Yes, that. People downvote anything these days.

>People downvote anything these days. Maybe because you said something crudely insensitive in a community that might know the victims, and definitely includes people who do similar jobs? I hope none of your friends or family ever get char broiled.

Yeah, Hacker News that bastion of tolerance and civility is aghast at gallows humor. I'm shocked! Shocked I say!

Oh well, I guess shitting all over women and minorities in tech is a more comfortable target for this demographic.

Expensive for you, but for Google it is nothing. A bug in their Ad placement stack would cost more.

Google ads outages often have positive revenue impact because with the quality systems down or impaired they may briefly serve tons of junk that pays a lot but users hate.

Slowly mix in 12oz of OKR obsession, some salt, and you have a recipe for low quality ads, fairly often.

The irony. Google understands that HSTS negatively impacts availability massively, and shouldn't be used for production websites, but recommends it to others.

Don't forget enforcing it on certain TLDs, even for internal DNS records used for testing.

Yes, but also I put a lot of the blame for this on ICANN's greed. They could've and should've refused to issue .dev, if they were doing a good and responsible job stewarding the domain space.
