A new pricing model for our Developer Support plan has been launched, reducing the entry cost from $49 per month to $29 per month, while providing the same level of customer service and support. As of July 26th, 2016 all new AWS accounts subscribing to Developer Support will receive the new pricing, set at the greater of $29 or 3% of monthly AWS spend.
大概是因為很多 production 用戶都只申請這個吧 (只是為了開 ticket 而已),不過這邊只提到「all new AWS accounts subscribing to Developer Support」,沒提到舊的用戶會怎麼處理...
While any customer can use PayPal to fund their account, new customers will still need to sign up using a credit card. You can use PayPal from then on.
而原因是:
This is in part because we don’t yet have the ability to automatically transfer funds from PayPal. If you intend on paying only via PayPal, you will need to ensure that you have enough credit on your Linode account to cover your next invoice. Otherwise, our system will attempt to collect any remaining balance from the credit card you have on file.
The time complexity of the algorithm is determined by the number of iterations of the while loop. [...] So the expected number of iterations is less than ln(n) + 1.
Google has not applied for patent protection for this algorithm, and, as of this writing, has no plans to. Rather, it wishes to contribute this algorithm to the community.
Our first line of defense is a machine-learning-based anti-abuse startup called Sift Science, which we’ve been training for years across 55,000,000 transactions. Given how many orders we process, Sift Science has a really good idea when someone is up to no good. The model adapts daily as we get more data.
Piwik only works on Mysql, where all the development and testing is done. Supporting multiple databases is a long term objective for Piwik, but not our current focus.
Each click on one of the images in the puzzle generates a total of about 50 packets between Tor user's computer and the Cloudflare's server (about half are requests and half are real-time responses from the server.) All this happens in less than a second, so eventual jitter introduced in onion mixing is immaterial. The packet group has predictable sizes and patterns, so all the adversary has to do is note the easily detectable signature of the "image click" event, and correlate it with the same on the Cloudflare side. Again, no decryption required.
