“It was careless, blatantly amateuristic, and lacking any ambition, to put it gently. Microsoft unworthy.” Seems to be perfectly on brand for Microsoft, I don’t see the issue.

Competition is always good. It's sad that there's been so little alternatives in the past. I'm glad that this is now slowly changing. What we should work towards, though, is interoperability and open source solutions.

That's still a thing. Happens to me as we speak.

Maybe some college of theirs on HN recognized the story and shared it with them.

You worked at an industry giant like Airbus? Cool.

Welcome to the real world. I’m not saying this is a good thing, but this is what’s happened. That’s why everyone is doing AWS. To pretend this is a non-issue and can easily be fixed by investing a bit in development does not reflect realit

Yes. At an airbus scale, most definitely. But to give you another example (from the article): Try migrating Google Workspace to an EU solution. Actually impossible. I tried it myself, and gave up. The closest you’ll get is Proton, which isn

None of these remotely come close to their US counterparts. Not by a long shot.

“cannot contact port 25 on <remote host>” may very well be a configuration error. How should the program know?

There are a lot of European “cloud” providers, but there’s not one that offers anything even close to AWS/GCP/Cloudflare. If you need more than compute and S3, you’re pretty much SOL.

You know what? Adding another example from a "non oppressive dictatorship" country: Germany. Every few years, Germany tries to push for [Vorratsdatenspeicherung]( https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorratsdatenspeic

I really don't understand what you're not getting here. I'm not trying to be condescending, but I explained it as simple as possible. But let's break it down again: 1) You currently reside in Iran for whatever reason. 2)

China was just an example. Try to extrapolate on your own. Take someone from Russia, Iran, wherever, trying to access information they aren't allowed to access, or sharing information they aren't allowed to share. They think they&

Yes. Let’s take an extreme example: you think you exit in Japan, but you’re actually exiting in China. This means your traffic will be analyzed and censored by China. The routers don’t care about where the provider says the IP comes from. I

I’m sure that decision will look real smart in 3 years time.

Okay then, tell me a way to prevent this.

by AndroTux 11mo ago
Okay then, explain to me why this is only possible with NPM? Does it have a hidden "pwn" button that I don't know about?

Add to that, once an attacker has your server's IP (because it wasn't behind a CDN in the first place), it's basically impossible to fend off the attack unless the attacker is not very bright, or you swap your server's I

Nadella is obviously a very smart and successful business leader. He achieved his goals and transformed Microsoft into a very successful, healthy company. This is why I personally think he isn’t just a bland idiot like for example Steve Bal

Managing a complex environment is hard, no matter whether that’s deployed on AWS or on prem. You always need skilled workers. On one platform you need k8s experts. On the other platform you need AWS experts. Let’s not pretend like AWS is a

You're not going to use the DGX as your main machine, so you'll need another computer. Sure, not a $4000 one, but you'll want at least some performance, so it'll be another $1000-$2000.
