It uses an iframe scoped to Google and I'm pretty sure that Twitter can't access my Google account data unless I select the login option but still, feels really creepy.

All the games are ad free and IAP free.

25w * 24 * 365 = 219000w or 219kw per year.

At my current electricity rate that's £39.42 per year at a very minimum just for the TV box.

My kids have just started to get in to Roblox, not bought anything yet but I expect it'll happen soon enough.

I assume there is a specific legal quirk with property ownership.

In our case, one of our games DAU went pretty crazy last Christmas which resulted in a huge increase in players (who all need to download hundreds of MB of data). Maybe if it'd continued for many months the situation would be different and that angry email from CF would have eventually arrived.

They haven't clarified their file operations costs yet though. That could get pricy but will more than likely be cancelled out by the egress savings for most use cases.

You can also use their page rules to easily do domain forwarding or just server up some static content from S3 with caching enabled

I actually took a similar stance to the person in the article and after a few weeks just moved my camera to point further and further towards a wall and just keep my hands in frame. A few grumbles but no calls from HR, yet.

While I'm not interrupted very often due to my role, it's been quite a frustrating experience.

I can't really think of any software from a major tech company that I use frequently and that's been updated to give me _more_ toggles to customize the app. It's always to take things away.

The article says that the site has a valid certificate and it should have been possible to detect that domain certificate generation through one of the CT logs? The website hosting company took the domains down in this case but maybe there needs to be a good automated solution which would help most companies report when they did find phishing sites using lookalike domains. Not a trivial problem to solve, I guess.

Even with discounts from AWS it just doesn't make sense to use AWS to serve up the assets to users.

We do use S3 as our static asset backend and the combination works really well. I would love to see Cloudflare release a S3 compatible storage service though. I think we'd jump onto that in a heartbeat.

I hope I'm wrong but living in the UK, I really don't see how we get from where we are now to somewhere sustainable fast enough to make any sort of difference.

While it's from an earlier time period, it really shows that people back then still cooked a wide range of dishes that would still be recognized and pretty palatable even today.

I'd love to see a better policy around making new housing developments require better public transport routes or space for shops/offices. The vast majority of the newer estates around me (North Scotland) require a car or a rather long walk just to get to a shop.

It left me wondering whether the bosses if the company just don't care or if they were told by the web design company they hired for their site that it'd add thousands to the website cost and decided against it.

For those outside the US (disabled the regional redirect)

Not from as far back but my house was built in the early 1980's and my house deeds include the stipulation that I must maintain a garage attached to the property (so I can't convert it to extra living space) because the local government retain the right to convert the space into a decontamination shelter in the event of chemical, biological or nuclear attack. Had a good chuckle with my lawyer regarding it, don't think I'll be too concerned about where to keep my lawn mower if the city has been nuked.
