Gotta love when the front page of hacker news takes down a blog


This is beautiful.


Unlikely but a few of their datacenters are down the street from one another so could be related. We'll know when/if they tell us the cause.

They have backup power systems and multiple backbone connections.


How can someone doing research on these patterns not have read the most basic/important piece of literature on the subject?


Why is this news? Code Blocks has been around for ages. If they're talking about the latest release the title should be updated.

More like #21stcenturyproblems...


Honestly when banks have crappy websites it makes me really feel like the engineers doing the backend work are terrible. I know this is a horrible bias but still if you can't spend the time to make a good website who says they didn't cut corners on security?


A local Credit Union had CAPTCHA's like, "4n1m4l" and (believe it or not) "b4nK3r". When I complained they snidely remarked that they were pretty sure they knew how to handle security.

That may be, but they no longer have my money.

Though, for what its worth, the biggest reason I left them is because they wanted to charge me a fee to deposit cash that my kids had saved up. "Because that's what Loomis Fargo charges us." So? Cost of doing business.

The irony that they were CHARGING ME TO GIVE THEM MONEY was completely lost on that particular teller.


How is this impressive?


You guys should really understand the policy before ripping on it. There are tons of other ways to have your name verified. https://www.facebook.com/help/159096464162185


I think you misunderstand. The only way for me to verify my authentic name as a transgender individual if I understand the page correctly is for me to go and take out a magazine subscription (to match with my mail and another non-matching photo ID). The other identification options are all required to match my legal name.


If the sales rep was arguing for you not to use auto pay he is the worst sales rep of all time.


What an amazing story. Thanks for checking out our site and sharing that.

Pretty crazy to imagine the incentives Comcast must put in place to get sales reps to act like that.


Or punishments for failure


The incentive is that you get to keep your job.
