Continental US (United States) refers to the 48 United States excluding Alaska and Hawaii.


(Southern) Ontario is geographically located within said 48 States, so whatever geographic need they have may still be fulfilled by someone within certain parts of Canada. It does not seem to be a legal need, else why exclude other US states?


> It does not seem to be a legal need

It almost certainly is a legal need. I don't know why you're dismissing this so quickly. Their product is the #1 access management platform for citizens to log into US government websites, I think that a lot of their employees will need basic security clearances from the US government because of their proximity to personal data.


It wasn't dismissed, it was met with a question. A question you bizarrely didn't answer. What's the point of replying to a question that you don't have an answer to?


It's due to time zones, and Ontario is most definitely not within the Continental United States, geographically or otherwise.


> It's due to time zones

And Canada mostly shares the same timezones and works hard to keep them in sync (e.g. daylight savings time) with US timezones exactly to allow these kinds of business dealings to happen comfortably. There are exceptions, but few Canadians live there. It is unlikely that the one asking is among the exceptional.

> Ontario is most definitely not within the Continental United States, geographically or otherwise.

Better look at a map again... Position yourself in the north end of Windsor. Pick a direction, any direction. Start travelling in that direction. No matter which direction you choose, you will end up in the continental US. The geography of the United States has it surrounded.


I know you understand that the continental United States ends at the borders of the United States, so why are you pretending otherwise?


What am I pretending? If the continental United States did not end at the border of the continental United States, this discussion wouldn't work. The latter half of the question does not logically follow the first, so it is not clear what the pretending is in reference to.

Perhaps you are questioning why I am pretending to be engaged with your trolling? Mostly because I enjoy your sense of humour. Some of the stuff you come up with is downright hilarious. Well done!


Can you name any of the 48 states that you claim some part of Ontario lies within?

No?

That's because it doesn't. No part of Canada is within the United States.


Sure. The combination of Michigan, Ohio, New York, and Pennsylvania completely wrap around some parts of Ontario.

Situate yourself in one of those parts. Pick a direction, any direction. Start travelling in that direction. As you are geographically located inside that combination of states, you will eventually end up crossing into one of the aforementioned states. There is no heading you can choose that would avoid it.

Have you never looked at a map before?


What's TAO?


I am not sure but maybe referring to this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tailored_Access_Operations


Might be referring to “Tailored Access Operations” which was an NSA office


This is not Kemal Kilicdaroglu who is the main challenger to Erdoğan, and in fact could help his chances.

notice the article claims the opposite

> The polling organisation Metropoll predicted late last month that İnce voters would predominantly give their votes to Erdoğan’s AKP, the CHP, with some also going to the far-right Nationalist Movement party and the nationalist IYI (Good party) in the parliamentary race.

polls are all over the place for this election, other than telling that it will be contested.

I had to read that sentence thrice but I don't think it's in conflict with op.

The Guardian is suggesting Ince's votes will be split between the main contenders. Then KK who is in the lead will have a higher chance of clearing 50%.


That may be poorly phrased way of saying, "people will vote for someone else". Erdogan (AKP) polls around 46%. K10u (CHP) polls around 50%. Ince was (2018) previously the CHP candidate in 2018.

I don't know anything about Turkey but unless Ogan's platform was "Erdogan isn't doing enough dictating", it's hard to picture his voters all going to AKP.


> the CHP

This is Kilicdaroglu's party. Also remember that there can be a runoff election, either candidate only needs to clear 50%


Al Jazeera says the opposite, his voters are closer to Erdoğan.



You're right I actually misunderstood the news piece from Al Jazeera.


Watching on the Apple TV+ app on an Android TV it frequently replays the same episode I already watched or starts at some random time earlier in the episode than when I left off which is a pain to fix using their scrubbing feature which is itself a bad experience.


Same for Xbox & Windows -- the app is barely serviceable, and I figure that's by design from Apple.


Thank you this is actually something that appears to solve one of my main issues. I did not see this before, and it's not linked to from their dashboard UI or the ethereum gateway docs [1]. It appears that I could make the DNS record go through another cloudflare product Cloudflare Zero Trust[2] which can do the access management.

While this is good to know, I still would much like visibility into public usage and user set billing limit caps. A large portion of use cases for an ethereum gateway is going to be frontend client side calls, and yes I know I could make another proxy layer on my own servers and set limits there, which if I could do things over I would have.

It’s pretty terrible that they even allow public access to these gateways, let alone default to it. At a very bare minimum some sort of origin header checks should be done. Who in their right mind would want to pay an exorbitant rate to put a frontend-specific JSON-RPC API out on the public internet to be abused for free by other sites?


Actually I had a similar experience with trying to create a business account, only the account who created it can set up billing. There is no concept of a team account or billing managers which surprised me.


I didn't set up an IPFS gateway I set up an Ethereum Gateway where the rest of your comment doesn't apply.


It's a cloudflare problem related to their lack of visibility and billing practices for paid products. I don't want to get into a crypto is bad debate as that's entirely unrelated to the point of my post.


I looked around and couldn't find any examples or demo of the SVGs on the website. This is the epitome of a project that would benefit from a visual representation.

To ameliorate this problem, I've moved the "Viewer" link to immediately underneath the "Home" on the left side menu on the latest version of the website.


Would be nice to have a dedicated "ports" view as this is what I most commonly use lsof for.
