Cloudflare is in EdgeConneX Portland, you can try poking around but I haven't seen a RCA of what happened. Details are usually only shared with direct customers because it is bad for the brand. https://www.edgeconnex.com&#x2

You are correct, thank you. I've updated the post. Wolfram Alpha helpfully formatted it as "0.14" and I missed the cent sign. https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=%2431.5+billion+%2F+21%...

YouTube streamed 21,885,984,000,000 minutes of content in 2023 and made $31.5 billion, which works out to an average of $0.0014 cents per minute. If you'd be willing to pay more than that to watch videos I am sure they'd take your

A parameter was changed from '2AMBCgIQBg' to 'CgIIAdgDAQ%3D%3D' which is just the correct base64 encoding they should have been using the entire time. I don't think this was a hostile action by Google. An engineer p

Use the right tool for the job. The authors complaints seem to stem from not properly maintaining the supporting scripts in their project, which isn't at all a function of the language.
