How do you make it safe and inviting while also protecting anonymity?

Some anonymous users are prone to pretty awful behavior, and non anonymous users will be profiled.

Tramort , 3 days ago to Technology in China is attempting to mirror the entire GitHub over to their own servers, users report

China filters every byte of Internet traffic in and out of the country.

It seems naive to think they can't accomplish the same thing for a GitHub mirror.

That's the whole point of this: they will automatically filter that out, and this is an impotent, though well intended, gesture.

Tramort , 1 month ago to Technology in Cloudflare took down our website after trying to force us to pay $120000 within 24h

Exactly right.

If they are somehow losing money routing traffic then their pricing is fundamentally wrong, which is just as big of a black eye for cloudflare.

Exactly my thoughts

I read the post and it doesn't sound abusive at all

Plus: cloudflare kept putting them in touch with the sales department. Not legal. Not technical support

It's just shit customer service, even if the customer is making a ton of money compared to your fees. Should a casino pay more for other services, too, just because they" don't need a subsidy"?

Jesus. Something shady is happening with cloudflare.

That does not inspire confidence.

Can this replace the need for a seed box?

Tramort , 2 months ago to Technology in 'Vortex Cannon vs Drone' - Mark Rober shows off tech from a "defense technology company that specializes in advanced autonomous systems". That seems bad

The breathless enthusiasm for the military industrial complex while dropping scary descriptions of terrorism that hasn't happened gave me exactly the same impression.

I hate this kind of content, especially from someone who seems like a pretty genuine person.

Please Mark: be a bit more critical.

So you mean setwitter.com ?

Tramort , 2 months ago to Technology in A German state is ditching Windows and Microsoft Office for Linux and LibreOffice on the 30,000 PCs it uses for local government functions

This isn't going to happen.

This headline comes up every year that it's time for the government to negotiate contracts with Microsoft. Once they get the best price they think they can, they will accept it and issue a news release that "we're staying in Windows after all".

It's lame, but it's what is going to happen.

It looks cool! Thanks!

Do you have to use Earth or can you model a hypothetical planet?
