Google is Skynet.

Why not? Ad company wasting energy to run ad business. Nothing "clean" about it.

Nah. Because Skynet, I believe time travel is impossible, time is now or never.

I wonder what has bigger impact on climate, driving a car daily or feeding Google and Adtech industry with all your data, that has to be stored and constantly processed.

A generic engineering rule: fight complexity, a.k.a KISS principle. It takes additional effort and courage. You'd need to fight for that project time too. You'll live longer (and your systems too), but probably on your next job :)

> controlling everything over SSH

It just takes some experience. I mostly disable SSH for example. You bake your images once, not install everything on each boot.

> I did surprise someone from Eastern Europe when I was in Indonesia that I had never touched USD

Thanks, as I thought, most international money transfers involve USD and, because of USD, have to use US based intermediaries.

No takers? lol It speaks loud about integrity of a site that forces Google code on its users.

Also. Why this post is missing from ask link on the home page? https://news.ycombinator.com/ask

I believe HN using Google script / service is very wrong. Google is an Ad company.

Agree. My mistake, I asked wrong question. I'm much more interested in whether Google Captcha's script can access on-same-page form with already filled credentials, so they can link login with IP address. Password is another question.

> jacquesm: Ugh. Apparently this happens when HN is under attack.

> dang: .. We turned it on temporarily because HN was under attack by an account-stealing botnet.

Is HN is still under attack or it was last week? I'm still getting captchas on every login for last few (5) days.

Yes, It was noted in this thread few times. I'm talking about all other transfers, not EU-EU. Even then, the wikipedia link shows that one EU-EU transaction which involved USD, was affected.

"U.S. control over transactions within the EU.

..The transaction was automatically routed through the US, possibly because of the USD currency used in the transaction, which is how the United States was able to seize the funds.." [0]

Also: "The U.S. Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) enforces U.S. economic sanctions programs ... and any person or entity physically located in the United States (including branches of foreign corporations)" [2]. And most foreign banks do have US branches. And if transaction is in US Dollars, OFAC applies too [1]. I can dig deeper, down the rabbit hole :)

All right. Seems like if a transaction involves USD, it must pass US based correspondent bank.

Exposure is too long, all details lost.

Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned. Respect, man.

Dollar or not is not that important. Forcing US intermediary is.

> Tax declarations are public information

What was historical reason for this? I see it as a privacy invasion. Is it a case for GDPR?

This. It takes years to learn good architecture, and Cloudformation nudges you to make it right. Thats why you need senior infrastructure engineers.

And newborns would have mandatory NFC chips implanted. Ya.

> .. phone in my shirt pocket.. Recording would be unacceptable, but no one can tell if I am recording.

People know how phones work, you press a button to start recording. AR Glasses are expected to capture at all times, recording or sending to cloud for analysis. And that is what no one would like.

EU internal ones are likely an exception. Not an expert myself, it just consolidated in my mind as a fact from all the books and articles over the years.

> you can't risk to have anything even remotely approaching a monopoly in any part of the systems involved in making transactions.

AFAIK US is a monopoly for international money transfer. You just cannot bypass a US intermediary bank and US Dollar conversion.

> What a bizarre statement.

Perfectly correct statement.

What drone type/size? What charge was delivered, was it FPV or pre-programmed route? Stupid article, no details whatsoever.

I meant it in cloud, AWS/GCP, because devops, lol. With autoscaling.

I wonder what would be the cost without k8s setup and no containers at all, pure compute nodes. I bet my last socks twice less, at least.

On AWS, Cloudformation is far more reliable and lean (less LOC) than TF. No corrupted state issues, all resource properties are supported, parallel (fast) resource creation just for starters. And TF sales pitch about "multi-cloud" is nonsence, resources are too different between different clouds.
