Spotify is bringing strict limits to its service

It only costs £4.99 a month for the Unlimited subscription and this comes with the added bonus of no adverts. The kind of people who say 'So long Spotify. It was nice knowing you' are the kind of people who don't want to pay for music. That's their choice of course, but what did they expect? Spotify's price is pretty low and their product is pretty good. The 'free' side of their business doesn't seem sustainable in the long term and I'd rather they focussed on maintaining a sustainable service. And, you know, if you really don't want to pay for music you still don't have to but your free lunch just got smaller. Bummer.

The key word here is limit. It doesn't mean 'always go at 60mph'. It means 'use your judgement, but don't exceed 60mph'.

There are probably a few times when you could get to 180mph and not be dangerous, but there are probably more times when you think you can get to 180mph and not be dangerous and be wrong. Plenty of people crash doing stuff that they think is safe but misjudged. I image that relative few people crash while doing something they think is dangerous.

Of course speeding isn't the only cause of crashes, but it does make crashes worse. It also makes them more likely. If you are at 180mph in a clear lane on the M25 you stand much less chance of avoiding the idiot who pulls out in front of you than you do if you're travelling at 70mph.

Speed limits aren't always perfect, but they're not arbitrary either. The more you deviate from them the more you put yourself and others at risk.

Yeah no friends of me...

hah! In your face google

You need to work on your counting skills.

Redirect on GET is doing it too late. By that time you've already sent a load of traffic to one location, potentially one that takes a long time to get to.

It's not much of an issue for a low volume website with users in the same country but it does matter when you get high volume sites with users around the world.

I think you're missing the point. Geographically aware DNS is used to send you to your nearest deployment of an application. Deciding after you've arrived is too late.
