You dont get it, =commercial datacenter ip ranges are blacklisted or trigger flags

I did, they want me to fax credit card details to their fax number (who the hell uses fax in this day and age?) which I done and no reply

I doubt anyone monitors it, everytime I ring them they bounce me from idiot to idiot

I now need access to some invoices for purchases I made last year for accountant but cant login, and of course all my digital purchases are gone, the 2 kindles are useless.

Amazon closes customer accounts left right and center too, good luck getting thru to anyone human then despite being a decade long customer with thousands of digital purchases going poof.

People keep recommending VPSs or ssh/vps/socks running on a VPS

the problem is that if you go to likes of amazon and then place an order your account will be yanked in minutes

good luck then trying to get anyone human there to help you, you are automatically blacklisted

I hate these buttons on news sites, they slow down page loads considerably

Lets assume we develop technology to travel at near light speeds and go mad colonising the universe, what exactly contains us to the observable universe, move 4 light years in another direction and your observable horizon shifts

Because that is the prevalent scientific opinion

We are on a course for a confluence of some major technologies this century which could result in another great leap forward.

Anyways i forgot why i dont bother to reply much on this site, got down voted for my above comment yet no indication as to why (is it my comment about working on advertising? its ok that's what I work in too myself have to pay bills somehow, but would rather do something more interesting).

Considering we live in an infinite universe I do not see why economic growth can not continue even accelerate.

Especially seeing that sometime this century we will get cheap space travel (getting there) and AI (getting there) and transition from fossil fuels to renewables and fusion (getting there)

Tho' yes seeing how some of our best and brightest are working on how to serve more ads and how to get people spend their free time locked in their walled garden...

Britain has enough of "experts" apparently https://next.ft.com/content/3be49734-29cb-11e6-83e4-abc22d5d...

The whole Brexit hoopla was filled with dishonesty and anti-intellectualism that would make likes of Trump proud

no wonder scientists are suffering, sure who needs experts...

Yeh they lost a customer there, anyways can buy from Steam now direct with bitcoin most of time there are great offers there too.

edit: oh look downvoted for speaking my mind, go HN groupjerk

After reading the whole PDF document of the complaint one thing jumped out

Here we have Apple, Google, Facebook, Coinbase, FDC Servers and few others handing over info on email accounts, wallets, hosting records and so on.

Incredible, its almost becoming routine now!

Under Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (18 U.S.C. 1030) it is a federal crime to "intentionally access a computer without authorization or exceed authorized access" ...

An eager prosecutor could take that and run a mile

UK with its house of Lords, no constitution, monarch as head of state, and members of parliament who somehow seem to come from same schools/universities is not exactly the best example of Democracy

But hey look at EU over there

Yes because hackers who go around DDOSing entities care about perjury

There is an easier way, send a DMCA request, Cloudflare been bleeding ips of their customers in that manner for years
