right? it's a shame hacker news doesn't let you reply to old comments, there's a few threads I'd like to follow up on from people who refused to believe Elon was destroying twitter

I think I had someone do the old sarcastic "remind me of this in one year" under one of my posts predicting technical doom for Twitter.

Definitely a good one to revisit.

Found it, in response to me saying Twitter was dead but it just didn't realise it yet a poster said

"i'm favoriting this so i can come back to it, like that dropbox comment."

Delicious.

Yeh, except you're completely wrong. I tried to point this out below. It's not even a DDoS, it's fake news.

it's a 429 error, so the developer who posted this is an idiot. they're not even wrong. the 429 doesn't even touch twitter's infrastructure. the HTTPS TLS terminates at a Google VM, which gets relayed depending on the VIP used to hit it, but the traffic never gets past that Google VM. This is literally /HOW/ companies deal with DDOS.

it's unbelievable that my median salary for the past decade is $3,000 after several years of "Startup" followed by "How to Start a Reboot of My Life"

I think it’s intents like yours which is why they’re not allowed. Shame, because there are some genuine value in having it too..
