Well, nothing for analytics or the like. By why would they automagically scan your email and the like if they aren't serving ads? Personally, I don't care how much data anyone has on me as long as it isn't someone capable of

I'm curious why people don't pay for Google Apps. Its cheap enough and basically turns off the Ads and at least some of the data collection. http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/terms/premier_term

> You asserted that crimes where the police might need to barge in without knocking in order to prevent destruction of evidence are most likely nonviolent crimes. In fact, that kind of situation is almost exclusively drug crime, and the

If that is what it does, they should have clearly stated that in the article. Instead, its in a completely separate press release :/ EDIT: Its apparently stated here: http://www.marketwired.com/press-release/White-

Then maybe he should invest in making sure the PR quotes him accurately?

I don't care how well known he is. If that quote is accurate, he is peddling something that is known to not work in practice for the more sophisticated botnets.

How many use Selenium specifically? No. It was just a random example that was intended to not point in an easily weaponized direction. I figured it was both common and known in tech circles that Flash/Javascript executing botnets for a

No? You just don't do it for the pot dealer down the street. Instead, you wait for him to leave and break in to get what you need. Preferably in a way that isn't visible from the street so you can arrest the guy before/after.

1) And how does raiding their place when they aren't there for evidence somehow result in this violence you speak of? 2) You think the people in this article were "hard drug ring members"? http://www.ajc.com/n

by opendais 12y ago
Yes. A non-swat approach is pretty simple: Observe the location in an unmarked police car and wait for the suspect to leave, then enter to acquire the evidence. No confrontation required. There is no real urgency that justifies a raid when

Yes, but it also includes email support. There are plenty I can get Live Chat and/or 15min email responses out of. That is all I really require to do business with an infrastructure provider. SaaS, I'd be fine with business hour

This is truly awful. The sheer lack of restraint involved in this raid is sickening. :/

Mhm, I can do DNS load balancing now with any provider. DO's main competition atm with price parity is Linode which provides single-dc HA load balancers. If I want to pay more I can use AWS, GCP, Azure, etc that also offer them. ;) I

by opendais 12y ago
Fair enough. I've never worked on that sort of thing so to me downtime == $$ lost. I need a load balancer for anything more than a hobby project as a result. The one thing I can't find anywhere is truly multi-DC load balancers as

Tbh, given DO's price point, I think EBS would be more support headache than its worth. Cloudfront & S3 [or equiv] you can already get elsewhere and it doesn't really impact the setup. DO really, really badly needs highly avai

Eh? VMs. If you run at near-max load: If nothing else you should have a staging environment and that can be your second cluster too. We are talking about Heroku here, they are more expensive than EC2 so you can get away with this on sim

In fairness to Brian, I think you are flipping to the opposite extreme which isn't really valid either. Especially here: > Puppet? I am sorry but Puppet, chef and their ilk are horrible, who knows what state any machine is ever
