The way I read their complaint was that they should have something on their website to indicate they were down. Anyway, at the time they complained, the status page also already said that the issue was identified and a fix was being rolled

Ah, well in that case they already have that so no need to complain: https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/

I don't understand why companies simply don't have outages, it seems like it would be a lot less stressful.

Agreed, it’s like a big flashing neon sign that promises middle management a stage on which to act out all their worst impulses. It’s the exact opposite of “keep it simple and communicate with each other like humans.”

As a meta comment, this sort of verbal judo to put words in peoples mouths is really becoming common. Whenever I see a comment start with something like “It sounds like you are saying” I know I’m in for a wild ride.

I assume what you’re feeling is true but it’s a pretty unusual read on the memorial and I’m sure you’re right it is not a popular way to look at it. I suspect that’s why some people jump to assuming there’s some kind of secret agenda - actu

You’re probably right. Cartoons are weird.. uncanny valley stuff feels even weirder to me, but maybe doesn’t really matter.

Maybe you can set it aside as a tech demo, but the ask to please show this to your children feels somehow creepy to me. They are still so young and impressionable, and providing them with perceptibly incoherent stories and imagery just seem

Researching semi-obvious things like what elements of AI-generated text humans mistake for being human-generated is part of the process of how people working on AIs work towards better generation. You’re just seeing how the sausage gets mad

Your objection to the joke has been duly noted in the appropriate system of record. Beep boop.

by synu 4y ago
At the risk of explaining a joke, the idea was not that it’s something that’s only ever been said before failure, but that it’s a quite funny thing to say just before one.

Simply give the exchanges fees to short bitcoin, and after they collapse they will pay you out.

Down $42,000 since the “Fortune Favours the Brave” commercial - which is famously something Pliny said before setting sail for Vesuvius as it was erupting, and then dying.

I just meant they are giving their devices away to lots of streamers. It’s hard to find any electronics channel not sponsored by them, or where the host doesn’t have and is giving more devices away to viewers.

by synu 4y ago
They’ve been giving their devices away to every electronics YouTuber, you really see them everywhere plus the sponsored ads. I’m not really sure how many hobbyists really need a scope like what they make, though.

I was there and was very welcomed. Local computer clubs, BBSes, and more. It was way more welcoming than the internet now. The salty gatekeeping as I recall was against corporatised versions of the internet (AOL), but in the end that battle

DevOps unfortunately became a mega-industry designed to sell software to the point that I feel it's become a sort of meaningless term, which is a shame because there are actual important concepts underlying the topic. Some of the incen

I've definitely seen people told there's nothing left for them to do, and their accounts and access immediately turned off. Why would they need access to systems or the office if they have no tasks? Are you saying there's som

In Europe you have to keep paying the person, but it's not uncommon for them to be told not to come in anymore.
