> Why not transfer ownership to someone else?

> Frankly, I don't want to put the work into vetting a new maintainer or transferring ownership to an organization. Stuff like this scares me.

he addressed why he chose not to transfer ownership.


Non-citizens aren't members of the nation, so the US are okay if we base morality on that random quote.


That's not a satisfactory excuse or interpretation of the quote.

Let's say North Korea selected a few of the leading family and declared they are "members", under such circumstances would that quote imply that North Korea is the greatest nation, because all its "members" have near King-like status?

Or likewise, can a nation increase its greatness by declaring the weakest among them to be "non-members".


A non-citizen of decdes' residency, with family, business, social, community, and cultural interactions is not a member of the country[1]?

Bigger tubes is 99.9% of CloudFlare, that's why you can't build a competing business.


You can you build competing Cloudflare business if you are a tier one ISP. Other AntiDDos services exist like for example Akamai and Arbor networks.

Unless they are armed, you can simply shoot at the air and they'll scram.


This "solution" ignores the fallout of said actions. The British lost their highly profitable Indian colony because the citizens at home could not stomach the killings of hundreds of Indians. The average American would not be OK with seeing videos of millions of refugees being mowed down at the border.

And that's ultimately what it would take. When you're dying of dehydration or starving to death, you aren't going to care too much about people shooting into the air.

When the alternative is living next to them, that perception might change. Time will tell.


Most Americans are plenty willing to live next to immigrants. That's not a problem at all. Mmmmmm, tasty food.


Up until you run out of bullets.


No it doesn't. For example to tap a link you have to tap it directly, links don't have a halo around them to make them easier to tap. Tapping things like the [-] buttons here in HN is very hard. It's stupid shit like that that makes it unusable for me. I don't believe for a second the developers of Firefox for Android use it every day and haven't fixed that. And if they don't dogfood what hope is there for that software?


> I don't believe for a second the developers of Firefox for Android use it every day and haven't fixed that.

Why is that so unbelievable? I use Firefox every day and haven't even considered that this might be a problem. I don't have difficulty hitting the [-] on HN, but if I did, I would simply zoom in until it becomes large enough.


Same, used Firefox on Android (currently on a 5.5" phone (Nokia 6.1)) for over a year without a single issue.

Chrome still had a slightly better UI the last time I tried it but the gap wasn't remotely wide enough to give up ublock origin.

Adverts are even more annoying on phones than they are on desktop so been able to run ublock origin directly on device is a major win.


I’m amazed at the tiny inconveniences that lead people to something is totally broken and completely unusable.
