It's amazing that once you become super rich, everything you say becomes a wisdom quote unless you're Trump of course.
I am really not surprised that this journalist, just like most who get paid under the table, shilled for 3 of the most disgusting tabloid-tier tech companies of our time with the most aggressive marketing and astroturfing techniques in one article.
Not sure whether this is a yet another fake story sponsored by the Qataris, who infiltrated the liberal western media with their isalmist and ultra left minions all over in the name of diversity, since their rift with the Saudis in mid 2017 or the richest man on Earth is actually retarded enough to chat with a head of state like Saudi Arabia on fucking WhatsApp
These are huge and public companies and are lots of regulation and scrutiny by the government and investors and are a big target for hackers and adversary governments and that's why they spend a fortune to keep their reputation clean. I don't think you should compare yourself to them.
>VPN or Cloudflare's Access solutions you are talking about, are designed for other purposes
What other purposes? please enlighten me
>The most important thing is that you don't need to install any additional software on the client machine or server
so your product works by authenticating uses via your webapp's SSO for example and then the client has to manually download the private keys and certificates and use them with the ssh command?
UPDATE: It seems also that Cloudflare's Access supports SSH and SSO.
probably web scraping, along with SEO, is one of the most shameless niches in tech and is crammed with people with nearly zero tech skills and are only for the money. Maybe for your case you just happened to love web scraping, but this niche itself is the lowest of low. Thankfully Cloudflare and the low barrier to entry/increase of supply make sure that no one can make much more than he should (which is $0 imho).
Can somebody here elaborate on this?
It's very easy to win elections when you kill, imprison and lay off _hundreds of thousands_ of your "enemies" and have total control on the press and the judicial system. Westerners nowadays forget that fear is a very, very effective political tool. In fact it's the most effective political tool by far. In Turkey, thousands of people were imprisoned based on just DNS queries that are being logged by intelligence services. Fucking DNS queries! even if your application/website connected to a "terrorist affiliated" server once via some ad or anything you get arrested. Turkey has, and now shamelessly supporting the most dangerous Islamic groups on Earth. How coincidental that after the alleged pathetic coup attempt, within days, around 100,000 people were arrested, how can you arrest a fucking hundred thousand people if these people aren't on lists a priori?. If hundreds of thousands plotted a fucking coup, how on earth could it fail? How can it even be a coup when hundreds of thousands plot it?. This is like Kirov assassination v2.0. It's not even a secret that Erdogan moving extremely dangerous ISIS members in civilian planes from Syria to Libya to destabilize Egypt. The US used an Iraq base and even asked the Russians to clear the way on the Syrian field for the planes that were going to kill Al Baghdadi in northern Syria despite having a big base in southern Turkey that can do the mission in minutes. It isn't hard to get that even the US army and CIA don't trust Erdogan having his men spying on the base and warning AL Baghdadi within seconds
Every day, every fucking day, you open the news and see Erdogan "threatening" somebody, some country, some group, not just in Turkey but everywhere. Since he has been doing this for more than a decade now and nobody stood up to him. He's been seen now as the Caliph by islamists and extremists all over the world. It's the romantic reflection in the islamic legacy of the strong muslim ruler humiliating the infidels. The holy grail for every extremist!
