I know this firsthand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and saboteurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

Meta won a legal victory on Wednesday against a former employee who published an explosive, tell-all memoir, as an arbitrator temporarily prohibited the author from promoting or further distributing copies. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/12/technology/meta-book-sales-blocked.html?smtyp=cur&smid=bsky-nytimes

He said he wanted Twitter to be getting more revenue from user subscription than from advertising, and he's on course to achieve that a lot sooner than predicted.

Once a long time ago, I advised a tiny startup that didn't (couldn't) pay a cloud service provider bill and was going to be shut off.

Luckily they had two cloud providers, so rapidly found a way to migrate to the one whose bill they did pay. They also did some drastic hacks to shed load (like disabled non-authenticated views of their content). They also considered rate limiting some of their best customers, but I told them that this was silly.

Anyway, thinking about that story for some reason.
