It was not THAT bad, but it really feed my impression that there is an institutional god complex at Oxide.

Brian, you need to step off your high horse. Few people can go around saying that they are the best, and you’re not one of them. It was also embarrassing to listen to the podcast episode where you humiliated that Eastern European guy you ha

I was on a consultant-assignment at a company that got raided by the police in the EU. The police was extremely careful not to scan any data that where stored on US-servers. The company used Google for mail and file storage, so all computer

So I’ll just automate failed verifications for everyone I want to lock out?

Yes, it’s the biometrics they’re after.

Yes, Lettermint looks great if you need both transactional and marketing emails. But it's a bit weird that the OP selected Lettermint over Scaleway for just transactional emails when they use lots of other Scaleway services. https:&#x

Same here. I tried different EU providers before I migrated our servers off the US clouds and Hetzner demanded my passport and webcam live verification. Thats a HUGE red flag and we went with Scaleway instead. Happy I found out what a shitt

In Anthropics defense they make sure that no company can rely on them by being down all the time... And LLMs have become a commodity these days, so you can seamlessly just fail over to another supplier WHEN they go down.

Surly this post must have the opposite effect of what he intended. Even if you side with Cloudflare on the core issue this post is so cringy my butthole collapsed into itself. Are Americans not embarrassed by the way these tech bros operate

That’s why you should only export anonymous information to external parties. There is no valid reason for OpenAI to export my personal information like this. I will report OpenAI to the data protection agency in my country and I encourage o

What is not realistic? To do simple input validation on data that has the potential to break 20% of the internet? To not have a system in place to rollback to the latest known state when things crash? Cloudflare builds a global scale system

Yes, it's probably an overreaction. But at the same time, what value do they add if they: * Took down the the customers sites due to their bug. * Never protected against an attack that our infra could not have handled by itself. * Don&

They failed on so many levels here. How can you write the proxy without handling the config containing more than the maximum features limit you set yourself? How can the database export query not have a limit set if there is a hard limit on

We do Thursday to Thursday and then you get Friday off after completed on-call. Being on-call gives you no extra pay by itself, but if you get paged off hours and need to work you get paid 150 to 200% of your normal hourly wage depending on

It's a really simple vulnerability though. It comes of like you're not really on top of things when you cant reproduce or close it.

The real question is why they do Module.function() and then function.() instead of .function()? It makes no sense to have the dot at the end of an anonymous named function.

Then they should have a "?" status that can be triggered by automated systems that acknowledge that it looks to be an issue but that they are manually investigating. If it's a false positive they just resolve it without it af

Will the dead Ukrainians get their lives back? No one cares about your Gmail account mate. Have some respect for what’s going on.

Kevlar helmets and ceramic body armor is pretty standard. Go for body armor that can take a hit from 7.62 rounds. Body armor is heavy so most people prefer the ones that don’t have plates on the sides and over the shoulders as an compromise

I’m truly sorry for all honest Russians that don’t support their government and what’s going on. But the world cannot let Putin go on and there is only two ways of doing that; military action that will result in full nuclear war or pushing

I don't see the hundred of thosands of people fleeing Russia at the moment. I do see them trying to get out of Ukraine though. Please stop trying to make yourself a victim. You're really not. You're just a troll.

You fund the attacks on Ukraine whether you want it or not. Nobody is targetting you specifically, but transfering a couple of domains as collateral damage isn't that much problems is it? And while you think of a response to that, keep

Do you really think all these sanctions against Russia won't have any effect? The more countries and companies that join in, the faster the results will come. The Russian masses cannot put a blind eye to what their government are doing

You are disregarding the fact that there is a competition to get the Olympics, where perfectly normal democracies also participate each time. There have certainly been offers from competitors to arrange Olympics on tighter budgets too. The
