You really don't see the risk of having no data centers you actually control as an organization? Maybe I misunderstood your initial statement? At first it sounded like we kind of agreed with each other but didn't understand that was the case at first.

Yes, Netflix had their own infrastucture in addition to other multiple redundant cloud services for their CDNs: You're kind of proving my point?

Sounds like wild overpromising
- Comment on A single point of failure triggered the Amazon outage affecting millions 5 days ago:
There are still self hosted places today, not everything is cloud based.
Also, there isn't more competition largely because of Amazon so, while I agree with the sentiment that it could improve things, in practice it's a moot point.
- Comment on A single point of failure triggered the Amazon outage affecting millions 5 days ago:
The problem is far more pervasive than any single incident, allowing a single megacorporation to control most of the Internet is a bad idea for many reasons.
- Comment on A single point of failure triggered the Amazon outage affecting millions 5 days ago:
If we want a truly robust system, yeah, we kinda do. This sort of event is only one of the issues with allowing a single entity to control pretty much everything.
There are plenty of potential issues from a corrupt rogue corporation hijacking everything to attacks to internal fuck-ups like we just experienced. Sure, they can design a better cloud, but at the end of the day, it's still their cloud. The Internet needs to be less centralized, not more (and I don't just mean that purely in terms of infrastructure, though that is included of course).
- Comment on A single point of failure triggered the Amazon outage affecting millions 6 days ago:
We need to ditch cloud entirety and go in house again.

- Comment on How OnlyFans Piracy Is Ruining the Internet for Everyone | Innocent sites are being delisted from Google because of copyright takedown requests against rampant OnlyFans piracy. 1 month ago:
Can't speak to the why but in practice, nobody ever gets punished for abusing DMCA takedowns and it's a widespread practice.

False DMCA takedowns need to be criminalized, companies have abused them for decades now.

I read it yesterday and no longer have the link handy. I'm having a hard time believing you spent much earnest effort looking for it if you couldn't find it. I searched for "Canada DUI entry law" and it comes up as the first 5 hits at least.
I'm definitely not going to waste my time continuing to debate you though so you believe whatever you like: Your ignorance is not my responsibility or burden.
- Comment on Great Advertise 2 months ago:
No but it's easy enough to find. If you are doubting me and genuinely curious, go find it! In fact, if you doubt what I have to say, you should definitely look it up for yourself instead of taking my word for it.
- Comment on Great Advertise 2 months ago:
The Canadian one that states you can't come to their country with a DUI unless you go through their reportedly expensive and time consuming process?
- Comment on Great Advertise 2 months ago:
Looking at their rules for it, it actually seems kinda fucked: One bad choice years ago bars you for life unless you are wealthy enough to go through their process and hire lawyers, it's a even crime to try and enter, but that is definitely not a widely known fact, so even though someone might have paid their dues and even been completely sober for years, they're still fucked unless they're well off.
I get wanting to protect people and stop dangerous driving but effectively banning someone for life if they made a mistake and happen to be poor seems a bit unfair. You can bet your ass rich people have all sorts of ways around this that completely circumvent the system anyhow on top of all that.
As usual, it's another regulation that disproportionately affects poor people who are unable to afford proper legal representation to begin with (and are more likely to be falsely convicted of a DUI in the first place).
