I think I had someone do the old sarcastic "remind me of this in one year" under one of my posts predicting technical doom for Twitter. Definitely a good one to revisit.

  Found it, in response to me saying Twitter was dead but it just didn't realise it yet a poster said "i'm favoriting this so i can come back to it, like that dropbox comment." Delicious.

  Yeh, except you're completely wrong. 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"
