Most DDoS attacks are not home connections with extremely limited upload speeds anymore. They are now reflected DNS attacks coming from legitimate DNS servers.

Done both ThrustVPS and BuyVM. ThrustVPS: bought it, selected Debian 6. VPS stopped booting. Then they tell me that it doesn't work so I get them to install Ubuntu instead. 1 week later it goes down due to "network issues". (probably for se

As someone who has tried more than 20 deals from lowendbox, the downtime and performance is completely unsuitable for anything requiring uptime. They are fine if you are using it for DNS, VPN, backup, or a blog you don't care much about. Ma

If it isn't based on family registration records then what is it based on? If there's one thing people know about the Japanese, it is how much they like to save face.

Isn't it illegal at the federal level? Maybe report it to the DEA?

In theory maybe. In practice, makers are different people from polishers, and Valve's system of hiring the "best" (people with impressive CVs) and salaries based on stack ranking means there is a huge bias towards makers (Who brought the co

There are no bosses at Valve and they have a stack ranking system deciding how much money you make. This means people there don't do unglamorous things like maintenance and stability fixes.

Google charts is noticeably laggy at around 200+ data points. You can take a look here. https://www.google.com/finance HighCharts/Stock is magnitudes faster.

Now this might just be my opinion, but considering many of the people I know in the technology field have a disposable income of around $1k/month, I don't think there's very many people that would throw away 20% of it on an image dump. If y

If he is as really rich as you suggest it seems odd to me that he would complain about Cloudflare and not have rented a 100 TB server sooner. They are not exactly difficult to find. Whether he can tell us if he is rich or found another way

You couldn't monetize it yet you can spare $200/month?

But all the incumbents have to do is lower their price just a little bit lower than Google, and Google will never make a return on the billions spent on infrastructure. That is why Google doesn't really want to become an ISP.

Let me guess what else. - Military or government service. - Join a company that will pay you to get the degree (likely only from a company that requires a top degree) - A field of study that no one ever chooses. If not feel free to share so

I think everyone is aware of that by now. Someone brings it up every time tuition comes up. Given their acceptance rates, this is not an option for even a majority of HN readers.

The way I took it is that his degree was valuable to him because he participated in the overpriced college market, the very thing he is criticizing.

I thought this comment there summed up the entire article succinctly. A contrarian comment based on the interestingly paradoxical fact that our sub-20K PhD found his path to happiness (if, indeed, that's what heading the American Enterpris

I don't have Prime but I have shopped at Amazon a few times. However, I don't think I will be a "loyal" customer due to a recent incident. There was a sale going on for a particular item, so I logged in and bought it. However I didn't see t

I was evaluating both languages recently, and the biggest distinction is that Erlang does context switching per "reduction" or function call while Go does context switches only when a go-routine explicitly yields or a message is sent/receiv

I think your point is lost here. Most people here are self-made millionaires and entrepreneurs that believe everyone else just doesn't try hard enough.

When you can buy something instantly with paypal on a competitor's site, it is too slow.

If you ignore the anarcho-capitalism fanatics, you can see bitcoin has its uses. It is great for international trade without having to use Paypal. And there are no chargebacks. The big problem with Bitcoin is that it is really slow to verif

Do you really need to wait until law enforcement to do anything about it? This seems to me like CloudFlare doesn't really care. Don't you know that most law enforcements ignore DDoS attacks when the damage isn't done to a million/billion do

CloudFlare's goal is to power a better Internet. While that will inherently mean we will increasingly find ourselves in difficult situations like this one, we will continue to be guided by the principle that it is not our role to decide wh

Most people are constrained by price, so it is a factor in what is best/worst. That is why both articles refer to the "best" being expensive and "worst" being cheap.

I don't think they are both right. It is very easy to find a situation where they are wrong that most HN readers can understand: CPUs. The cheapest and most expensive CPUs are usually the worst in terms of Performance/Price. This pricing sc

How do you order from online.net? It keeps on saying: Erreur : Vous ne pouvez accéder à cette page tant que la console est en phase de beta.

That's contrary to what we experienced. We had a UDP flood from an OVH server, and they said they contacted the customer to fix this issue. I checked the IP and it was still running a splash page. A couple days later we were attacked again
