临溪流以静对，访草木以素心。登高极目知天地之大，置己苍茫知寸身之微。
当欲望得不到满足便痛苦，当欲望得到满足便无聊，人生就像钟摆一样在痛苦与无聊之间摆荡。– 叔本华
杜甫 《登高》
风急天高猿啸哀，渚清沙白鸟飞回。
无边落木萧萧下，不尽长江滚滚来。
万里悲秋常作客，百年多病独登台。
艰难苦恨繁霜鬓，潦倒新停浊酒杯。

2009: That idea, which would later develop into Cloudflare, was the concept of “utilizing the spammer information collected by Project Honey Pot to build a service that not only ‘monitors’ threats but also ‘blocks’ threats on the internet.”
The system built under his command was extremely scalable, serving as the cornerstone that allows Cloudflare to process over 10% of all internet requests and block billions of cyber threats every day.
Cloudflare runs a single, unified network of countless small points of presence (PoPs) distributed across 300+ cities in 112 countries. This architecture eliminates single points of failure and bottlenecks, delivering services from the location closest to the user.
Cloudflare IPO on Sept 13 2019 with NYSE, $15 per share. A firewell in the cloud. fast CDN plus security.
