I interviewed with them (didn't get the job). If I understood it correctly, they pretty much use every cloud under the sun to get full coverage for their CDN.


One of the issues is that we, in the US, don't look at other successful cities or countries and consider implementing their solutions. Then in California, we don't look at other cities or states within the US who have solved similar problems. Tokyo has rational zoning rules that has lead to affordable housing in a growing metropolis. This blog post https://devonzuegel.com/post/north-american-vs-japanese-zoni... describes the differences in Japanese zoning versus North American zoning.


Your comment inspired me to take a look. I compared the SSL certificate and the whois information to equifax.com. The settlement site uses a different company for the certificate. The settlement site uses Starfield Technologies vs DigiCert for equifax.com. The settlement site uses GoDaddy for their DNS vs UltraDNS for equifax.com. It's not impossible that a division in the company or a different law firm uses different SSL certificate provider and DNS provider, but it may point to some caution.

Edit: As another commenter pointed out, this site is linked to from the FTC site about the breach.


You're assuming that this site is run by Equifax; it is not. It is run by a "Settlement Administrator", a third-party entrusted by the court to handle the money and record-keeping associated with a class-action settlement. This is to avoid possible manipulation of the settlement by the defendant.


Being linked to from the FTC isn't a safe bet. Bear in mind Equifax sent people to a fake Equifax website before: https://money.cnn.com/2017/09/20/technology/business/equifax...


Legally, the settlement administrator must be totally independent from Equifax, so comparing their hosting providers, cert providers, etc. you'd only expect them to match by random chance.


Why compare it to Equifax? I'd just assume it's an unrelated malicious opportunist. I'd rather compare it to JND to have evidence towards proving that it's legit. Anyway it is legit since it's mentioned on the FTC site.


I made a faulty assumption. As others have pointed out, the settlement site is run by a third party.


At this point I'd consider the government more competent than Equifax.


Yeah its totally legit, its just funny to think about. I expect it to happen someday.

This site is using godaddy presumably because the law firm also does, though they do use different certs!


I have a friend whose son was born with a partial hand. They were able to use 3D printing to make a prosthetic that was cheap enough they could make new ones as he grew. IIRC, they could do themes such as iron man for the prosthetic.


I love it! In some ways these printers are only begining to exit the novelty phase (I mean the consumer versions) and already there's a minor explosion in exiting uses for them. An exciting time!


Do they have photos, video or info to share? Would be really interesting to see it working, sounds awesome.


I found out because they shared on Facebook. I would normally not share it, but apparently his experience was shared on the news. https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/news/stories/3d_griffin.html
