Brian, you need to step off your high horse. Few people can go around saying that they are the best, and you’re not one of them.
It was also embarrassing to listen to the podcast episode where you humiliated that Eastern European guy you had invited. All very off putting and it really tarnish the brand.
I was on a consultant-assignment at a company that got raided by the police in the EU. The police was extremely careful not to scan any data that where stored on US-servers. The company used Google for mail and file storage, so all computers had to be taken offline before they could scan them.
While I don't doubt they have a way of getting permission to access that data, I don't think they will put in the effort unless you're a relally big fish.
> - I can't pay with my credit/debit cards there so I need to get their alipay pay app. There is KYC required to upload my government ID.
It's not so odd that the Chinese choose to use their domestic payment system over a US one. You probably needed a government ID to get your credit/debit card too (at least when you opened your bank account).
I'm not saying the Chinese surveillance system isn't horrible, but the western ones are catching up quickly with the adoption of Flock cameras everywhere and Palantir analyzing every bit of digital footprint you leave. Is there anyone who think there isn't a non-negliable risk that people will walk around with a "jew star" marking in the US in the coming 5-10 years?
Yes, Lettermint looks great if you need both transactional and marketing emails. But it's a bit weird that the OP selected Lettermint over Scaleway for just transactional emails when they use lots of other Scaleway services.
Same here. I tried different EU providers before I migrated our servers off the US clouds and Hetzner demanded my passport and webcam live verification. Thats a HUGE red flag and we went with Scaleway instead. Happy I found out what a shitty company Hetzner are before I invested more time in them.
In Anthropics defense they make sure that no company can rely on them by being down all the time... And LLMs have become a commodity these days, so you can seamlessly just fail over to another supplier WHEN they go down.
Surly this post must have the opposite effect of what he intended. Even if you side with Cloudflare on the core issue this post is so cringy my butthole collapsed into itself.
Are Americans not embarrassed by the way these tech bros operate? As a European it’s obvious that the US gone from an allied to an enemy. I would feel like a traitor if I picked US tech these days.
That’s why you should only export anonymous information to external parties. There is no valid reason for OpenAI to export my personal information like this.
I will report OpenAI to the data protection agency in my country and I encourage others to do the same. They can not blame Mixpanel when they sprinkle others personal information around like this. NOT OK.
What is not realistic? To do simple input validation on data that has the potential to break 20% of the internet? To not have a system in place to rollback to the latest known state when things crash?
Cloudflare builds a global scale system, not an iphone app. Please act like it.
But at the same time, what value do they add if they:
* Took down the the customers sites due to their bug.
* Never protected against an attack that our infra could not have handled by itself.
* Don't think that they will be able to handle the "next big ddos" attack.
It's just an extra layer of complexity for us. I'm sure there are attacks that could help our customers with, that's why we're using them in the first place. But until the customers are hit with multiple ddos attacks that we can not handle ourself then it's just not worth it.
How can you write the proxy without handling the config containing more than the maximum features limit you set yourself?
How can the database export query not have a limit set if there is a hard limit on number of features?
Why do they do non-critical changes in production before testing in a stage environment?
Why did they think this was a cyberattack and only after two hours realize it was the config file?
Why are they that afraid of a botnet? Does not leave me confident that they will handle the next Aisuru attack.
I'm migrating my customers off Cloudflare. I don't think they can swallow the next botnet attacks and everyone on Cloudflare go down with the ship, so it will be safer to not be behind Cloudflare when it hits.
