I was a happy Netlify user for years until they silently took down my app without warning. They blocked my account based on a bogus DMCA claim, the details of which point to a DIFFERENT app with a similar name. Unacceptable behavior from a hosting provider. I'll never use them again.


This seems like human error. How did they handle it when you contacted them?


Oh, that's the best part. The support team sent me an incoherent message semi-explaining the ban and then blocked my email preventing me from responding to explain their mistake! Just stone-walled with no path for remediation. And just to be clear, I was not being rude/aggressive in my messages or anything like that.


Is that other app still up?


Nope, the other app they mistake for mine was taken down too. Maybe with just cause, I don't know. All I know is my app was unrelated and innocent.


Absolutely yes. A bunch of rich, entitled parents will inevitably complain about it but it's so worth it.


The rich, entitled parents send their kids to private schools which employ janitors.


Gotta learn "Looking Down on Those Beneath You" 101


Newt Gingrich proposed once that we make kids do this, but it was just gonna be for the poor kids.


Yes.


Do you mean kayak.com?


Scary. Not sure how democracy survives when adversaries can make people say anything they want them to.


A first glance, this may sound like a case of a bad US company meeting reasonable labor laws, but Euro laws of often unreasonably restrictive. Companies choose to leave entirely, as happened here. How many people lost their jobs so this one person could have their payout? This company definitely sucks, but still unfortunate for others caught in the crossfire.


I think we will be okay without this kind of company, given employment rate is one of the highest in the world and a main problem at the moment is labor shortages... But thanks for your "concern"


Ditto for stopwatch. Whyyyyyyy?


Nothing new under the sun. This is just the latest in the pendulum swinging back to the same server-side strategy that Php/Django do. There's a reason we moved away that! Client-side apps are an elegant architecture that takes advantage of computing power on edge devices.


There's always room to learn more and make it better. They didn't make Fresh just from a whim


The title is misleading. Bitcoin isn't reliant on Stablecoins. DeFi, is but DeFi !== Bitcoin...


While tether gets piped around ethereum between centralized exchanges, few on chain defi applications actually use tether outside of a few stable coin focused swapping apps. Most of the lending and borrowing apps prefer USDC or Dai.


DeFi now has a plethora of 'stablecoins' thanks to innovation of algo-stables.


stablecoins enable the ability to exit bitcoin at any time without having to take risk on another equally volatile coin.


Greatly reduce the likelihood of supply-chain attacks.
