Again, "full stack optimisations" cost money, if there's not the money to throw more machines against it (which is often, though not always, cheaper than dev time) then there's not likely to be the money for extensive de

Just to underline the fundemental-ness of having kids I mentioned above, in the EU we have enshrined in law the right to "start a family" [1] as a recognised human right. [1] Article 12 of the European Convention on Human Rights

As far as I can see at the moment it's just been dismissed as a fake by the people who allegedly sent/received it, and they would deny it, regardless. That does put Dotcom on the back foot and with a burden of proof, but it's
