I have seen a lot of people call it cloudstrike and not a lot of other variants, so I assumed it was due to crowdstrike and cloudflare being so similar.

If you were to stick a pin in a timeline at the exact moment Silicon Valley declared war on Hollywood, it would likely land on Aug. 29, 1997. That’s the date Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph got together in Scotts Valley, about an hour south of San Francisco, and started a little DVD delivery company called Netflix.

Weird bit of critihype that ignores a massive amounts of things. Napster and Blockbuster for example. Massively overestimates the power of SV imho, and a bit ironic as of all the various media providers like Netflix, netflix is often not considered that highly from what I can tell. (In .nl iirc the big non-american providers are also the NPO and Videoland owned by RTL. Both traditional players in the market.

The cover is something but also think it is AI generated (the sabers don't actually clash in the next second both of those nerds are getting enlightened by lightsaber), pretty sad they still copyright it to somebody.

People are so trained to shout at Cloudflare for protecting the neo-nazi sites that this is every understandable.

Image descriptionSimpsons cartoon, Marge shouts 'Cloudflare, no!' to her left. Bart, with the Cloudflare logo on his head walks in from the right, 'What?'. Marge apologizes to Bart, 'Sorry force of habit'. Marge shouts 'Crowdstrike, no!'.

Practically is there much difference?

Inventor of the ideological turing test (Bryan Caplan, occasional intellectual sparring partner of SSC) doesn't understand how vaccines work.

(E: And he is certainly not joking. More: My doctor, and all of you were wrong because I didn't explain myself well (this longer post, while coming closer to a point still sucks. High 'shooting the people who clean phones into space' feeling))

Thanks! Indeed, I keep forgetting Chevron. Not sure how far this replacement is related however, but there should be a different priority indeed. Hope she pulls it off, people seem happy with Waltz at least. He also seems like a mostly decent person. Worst I saw people go was compare him to Boss Hogg, which is quite the dated reference.

Hope they are better at building AI than building sites, the animation of it ticking up to the correct values only worked once (looks like that animation is triggered by scrolling the page so if you just F5 on the stats it doesn't work).

As I'm no longer able to pronounce gif correctly (I started calling it jif ironically) I'm a firm believer in you will eventually turn into that which you pretend to be.

I heard that one of Bidens good things is to put actually effect people on antitrust laws. Sadly I also heard that Harris is planning on putting somebody else on there.
