short12··on Cloudflare blocks an almost 2 Tbps multi-vector DDoS attack
That used to be a thing but is it anymore?

There is so much mitigation so it's pretty much ineffective

short12··on Cloudflare blocks an almost 2 Tbps multi-vector DDoS attack
At my last apartment it was gigabit. And it was definitely gigabit speeds
short12··on Cloudflare blocks an almost 2 Tbps multi-vector DDoS attack

Are they doing it for money ?

It just seems silly with services like cloud flare

short12··on “King' of ad fraud jailed for 10 years
What does a proper tax system have to do with the criminal charges of fraud he is facing? Tax evasion is the least of this guy's worries

I bought a card not a license
short12··on US infrastructure bill includes law that aims to end drunk driving
The drunk driving lobby is massive and will try to destroy this aspect of the bill
short12··on Fifty percent of Facebook Messenger’s total voice traffic comes from Cambodia
That is when you undermine the concept of voice messaging. "hey I got your message but it was all distorted, could you txt me the details"
short12··on Why Zillow Couldn’t Make Algorithmic House Pricing Work
It's a very complicated algorithm of weighted distributions of /dev/urandom
short12··on Why Zillow Couldn’t Make Algorithmic House Pricing Work
The Zestimate is seriously flawed to the point of it being utter crap.

The fact they used it as a basis for flipping homes makes me literally laugh. They were that delusional about their own shitty tech to just outright burn bails of money

short12··on Nukemap
Depends on what you want as an outcome. Instant death or slow and painful
short12··on Facebook Has 47 Data Centers Under Construction
Portions of Facebooks app have been facing lots of downtime.

And I disagree. They need more storage and processing power and will continue to do so. They are not going anywhere in the next couple of decades thats for sure

Meta will be a complete failure and be made fun of for years though

short12··on The burgeoning business of OnlyFans consulting
Show boobs

That will be one thousand dollars please

short12··on Google sent Pixel users a useless update
Agreed. Android 12 was a huge step backwards

The rounded everything is terrible

short12··on Ask HN: What do you think about the no-code movement?
It's stupid and doesn't really represent anything of substance
short12··on I'm “still afraid to use spaces in file names” years old
That actually seems like some low hanging fruit to go on a commit spree correcting code that hard codes paths
short12··on Business Essentials
Didnt they already try this and it was a huge failure
short12··on Hacking the Sony Playstation 5
I assume you would be mining on other people's hardware which drastically changes the equation
short12··on Hacking the Sony Playstation 5
That feels paying a hooker
short12··on Computer users fight 'bloatware' (1998)
The bloatware battle has come to an end...basically when you have 8-64 threads/cores. And 16gigs of ram or more. It really makes no difference how bloated it is
short12··on Metallurgist admits faking steel test results for US Navy subs
In that case drop criminal charges left and right. It's still illegal to commit treason right?
short12··on The Toxic Effects of Branding Your Workplace a “Family”
I would just assume that someone who calls their coworkers family are simply part of an organized crime group
short12··on Memory leaks are crippling my M1 MacBook Pro
It got the reputation because it is well deserved. The clickpad is far superior than macs and the software support is great
short12··on Drug Users Are Nostalgic for ‘Old-School Heroin’ as Fentanyl Takes Over
Even if I was doing a pretty hardcore drug I'd surely like it to be properly mix especially when it comes to an extremely hard to dose additive.

So I don't die

short12··on A photo on Wikipedia can ruin your life
I don't even use Wikipedia anymore. It's always the top link but it doesn't provide the info I care about. It's always a lengthy dense and dryly written article of who gives a shit
short12··on A photo on Wikipedia can ruin your life
HN moderation is pretty terrible considering the slow amount of posts per day
short12··on Pfizer's oral Covid-19 antiviral cuts hospitalization, death by 85%
All of them. Having some drugs laying around and handing them out as medication is wildly irresponsible
short12··on Pfizer's oral Covid-19 antiviral cuts hospitalization, death by 85%
Probably because the people will name-drop that particular brand. It's up to the doctor to responsibly prescribe it, whom probably heard of the drug because of other forms of marketing or flat out kickbacks
short12··on 'The way my boss monitored me at home was creepy'
Physically "disable" the spyware. Blame the damage that it must of been caused by said software

Look for a new job.

short12··on If Silence Is the Cost of Great Ramen, So Be It
Same experience here with some places. There is one really well known spot in Chicago that is supposed to be so good. It's right near restaurant row and it's obnoxiously loud, always has an insane wait and it's mediocre at best. For some reason people like it
short12··on Organ transplant patients may not get dementia
Organ donation is based on recently dead people. Heart, liver, kidneys, eyes etc are all up for grabs as soon as possible

I learned yesterday that a heart has a shelf life of about 6 hours and liver is 12
