The problem is that would require the value of the company to crash down to its actual value (some reasonable revenue multiple).

The thesis of that blog seems to be that Cloudflare should be censoring content and deciding who gets to have websites on the internet.

Just to point out, this is apparently a cert used for communicating between Cloudflare's services which has (presumably) been replaced. Cloudflare customer's certs weren't exposed.

You are essentially arguing against freedom of speech. Cloudflare will protect any site that doesn't host child porn. Yes that includes things which you don't like, but it also includes all the things you do.

The conflict here is that humans are animals, and animals evolved to use the minimum amount of energy possible to satisfy their needs. Yes you can learn the reward of willfully working hard, but I'm not sure whether everyone, or even

Yes, as long as you don't hit anything or care about the time dilation you will experience.

There is a reason people use Dropbox not Apache to share files. Unless you can explain why that is, I'm not sure what criticizing their open source work achieves.

Making fun of people is not a good way to learn about them or work with them. We all learn this in grade school, but we seem to forget it when we talk on Twitter or on TV. If your presupposition before entering a conversation is that the

I generally wouldn't criticize someone's situation, but he decided to make this a political argument. He bemoans the government deciding that 11 million people not having health insurance was more important than his right to not h

Often when competitors are expensive it's for a reason. Occasionally you'll have stumbled onto an old industry where tech can disrupt things and lower costs, but for cloud-based image serving, everyone is essentially using the sa

As a general rule things are moving into the browser because that is the point closest to the user where the most interactivity is possible. It's simply not possible to provide the desktop-like experience of a modern web app when you

Depends on the specific service. Some are priced a % above cost (S3), others are priced a % below competition (data transfer), others are priced based on value (ML, text-to-speech, etc.).

Sure, but the courts enforce the constitution, not congress.

In general to be a business person or investor is to want some semblance of the modern order to stand. Without some predictability and consistency it's very hard to build any sort of business or generate wealth.

Just to provide a counter point, I find it much simpler to work with SPAs. You can build a clean API which only deals with JSON, and ship a separate frontend which is deployed reliably to a CDN. I can see why 'one thing' would s

The regen built into pedals feels strange to people not used to it. As does the regen which activates when you lift your foot off the gas. This was not done because they're incompetent, it was done to create a car which is more intui

It's very true that how hard you work doesn't correlate directly with success. That said, learning how to work hard is one of the best things you can do to become successful. Once you master that, you then have to learn from eac

If you think Amazon doesn't pay well, I think it's a better practice to just mentally add $1 or $2 to the price of what your ordering and call it the tip, rather than stiffing the drivers. If you can't afford it with tip, yo

Who does it serve? Using other peoples money might allow you to grow your business faster improving the economy. I might agree if you divide it by industry, oil and gas mining or finance has a higher rate.

This is a much simpler rocket than the Falcon 9. For one, it's suborbital. Its flights are so much simpler than the full orbital injections and hypersonic reentries the Falcon flies. A quick list of things Blue Origin hasn't don

Assuming you're paying people 60k a year, 500 million dollars buys you full-time employment for over eight thousand people for a year. Unless the deliverable was two thousand well produced videos, I have to agree.
