Does anyone actually trust any of this nonsense?

At this scale, TikTok, Google, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook.. it should legally be required to either:

- Open Source It

- Provide clear option to opt-out

- Provide the params to be 100% configurable

Wake up people!

Was being sarcastic. ETF = risk-adverse and Bitcoin = exact opposite. Whole point was there is no competitive option to an ETF (and that is obviously not bitcoin)

Bitcoin.

But seriously I do agree — despite it being loved by PF/FIRE crowd — parking all your assets in Index funds with no other competitive option is terrifying.

Still... It would be cool to have a 17,000 mph PoP flying over your head at all times for your Serverless apps / edge workers..

Host a bunch of campaign sites - many using the program talked about here.

It would be cool to have more precise numbers and neat stats on more specific attacks but as long as I'm protected I don't really care.

Regardless of that...

I'd argue the reality is it's nearly impossible, expensive, or just plain risky to host any high-profile website without Cloudflare today (using their campaign offering or not). Between security and random traffic spikes it's simply an awesome / killer / the absolute best deal. All clients must go on Cloudflare for me.

The only other option is to go 100% static - ultimate security and speed - which also has its trade-offs.

Cloudflare actually doesn't offer a pure static option even with their election protection program. The ability to just go "pure static" doesn't exist to my understanding.

E.g.: You can try to mimic "fake static" by turning on 100% HTML Page Cache on, Firewall rules to block non GET/HEAD requests. This still subjects you to cache busting techniques to hit origin (/?fbid=1, /?fbid=2, /?fbid=3, etc...). This is because ignoring query strings and pure HTML cache only would only be possible using Workers or an Enterprise plan with Custom Cache Keys - both which are not offered under their campaign program.

The best work-around would be rate-limiting but that still exposes origin and has it's trade-offs.

Google offers an election program [1] which is more the pure cache = pure security philosophy. Way, way less flexible though. Just some thoughts.

Modern day tobacco. 100% unregulated addiction.

FB, TWTR, GOOG, INSTA, everyone switched from timeline to personal recommendation engines and TikTok is just doing it so much better. Where will things be in 5, 10, 50 years? Terrifying and exciting.

Do these tech companies sit on research to suggest that these algorithms can induce behavior-changing tactics through trial-and-error? Will they all have their tobacco-causes-cancer moment?

Old-Age Fear: YouTube algorithm sending people down the conspiracy rabbit hole

New-Age Fear (Hyper-Efficient): TikTok secretly radicalizing individual in X?

The big question strikes: "what is free will?"

Amazing read

Is this regulated for US companies?

We really need a web inspector.

The buttery speed, lack of a howling fan, and the simplicity of apps is like a “zen mode” operating system.

It has been TEN YEARS since iPad came out and we still have nothing remotely useful.

iMessage is like 90% the reason I am invested in the Apple ecosystem

Noticed this yesterday around 5pm EST.

Edit: Also noticed that when generating API keys, the dropdown wouldn't list all my accounts for setting permissions. Just assumed it was all related or something.

Either way, overall super insanely reliable product/service and could not live without.
