Do you have a website?

Sources for that?
Where is that place and why isn't anyone doing anything about it?
Not sure what's exactly going on, but I am served this plain PHP file instead of the actual content. https://hastebin.com/yakojujoka.xml
Re:Europe mostly ends mobile roaming fees from today on Thursday June 15, 2017 @10:48AM (#14560897)
There wasn't a good, reasonable way to buy cheap roaming-data, at least not with my German contract. 150MB of roaming in the EU was 5€ with the purchase process (via SMS) being bugged and failing 50% of the time, sometimes charging my credit card instantly while delivering the "You can use your roaming data now" message days later when I was back home, customer support could not help because they "do not suggest that the data is available instantly". n=1, obviously.
Why does he sue two years after being fired? Sounds a bit fishy.

In the other hand, this sounds like something they might actually have done.

It would require extensive support from browser vendors, so if google got behind a proposal like that, it could probably be pulled off.

Most servers would likely use both protocols for quite a long time before one could be discarded.

That's exactly the reason why I, along with my circle of friends, moved to Snapchat.
Re:Snap values itself at nearly $24B with its IPO pricing on Thursday March 02, 2017 @05:33AM (#13773065)
Anecdote, but upwards of 80% of people younger than 25 I interact with in Germany use snapchat.
Re:AWS status updates not working due to S3 on Tuesday February 28, 2017 @03:47PM (#13757657)
Not sure about 2 - What are your arguments for this?

If the status page relies on getting updated information from the service, it may not even notice when the whole thing just crashes and goes down in flames. Attempting to do some predefined calls to the service to evaluate whether it is working correctly appears like a better solution?

Re:Travis CI is down on Tuesday February 28, 2017 @01:22PM (#13756200)
Unbelievable how much of the internet goes down when one company's network has issues.
“Most of my clients come in and say, ‘human resources isn’t helping me. They’re just protecting the company.’”

Once again, that is HR's job. They're not there to protect you, they are there to protect the company from lawsuits.

just imagine the effects on Alphabet's stock price
