Edit: Based on the downvotes, you obviously didn't. This is a PROPOSAL, not a LAW. It needs to be voted by the EU Parliament (you know, one of the 3 components of democracy as in "separation of powers").
Voting once every 5 years for groups which are organised cross-country, but not letting citizens vote cross-country, and this being the only democratic organ and the one with the least power, with no consequences for any of them breaking election promises, is imho not “letting the people decide”, but “oligarchy with the illusion of choice”
And those politicians there form their own little interest groups across members states and vote accordingly, which is the exact opposite of what we think of democracy.
You'd basically have to rely on magic to know how those politicians you vote in will decide to vote on because they join some sect that lobbies them to vote against your interests.
And we all know no voter aside from the 1% will ever think this far. It's exactly like you called it, the illusion of choice
Anyone that uses Okta should be accepting the fact that they have outsourced a huge chunk of responsibility of their job onto an enterprise company.
These github links are not open source projects, these are public readable software projects. You do not control any of it, you have to deal with internal company politics like "# PRs opened", "# Bugs solved" for the developers' next performance review.
I wonder; do you think these LLMs now rather have text tools, or is this still straight out of the neural network? If its the latter, thats incredibly impressive.
LOL making one db service a central point of failure, charge gold for small compute instances. Rage about needing Multi AZ, make the costs come onto the developer/organization. But, now fail on a region level, so are we going to now have multi-country setup for simple small applications?
I thought it was a pretty well-known issue that the rest of AWS depends on us-east-1 working. Basically any other AWS region can get hit by a meteor without bringing down everything else – except us-east-1.
It means that in order to be certified you have to use providers that in turn are certified or you will have to prove that you have all of your ducks in a row and that goes way beyond certain levels of redundancy, to the point that most companies just give up and use a cloud solution because they have enough headaches just getting their internal processes aligned with various certification requirements.
Medical, banking, insurance to name just a couple are heavily regulated and to suggest that it 'just means certain levels of redundancy' is a very uninformed take.
It is definitely not true that only big companies can do this. It is true that every regulation added adds to the power of big companies, which explains some regulation, but it is definitely possible to do a lot of things yourself and evidence that you've done it.
What's more likely for medical at least is that if you make your own app, that your customers will want to install it into their AWS/Azure instance, and so you have to support them.
