It shouldn't be tho. Cloudflare is a single business and no single business should EVER have that kind of power over a gov't.

It's Cloudflare's hubris showing in a very unstrategic way ... and I hope Brazil/America/the world calls them on it.

Proof?

That's a reasonable compromise.

... in your opinion.

The union did not immediately include other details about the polling, including how many members participated. Source

Not everything.

On Feb. 8, Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, chairman of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, wrote a letter to the leaders of six Class I railroads, urging them to guarantee at least seven paid sick days for all of their workers.

“Last year, the companies you lead made over $22 billion in profits,” Sanders wrote, noting that they had cut 30% of the workforce over the last six years. “Guaranteeing seven paid sick days to rail workers would cost your industry just $321 million.”

Russo is grateful that Sanders stepped in. “We truly compliment his effort to bring dignity to workers in the rail industry,” he said. “Without it, we very likely would not have gotten what we have gained today.”

The NYT says X is bypassing the block using Cloudflare, but if they block Cloudflare it means they block 24 million sites in Brazil. (I find it strange Cloudflare is jumping into this mess.)

Now, those same regulators are trying to figure out how to fight Mr. Musk’s latest workaround.

Technical experts said it would not be simple. X’s new approach relies on Cloudflare, a major internet-infrastructure provider based in San Francisco, to deliver its site in Brazil. Cloudflare helps route traffic for millions of websites, so blocking it in Brazil would have major consequences for internet users across the nation of 200 million.

Think of it as if X’s car was blocked in Brazil and so it just began using Uber to get around — and now regulators are weighing whether to block Uber for everyone in response.

“You can’t just block Cloudflare because you would block half of the internet,” said Basílio Perez, president of Abrint, the trade group for Brazilian internet providers. He said Cloudflare supported more than 24 million websites, including those of the Brazilian government and banks.

But they ARE in the same ballpark tho.

I don't see the vast difference you do.

Can't/won't be led by a black woman (or any woman for that matter).

I worked in a unionized saw mill previously and you have no idea how misogynistic places like that are ... still ... in the 21st fucking century.

just as Zelenskyy could end the people fleeing Ukraine by accepting a peace deal.

But no bona fide peace deal has been put on the table. Putin's demands have and that's it.

So not the same things at all.

... and the more Russians flee, the more they have to do to get labor and troops.

Well technically they don't 'have' to do that, ie: if Putin put his dick back in his pants and shut down the war, Russian citizens wouldn't be leaving en masse.

Well fuck. :/

That's fair. Don't know why you're getting downvoted for stating the facts tho.

You're welcome. :)

The reports called on the EPA to take “appropriate corrective action” in response to the findings. In one case, the inspector general noted that supervisors who violate the Whistleblower Protection Act should be suspended for at least three days.

The reports focus only on the retaliation claims. The inspector general is expected to issue reports in the future about the whistleblowers’ scientific allegations.

Under the orange asshole's reign.

Don't ever forget what Trump did, because he will do worse if he's elected again.

Sorry about that. Here's an archived link.

Israel's spy agency Mossad, which has a long history of sophisticated operations on foreign soil, planted explosives inside pagers imported by Hezbollah months before Tuesday's detonations, a senior Lebanese security source and another source told Reuters.

The level of racist brutality in Israel always astounds me.

Capitalism evolved from Calvinism (see Max Weber), so the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

The thing to consider is that well-developed, critially thinking humans should be weighing the cost of their decisions. I mean it's in the bible ffs so all these right wingnuts SHOULD be paying attention.

Luke 14:28-30

“But don’t begin until you count the cost. For who would begin construction of a building without first calculating the cost to see if there is enough money to finish it? Otherwise, you might complete only the foundation before running out of money, and then everyone would laugh at you. They would say, ‘There’s the person who started that building and couldn’t afford to finish it!’

But this isn't generative AI, where AI creates an outcome. It simply notified the staff OF the outcome of human-performed tests.

I get AI is scary. We should be wary of how much control we give it. But in this case it had no control over any outcome.

Capitalism only does the right then when it doesn't cost them. As soon as there's a real cost, doing the right thing goes down the drain.
