I have plenty of friends who went down that path. They’ve done very well as lawyers. But suffice it to say that if offered they’d readily trade places.

I’ve told it elsewhere. Some Googling around may turn it up.

Those 8 years were painful. To make money, I worked as a bartender, an LSAT test prep instructor, as an adjunct law professor at a law school that was so bad it doesn’t exist anymore. I remember 4am at the bar in Chicago where I worked, cle

Had the dotcom bubble not burst I’d likely be an attorney. I’d accepted an offer at a law firm in San Francisco to work in their Securities practice, largely taking companies public or doing M&A. In March of 2000, the firm called and sa

We’d be happy to support Reddit on our free tier. I doubt we’d actually be able to measure the increase in bandwidth costs if they were to onboard.

No problem with gaming & gambling where it’s legal. Lots of problems where 1) it’s illegal; and 2) a customer sets up lots of free accounts to get around local ISP blocks and gets big ranges of our IPs blocked causing significant collat

What’s somewhat complicated here is its apples and oranges. Cloudflare offers DNS and a proxy service. The OP is using both. The comparisons are merely DNS services. I wasn’t clear on X whether OP was getting confused that the IP we return

You do? You’ve spent more time here commenting than some of the people who got paid under Project Jengo. #odd

You’re… wrong. Massively wrong. And I say that literally as the guy who approved the comparative budgets.

Yup!

You don’t still consult your Encarta CD-ROM? How do you ever figure out what’s what?

Thousands, technically.

It’ll be back when we get sued by a troll again. We’ll get as many submissions. We’ll kill another troll. We’ll pay another round of bounties. We’ll not pay patent search agents like you. And life will go on. Don’t worry. Your job is safe.

The fascinating thing for me about this comment, and why I find myself weirdly obsessing over it, is how wrong it is about human nature and why we do things. There’s a small set of things we get paid for. There are a lot of other things we

I’m sorry we’ve shown that going to law school is less valuable than some may have thought. My parents had that angst too when I decided not to practice law after going to law school myself. It worked out.

“You didn’t pay enough to my view of experts, but you won, but you could have won and paid more, and that’d be better.” That’s your argument? Just to be clear? And, note, this strategy has worked pretty (cost) effectively for us before: ht

I’ve not encountered another critter like you. But here you are: a lawyer cum HN poster who believes there are infinite opportunities for your skills and that your skills are infinitely accretive. Odd. Perhaps you are this magical being I c

Proof is in the pudding, as they say. I've been astonished by the quality of the submissions we've received the times we've fired up Project Jengo. And it's helped us successfully beat — and literally put out of business

Having talked with several of them, most of the people who submit the prior art as part of Project Jengo would do so even if there were no payout. Several winners have actually asked that the payout be donated back to other organizations fi

We don't use ReCaptcha and haven't for many years. If it looks like a Cloudflare page but it has ReCaptcha on it, it's a fake.

For standard, legal web traffic Cloudflare will always be free. If you’re using us for just that and anyone on our sales team ever pressures you to upgrade, email me because it’s an explicit violation of our policies. Sales people are human

It matters still in so far as if you turn this feature on your site will continue to work as expected even with Polyfill[.]io offline.

Oh… drones are a really devious idea. You can imagine all sorts of political messages that someone may want to leverage an event like this to broadcast.

Also wonder if there’s a buffer overflow attack or some command that could cause them to get stuck flashing rapidly or something that would be really annoying. Surprised by the lack of encryption or any security on devices like these. For a

Which begs the question: how hard is it to build a 30W, portable IR spotlight that you could get through a concert’s metal detector unnoticed?

I still wonder if it would be possible for a rogue concert goer to hijack a side of the stadium to display something. All sorts of trouble you could cause.
