It's still a big win because it prevents subverting the underlying system. Logs still tell the truth. Security software keeps running. The damage can be inspected with the operating system's tools.

The whole point of an agreement is that it sets out what parties will do for each other, and what happens if there is a breach. Apple could already do things with the App Store without needing to agree to something to get Apple to let Apple

The article mentions the three remaining operational satellites. Generally, you use space hardware until it dies, which is hopefully well beyond the design life.

But it's not. How much you can soak up of clients actively trying to handshake and request resources is going to be different from how much of bulk traffic. How much traffic you can soak up in one place (e.g. saturating your peering

Capacity isn't a number, like you have 48 units of internets. You need an entity with peering, pipes, and request rates big enough in the right places.

Still not sure what you're saying: A) everyone inflates-- in which case, you want to be with the entity with the biggest pipes. Also, of course, we have reasonable estimates about how much traffic everyone can exchange. B) non-CF play

Cloudflare has the biggest scale and is arguably best positioned to soak up massive attacks. Therefore CF may have a unique incentive to make it sound like attacks are larger and there are more really big ones.

It's like 4 per 100k kids per year from ages 0-19, but a pretty high portion of that initial incidence is in elementary school ages -- so 1 per 1500 or so over the elementary to middle school years. And that's just leukemia. Betw

The problem is, there's around 2^62 double precision numbers between 0 and 1, but they're not uniformly spaced-- there's many, many more between 0 and 0.5 (nearly 2^62) than there are between 0.5 and 1 (around 2^52), for inst
