I’ve done that race, it’s awesome. Wading across the river when your legs are shot from the run is especially exciting...

Just a note that the article does say that once the WSJ brought this to Google's attention the ad results changed dramatically. So checking now is probably not representative of the state of things when SEMrush did the initial research.

Thanks!

Strange, we are using CNAME apex resolution with cloudflare to point to Heroku apps, so I'm not aware that Dyn is used anywhere in that chain, but resolution is still down for those apps.

edit: resolved now.

Same here. I have a business debit card (bad idea, I know) that I wasn't actually able to complete a purchase with due to Woo being a UK company. That didn't stop the card number theft, though, I had over $3k of fraudulent charges before the bank shut the card down. Spent all morning filling out dispute forms. Good news is I shouldn't be liable for any of it. Charges were from all over the US.

Bad news for Woo, issues like this cost a LOT of money to resolve. They better own up to it soon, this will be a major blow to their reputation if they don't.

We haven't seen a major nation-state conflict between nuclear powers since nuclear weapons were invented. Of course there's no counterfactual, but it does seem given the state of relations with Russia it's likely that sans nuclear weapons we would have had a major conflict with them at some point. Also, try reading this, it's a decent summary of nuclear strategic thinking: http://www.amazon.com/The-Bomb-A-New-History/dp/0061537209

Seems he put his mental health on the line... As someone else here so nicely pointed out, being a drone op isn't an "it's him or me" situation, you're clearly aware that it's just the other guy that's at risk. So if you do have a conscience, this could be a lot harder to deal with than popping a guy who's shooting at you with an AK, at least in a sense in that case you were defending yourself. This guy seems painfully aware of the fact that he bore no risk and he feels guilty for that. It's not shell-shock, but it's the moral equivalent.

And pretty much all of the people who vehemently condemn anyone who has ever been in combat (and in a sense being a drone operator qualifies, it carries many of the same moral issues) equally have no experience with combat either. Why does't that make their viewpoint equally invalid? They have no more experience with it than the armchair GI Joe's... As you say, most who have experienced combat directly (my wife's uncle is an ex-Delta Force operator, no joke) don't talk about it.

But in those cases you don't know if you actually killed someone or not, you're just launching a shell off into the void. In this case the person pulls the trigger and then watches the carnage live and in IR/thermal. The action of pulling the trigger and the aftermath are inextricably interconnected. As perhaps they should be, but it's certainly not the same as being a gunner in an artillery battery.
