Which OP?

OP who posted the original question? I don't see that they state why. I also don't see reasons in the comments. They could have other reasons. Which is fine, they asked a concrete question and they don't owe us reasons.

GP, who I'm replying to, stated some opinions on why one might wish to move off Cloudflare. I'm asking for clarifications on these vaguely stated opinions. If their only concern is the values, that's fine and it's why I didn't ask any clarifying question on that item. I asked questions about the two _other_ items.

I'll note that I am not a Cloudflare customer and haven't been since ~2019, just due to getting quoted lower rates by a competitor and our AE didn't want to or couldn't match. No one can ask me to move off Cloudflare at this point :)

like 5 dollars and 13 cents, which still wouldn’t express a decimal point

it doesn't express a decimal point if you think of cents as a completely different unit of currency from dollars, but if you think of cents as 1/100ths it actually does indicate the decimal point. "5 dollars and 13 100ths" which is what cents means, and which is sometimes used when not referring to money, for example items that are measured in centiles such as interest rates. I think our forebears were more likely to throw words like centile around, and thats how they came up with the word cents.

My cousin is Italian and he always says "for cent" to me and I scratched my head till I realized, per is translated to for from Italian, and they say "25 per cento" so he's just translating it to English as it makes sense to him, not realizing we also have the word per.

I lost taste and smell, and a regular taking of the following supplements helped me get it back:
a) EGCg (from green tea, so take in morning)
b) Magnesium Threonate (helps w/ neural repair)
c) Agmatine and PQQ (I took both, and I mix up their purposes)
d) NAC (this might have been just for immune boost)

If you had to just try 2 of them, I'd try EGCg and Magnesium Threonate -- but it might help you recover your senses. The only thing off for me now is eggs, I'm super sensitive to the sulfur in them.

Unfortunately, this is Pareto's rule: 20% of work make 80% of results, and there is Hollywood type distribution, that few biggest companies have 80% share of all industry.

So, 80-90% of all work, median of work, are low-tech type.

Where you could look for some high-tech - most probably in large corporations, air-space industry, and universities.

Sometimes, high tech appear in small business, but this is rare, mostly they struggle to be profitable, not for minimize tech debt.

Other heuristic is that on market grow, appear new opportunities and some of them are focused on good architecture; on other end, when marked shrink or recession, all businesses shrink new development and mostly just support existing features. So just wait for next economy cycle, or try to find, which segments have good grow.

Or create your business (startup).

Right. But the point I'm making is that even in the case of Egypt, where succession is clear, the items often aren't returned. Which makes the "unclear who to give it to" sound more like an excuse than a legitimate reason in the other cases.

BeOS was also multi-platform (PPC and later IA-32), like NeXTStep. Anyway, yes, it was rough around the edges, but it was way more accessible; the hardware was a lot less expensive, and when sold as a standalone OS, was also reasonably priced for a hobbyist. There were a lot of great ideas in there, especially compared to the Windows, MacOS, and the various other *nixes of the time.

I'm not saying Apple made the wrong choice to be reverse-acquired by NeXT, obviously, they've done pretty well. But an alternate universe where Apple acquired BeOS is well within the imagination.
You’re “sure”? I mean it’s kinda the whole point of the product, and from what has been said in trade articles the revenue from premium is much higher than the ad revenue it’s replacing.

This doesn't deserve to be downvoted. Competition is crucial for healthy markets, and the only effect of buyouts and mergers is to consolidate business and decrease competition.

> What is the main benefit to running a gateway?

An API gateway is an adapter. You can build a web API out of multiple independent web services, like microservices or simply versioned APIs. On top of that you can do anything a proxy does, like load balancing, TLS termination, rate limiting, monitoring, etc. Basically a API gateway is a higher-level abstraction over a proxy which saves some time and effort implementing some basic features.

That won't make a dent if you are running a single instance of a single service.

Once you start to run multiple instances of multiple services then things start to break down.

Hey Edwinwee I can appreciate that you're the guy who always has to stand in front of the HN mob, but the answer you gave here is terrifying because it makes it seem like people in Stripe are acting without any empathy for customers.

For example, OP says they've been reaching out to Stripe and couldn't really get any answers but but somehow you were able to get all of this cleared up within the day.

I get that a "regulated space" complicates things, but why was the client cleared last week and what changed? Why last time was it only shutting down a single client and this time 35% of clients? Is this done on a customer by customer basis or are there other stories out there of customers who were/are affected today by the same issue?

Lastly, when someone (a reviewer?) at Stripe shuts down an account do they notate why the account was shut down and if so, is there a reason this isn't shared (at least with frontline support)?
Wait a second, so LinkedIn doesn't allow scraping but they scrape?
Turns out Best Buy supports Passkeys, which is what he uses to test.

Fortnite is not “low poly” other than the fact that it uses polygons like nearly every other 3D game. The character models, level geometry, vfx, etc are all incredibly polished. League of Legends is fine, but it’s so much simpler it’s bizarre you would think it’s the more visually complex game.

On top of that, the fact Fortnite has a destructible world with 100 players means it’s also one of the most computationally demanding games… and yet it can run on four year old mobile phones. It’s a technical masterpiece, and anyone saying otherwise doesn’t know what they’re talking about.
You can easily come up with some wildly different numbers but …

2013 Meta analysis puts nuclear at 14:1 EROI. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S030142151...

You can find numbers all over the place for solar here’s something back in 2015 that goes as high as 34.2 : 1 depending on design and location: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S13640... and of course the best numbers have improved dramatically over the last 7 years. At the other end, Solar in Alaska obviously has much worse numbers.

It’s really interesting how much you can twist these numbers. For example the electricity to run equipment like pumps, computers etc at a nuclear power plant. It’s easy to call them as an input when the power plant is offline, but during operation are they actual cost or should the be treated as an inefficiency where only the external inputs count.

Right - your training data set is images plus descriptions. But the descriptions are not typically descriptions of composition.

Descriptions of Napoleon Crossing the Alps are unlikely to read 'A small frenchman wearing a silly hat riding on a horse'. So why would an AI trained on such image descriptions develop any sense for 'compositionality'?
> Then pay for YT Premium so you don't have ads.

Nope. YT Premium only makes the problem worse by requiring you to log in using an account that is tied to your real world identity and was used for payment processing. You just end up giving more data points to Google to track you, cross-reference with other sources and shove more ads in other platforms, still get native ads, and Google can just add their own ads later (as it is happening step by step with streaming companies).

Google is acting as a mobster and you should never pay the protection money. Use your trusty adblocker of choice, NewPipe or yt-dlp.
I generally agree with your sentiment.

It's also not helping that so many of these games are just card collecting games, because there was a need to integrate NFTs somehow (that's where profit is for the developers) so collectibles was the easy answer... and then they have pasted some lousy "gameplay" on top of it.

Also there is a whole exploitative side to certain of these games which setup a deliberately very high cost of entry, incentivizing a rent-seeking market where rich owners borrow their entry ticket and let poorer people work to earn the daily rewards available in game for them (because at this point it isn't really playing anymore).

I know of one notable exception, Cypto Royale [0], it's definitely a simple appearing game, basically multiplayer rock/paper/scissor mechanics, but if you do play it you can notice few more layers in gameplay (placement, size/hp management, wall physics)... so there is a bit of strategy and skill involved. Unlike so many other cyptogames they also don't require you to own or even know about crypto to play (it is free to play, it doesn't even require an account). Their approach, even for a simple looking game, seems way closer to actual gaming as a way to potentially get players accustomed to crypto.

This appeals to me in a way that I think I'm a pretty niche audience.

I came of age a little late in the drift era of the early 00s, and my first car that I owned was a 1992 Trueno. I knew people in the local drift scene. Not really "before it was cool," but at least before it was tired.

My sister has _always_ been a Mustang diehard. Her dream car is a 60s Mustang fastback. She's owned at least three different Mustangs, and never owned a car that isn't a Mustang.

So this gets me the whole "sibling cred" angle, and the "drift feel" angle. Plus, I will probably be able to afford it when it comes out.

The real question is... will I be willing to buy an ICE car by the time I'm ready to buy a new car? Or... will I be living in a place where a car is unnecessary by then?

> Half this article is about how it was targeted against election deniers/MAGA die hards. But of course, even that is spun as being bad in this article. From the article: ‘None were Antifa types’

It is a bad thing, because the law protects our disagreement with the election deniers/MAGA diehards only as much as it protects their disagreement with ours. Having the same opinions as people who did illegal things isn't and shouldn't be grounds for targeted surveillance.

The pendulum will swing the other way eventually, and they'll be digging into the messages of people that talk about defunding the police because "antifa" took control over part of Portland for a while. Or target abortion activists because they caught a few people trying to assassinate Supreme Court justices.

Trusting that government overreach will only affect the other side usually backfires.
Initially I wasn't sure if this was about the legacy Mustang or the new electric crossover that they're also calling a Mustang. Overall, bad branding job by Ford IMO. More to the point of the article though, this seems like a dangerous gimmick to put on a street legal car.
I also don't understand this discussion that they want to show ads just for the sake of it. No, all they care about is money from the ad and if they could earn more by not showing it, then there is no reason not to take it.
The problem is that YouTube is ramping up the number of ads. So what changed? Many creators have been getting plenty rich from the relatively fewer ads that have been shown over the years (which I've been quite happy with). If they are showing more ads for the creators sake then fine, but I am skeptical that is the case.

Because I didn't say it will "obsolete" human labor.

You're right that the word "will" is strong in that statement. But, since basically nothing is absolute in a philosophical sense and certainly no one can prognosticate with certainty, it's fair to read that as "will with high likelihood".

And your surgical nitpicking doesn't hamper my argument in quite the way you think it does. Frankly, I believe it's in defiance of the following HN guideline:
