   How many businesses are they having to "shut down without explanation" that it doesn't scale? I understand if this was something like not responding to a wrong charge/refund etc for one customer. But here we are talking

   They probably are quite similar. I never paid for anything on Medium though and usually clicked away as soon as they showed me their forced sign up page. It's not exactly the platform which I like here (Substack). It's the content

   Fair point and you are probably right. However, this is getting them a ton of bad press from pretty major players in the privacy world (Edward Snowden for example). This has high chances of a lot of people abandoning Apple products (I'

    How expensive is it to build android in the cloud? And how are the build times? Is it possible to do it on a local Mac mini instead or will that take too long to build?

    Big fan of the first point. I pretty much try my hardest not to put third party libraries for tiny features. Obviously there's gotta be a balance but I don't see a point in introducing massive bloated libraries for small features.

    Interesting. That seems to go against what Israel is reporting (one of the most vaccinated population if I remember right). And they are also using Pfizer & Moderna. > Recent data released by the Health Ministry shows that those who

    All the links have zero hits for the word "opinion" on the site. Try Ctrl + F, you won't find it. EDIT: 6 out of 7 don't have the opinion badge.

    Imo, all this Cuomo stuff is a huge distraction from the much bigger elephant in the room which people in power don't want to address. Back in March 2020, the American Health Care Association told Cuomo, Wolf, Murphy, Whitmer etc to st

    Israel is reporting the vaccine efficacy goes down by 50 percent in 3 months and down to 16 percent in 6 months. Now they are talking about a 3rd shot. If despite all this, the FDA somehow approves this, I doubt it will convince people. Thi

    To be fair, vast majority of those scientists also claimed the lab leak theory was impossible and a conspiracy theory and 1.5 year later flip flopped. If it was so easy to silence scientists on such an obvious issue, what else were the diss

    People who have already gotten covid infection are extremely unlikely to get it again and some reports are saying that they have stronger immunity than vaccinated ones. This is not the case for things like polio. Plus based on Israel, the v

    Do you solve it using the "Under Attack" mode on CF where it shows the "redirecting in 5 seconds" msg? I am curious how CF takes care of the DDOS.
