Breaking news big tech guy gets to do nothing and still get paid

While digging deep to speed up a website loading time, Cloudflare's offerings made the biggest difference. Rocketloader and a few others. Immediately noticeable.

Maybe that's why the keep hosting extremist content.

I thought Cloudflare generally refuses to serve those kinds of sites. What content is Cloudflare serving that is extremist?

Many torrent sites, that's a kind of extremism.

In, or by ?

> I'm sure that there are services that do this, but I very much doubt they are the $400 per month services you are talking about

Costs me 160 / month for 4hrs / week.


So many people talking like cleaning services don't exist


> I don't want to hire out a cleaning service and deal with the whole human component.

I've used on in the past, but I found that I was routinely dissatisfied with how they were doing things and I felt I needed to maintain a certain level of tidiness to allow them to clean properly. I think there is an intrinsic cost to having hired staff in one's home that most consumers would be factoring in, consciously or not.


I'd want cleaning to happen every day during the week/

Probably $80/day for someone to do everything I want done. 20 days a month.

$1,600/month.

It'd take two years, and the robot has paid for itself.


Or Laravel's Eloquent


Add some dickpicks because who doesn't have something on their phone that they don't want others to see.


Multiple decoy accounts, heh. First one: cat pics. Second one: dick pics. Third one: conversations with an imaginary mistress. Fourth one: porn that's illegal in Korea. Fifth one: ....

completely impractical obviously


> a perfectly valid answer

Makes no difference at all in the real world. You don't have to give valid answers, you need to get the guy across from you to not find you suspicious. That phrase is going to put a red flag on you, valid or not.


> you need to get the guy across from you to not find you suspicious.

What? No, who cares about that? Let him find you suspicious, what matters is that he doesn’t access your data. And it is not suspicious to cross borders (esp. US borders) with burner phones. As others have said, it is standard practice.


He doesn't access your data. He confiscates your phone, then still doesn't access your data, then denies you entry, then still doesn't access your data, then holds you in immigration detention for a week while he tries to access your data, which he can't. Is that a success? Maybe, if your data really is that valuable and a successful border crossing isn't.


> Is that a success?

Definitely.

> Maybe, if your data really is that valuable and a successful border crossing isn't.

Even if my data consisted entirely of cat pictures, it would be more valuable than successfuly crossing the border into a country that actively tries to invade my privacy.


Well why are you showing up at a border crossing if you don't want to cross the border?


To cross said border with my burner phone in my pocket and do whatever I need to do on the other side, why else? You do realise that is by far the most likely outcome, yes?


You may wish to cross the border but not at all costs.


But you already knew the country invades your privacy.


This country may, or may not, ask me to hand over my burner phone for inspection. Then it may, or may not, deny me entry.


Clearly someone who probably never been on the receiving end of those kind of situations turned bad.


Like how many ?
