoLoads fine for me on Firefox Android (but I don't get which sentence is supposed to sum up Twitter).
- furyofantares 3y agoI see a giant circle around like 10 sentences, none of which feel like the sum up twitter in any way? After some consideration I guess maybe you're referring to "What's happening?"
- shawnc 3y agoFair enough - the sentence in question was indeed 'What's Happening?'
- LexiMax 3y ago> "What's happening?" That's a very good question.

- dcunit3d 3y agoYour 14 y/o daughter is fired. I tried to point this out below. It's not even a DDoS, it's fake news. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36561808 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36561808 it's a 429 error, so the developer who posted this is an idiot. they're not even wrong. the 429 doesn't even touch twitter's infrastructure. the HTTPS TLS terminates at a Google VM, which gets relayed depending on the VIP used to hit it, but the traffic never gets past that Google VM. This is literally /HOW/ companies deal with DDOS. https://blog.twitter.com/engineering/en_us/topics/infrastructure/2019/expand-the-edge https://blog.twitter.com/engineering/en_us/topics/infrastruc... it's unbelievable that my median salary for the past decade is $3,000 after several years of "Startup" followed by "How to Start a Reboot of My Life"
