I think it's accurate. The first Cloudflare refers to the product, and the second Cloudflare refers to the company.

Ultimately if Cloudflare's customers see slow performance, it doesn't really matter who is to blame. The customers just have a bad experience.

That's a thing I read about elsewhere, and it sounds like it has or had an integrated VNC Server - is that true (meaning run it heqdless from cli via ssh and connect to it through that), or do you need an X and leave Pharo "opened"? Any pointers appreciated ;-)

Making the shift to skills starts with a process that many find challenging: surfacing skills that are actually taught and learned through existing courses, and making them visible to educators, learners, and employers. For that to happen we need to move from conceptual discussions to the realm of practical application.

Educational institutions need three things to implement change: time, money, and direction. Government programs, private grants, and other sources of funding are emerging. The Australian government and others are all-in when it comes to skills training. Programs in Europe and worldwide are searching for ways to enhance Personal Evidence Records, revamp the idea of resumes, and build a bridge between educators and employers.

But before we get too far down the track of where we can go, first we need to make a start. So where can we start?
Actually, Gavin, I think you're an excellent writer, actually, and I rather enjoyed your articles. I hope you'll keep posting.

It's just that... the US government, OSB and FBI agents, whoever is handling your application... They don't really have a sense of nuance when doing background investigations, nor should they be expected to have the resources to do so.

Even in a professional environment, there's a limit to how specialized the gear on a single bench can be. With a constraint of finite money, there's a tradeoff between specialized and general-purpose equipment. The Analog Discovery Pro is only 50Mhz, but it's radically smarter than any "real" scope I've ever used. It takes the place of the frequency counter and signal generator. The most obvious omission is a good power supply.
Any posts on this? Are there bulk data loads that make table stats more stale and affect plans? I’m wondering what would suddenly make a plan selection change a lot that might be a contributing factor.

You are seriously suggesting that the move to TLS was a bad thing? Before the era of TLS, I, as a child, could see everyone's private information on any network I was on.

You're saying this sarcastically but it's absolutely true. If the government blocks a service because they can't use it to spy, citizens get angry at their government. Working as intended.

There's another legitimized scam involving foreclosures, pre-foreclosures, and outright theft: adverse possession where a 3rd-party pay some back taxes and gets the property for a song.

In some municipalities, adverse possession can be used without paying back taxes to squat and legally transfer a portion of another title to a person occupying that area.
Well, this is tantamount to saying "X Server is Slow"—when accessed from Japan, when your server is in a datacenter in North America. I know we're talking India here, but it's a personal experience, my server wasn't slow, but felt like it in Japan. There is a specific context that yielded this result, and that's important to actually having a meaningful story that isn't just clickbait for a blog on HN.

In this particular scenario, CloudFlare isn't slow, but their experience of accessing it under the context of x circumstance is.

> Real estate agents have a fiduciary responsibility to represent a homeowner’s best interests in negotiations, which is defined in state laws, licensing requirements and an industry code of ethics.

Our experience with real estate agents has been far from this ideal. We had to fire one after she lied to a counterparty and then lied to us in an attempt to cover it up. Other agents weren't much better, and none of them seemed to take their fiduciary responsibility seriously. They seemed to be looking out for themselves 100% of the time, and their client only when interests were aligned.

The relationship epitomizes the principle-agent problem.
Like several other comments suggest, the author is actually spending way more than $250 on each phone.

I have been buying 1-2 generation older but still brand new phones last few years- such as OnePlus 7T, OnePlus 8 and Galaxy S10e. All of them were fantastic, capable phones and cost less than $300.

How is it accurate? Who's to say that Cloudflare can't do much about it?
I don’t think that’s how stress works. If you’re prone to stressing about things then you’ll build up failure scenarios in your head relative to what you know.

How is this possible when looking at 2 houses, one $700,000 and one $850,000. The realtor makes more money on the latter.

How is that not a breach of fiduciary duty?

By looking at people I know and their tablet ownership, I think you're the one mis-estimating.

But the psychology probably goes further than "I'll buy everyone in the family a tablet" and is more like "Well I was thinking of maybe upgrading soon in a year or two, and anyway I'm tired of loaning the kids my tablet, how about I buy that new shiny one for myself and the kids can have this one?" to just push people over a threshold of spending
Maybe if you are average driver (e.g. violently reckless/greedy), accident avoidance would be a viable strategy statistically...

Personally, the only accident I have ever experienced was an 18 wheeler gassing it into my rear bumper when I was stopped at a red light.. and I'm certainly glad I wasn't in that little go kart at the time.

For a cautious driver that actually follows speed limits and leaves 7 car following distance I don't see this car as helpful in any way.
That doesn't seem unreasonable. Really, the usury laws should be linked to the federal discount rate anyway.

As a producer myself, the art of production is barely enough anymore as apps like TikTok and Twitter greatly devalue music. Many rappers and music producers also end up becoming vocalists, actors, and even comedians... While also being required by platforms to constantly share behind the scenes videos of how they make music.

Don Toliver is a producer turned artist, so is Metro Boomin... Ti is doing stand up comedy, and even Rick Ross is vlogging and running a podcast now instead of working on primarily music. Spotify not paying artists has a lot to do with it I'm sure... It's a sign of doom for music if making music becomes worthless, because the only music left will be artificially generated, and any real music connoisseur knows that's just never going to cut it.
IIRC back in symfony 1 part of it was becasue symfony used the first request to write optimized versions of the code into a folder that I cannot remember the name of.

I think there was a way to do this up front in Symfony 1 and there might be some way to do this as part of a build and deploy step. Of course on applications with less traffic and less strict requirements just hooking something up to run a request immediately after deploy might work just as well, but if it runs across n small pods it might be a much better idea to do it on a beefy build machine instead of on n resource constrained pods causing slow loading for n customers.
I don't know what that has to do with things here though. I bet you could go to somewhere like, Mexico (or another country down there), and easily hire someone to let you fly a plane.
I think it's important to do something practical. Even if you're a full time warrior for justice, screaming all the time will burn you out. You have to do practical stuff. Volunteer to clean up, volunteer to be a mentor to at-risk youth, volunteer to help people look for jobs, volunteer to help build houses, volunteer to teach people English, volunteer to help people sign up for social services, volunteer to make food and distribute food, etc, etc, etc. Pick something practical and do it.

...and it'll also help you advocate for systemic change in multiple ways. It gives you far better insight into the true nature of social problems, so you can advocate more effectively about them. It also signals to people that you actually care about the issue and aren't just yelling about it because someone on the Internet stirred you up. It gives you legitimacy and authority on the topic.

Doing ONLY practical stuff can also leave you drained as you feel overwhelmed by the scale of systemic issues. So having a balance of both sides, both practical change and pushing for systemic change can be very powerful.

And keep in mind that social media is largely an echo chamber. You're not really raising awareness by retweeting stuff on twitter to your like-minded followers. You need to get out there and talk to friends, family, neighbors, coworkers, and local leaders like at city hall, etc. If you've done a lot of practical stuff, you may be able to talk to local journalists and write op-eds with some level of authority on the topic.
>If there's a trove of apple users somewhere that have strong opinions about Android phones

Is using /r/apple cheating? ;)

To be clear, I envy Apple's long-term support for their products and no one can deny the fantastic build quality. I know that MacBooks can occasionally get some dislike here, but I genuinely really like the few I have, aside from my butterfly keyboard one, which is the odd child of the bunch.

The earliest occurrence of this that I can remember is when the iPhone X introduced OLED displays, back when the burn in occurred much faster. People were swearing up and down that Apple's OLED would be of a higher standard and wouldn't burn it in at all (not an exaggeration), not like those pesky Samsung phones!

I mean, the real end-state of network security design is to force governments into a situation where they only have two options: let through everything, or completely block the entire Internet. At which point said government can’t pretend to outside observers that it’s actually offering anything called “the Internet” to those people, and has to admit that it is instead some kind of North Korea-like totalitarian state where only an elite class of proven patriots can be trusted to access the outside world. So then those outside observers can get mad, impose sanctions, etc.

> First forcing everyone to use TLS, and then forcing everyone to use stronger forms of TLS that couldn't be inspected. Absolutely no fucks given about the many downsides, no alternatives considered.

Absolutely. Forcing strong TLS is absolutely a good thing. Enforcing privacy is absolutely a good thing.

The problem isn't with that decision, but the governments who don't understand that, and thus it is up to the citizens to change that.
Just learned of shoppre which apparently allows people outside of India to buy products off flipkart and some other Indian retailers. Also learned that Samsung has released an Indian specific line of Galaxy phones (Galaxy F series) that are a fraction of the price (as in ~$180 for imo really solid specs), but appear to have just as good specs.

Only issue I've been seeing is that some with stickers that say "India sim only" require an Indian sim card to be inside of it for at least 10 minutes, then any sim can be used afterwards. Anyone know of this or any other potential issues should someone outside of India purchase one of these Galaxies?
In my country it has comparable price to Pixel tablet.

BTW. Is there a good tablet that has a screen that one can comfortably keep in hands, like around 8 inches?
I like this idea, but I feel like the summary sometimes strips away too much context to remain useful. For example the current top story is “Fact Check: Claims Made by Former President Trump” and it includes sections like “Trump's attempts to blame then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for January 6th security failures were found to be false.”

That doesn’t tell me what he was claiming or how it was shown to be false. Whether or not someone will trust that conclusion will just depend on whether they tend to trust CNN, or their pre-existing bias on Trump/Jan 6/Pelosi.

Reading the original article his claim was that Pelosi was in charge of security as speaker of the house, and that is false because that’s the responsibility of the Capitol Police Board. I think that’d be a more useful summary of that section and a human wouldn’t have stripped away the specifics quite so much.
The ability to change the identity of objects is not really used in normal code, so it is pointless to complain about it as bad practice.

India is well known for blocking CDNs IPs for a variety of reasons (don't like the content, or because you can VPN on top of them).

I've seen some CDNs who don't use anycast and rely primarily on DNS to cycle thru the IP pools vended in India because the government is slow to add new addresses to block and they maintain a cool down period before reintroducing them.

The shitty part is that the entity in India issuing this never reaches out to the CDNs to communicate exactly what they object to.

I while ago I got a $300 Nvidia Shield android tablet which had great specs for the price, and they provided OS and software updates for 5 years or so.

Apparently they never made an updated model because the Nintendo Switch came out shortly after and it basically used the same SoC and the Nvidia tablet, so all production went to that.
I don't have much to add about the title except to suggest taking it with a hint of skepticism. Personally, I have a strong affinity for Cloudflare. It has consistently come to my rescue on numerous occasions. I haven't encountered any issues with speed while using their services. It's possible that my fast ISP plays a role, or perhaps the original poster needs to optimize their CF services. However, I believe it's unfair to make a straightforward claim that "They are slow" without considering potential biases. The performance of the services will always vary, and ultimately, the maximum output will depend on the specifics (end point?)
So likely what happened is India just blocked one ISP because a website they wanted to block resolved to it, without bothering to check what the IP was or who it belonged to.

I remember Australia making similar mistakes when their list of sites to block got leaked, and it included URL's which were specific to logged in users (so it would have blocked that users login as opposed to the site).
I’m going to go for the esoteric opinion: MariaDB. Specifically to get system versioned tables. Imagine having the full change history of every single row for any odd task that you need without the performance penalty of keeping historical data in the same table. It can be a huge amount of leverage.

If that’s not your interest, I will admit that Postgres array support is far ahead of any of the MySQLs. Most ORMs don’t use it but you can get optimal query prefetching via array subqueries.
America is blessed with a low population density (10% of India's) and lots of rich people who recently decided to live crammed together in cities. So there's more than enough spare property for everyone.
