It'd be great to have a hacker news for things that are not hacker news. I refuse to go to reddit, though.

You left out "being a community of shills". That's really their favorite thing to do.

Yeah, I find the evil "distracting". Call me old fashioned.

I understand law enforcement which is not on the side of anyone inherently other than ideally justice. You, apparently, are not. I suggest you look up "due process" to get a jump start on some crucial points.

Maybe outsourcing one's security needs is "dumb" when it comes to something like the internet since "trust" is hard won and quite expensive.

People hurt people. That's why there are police and a judicial system with checks and balances--not a kangaroo court of internet service providers.

That is a law enforcement warrant matter--not a cloudflare policing matter.

Someone just posted up a pull quote the other day on Hacker News about how Cloudflare doesn't bend to cancel culture, and I remarked that they all ready had more than once. Now the big reveal is they ARE Cancel Culture, but they have n

Yep. I don't know that momentum is sustaining them so much as it is denial.

The cloud is all ready a security nightmare. I don't want to put more stuff in it.

Wasn't this posted to Hacker News before?

Yep. Funny thing, people with Jewish DNA aren't all buried in Jewish graveyards.

I agree that there is a difference between the two of them and I think in both cases if any termination is going to happen, it ought to come from the legal system itself as a Court Order.

The problem with cloudflare is that they ALL READY bowed to cancel culture...

This is why there is a separation between law enforcement and service providers...

Is it a genetic bottleneck, or is it "We'd rather not understand Jewish DNA so much?"

>> Get caught in a lie in front of a jury for a white-collar criminal prosecution with any sort of competent lawyer, and you never regain credibility. Which is great for mega corporations who are always innocent of any robber-baroning

>> 2) There was no large scale data breach Says who? The FBI? Says Ubiquiti? I bet BOTH of those places have a reason to say that, and it is green and smells of dead presidents.

You guys are thinking about this in a very cloudy kind of way. Assuming that Ubiquiti was being blackmailed, they have a security problem in who they hire (Who held user data for ransom). Assuming they were not being blackmailed, but had a

Most folks define their title by what they are paid to do. It follows then that if you are not paid to do anything, then you don't have the title, right? Well, if that's not quite right, then you haven't really become anythin

Perhaps I wasn't clear, so let me be quite transparent: China has terrible human rights issues. One of those issues is eating babies which they SAY is just in rural areas, but if you happen to let loose a bio weapon on the world, I ten
