No, letting your contract run out before you have properly migrated is not a reasonable strategy, it's mind-boggingly stupid and pathetic.

God damn. In Austria I'm paying 35€ for 250/250, and am still looking over to the Romanians with longing eyes. Data caps are only on mobile - which is still questionable in my eyes.

The server can see your IP when you connect to it and IPs are not sensitive either way. That's not a privacy issue.

Depends on where you live :p It just got to 32°C here and I'm dying. I love my 15°C.

There is literally no reason to do it like that other than incompetence. Platform migrations, especially for something as large as Twitter, are incredibly large undertakings that need a lot of skilled people. All those skilled people have long continued their careers at other companies.

You don't need to know how Twitter is run, that is simply IT and business management 102.

Oh that kinda seems like a bad sign regarding proper data validation. Hopefully it's just a small bug and not part of a larger issue.

Lol, I'm regularly working with companies such as Twitter as a consultant :)
