Source? Assuming you're talking about 18% of traffic and not percentage of websites, how do you define what counts as traffic in that case? Transfer between AS's? Does internal traffic within AS's count? Does traffic…
This is a point worth emphasizing, a tax being repealed does not necessarily imply a lack of efficacy, due to the aforementioned reasons of political influence/corruption etc. Switzerland has done very well with a…
Its so investors can leverage the massive tax breaks available when investing in US based startups. Hence why YC also lets you found in tax havens like the Cayman Islands. Note this is probably not the official reason,…
It's worth mentioning IP law is applied on a per-territory basis (i.e. you have to register your IP in every territory you would like it enforced, and that territory's courts are solely responsible for its enforcement…
If there is sufficient deviation from GDPR (who knows what will happen from this speculative article alone), the UK will probably lose its adequacy to transfer personal data, which will materially impact how…
They pretty much already offer this with outposts (its technically their hardware but its on your premises).
Nit: Switzerland as a country is a semi-direct democracy not a direct democracy. Only 2 cantons fulfil the criteria for the classical definition of direct democracy.
I've used JSON schema a fair bit for config files for provisioning infrastructure and its been great. For example I have a kubernetes clusters JSON file cleanly schematized which specs all the clusters I need (node…
The customisability is definitely a plus, you can make slate fit in perfectly with almost any UI. Whilst you don't get complex image handling by default, I think their image handling example [0] is a really nice minimal…
I'm not a materials guy personally so won't be the best person to explain the exact science behind them, but they're definitely a really impressive bit of engineering. I had a quick browse of this article and it seems…
Just as an example, IBM receives almost 10,000 patents a year. At $100,000-$1,000,000 per patent, that year of patents alone in 15-20 years time would cost $1-10 billion. That is most definitely not a rounding error and…
Thanks for the response, it seems my initial take was indeed unbalanced and hadn't factored in the potential of geographically distributed raises which benefit the founders local territories whilst bringing the benefits…
This is probably a somewhat cynical take, but Stripe Atlas' US only offering is a big contributor to international startup brain drain which is costing local economies significantly. When countries (such as within the…
To counter your devils advocate, universities within the UK which perform the most cutting edge research in this specific field are already closely linked to specialist hospitals, and can obtain the kind of data they…
Definitely wasn't expecting the chief architect at Slack to reply to that example, really appreciate the response, HN is such a blessing in that regard :). The scaling datastores at slack is a super interesting read…
Forgive me for my naivety, but whats the point of the founders staying when you're taking out almost all the potential upside for them by acquiring them? Surely if they believed in the ability for their company to…
Sure, with respect to the language used in the original post, modal logic can be used as a formal basis for how we derive meaning from phrases like 'must' and 'never'. This has a lot of overlap with the field of…
I don't usually like engaging in political discourse online, as its very rarely fruitful, but I'd just like to encourage you to study some philosophy before making statements like these whereby you treat your own…
AAD implements SAML, OIDC, SCIM, LDAP, Kerberos, FIDO2 and more. Even if it was not a Microsoft product, it would have better non-proprietary interoperability than most other SSO platforms.
Azure AD is the biggest in the game by far in terms of SSO, stretching every vertical from education to investment banking.
If it wasn't considered a solved problem, we wouldn't have public CA's for our browsers to trust, as their very premise is based on having a secure way to store private keys. I think a FIPS-140-2 level 4 HSM and…
Most people on here dislike Azure because they don't buy into the Microsoft ecosystem, which is absolutely understandable, but if you do buy into the ecosystem, Azures really pretty great. AAD ties everything together…
"Granted this was a couple years ago and running dotnet framework, so perhaps things have improved" - I think this explains the differences in our opinions on .Net, as I'm from the opposite side of the spectrum having…
Azure monitor ping web tests are free and unlimited [0] and wont violate any terms of service, plus you can add in much more complex features from servers all over the world if you so wish. This probably sounds like a…
