You've found a kind "trap street". This disambiguates the error message generated from Fastly vs the error message generated from an origin which happens to use varnish as well. Edit: As to why Fastly wants to expose the rela

Cheers. Didnt mean to be too contrarian here or pick apart the broader message, which I absolutely agree with. More of an expression of my personal experience struggling with the same problem. As unsatisfying as it is I suspect you settle f

I'm a principal at AWS and spent years dealing with this on CloudFront and Route 53. A lot right, and a little off, in the post. Yes, we should definitely communicate to the viewer what's happened and appropriate next steps if any

This seems like reporting of yet another principal/agent conflict when using third parties? The drivers end up with perverse incentives to circumvent the principals instructions when theyre ambiguous or conflicting. Disappointed but no

The US has similar capital gains exclusions and roll overs on primary residences. The transfer (“stamp”) taxes of 1-4% of the sale aren’t directly comparable. However most US locations do have property value taxes of 1-3% per year . Closer

Not relevant. The US Army Corp & DNR studied this in the 50s and 60s. It’s not feasible to get water from the Columbia, eel, or Klamath rivers to central or Southern California. As parent mentioned there are too many mountain ranges in

Just an FYI 2-5 denotes the chapter (or section) and page. This is super common in technical manuals where sections are grouped based on content, then the page refers to the page number in that particular section.

You making a lot of assumptions that arent born out by current experience. Its not uncommon for 100 year old cars to be registered and driven on public roads today. I personally have registered “daily drivers” from the 1970s and 80s. I actu

No problem. As a follow up I stumbled across this 2010 article which re-examines (and confirms most of) Reisners comments 25 years after his publication. https://www.pnas.org/content/107/50/21263
