First off, as an occasional customer of logistics providers who sees so much crappy software held with duct tape and a wish, I completely agree that it is smart to bring it in house. You need a solid team of at least two - a product person

I guess TLS has a dependency on the public key infrastructure (eg Let's Encrypt, or whoever issues wifey accepted certs). Which makes end to end encryption between users harder (most of this stuff is intended for server auth and encryp

With a single server sure, but anything complex than that, most companies don't have a well-rehearsed cold start procedure.

Have you been living under a rock? Nvidia tech is export-controlled and basically banned for export to China. Not that people don't find workarounds. I guess if I was the US I'd look to recruit smugglers and have them ship tainted

That sounds like a lot of hassle. It's also possible to bring empty bottles and fill them up at the airport fountains, which is comparatively simpler IMO...

That's not an exception, I think? Most online service businesses that I've worked with wouldn't be able to run their operations from a "cold start". That takes a lot of effort to engineer and in practice it doesn&#x

It's maybe better than to take the pain to set up git only to see people use it in the same way, setting up a gazillion branches called V1, v2_customer_fix, v3_final, etc...

I claim that these companies do not have a particularly high amount of in-house infosec know-how and outsource a lot of it, not necessarily just in terms of buying equipment, but also the service component of how to set up business practice

The company called AT&T now and the company called AT&T that invented Unix have really nothing in common but a thin stretch of history by now. The technology development units of AT&T were split off into Lucent a long time ago.

No it all really changed when storage service manufacturers realized that they could market 1,000,000,000 bytes as "1 gigabyte", to people who then saw their computer tell them that there was about 7% less than a gigabyte in there

AT&T and phone carriers in general are not technology companies. They are infrastructure companies that purchase off-the-shelf communication technology, slap a billing system on top, and then spend most of their time on operations (find

There's been kind of a silver lining consumer benefit, historically. In early years, SIM locking allowed carriers in Europe to subsidize device cost based on expected revenue, effectively offering financing outside of the financial sys

Markets exist where SIM locking has been prohibited for a long time (Wikipedia says Canada, Chile, China, Israel, and Singapore at least). Financing still exists in these countries. The phone is absolutely not "collateral". The ca
