the jobs that lead to potential upward mobility aren't in Lincoln. Plus, this kind of forward-thinking (incur $15k worth of debt now, pay it off with money saved on rent later) is really difficult for someone like myself who already has a lot of debt.
> The problem was that other Cloudflare customers started calling and threatening to cancel their service if Cloudflare didn't cut the Daily Stormer off.
This is not the excuse they used back in August. Back then, the CEO said "The Daily Stormer site was bragging on their bulletin boards about how Cloudflare was one of them and that is the opposite of everything we believe. That was the tipping point for me.”
This is one thing I can't stand about the Bay Area. Roommates are for college kids. It is not normal to be 30 years old, making over 100k, and living with roommates. But everyone I know lives like this, including myself.
I worry about the next generation. They say that wealth skips every other generation, because if a child grows up in a well-to-do family, they will not value hard work as much.
The article only says they found a "security risk". I wonder what that is, and how it would allow identity theft if they are actually using public/private keys. Did Estonia secretly backdoor their encryption?
Undoubtedly Equifax will claim that the hackers were agents of a sovereign power, to escape liability. Regardless, they admitted on their own web page that there was a flaw in their web application.
Biometrics would be a terrible idea. Mass surveillance, anyone?
The whole Civil Rights Movement came about as a result of a faction of armed rebellion against the US in the 1960s! I suppose you think it was a mistake to let them have the right to be heard back then?
Political affiliation is a protected class. I don't really know what the word "Nazi" means these days because people have used it to label everyone from far-right conservatives to Trump voters to people who self-identify as neo-Nazis. Unless a person registered with the NSDAP prior to 1945, technically they are not a Nazi.
I'm talking about the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which outlaws discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. You can discriminate against red-haired people but not black people.
What about the question of, WHY is Cloudflare responsible for 10% of internet requests? Who are there competitors, and at what point should these service providers be subjected to antitrust laws?
> Also the cake incident also involved the owners posting the names and phone numbers of the gay couple on facebook and asked people to harass them.
Wait a minute... where did you see that? This is the first time I have heard this part of the story. I thought the owners simply said "no", and then got sued for several hundred thousand dollars.
The Christian bakers were sued and then forced to bake a wedding cake for a gay couple because sexual orientation is a protected class. "Alt-right" or whatever Daily Stormer is, is not a protected class. "Political party" is a protected class, which puts Daily Stormer in a possibly fuzzy territory (I have never read Daily Stormer so I don't know if they count as a political publication).
