By combining ai with space, in addition to any other plays that he might be playing around legal or financial areas, he's positioning (marketing) spaceX for the bandwagon that everyone else might jump into to deploy a space datacentre. He's providing the medium (spacex rockets) to realise this potentially unfeasible idea. He makes additional money that way - to then create a new type of money-making fuel after that. HN audience might be calculative - but the rest of the population is far less so.
This might also be a new vehicle to mask any space warfare technology deployments.
> Why would anyone pick the flexible/potentially-insecure option?
Because having a connection that's encrypted between a user and Cloudflare, then unencrypted between Cloudflare and your server is often better than unencrypted all the way. Sketchy ISPs could insert/replace ads, and anyone hosting a free wifi hotspot could learn things your users wouldn't want them to know (e.g. their address if they order a delivery).
Setting up TLS properly on your server is harder than using Cloudflare (disclaimer: I have not used Cloudflare, though I have sorted out a certificate for an https server).
The problem is that users can't tell if their connection is encrypted all the way to your server. Visiting an https url might lead someone to assume that no-one can eavesdrop on their connection by tapping a cross-ocean cable (TLS can deliver this property). Cloudflare breaks that assumption.
Cloudflare's marketing on this is deceptive: https://www.cloudflare.com/application-services/products/ssl... says "TLS ensures data passing between users and servers is encrypted". This is true, but the servers it's talking about are Cloudflare's, not the website owner's.
Going through to "compare plans", the description of "Universal SSL Certificate" says "If you do not currently use SSL, Cloudflare can provide you with SSL capabilities — no configuration required." This could mislead users and server operators into thinking that they are more secure than they actually are. You cannot get the full benefits of TLS without a private key on your web server.
Despite this, I would guess that Cloudflare's "encryption remover" improves security compared to a world where Cloudflare did not offer this. I might feel differently about this if I knew more about people who interact with traffic between Cloudflare's servers and the servers of Cloudflare's customers.
Let's encrypt and ACME hasn't always been available. Lots of companies also use appliances for the reverse proxy/Ingress.
If they don't support ACME, it's actually quite the chore to do - at least it was the last time I had to before acme was a thing (which is admittedly over 10 yrs ago)
Curious why some of these posts are downgraded? Is that to be considered a rating of the company? Dislike for the advert because it misses some details expected? Etc
Would be good if the downgraders left a comment explaining.

Sometimes it’s because of a company’s bad reputation, other times simply because they never follow up. I’ve noticed a lot of the same posts showing up month after month, with people complaining that companies don’t respond. That makes it look like some companies are just collecting information.
As for the downvoted posts, if you check the profile, you’ll often see the same one being reposted every month, sometimes going back two years.
First time coming across this project and it's amazing!!
Disclaimer: not used it, but certainly going to try it.
Technology is too fragmented - day to day many of us depend on a ton of tools to go by our (work)days even for simple stuff. Log into console of X, Y & Z platform or tools (say X = Jira, Y = AWS, Z = repo) to introduce a new change/feature/bugfix whatever. Then switch to IDE of choice to eval code, then browser to read the docs, then Google/Claude to ask questions, and then be interrupted by a meeting, take notes, ... and on and on
I see an opportunity here using something like this to unify your entire workflows/data-from-tools/tools into a uniform system you can query to get answers without having to jump through hoops (and give up). It appears investing time in building a repertoire of tools with something of this sort helps one automate or quicken chores (at work or at home even?)
What else could you do with this apart from what's in the demos? Some "can it do this?" questions if anyone who has used this could helpfully answer are:
* organise meeting notes across various topics and auto-compile a searchable "decision log" that you can drill in to dive into the context at a future date?
* connect requirements (specified in excel) to JIRA tickets and Code? so you can jump back and forth in a single GUI
* Log hours you have worked on something
* create up to date management process reference / checklist along with escalation contacts, response templates, ability to engage others on roster, and later bring together all the information into a automated PIR timeline and other details
* display system metrics of deployed services in AWS based on complex rules and provide local alert
* maintain a schedule of your kid's swimming lessons
* Notion like "verification expired" notifications

That intuition is quite right! If you look inside the environment, you will see multiple case studies. These are not things you do with the environment. These are things we've used the environment for. They are examples of what you can build. And if you look closer you will see different classes of problems. These are classes of problems for which the industry offers significant vertical solutions. Yet we show them addressed with much less energy, uniformly and much more contextualized. The idea is that if this is possible, it means it's also possible to produce tools for arbitrary combinations of problems.
If you intend to explore it further, please do let us know how it goes.
I know I won't be able to dig it up, but certain that I read this research paper where they concluded in words to the effect that jobs which require a bit of passion are the most underpaid/overworked - e.g. teachers, nurses, musicians, sports-people.
Love it.
I generally avoided excel when my previous role was a dev.
Now, leading a team - I find it more useful as it's a little universe to add various computations (counts, min, max) of various sorts of data that I want to keep track across projects & create charts etc, create rapid UIs (project timelines etc) and easily change them when required, invite collaborators, use that to replace slides to drive meeting discussions
It's quite versatile.
I had never considered this angle of using it to manage and sync with something external like Kubernetes here and love it.
I wish someone also solved the issue with excel around refactoring though - esp when cells are being used in formulas, if there was a "Find All References" or Cmd+SHIFT+F (global find) of elements used in formula (not their values) - it would step it up even more towards maintainability.
(I understand it buckles under huge datasets, but I believe that's really over-use of the tool)

I usually handle this in MS Excel by searching "in workbook" and "in formulas".
Works even better when the elements are in a named cell which is referenced in formulas (i.e. "stat.infra.APIrequests" instead of "$A$5"), this way you can also globally change the element by reassigning the cell-name to another cell
I've completed a vocational course in Australia recently on woodworking - enough to land you an intern position at an actual shop.
Here's a few comparisons off the top (WW=WoodWorking, Soft=Software Dev/Engr):
* WW: must plan well. If you're working on a provided plank of wood, you can't "uncut" if you cut something shorter than should for example, Soft: iterative - and figure things out after some or none initial planning, and easily fix things later
* WW: higher risk of fatality/injury, Soft: relatively very low risk. Low liability for artifacts produced - but could serious affect users (e.g. cybersec).
Not knonwing Musk before, i was only exposed to the perception of him created by media. It seems like he has turned from someone reasonable to an idiot who is up his own arse now - with off-the-charts god-complex
