this article is literally just an LLM regurgitation of Stoller / Musharbash's reporting and research on the topic.

this is a peak HN comment in terms of cluelessness about the realities of how the world works if you're an ordinary person.

i think they would probably shill for something more achievable than a shirt you can sometimes get once a year at costco, haha

The Register has always been a... weird 'news' source, but they've gotten significantly worse over the last year or two.

It's actually mandated by the FAA that an ashtray be present in the restrooms:

> (g) Regardless of whether smoking is allowed in any other part of the airplane, lavatories must have self-contained, removable ashtrays located conspicuously on or near the entry side of each lavatory door, except that one ashtray may serve more than one lavatory door if the ashtray can be seen readily from the cabin side of each lavatory served.

And the plane literally cannot fly with an inoperable or missing ashtray.

Will they? Have you gone through that process with them? In my experience (admittedly somewhat stale) it was fairly hard to get through to them, much less to get the information required to actually report bad actors to their real hosting provider that Cloudflare is fronting.

Yes, Cloudflare has always been really shitty and automated at responding to abuse reports, and because they are the front-end connection, it is impossible to pursue the report against the 'real' host unless Cloudflare is willing to provide you with information about where that host is: which they won't typically do, even if you are a fellow infrastructure provider. It's been several years, so maybe they have gotten better, but I would be surprised.

This is a great soundbite, but it's also completely vacuous. Wanting the government to take action against a clear societal issue is not wanting the government to be God.

You keep making comments making it sound like you have a better view of the world than the people you're responding to, but just making personal attacks. The person you're responding to, for that specific point, is referring to: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/01/us/politics/troops-iran-h...

you say this as if massive corporations with extremely well-compensated executives don't regularly employ Deloitite and other worthless consultancies to do all sorts of work ineptly?

hahaha, the conspiracy i always joke about is when the first time a starlink satellite deorbiting is going to kill someone 'accidentally'.

Sebguer — Wed, 11 Mar 2026 04:12:40 +0000

yeah, GP completely fails to realize that Cloudflare has always played both sides. that is their entire business model, and it was transparent from the beginning that they would absolutely do the same here.

if you truly can't clock that this is AI written, you probably need to desperately develop this skill as soon as possible, because everything outside of the first sentence is so very, very clearly slop.
