My service contract expired with them this Friday. Opted not to renew because of price change in synthetics product 100x initial release. The product is reliable, but billing is troubling.

"Designed to thrive after fires

Like many plants native to fire-prone regions, eucalyptus trees (aka gum trees in Australia) are adapted to survive — or even thrive — in a wildfire. Fallen eucalyptus leaves create dense carpets of flammable material, and the trees' bark peels off in long streamers that drop to the ground, providing additional fuel that draws ground fires up into the leaves, creating massive, fast-spreading "crown fires" in the upper story of eucalyptus forests."

e.g. Madeira Island: Laurel forest doesn't burn by arson, efficiently, people that tried, never succeeded more than 10sq meters, and were arrested. Only Gorse ulex europaeus and eucalyptus not managed forests (all introduced species) did burn out of control, guaranteeing success of the arsonist.

My point is that fire-resistant species would help reduce fire propagation.

Not even in "Pedrógão Grande fire", only after the fires of mid-October 2017 did the Portuguese government started to react, and by react I mean enforcing the law that has been around for 20 years.

The catalyst of Portugal forest fires is the extense eucalyptus plantations. Eucalyptus is an introduced pyrophyte species and it doesn't stay confined to the initial plantation areas, reducing endemic forest, which is generally "fire-resistant", such as Sweet chestnut Castanea sativa.

Our normal state should be doing good for the planet, and not bragging for doing the right thing. For starters, Stripe staff should fly far less, invest in remote working, or research how to make payments with the lowest carbon footprint. Cash is the baseline. I hope that there isn’t an hidden agenda of carbon credits as a business.

The lowest paid plan is $20/monthly for 75k customers, hypothetically, that alone would generate $18M a year.

Do you have reference for the 110ms ny-hk? I’m doing research on latency and wish to assess that information.

This story always comes back every year. With some ground knowledge on this, as I worked previously for Portugal Ministry of Health (Regional Subdivision). All this is price, and the programme works because drugs go where the money is, i.e. not Portugal, goes to the UK and Germany. On the other hand, Alcoholism is a massive issue in Portugal, and there is no Government action.

not very safe for some users.

Don’t understand why countries don’t keep it simple. If you are drunk you can’t operate any type of machinery or work, wait better can’t run a country as president or prime minister. Also, I forgot, you can’t vote in any parliament. Just one law.

Well done. But you can use cf-terraforming easily. "cf-terraforming is a command line utility to facilitate terraforming your existing Cloudflare resources."

Comparing CDNs is incorrect by an aggregator. I couldn't find CDNPref methodology. One patient goes to two specialist doctors and returns with two different assessments (observer error). The multitude of variations in Cloudflare and Fastly alone, make it hard to compare. Free plans should be removed, and maybe just compare Enterprise to Enterprise on the same price point.
