I like how the progress bars moves off screen if you get too excited with the button. Point made :)

Anybody know the logic behind the counter? It sometimes jumps over numbers.

All of them increase the score by 1 except:

Free Storage!!!!

That increases by 10. I took out the "You Gave Away Too Much Free Storage" which was a -20 :P

O(1)? Edit: the site didn't make it, I just think the stylized name was cool. O for Object and (1) cause it's fast. Or it would be. I'm not building it.

Q1

I assume Q1 is just a service called Queen - it excels at everything and looks amazing doing it.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

If consumers are so likely to confuse "S3" and "R2" that a court would grant trademark enforcement to S3 over this, then Mazda could have successfully sued BMW over the confusion between MX-2 and M3, not to mention the total havoc such a court judgment would wreak upon the SMT labeling industry: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28777350 If Cloudflare had an entire AWS-simulation business and was making a clear ef…

Lucky you! And I've recently had a bad experience with Cloudflare support, but I'm still making my offhand comment, because recently an AWS sales rep told me that the formal support process for one of their enterprise products is, paraphrased, "post to a discussion forum, and if I'm not on vacation, I'll see it and escalate internally to get you support" in as many words. I actually restated it to them to confirm and they paused noticeably before unhappily saying "Yes, that's correct". So it'll be a while before they earn back my respect in that particular regard — I may be upset at receiving poor support one time, but it's still better than not even having a ticketing system available from the other.

Things get really confusing when you also use SAP R/3, migrating it to S/4: "So the S/4 gets some of its data from R/3 via S3 and writes reports to R2 which are used for a consolidated view in R/3 as long as the analysis isn't migrated to S/4 which will get all data via S3."

"Excuse me, sir. Seeing as how the V.P. is such a V.I.P., shouldn't we keep the P.C. on the Q.T.? 'Cause if it leaks to the V.C. he could end up M.I.A., and then we'd all be put out in K.P."

R.I.P.

AWS has 24/7 phone/email/chat support on the business and enterprise support plans (with severity-based SLAs) with not only a ticketing system but a case management API, and business hours support on their developer support plan. Your sales rep sounds like they just want to maintain control of the relationship.

Reminds me of HAL Laboratory (videogame developer involved with the original Super Smash Bros. and its sequel, Super Smash Bros. Melee) who did the same thing except with IBM.

Was that before or after HAL in 2001 space odyssey?
