BunnyCDN don't run their own network, most of their servers are hosted at DataPacket(.com), but they use some other hosting companies too.
DataPacket has a very large network though and is kind of, sort of EU-based. AFAIK most operations are in Czechia, but the company is registered in UK. And there's also the Luxembourg-based Gcore.
it's already there and fully supported and accelerated by switches and connected hardware, switches like juniper do have licensing fees to use such features, but a company like AWS can surely work around these licensing costs and build an in-house solution.
So it should be free? The bank already has "money". It's already there so you can take it?
That's not how it works.
Do you not get a managed service where someone upgrades it, deals with outages etc? Are those people that work 24/7 free or is it another "already there"?
fair point, but the pricing of NATs is so low that it would actually take more effort to create billing for it than to just have it be free, it's clearly a choice to maximize profits for every single resource regardless of complexity or cost - that is my problem.
And there are things that come for free when you have instrastructure this big and expansive - one-time configuration and you either monetize it or pass down the savings and since every cloud service is in agreement that profits should be maximized you end up with cloud providers which have massive datacenters at very cheap cost due to economies of scale providing it at a value far exceeding normal hosting practices due to their ability to monopolize and spend vasts amount of money onboarding businesses with false promises which errodes the infrastructure for non-cloud solutions and makes cloud providers the only choice for any business as the talent and software ends up going into maintenance mode and/or turns towards higher profitability to keep themselves afloat.
You can't read English like if it was a declarative logical language. It is obviously an hyperbole to say "everyone". It means "a lot of people". So why they didn't say "a lot of people"? Language uses hyperboles to make a point stronger.
Ma Bell was never profitable without government cheese. And her offspring can’t do much but complain about how every one else is making huge margins over “their” infrastructure.
I asked last year and was told 404 is the source of too many copycat low quality posts and they have a paywall. In the year since, a bunch of their original reporting has hit the front page and driven interesting discussions.
Just to clarify for anyone reading. 404 does not have a paywall. They have an account wall. Some articles require you to be signed into a free account to read.
As a noob here on HN, that's what I gathered from your previous comment:
> In the year since, a bunch of their original reporting has hit the front page
So, a year ago, before my time, 404 media was moderated in a way that seemed like a ban, but now it no longer appears to be shadowbanned, is that what I'm learning?
If a 404media article makes it to the front page, it's because enough people happened to vouch a [dead] article, which is quite unusual and involves a lot of luck (since most people don't have showdead enabled). Nothing has changed on the mod side as far as I'm aware.
