Almost all of their customers are using the free, high-risk tier, because it's free.

Cloudflare wasn't asked to do anything. LaLiga went straight to the courts to demand all ISPs in the country to block Cloudflare.

This law on banks is a bad law. It doesn't stop money laundering, it does make it hard for lots of people to have bank accounts. We should abolish that law, not copy it.

Why are the IPs the relevant things? There are domains as well. And origin servers. Why not block the domain or the origin server, which wouldn't have collateral damage.

They reply to subpoenas just like everyone else. But that's too slow for the greedy fat cats at LaLiga.

You're the customer of your ISP who's the customer of another ISP who's the customer of another ISP who Hacker News is a customer of.

The Digital Markets Act speaks of "conduits" instead of speaking of the specific form the conduits may take. It does not give special rights to someone who forwards IP packets unmodified or to someone who receives IP packets and reissues other IP packets or to someone who changes the IP addresses in the packets. It only cares about the net effect of the transmission, and the fact is that Cloudflare is a conduit with caching.

Their supreme court allowed it. Their congress is now overturning it.

The court can order Cloudflare to block a website, but that isn't what the court did.

It's related because it does the same thing.

My ISP obfuscates my location by replacing it with an IP address . However, if the government wants to know my location, they can ask my ISP to find out a physical address based on an IP address. They can also ask Cloudflare to find out an origin IP address based on a domain name. This is normal. It's also slow. The Spanish government doesn't want to bother arresting pirates, it would rather be seen doing something about the problem, without doing something about the problem.

Nothing stops the government from ordering Cloudflare to reveal the origin IP addresses of websites and then tracking them down and arresting them. They just don't want to. Cloudflare complies with court orders but the government doesn't think that's good enough. The government wants Cloudflare to be the internet police.

Local privilege escalation in your browser is a danger. They can also abuse any privileges you gave to the website, such as camera and microphone.

Do they not have a charge of "tortious interference with business" in civil law like in common law? It's where one company just goes out of their way to fuck up your business for no good reason.

To convince me Linux is full of kernel LPE bugs, can you share some of the bugs?

Real problem is the CI can only run through the CI system. If the CI runs "make" the developer can run "make" at home and get feedback. If the CI is GitHub Actions you can only run it by committing and pushing to GitHub.

Every other country seems to manage it. Those countries also don't have school shootings.

People not being able to afford things is the point of raising taxes to curb inflation. When people can't afford things they don't buy things and that's what lowers inflation.

MMT is descriptive, not prescriptive - the economy follows MMT whether you agree it does or not. Separate from MMT, are the ways you would expect would be good ways to run an economy if you believe the economy follows MMT (which it does).
