> the talent required to clone Cloudflare is rare Talent is everywhere, but a lot of people who have it don't want to move to a big city. So IMO, the next Cloudflare's developers should be as widely dispersed as its POPs. Edit: The more recently added part of your comment is very insightful, and I hadn't thought about it that way. Still, I think we could go a lot further with old-school hosting providers if we traded…

GC'd langs like golang, crystal, nim, etc. would probably be just as effective in practice, while remaining more accessible to business app developers.

.NET Core benchmarks since Span have been very interesting, especially relevant to this particular discussion because ASP.NET (web stack) was a primary consumer/driver for Span APIs.

After they abandoned 8chan, I don't think I'll ever trust this company again.

Same here regarding the 10GB, and have been on the wait list since April 1st.

Yep. Same here. I assume they are working through the waitlist. I'm going to give them a couple days to get it sorted before asking customer support about it. Edit: My 10GB came through. Looks like release day latency.

Same, just receive the notification about the 10GB.

Source? That seems like a huge caveat - WARP protects your privacy except for specific sites you visit that Cloudflare silently decides on?

That’s not the same thing - they could provide your IP to the site you visit in an added header or something without compromising your privacy from your ISP. That doesn’t imply they aren’t routing traffic to some websites.

What crime did 8chan commit? I don't mean what did they do that you don't like, I mean what actual crime?

Where did I say they created a crime? Perhaps your lust for viewing mass murder in real-time must be slaked by 8chan, but I have no such interest. Nor should it be the go to place to encourage or host such content. Stop being obtuse.

Could you please stop posting in the flamewar style to HN? You've done it more than once, and that's not what we're trying for here.

their ceo previously took a 'stand' before buckling

I have no reason to doubt that the CEO believes in free speech. Many people share this belief. He did buckle, but we're only human. But did the pressure come from an angry mob on twitter, as most people assume, or from some guys wearing shades and an earpiece?

i don't doubt his belief, only his conviction.

I would not be surprised to find out that companies that have significant exposure to video game users have much higher DDOS risks.

We were hit hard by Chinese IP addresses. After a while we just blocked the entire Chinese IP range. Expecting script kiddies to try to hack our system, we started out with a Federal Reserve quality hardware firewall, and I suspect the presence of that security attracted attention.

Are you going out of your way to forward the original IP to the end recipient? What's the point of that? Is it to support IP authenticated logins or similar?

From the deafening silence I'm going to take the less charitable interpretation that it's meant to enable Cloudflare to essentially sell Warp users' IPs to Cloudflare customers as an added perk.

That is a bit worrying.

Tried on Android 9, installed the VPN and turned on "always-on" mode and "disallow non-VPN connections". Telegram and Instagram stopped to work, so I uninstalled.
