It looks like next generation private equity, and my guess is more houses will start copying them.

Even if cloud providers use local datacenters they are still in "violation". If the US makes a data request using CLOUD act, they will have to comply, no matter where these servers are sitting.

Ironically, the UE intelligence services are happy to take the anti-terrorist information that the US is extracting with the CLOUD act and sharing with them.

My guess is that this issue was already there with previous generations of the search engine, as we already tried to serve what’s most useful to most users. On this work we have not tried to get personalized results, except on a country level. On future work we want to give customized results to each user, and I’m very interested in understanding if there is some signals that we can pick up to give you a better experience.

It takes time to build a billion dollar company, it’s unfair to compare his current ongoing initiatives to Twitch.

Very stable, fast, and easy to connect to mysql.

If GDPR makes all the cloud services provided by American companies illegal, what alternatives European companies have? Services like OVH and Hetzner are great as a low cost but they don't provide the same services at all.

How about Netsuite (Oracle), Netsuite, etc.?

My guess is that ~100% of European companies use some kind of US service and there are no realistic alternatives, are they going to rule all companies are doing something illegal?

It’s an oversight that we don’t allow explicitly in the terms of use of the Freepik subscription to use content downloaded from StorySet without attribution. Let me try to fix that tomorrow.

Sorry the system is not straightforward, StorySet is a side project and we didn’t think of monetizing it.

Super glad you like it!

This was 2006 and nginx was the only realistic alternative on the market. It worked beautifully since day 1. It saved my startup. Next year we got acquired by Google.

I only got 1 crash with nginx and it was partially my fault, I had an "expires 30y" on some images, and a morning on feb 2008 I came to the office and the whole site was down. After a very quick gdb session under panic I realized it was trying to get a weekday name on an array with a negative index. Nginx was adding 30 years to the current date and that was over 2038 and it overflowed. Igor fixed that issue in hours, and he graciously explained that I could have used "expires max"

Nginx has powered all my startups since then (Freepik, Flaticon, Slidesgo, Besoccer).

This guy has added more real value to the economy than most unicorns. A true hero.

They are just gaming the metrics changing what the LCP measures with no added value to the users.

You also have to check if your customer is any other of the countries / states that collect VAT (India, Indonesia, many US states and oh so many random countries) and make a proper declaration in each country. It's almost impossible to do it right if you don't go with a partner to handle it all.

There is a download limit on the icons you can download per day, with an exception to the limit if you're downloading a full pack. A platform that creates its own icons has different trade-offs than a platform that collect icons available for free, and that's another one of these trade-offs. We could remove the limit on CC icons, though.

I'm sorry that you have a sub-par experience with Flaticon, and glad that you extract some value from it.

The fact that our database is "so big" is because we paid artists to create these icons, and at the end of the day this money has to come from our customers, but I take note of your comments as we clearly have room to improve.

Thank you!

We deleted everything we got from them. We got a second letter when we reached independently to some authors with CC icons, got their explicit approval and got their icons from their site. The same icons were also available on the noun, and I guess they thought we had downloaded them there. This time we answered back and never heard from them again.

They seemed pretty protective to me, and I would not recommend touching their site if you want to get a CC collection of icons without troubles.

Btw, Iconduck looks dope :) congrats!
