    I will not buy a phone without a 3.5" jack period. I'm not buying ridiculously expensive wireless headphones that are objectively worse (worse quality than wired alternatives, adde…

    I don't think so. Is wanting to abolish marriage altogether being against straight people? Gay marriage != gay people. From what I've seen, the majority of people against gay marri…

    That sounds like a false equivalency to me. How is being against gay marriage being against gay people? As far as I'm aware, there were a certain amount of gay people who didn't wa…

    Just curious, why do you consider someone against gay marriage to be anti-gay?

    YouTube ads are really egregious and extremely annoying, and the option to block them (YouTube Red) isn't even available in my country. So I'm forced to use other methods of ad blo…

    They need to find a business model that isn't based around outright deception to survive. I have zero sympathy for them.

    They're broke and they need at least $750MM to $1B in the bank to operate effectively as a company.

    You should research all tenets of basic income including the economic side of it by getting the opinion of actual economists on it before you make your decision. If you're not prop…

    The only reason you'd ever lash out at a competitor for copying you is because you have an inferior product overall. If you were winning, you wouldn't care. Build something better.…

    This is pretty damning. It's pretty amazing how Oculus will lose the VR battle despite being "first". The HTC Vive and other more open solutions for developers that aren't behind a…

    Not really, all of those things mentioned need constant security patches even if they don't receive new features. You can't have an insecure Microsoft free application on a non-EOL…

    Have a separate domain that points to your real origin IP. This is how I do it. I have company.com and companyprivate.com (obviously named so it's not so obvious they are related).…

    A great deal of DDoS services are essentially MITM intermediaries. Akamai, Black Lotus and others do the same thing. Why is CloudFlare the bad guy? They have an exemplary record th…

    I don't agree at all. I think CloudFlare is almost a public utility at this point, and they should offer services to anyone and be completely blind to the content they are serving.…

    I don't understand why they need to make these cuts. It's Microsoft - they surely have access to extremely cheap hard drives through bulk purchasing. What's 10GB?

    OVH will nullroute you in about 3 seconds if you're affecting the stability of their network. I've been hit with a very large DDoS attack before, and our host nullrouted us because…

    By never revealing the IP address of the origin. Conceal it completely behind CF. A properly configured CF setup will mean your real server IP never gets revealed ever.

    Cloudflare is cheap, and you can easily stick Cloudflare in front of your AWS/GCS boxes.

    Correct. Facebook censors certain topics, but at least they're honest about it. Twitter claims it isn't happening at all, which is a clear lie.

    No question about censorship on the platform. Extremely disappointing. Twitter is being wielded as a political censorship weapon.
