The master race condition
  • Why abolish the word slave? I've heard of people advocating for abolishing the word "black" also. It's crazy to me. I don't understand how using the word at all somehow advocates for human slavery.

  • Cloudflare took down our website after trying to force us to pay $120000 within 24h
  • No no, you're really not far off. Few, if any people here are advocating for CF to continue to provide the same services for the same price. It seems clear to most (including the author) that a price increase was justified. The problem we're all having is how they went about it, agnostic of the client.

    (I don't care who the client was and don't care one way or the other about online casinos.)

  • Cloudflare took down our website after trying to force us to pay $120000 within 24h
  • Just because you don't like online casinos, doesn't mean cloudflare didn't completely fuck this up. They could have negotiated reasonable terms to increase their revenue on this account instead of going the route of stonewalling and extortion.

    So not only did they lose this customer, but this bad press will ensure a lot of others never sign up with them, potentially costing them millions in foregone sales.

    Yeah this was a massive boondoggle..

  • A Cool Guide For Excel
  • Once you start to learn Excel, you quickly realize the depths of the functions and understand that a one pager called "everything you can do in Excel" is laughably optimistic.

  • Anon hates aluminum
  • I still cringe at the "posted on x, formerly known as Twitter" wording everyone feels the need to use, even almost a year later.

    I think we should all just call it Twitter and ignore the name change.

  • Lyft and Uber say they will leave Minneapolis after city council forces them to pay drivers more
  • I don't know the economics, truly, but there are a LOT more expenses involved in running a large business like Uber on top of driver wages, such as technology service and hardware costs, programmers and central admin/customer service, rent or cost of buildings including utilities, insurance, taxes, fees, consulting and auditing, cybersecurity, legal, and probably quite a bit more I can't think of. Running a business is friggin expensive.

    Definitely not defending paying workers less, just trying to explain why they still might not be in the black even in your scenario.
