  1.  @marcellkovacs5452  because most people expect that to be handled in-house. It's pretty cool though that all an adversary has to do to cripple our nation and compromise national security is take out a vulnerable civilian contractor. It's like having this huge, super secure facility full of vaults and loot and guards and guns, state of the art security, and depending on normal utility mains power with no on-site generation or backup, so some movie-plot heist crew just cuts your power and all security becomes useless. It's like people who get into prepping but don't think it through, they buy a ton of guns, gear, food, then when a disaster actually strikes they're found later in a giant cache of supplies, dead the first week from dehydration or waterborne illness because they forgot to prep for their most basic physical need, clean water.

  2. Just ask Parler, oh wait, you can't because AWS blacklisted and memory-holed them out of digital existence. Because we've always been at war with Eastasia, er I mean Oceania...2+2 is however many 2s you want me to say!

  3.  @sivasankar2784  if we had TRUE cloud computing, your data would never be stored for long on any one system or with one provider. It would be distributed, mirrored, redundant. I think we need to rethink the paradigms of storage, move to a more biological type base. DNA is a prime example: theoretically, you could take a single cell from anywhere in my body, my 'cloud' as it were, and recreate my body entirely from it, even after the original was destroyed. The data of my genetic makeup is distributed, backed up, in every part of the data itself. It gets even crazier when you think of identical twins. If I was a twin, and I took my twins DNA, identical to my own in every way, and cloned them...is that a clone of them, or of me? The data is the same either way, so does the difference even matter? It's like having 2 hard drives, identical down to the bit, and you copy one onto a 3rd, is it a copy of that drive, a copy of the other identical drive, both? Is there even any way to tell a difference as far as the information is concerned? Am I still writing this?

  4. Microservices architecture, the Achilles heel of the current online ecosystem. Its greatest strength IS its greatest weakness: decentralization. When all the disparate parts work, everything works. When one microservice breaks though, it breaks everything. It also makes you cancelable, Parler being a prime example.
