That's flatly not true. imessage interop means not just the person who installs the other app, but the data of everyone with whom they message loses the security/privacy guarantees created by imessage and Apple as a corp. Includ

The idea that a package can be updated and with a deploy at the right time could be live on your servers in prod 10 minutes later has always been crazy, and the last years have just reinforced that. People are encouraged by package managers

I'd bet good money this is mostly related to Europe's GDPR / DMA actions against Facebook. Ironically, I think Facebook would be in the clear to just charge everyone in Europe and dump ads altogether. :shrug:

In 2008, Softlayer did monthly rental with provisioning of baremetal servers in hours. They quite likely did it earlier, but I used them in 2008.

If it were google's bug as Railway has certainly at least insinuated, then yes. I would also be fine with them saying "blah blah blah abuse was detected; we're working through it with our customer and we apologize to those i

That assumes a competent org. If this were aws, I fully believe that. At gcp it's entirely plausible.

When I've written similar services, there was a (low) hard cap on how many fraud decisions they could action before they quit and paged. If we were getting hit with a wave of something, a human had to temporarily bump that limit.

"Speed with Quality" Having been in some of these values meetings, I really imagine it went like this: someone wanted speed, and someone else wanted quality. Sorry, I mean Speed and Quality. Many people said there is a tradeoff

I'm pretty sure it's one of the revenue models for those free tv/movie boxes. You can even see them at best buy. Absurd.

It's coming. The Poshmark morons demanded government id to buy a $35 shirt. On an established account, an address that matched my credit card, etc. The only answer is delete your account.

"A thing is being implemented." Liars only: Apple is doing nothing.

If a single non-malicious code change can break a thing like that with nobody noticing that's a catastrophic failure in testing, QA, and operations (nobody noticed 20% of euros transacted just stopped). It's hard to blame that on

I disagree. It's great that you can get a Wen track saw with 100 in of track for $200 with tax and a Makita with 100 in for $800. People who just want to cut a sheet of plywood aren't stuck paying $800, or more likely, using an

Sorry, but that's really absurd entitlement and also contravenes the license. Open source is fundamentally a gift culture from the authors: here's a thing. You can use it for free; it may or may not meet your needs; but I do not

I got a modestly-similar situation resolved by buying a support package and spending 4+ hours across ... not sure, but probably 4-5 support calls? It's been 5 years. If memory serves it was the $200/mo support package for Azure.

ebay seems to scam buyers too. I was looking for a phone. Lots of sellers will list things as brand new which should imply new in box (unopened packaging). After you carefully read the listing, they actually mean open box which is far mor
