This should be followed by a speech from a US official bragging about internet freedom and equal access to knowledge. Seriously, instead of starting projects like Google Proxy (to help people in these countries bypass their government block

US Sanctions are useless. they only affect the normal people, not the Governments or the people in power. I lived in Syria for some time and it is impossible there to buy/use online services (hosting, apps, payment processing etc ..)

I work for a major Arabic news channel and we had to deal with many incidents/attacks from the SEA. the amount of DDOS we had was really massive even the network firewall couldn't handle it. Most ips were located in Russia, Ukrain

The author is sweet, his conclusion was "always backup your data" if it was me I would probably say "I'm moving away, will never trust them again on my data" ..

I kinda liked the map more. I thought moving to this new hover layout was a business decision (e.g: get some clients to pay for being featured on top of the list as the map makes all listings have equal look/chance to be discovered). a

How would you differentiate the traffic coming form headless browsers from normal users ? with a proper user-agent and javascript enabled, isn't it almost impossible ?

What I would do is, just order a fresh new ip and point cloud flare to it. it is very difficult to find it and even the domain tools history will never know about it. if the DDoser is really willing to invest more on attacking me, then my b

That sucks. I have moved many websites recently from EC2 to Hetzner. what they offer is really impressive and the difference is clear (probably 5x more resources/power for 25% of the Amazon price). I guess I will still keep the server,

I like how people are getting creative about scrolling these days. A few years back no one though about hooking interactive animations to page scroll.

would any one be interested in purchasing an API subscription for this kind of service ? IMO, a pipeline of AI filters can be efficient to some extent.

Nice but I was wondering why would you develop anything on top of a deprecated (Google news) API ?

Sorry for the confusion, after verification with a Syrian Passport, they decided to completely close the account. This is not a new thing, we get this when we deal with banks, embassies, and other online services like hosting, ecommerce etc

This sounds like a special case of the secretary problem http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secretary_problem , where instead of envelopes you swap secretaries and additionally you have a time constraint. I find it very inte

1. With a provisioned iops the performance is almost identical to SSD, but yes probably I haven't done a side-to-side technical comparison. I only wanted to point out that I replaced one with the other and I had a good cut in cost. 2.

Based on a personal experience, I found that setting up a dedicated machine is way cheaper than using those services. I ended up replacing the following: - Mongodb on a EC2 instance instead of Dynamodb - EC2 Mysql instance instead of RDS -
