They've probably been declared [dead] because your new account has nothing except promotion of the same thing.

The product which is easiest to reach - for an adult on cereal shelves and a child in the toy section - pays a premium to be there. The smaller unknown brands are pushed to the bottom and on top where you have to stretch.
It's no different to a large Kellogg's cereal advert in your face as you walk in the shop.
We block high/critical by default and the rest are given a deadline to be resolved in agreement with security.
Clickbait headline. Nothing has changed officially.
Avoid the need to pay in the first place instead of taking evasive action for payments demanded ;-)

I think Germany is quite strict?
Buy a rubber duck for your desk. They're very good listeners and often quite inspiring :)
Good (but not exceptional) salary working with old/stable technologies that solve established business problems in a digital way.
Working in high-load-kafka-like companies with salaries usually reserved for upper management of "boring" workplaces are the 0.1%.
The company used stats including non-paying users to demonstrate demand for our service was high, even though we knew they would highly likely never spend a cent with us.
The findings concluded the product was insanely good value for money and was on par with mid/high end DAC.
Reducing the hours whilst retaining output is an efficiency improvement for the businesses.
The 200 companies is simply a list of those who have successfully achieved this efficiency target.
Those employed during the transition phase benefit from full salary yet work 80% hours.
New employees will get 100% for the four days they work while the company operates for five days.
Employee wages are usually the largest expense in any business.
In a very simplified example, accountants have to follow the same tax laws for their clients. Some firms cost _significantly_ more than others because they have an army of lawyers who find legal loopholes that can reduce the tax bill.
Karsa will likely use their YC cash to fund these lawyers in different countries when issues arise. They might decide to stop fighting and close business in that country.
Digital crate digging is one of my hobbies!
Please don't be so quick to assume all music is pirated by those with large audio collections.
In the UK we have a huge charity fundraising event called Red Nose Day and the public can donate online (or telephone if they want to speak to a volunteer).
The website probably sees 90% of their traffic on the day itself - millions of users - and the remaining 10% tailing off a few days later. Then nothing.
The elasticity of the cloud allows the charity to massively scale their compute power for ONE day, then reduce it for a few days, and drop back down to a skeleton infrastructure until the next event - in a few years time.
(FWIW I have no clue if Red Nose Day ever uses the cloud but it's a great example of a business case requiring temporary high capacity compute to minimise costs)
Bonus points: they can do it with spot pricing to further lower the bill.
The cloud offers immense flexibility and empowers _developers_ to easily manage their own infrastructure without depending on other teams.
Speed of development is the primary reason $DayJob is moving into the cloud, while maintaining bare-metal for platforms which rarely change.
Now I'm tech lead in numerous cloud projects, hold workshops to share my knowledge (reduce the bus factor), and even adopted some eager mentees along the way.
It's interesting to me and certainly fulfilling to be laying the foundations of such an epic journey at a multi-billion Euro company.
