zoinksson Ask HN: Which cloud provider to use in 2018? Azure, AWS, GCE, something else?

None, because the CLOUD act tells us that you'll be exposing everything that happens on your provider's platform to prying eyes.

Just like Facebook? No, slightly worse.

This has nothing to do with tracking barn doors, and everything to do with time-lapse photography for astronomy and telescopes.

zoinksson Facebook faces a reputational meltdown – What Zuckerberg should do

Zuckerberg fucks up an entire election, but gee, he's such a nice guy and all, so let's give him a hall pass, because we know he didn't mean it.

Kalanick fucks up one poor, poor college grad's career aspirations as a site reliability engineer, and because he must bear the responsibilty for the toxic subculture of the corporation he founded, he must be crucified.

Both of them are millionaires (or maybe that's with a B) several times over, so neither will ever actually know the meaning of the word "punishment" and with that in mind, it wouldn't cost me a wink of sleep to see Zuckerberg ousted from his company for everything that has happened.

What's the real story here? Hell hath no fury? Is that the lesson to learn?
