  • Shiiit … I’m just over hear in the midwest US, slightly relieved to learn that Crypo.com is based in Singapore.

    That said, how the hell is Europe still guzzling this cloud kool-aide? Is a Jelly-fin, LDAP/etc, and/or Database server really so much more than cities of millions’ infrastructure peeps can wrap their minds around?

    Oh right, ars is US-centric. The point of the article is to make the EU sound like helpless morons. Guess I might have to edit this comment after I read the article … nevermind, any additional nuance is down to the number of words they spent saying little of consequence. The myopia is more big-tech and cloud-centric than anything along national lines.













  • I know I’m in the minority, being less afraid of a Nuclear-armed Iran and/or North Korea than the sheer idiocy and malice of US foreign policy, since '98 or so, but it blows my mind more and more how people just can’t see it.

    An invasion takes millions of lives, full-stop. There’s no way either country gets enough ICBM’s in the air to offset their entire territories being turned into glass parking lots. The cost-benefits ratio for both sides in all this posturing only makes sense if there’s a shared goal to keep their dictators in power.
