klon··on AWS multiple services outage in us-east-1
Statuspage.io seems to load (but is slow) but what is the point if you can't post an incident because Atlassian ID service is down.
klon··on GCP Incidents
Yes, we have also experienced undocumented limits for Cloud Run. For us it was an obscure quota for max network packages per second per instance. Really infuriating and took 6 months to track down what it was. I think it has been documented here now: https://cloud.google.com/run/quotas#cloud_run_bandwidth_limi...
klon··on Google Cloud Domains is to be fully deprecated as part of Google Domains sale
Oh wow sorry misread.
klon··on Google Cloud Domains is to be fully deprecated as part of Google Domains sale
It should be noted GCP still has Cloud Domains: https://cloud.google.com/domains/

It should be trivial to transfer your domains there if you don't want to deal with Squarespace.

klon··on How small companies and freelancers can deal with the VATMOSS EU VAT changes
The benefit and one reason for this new regulation is to enable digital download businesses to be able to compete wherever they are located within the EU. I used to run a digital download service for record companies and we had a serious disadvantage against Luxemburg registered companies like Apple since we had to add 25% VAT and they only had to add 15%.

Yes
klon··on The Importance of Surviving 40 more years
But would a duplicate of me feel like I live forever? Won't I just feel it's my duplicate that lives on when my biological self dies? Maybe a little more satisfying than having a pyramid "live on" but still.
klon··on Two-Factor Authentication and the Police State
How about a distress code password that you can give them which when used triggers a self-destruct mechanism.

Openness is good. It builds trust.
klon··on The Go Programming Language, or: Why all C-like languages except one suck.

klon··on How To Safely Store A Password
Does anyone know how Djangos built-in password hashing fares?
klon··on Introduction to programming in Java
Despite being an experienced Java programmer I found the scientific computation section really useful at bridging the gap between math formulas and working algorithms. Very concise explanations and example code included.
klon··on Ask HN: Any web startups using Java?
I built Klicktrack based on Java and it's a great platform for a startup especially for larger teams. The only drawback I can think of is the compile deploy cycle which can be a bit annoying compared to scripting languages but it can be mitigated.
klon··on Offer HN: SEO Help
From a fellow swede. I've tried to follow SEO best practices on the startup I co-founded, http://www.klicktrack.com/ but certainly have things I can improve. I would greatly appreciate if you could have a look. We provide a turn-key download store for labels and artists.
