I think you will probably find great difficulty. When I worked at AWS, there was GovCloud, and only American citizens residing in American soil and connecting from American soil were able to give support to these customers. So even if you w

Absolutely. And how the CCP essentially controls any company that becomes sufficiently large. Terrible working conditions and all sorts of workplace illnesses due to exposure to chemicals banned in most other countries. However, China not o

Indeed. I am also tired of Trump pretending trade imbalance is real when he is only counting goods and energy, but he does not count the massive influence of American Big Tech and how Europe basically has zero competition against cloud serv

To add to this, the thing that really worries me is not that Trump is doing this, but the fact every single US has had the capacity to do this (Trump is proof of it), and the only thing holding back the US from self-immolation and destroyin

Or we could generate electricity with nuclear, solar, wind, and hydropower. Well, that's exactly what we're doing. The sooner EU gets away from fossil fuels we do not have (except NO I suppose), the better for everyone.

How exactly has the EU fucked over the US? By enforcing basic consumer protections like making sure airlines can't just unilaterally cancel your flight with no compensation? By making sure your image cannot be used by megacorporations

If by pissing off you mean "making foreign entities follow European regulations", then, yes. But also, that's exactly what US, China, and Russia do too. Don't break the law. It's simple.

Which is why I'm sceptical of past predictions. Infinite typewriters and monkeys, and such. I've seen "China is collapsing" videos for the past 10 years. They seem to be going rather well over there so far. They're

"they know what they are doing". Individually? Maybe! I hear Meta pays among the highest, if not the single highest salaries of FAANG. But as a company? Meta has been entirely incapable to innovate since it was renamed. Betting bi

The real question is whether AWS European Sovereign Cloud IAM data is still hosted in us-east-1 with zero HA. Because this is exactly the case right now if you start any workloads in the Dublin region, for example. If the IAM in us-east-1 g

This is just a shitpost sadly, not an actual executive.

I will never forget how they literally renamed one of the most well-known tech companies on the planet to chase an idea that would very obviously fail to make money.

Just another SaaS whose promises we are forced to trust, but have no way of ensuring they keep them. No self-hosting option? I really don't aee how anyone would migrate to this. The "bloat" of Slack is also years of people ma

What a shocker, Elon Musk openly lying and deceiving the public? I sure did not expect this from the world's most powerful billionaire.

I don't think this will ever be resolved. It's a twofold problem, I believe. People are lonely because of fear of rejection and also actively avoid new people out of caution and high standards. So two people who are otherwise lone

Please edit the title and add (2014), it's quite confusing to find over 10 year old articles in the Hacker News frontpage.

I can agree with that. Unlimited free speech could have been positive maybe 100 years ago. Strikes, protest, writing angry letters to your Mayor demanding change are all great forms of speech. Posting some unhinged xenophobic conspiracy the

I see lots of disagreements here, but I must say I also soured on free speech. I used to think that free speech was necessary and overall a positive for society. Then I saw the Capitol attack in US. The disinformation spread in England abou

I learned my lesson when Microsoft OneNote, upon having my notebooks full and my storage cap hit, did not even allow me to delete anything, because I could not save due to "storage full". However, it was also impossible to export
