This is how you end up with a nationwide ban on IPv6. When traffic lights start flashing red, flow control valves in the water distribution system fail safe closed, and ATMs don't work people will quickly discover the correlation with

People hail CGNAT and IPv6 as the savior but don't realize you still need v4 addresses to make it work. CGNAT at scale functions by assigning a range of ports on a shared v4 address to a downstream customer. You can normally get betwee

I think these will go the way of the Zune and Windows Mobile, but the money and resources Microsoft is throwing at this will benefit the Apple ecosystem so I am happy about it. Yay for better Windows inside a VM on Mac support.

Both what? There is no definition other than running a workload "at the edge" near the requestor. This is like the owner of a restaurant with two locations in the same city calling themselves a nationwide chain. It is just a flat

Google was always better than Yahoo/Bing at dealing with webspam (whether Google can continue to beat current webspam is a different debate). Bing is happily traning on the things they don't know are bad results. Garbage in garbag

Please stop calling it "at the edge." You have seven locations all in highly developed Equinix datacenters. Edge means getting embedded into ISP networks, cell towers, smaller metros, etc.

Hey you should really check out fly.io if you want to run stuff on the edge. They have it pretty much figured out. FrankenPHP is also really good and probably a much smarter play than trying to get your code running under WebAssembly.

It's not that simple. Charge backs are a game of hot potato originating at the card issuing bank and making its way back to the merchant. If Stripe instantly pays out funds to a merchant and there is a charge back, they have to claw th

For any payment processor part of the fees you pay go to offsetting fraud (it is a cost just like servers or people). Instant payout is much riskier because if a bad actor is using Stripe to cash out stolen credit cards they have less time

No, it was absolutely about affordability and education. Pi was never about compute power, it was focused on a general purpose CPU that ran Linux and had I/O that enabled tinkering. They lost their way trying to cater to businesses tha

You should never actually use Route53 for your domains. Delegate a subdomain like cloud.yourcompany.net to R53 and use that.
