Housing prices are rising dramatically even where populations are declining and land is abundant. It's not as simple as saying there's a housing shortage due to zoning.

Can someone provide a tl;dr that specifically explains why this is going to harm the site? I know there were some communications problems with third party clients, but from my reading of the announcement it just sounds like they're goi

Will you be using PagerDuty or another competitor to monitor your own service? I always wonder what these companies use... or if they rely on their own service. And if so, then if their service breaks how would they know?

That's a dramatic over-simplification. You have redundant / clustered firewalls that allow for testing configuration changes before they're deployed everywhere so you never end up in a situation where you have to "fail c

Some people would pay extra to not have the UI change every couple of years. As someone who no longer regularly uses Windows it drives me nuts to try to find anything in their web apps or settings interfaces.

Doesn't that leave you wondering if the answer it gave you for certificate based auth is accurate? How do you verify?
