Seriously #2 is your only recourse. Download the terms of service / your service contract , highlight their violations and send them a certified letter about breach of contract and that you intend legal recourse.

This is an asinine question. Even if you build agnostic solutions (like a docker image), you have storage resources, networks, configs, ACLs, snapshots and more all trapped inside GCP. we’re human — we forget to backup things, or push impor

There are both, every user has their own sandbox. But this one is there to encourage first time visitors and the uninitiated to make changes , so they know that anyone can contribute uninhibited.

I don’t think it’s good form to downvote people you disagree with.

Scraping isn’t an industry. There are legitimate and illegitimate scraping pursuits. There are lots of healthy / productive businesses in the cloud and lots of scumbags, just like any enterprise. I still have no idea about your point,

c++ / g++ is not comparable because the original c++ reference compilers are not commercially popular today. No one is using Strouvestroups compilers. CPython is Python. Every time your buddy says “just download python” you are using

I like this debate because it triggers everyone’s pragmatic frustration with the philosophy of language. Are things defined by the dictionary or by everyday experiences?

You can’t get much crawling done from published cloud IPs. Residential proxies are the only way to do most crawls today. That said, I support Google working to shut these networks down, since they are almost universally bad. It’s just a sh

The video games industry is suffering a lot of headwinds, so it's misleading to call this the major driver. Studios have been shutting down for 18+ months. Ubisoft stock is at a ~15 year low as are most big publishers. Many big title

This is great, though every geek should visit this place in person. It gets better every year. Especially on the days where they demo the giant IBM 1401. My buddy took me on a Silicon Valley tour when I lived there , we hit up the HP Garag

Nearly all of the complaints about AI , Ads and Search in Windows are easily bypassed with a few settings (look up Debloat or run the settings manually). There are quality issues, some severe, but no worse than iOS or MacOS. Honestly Windo
