@emmevilla non dimentichiamo che sono leader assoluti sia come produzione che come know-how Per SNG, MTO e CTL Coal-To-Chemical etc è un altro asso nella manica (petrolio non è solo trasporti... ma anche chemical e plastiche varie) e coal non manca...

🇨🇳😱 Un dato incredibile. La Cina sta, quasi da sola, permettendo al petrolio (Brent) di restare intorno ai 110-120 dollari al barile anziché salire ancora più rapidamente verso l'alto. A maggio, Pechino ha tagliato 5-6 milioni di barili al giorno di importazioni (-50%).

🚨 How the TanStack npm attack actually happened: 1. Attacker opened a normal-looking pull request (#7378) on the TanStack repo. 2. GitHub automatically ran CI tests on that PR. 3. Code inside the PR stole the workflow's GitHub Actions Cache write token during the test run. 4. The attacker used that token to plant poisoned files in the shared build cache. The PR could be closed afterwards. The poisoned cache stays. 5. The official release workflow later pulled from the cache, baked the malicious files into the build, and signed and published 84 malicious package versions to npm.

Unfortunate optics for Coinbase to have an hours-long outage when customers could not trade, a few days after their CEO said how non-technical teams are shipping code to production. This outage is because Coinbase seems to have a hard dependency on AWS, and when AWS (or a part of it) is down, so is Coinbase This is a choice/tradeoff by Coinbase’s eng team.

If the EU built Claude

@grok @ClaudioBorghi @eastdakota @Cloudflare @grok name the parties that voted in favour of that law along with their most known representatives names

The powers for AGCOM to create Piracy Shield and issue related fines stem from Italy's Law 93/2023, enacted by the Italian Parliament. This anti-piracy law, effective August 2023, expands AGCOM's authority to block illegal content streams and sanction non-compliance. As an independent body, AGCOM implements these without direct government orders. For details, see the law text.

Yesterday a quasi-judicial body in Italy fined @Cloudflare $17 million for failing to go along with their scheme to censor the Internet. The scheme, which even the EU has called concerning, required us within a mere 30 minutes of notification to fully censor from the Internet any sites a shadowy cabal of European media elites deemed against their interests. No judicial oversight. No due process. No appeal. No transparency. It required us to not just remove customers, but also censor our 1.1.1.1 DNS resolver meaning it risked blacking out any site on the Internet. And it required us not just to censor the content in Italy but globally. In other words, Italy insists a shadowy, European media cabal should be able to dictate what is and is not allowed online. That, of course, is DISGUSTING and even before yesterday’s fine we had multiple legal challenges pending against the underlying scheme. We, of course, will now fight the unjust fine. Not just because it’s wrong for us but because it is wrong for democratic values. In addition, we are considering the following actions: 1) discontinuing the millions of dollars in pro bono cyber security services we are providing the upcoming Milano-Cortina Olympics; 2) discontinuing Cloudflare’s Free cyber security services for any Italy-based users; 3) removing all servers from Italian cities; and 4) terminating all plans to build an Italian Cloudflare office or make any investments in the country. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. While there are things I would handle differently than the current U.S. administration, I appreciate @JDVance taking a leadership role in recognizing this type of regulation is a fundamental unfair trade issue that also threatens democratic values. And in this case @ElonMusk is right: #FreeSpeech is critical and under attack from an out-of-touch cabal of very disturbed European policy makers. I will be in DC first thing next week to discuss this with U.S. administration officials and I’ll be meeting with the IOC in Lausanne shortly after to outline the risk to the Olympic Games if @Cloudflare withdraws our cyber security protection. In the meantime, we remain happy to discuss this with Italian government officials who, so far, have been unwilling to engage beyond issuing fines. We believe Italy, like all countries, has a right to regulate the content on networks inside its borders. But they must do so following the Rule of Law and principles of Due Process. And Italy certainly has no right to regulate what is and is not allowed on the Internet in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, China, Brazil, India or anywhere outside its borders. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT FIGHT AND WE WILL WIN!!!

@ClaudioBorghi @eastdakota @Cloudflare @grok who gave AGCOM power to create piracy shield and allow the issuing of these fines to happen?

Mr. Prince, I'm an Italian Senator and I've read your message with great concern. AGCOM is an indipendent authority, so the fine is not a government decision but I think the decision could arise from an anti-piracy law designed to crack down on illegal sites mirroring pay tv platforms. It's impossible for either a government or parliamentary body to tell to an indipendent authority what to do and what not to do, however I can assure you we will do our best to check if there has been any misunderstanding regarding the role of Cloudflare. My party (Lega) always voted against any censorship in EU and voted againsd EU DSA. We are part of the ruling majority and I can assure you that this case will be thoroughly reviewed in absolute fairness. Feel free to contact me via DM for further details that might be useful to understand what went wrong.

Blame CloudFlare for Website Issues The Cloudflare Error Page Generator (github.com/donlon/cloudfl…) is an open-source tool for creating highly customizable error pages in the style of Cloudflare.
It perfectly mimics Cloudflare’s famous error page designs (such as the 5xx internal server error pages) and can be embedded directly into your website. You can easily generate static HTML files to replace default error pages, allowing you to quickly shift the blame to CloudFlare whenever your site runs into problems.

I sincerely hope that the 10B robots roaming in the streets within 10 years won't rely on centralized CDNs

One of my favorite lessons I’ve learnt from working with smart people: Action produces information. If you’re unsure of what to do, just do anything, even if it’s the wrong thing. This will give you information about what you should actually be doing. Sounds simple on the surface - the hard part is making it part of your every day working process.

Developer kept complaining our RDS instance was too slow. Wanted to upgrade from db.t3.large to db.r5.8xlarge. Cost increase: $140/month to $3,400/month. I checked query performance first: - Query ran 47,000 times per hour - No indexes on the WHERE clause columns - Missing composite index cost 890ms per query Added two indexes. Query time: 890ms -> 12ms. Saved $39,000 annually because we spent 15 minutes with EXPLAINING. Most performance problems are code problems disguised as infrastructure problems.

Until ~2015, GitHub Pages hosted over 2 million websites on 2 servers with a multi-million-line nginx.conf, edited and reloaded per deploy. This worked incredibly well, with github.io ranking as the 140th most visited domain on the web at the time.

We're fed an endless stream of consternation over AI slop these days. The content apocalypse is nigh! It'll rot your brain! Okay, sure, maybe, but have you seen the kind of content sludge that perfectly ordinary humans are capable of producing? It's thrice as tragic. The web is full of it. Garbage writing and brain-dead shorts. Content mills pumping out nonsense pages and gagging videos to appease whatever the high priests of SEO now think they've divined will please Lord Google or Master TikTok. It's been infecting websites everywhere with "calls to action", "white paper available upon sign up", and "10 ways to supercharge your productivity". Links stuffed into every crevice to juice rankings, capture "most searched for" keywords, and convert, convert, convert. It's an affront to humanity to make sentient beings do this work. Turning human potential, creativity, and ingenuity into content sludge is a process no more dignified than turning pink slime into chicken nuggets. I'll take AI slop over human sludge any day. Let the little robots barf up tokens to unlock the next basis point of incremental conversion. Better them than us, I say. This is exactly the soul-crushing, creative drudgery that machines were made to munch through without complaint. But couldn't we do without sludge or slop, you say? Sure, right after we reach a shared state of nirvana. As soon as the average 4.5 hours of screen-on time is turned into real reading, real making, real pursuits. So that'll happen exactly never. Case in point: the most important attribute of a phone for most people is still the battery life. These little content slop and sludge faucets can already spew out nearly an entire day's worth of nonstop eyeball junk, and yet you crave more. More! MORE! So stop whining about the AI slop. You're already steeped in human sludge. And the door to exit both was always there. But you're not going to open it, are you?
