> Publicly chastising another company you do business with? Unnecessary. I think this makes more sense for strategic business partners. In the Cloudflare-Okta case I'd wager that their relationship is fairly transactional.

I haven't read the book, but the quotes do really read as timeless. I was in my early teens during dot-com era, but without a PC yet and still an "internet virgin". One question that really tickles my curiosity is how much th

I still maintain this naive belief that all of math is elegant, and from that perspective 13 sides sounds and looks oddly specific and feels contrived to me, at least without knowing specificities of the field. Where do 13 sides come from?

IIRC, on Darknet Diaries podcast they shared that one of the approaches is that someone comes to a location that services T-Mobile customers and has T-Mobile terminal (not necessarily a T-Mobile brand boutique shop). They come with a random

I think it depends :) Back when texting (SMS) was still a big thing, you had a choice to either write in English letters and enjoy 140 char limit per message or write in Cyrillic and have it reduced to 70 chars. Many were doing the former.
