Paul foresaw the Golden Path, but I don't think that was until after the jihad in the second book. That's why he went off to the desert isn't it? He took the path and was trapped by it.

Cloudflare has always been different than a generic CDN - their tagline is "The Web Performance and Security Company". Most of their features are focused on those things, and they don't really support video streaming / e

My thoughts exactly - if I felt they burned me over $2k on my personal account they'd quickly lose a couple orders of magnitude more than that on corporate.

Apple's stance on IAP isn't unknown, Spotify fought them and eventually just started charging a 30% premium on iOS subscriptions. Hey could do the same thing and likely will, but a public fight in the meantime is generating buzz.

From my layman’s view, they argued that the existing law did not cover sexual orientation, while the 6 argued that “on the basis of sex” does despite lawmakers making no mention of it in the bill. That’s not such a wild stretch, but it is r
