July 2009 - A team of entrepreneurs creates a content delivery network (CDN) to make the Internet faster and more reliable. And called it Cloudflare.

They faced various challenges in the early stages of development.

Yet their growth rate was spectacular.

Now they serve 20% of Internet traffic at 55 million HTTP requests per second.

And they did it with only 15 PostgreSQL clusters.

Me too. It started with the railroad robber barons.

And sharing them.

Yep. The idea of first black president, I think, contributed a lot.

What's that thing people are always accusing me of doing? Convincing people I don't exist?

The bad guys are chomping up everything. Always recruiting, too. Draining the world and you of life, even the ability or energy to fight back.

Choose good? Choose Life?

Take control of your species and world from the ones who would enslave and kill you. Yes. You're being used like livestock and draft animals, and rewarded with pellets.

Maybe line up on a side that's against that.

Get uppity.

#devilstorytime There's always doomsday prophets. They rise and fall in numbers during the passage of time, but there's always some of those. More often wrong than right.

But I truly do believe we are about to face a war between Good and Evil, Life and Anti-Life.

In ourselves, between ourselves, and also out there.

While the evil side, which does not scruple itself with facts or knowledge arrays merrily along to snuff us, most people go "Oh, that stuff's not real."
