Same applies for grey, and many other colours and things. For Indonesian culture, grey is the colour of an overcast/hazy/dusty/ash/pale day, as such, it includes any desaturated colour, especially (most commonly) light blues; so for them two blue banknotes, one saturated and one desaturated are clearly different colours and they are perplexed as to why westerners mix them up. More research of this <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_Color_Terms>. From my research, a lot of this comes from whether a culture's consideration of a colour is from natural phenomena, or from colour theory (mixing the primary colours to generate the secondary colours, developing color wheels, acquiring distinctions for hue, saturation, lightness, etc). Take "orange" in English, or "cokelat" (the colour brown, and chocolate) and "oranye" (to describe the colour of a ripe orange/"jeruk manis") in Indonesia. Sometimes with cross-cultural intermixing, an object could be named after a colour in one culture, then that object is injected into another culture, and that culture then names the colour after that object. Such cultural introductions also extends to mythology and affect, lighter shades could be considered young or easy (as is "muda" in Indonesian), white could be considered for pure or wealthy or sickly or light, dark for ground/earth or peasant or tanned/healthy, red for blood/danger or passion or love; blue-green for nausea or life/vitality/fertility; same also applies for gender and pronouns; man as in mankind, or man as in male, and their inter-cultural/educational corruption/degradations/influences/experiential-biases/subjectivity.

I looked up the banknotes since I was curious https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indonesian_rupiah#/media/File:...

Is it the Rp2000 and Rp50000 that get mixed up? They seem obvious in that picture but it might be harder to tell them apart in low light.


In terms of pass me the blue note, yep. I consider the 2000 and 50000 in your photo as blue.

The added complexity is their currency is like paper, so it wears, fades, tears, and marks. Furthermore, there are so many zeroes. Their sizes are all identical or similar. Different generations of the notes are in use, some better than others. Indonesians also use "," as the decimal indicator, and "." as the thousands separator; in practice, both are intermixed with no sense or reason, sometimes even in the same paragraph, even on banking websites <https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Talk:Indonesian/Lessons/Number...>, often due to misconfigured locale settings on computers (expect to see red spellcheck underlines on everything on Indonesian office computers).

There are digestive enzymes on the market that solve digestive gas for beans, legumes, lentils, peanuts, broccoli, etc. You take one or a few at your first bite, and problem solved. Bean-zyme is the most popular in the US apparently. Vegan and international options are NOW's Optimal Digestive System, Bulk, California Gold's Digestive Enzymes, and Bulk's Digezymes. Your mileage may vary.

This is exhaustively covered in the article

No mention in the announcement that it is restricted to the paid plans. Also no mentioned of it in the paid plan comparison.

We had such a neighbour also with an extremely loud TV on nearly all the time. We eventually deduced that he was deaf. We bought him headphones for the TV with a letter explaining the issue. Problem solved.


If all you use them for is caching, then they could provide webhooks for their scheduled maintenance so customers can disable cloudflare during the maintenance and reenable it once it's all good.

However, for customers using other things, perhaps we need an independent cloudflare for cloudflare service that serves its own cache of your site when cloudflare is inaccessible.

Could combine the two ideas so when there is scheduled cloudflare maintenance, it switches dns to the cloudflare for cloudflare service that uses cloudflare if online but if cloudflare is offline then serves cache, and once cloudflare maintenance is finished then restore cloudflare dns.

Plex, Plexamp, and accounts in Sonos went down.


How did this get funded? What's the game plan here?


I've gone ahead and updated the following wiki pages to get the right eyeballs on this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_factorization https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA_(cryptosystem) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claus_P._Schnorr

Also cross-shared with Cloudflare's forum, as I believe they would be interested: https://community.cloudflare.com/t/this-destroys-the-rsa-cry...


....and someone rolled back your edits. because it's not peer reviewed.
