stripe, cloudflare (ish), github



Cloudflare's verify human challenge screen is so intrusive and frustrating that it will cost them their credibility IMHO, if it hasn't already. Some part of me feels that a properly designed cache should be able to handle any level of abusive traffic like a p2p cache would, and if it can't, then what are we all doing?


The problem is a cache needs cooperation with the backend for invalidation: Cloudflare’s robot check can apply to every page right before it talks to the backend at all


I wouldn’t put GitHub in the list: lots of people are annoyed that they use F/OSS code to train copilot.


> that are both profitable

none of these are currently profitable
