Poor development! If something can be done, people will do it.
Best way is to not allow it and provide no feedback.
This is awful. Wtf is wrong with men?
Hosting video is exactly elastic demand and a perfect use case for cloud computing. But not every business hosts video.
I’ve worked with companies that are moving at least some of their infrastructure back on premises.

There’s tons of good reasons to use IAAS, but there’s also a reason folks joke about the cost of aws.
Cloud computing CAN be cheaper but it can also be way more expensive. It is not a panacea.
It’s cheaper for companies that have unpredictable traffic/capacity. It lets you scale up/down without having build out physically.
For businesses with steady, predictable traffic it can be far more expensive. You buy the servers, you own them. They can run for years.
Cloud can get pricey veeeery quickly.
Our group got hit with this today. We don’t have a choice. If you want to run Windows, you have to install this software.
It’s why stuff like this is so crippling. Individual organizations within companies have to follow corporate mandates, even if they don’t agree.
It is galling to hear corporate run media talk about freedom of the press.
Nearly everything is made in China or has parts or materials from China.
Actual war would shut down pipelines for medicine, consumer electronics of every kind, appliances, tools, reagents, etc
I don’t know if people realize how reliant we are on China.
Back when there were “mom and pop” AirBnb, maybe this was a bad thing. Now, a huge number of rentals are owned by companies with big portfolios specializing in short term rentals.
It’s become a really big problem in certain cities.
I don’t see this as a bad thing.
The US invaded and occupied 2 countries on the pretext of terrorism and “weapons of mass destruction”.
Russia is seen as an invading force for attempting to protect Russian population in a country that borders its own.
If you’d asked me in 2012 if I supported dissolving NATO, I’d have called you crazy.
Ask me now…
As Ann Richards so succinctly put it: born on 3rd base, thought he hit a triple.
Born in the Middle East, my dad was brown. I look like him but got my anglo mom’s white skin. We fled during the war and came to the USA.
A liberal friend called me “white passing”. I wish someone would have told the kids in school that they can’t call me rag head, camel jockey, sand n***er because I’m white passing see?
I wish we could stop seeing memes about a fascist.
This could be a good thing. The monopoly Microsoft and the x86 architecture have had on computing has hampered new development for decades.
China is experimenting with different architectures and open source OS’s. It’ll be very interesting to see where this leads.
The vast majority of the population lives within 100 miles of the US border.
It’s bloody cold up there.

Also, Canada has become something of a US vassal state. As much as the general population may complain about Americans (and they do) their politics has become a fun house mirror image of the US. They’re neo-liberaling just as hard, if not harder than us. The only real difference is, some guy managed to get universal health care passed in the 50s, or they’d frankly be much worse off than they are now.
The US is going to experience massive brain drain in the next few years.
Welcome to being a 3rd world country y’all.

A long slog, but a well sourced and fantastic read.
I went to college in the early 90s and thought Chomsky was full if it back then. Glad to see others on the left voicing the same views.
Even with Star Wars, the studio would never have let him make the prequels.
Whether or not you liked them, it’s a trilogy about the main character becoming the bad guy.
This goddamn awful country built on settler colonial genocide can’t freaking help support another just like it.
I’m beside myself with impotent rage.
