> it's a decision rooted in safety concerns

Excelent decision! Now, how about a recall for those cars that are stuck with touch buttons?

I hope some government will start saying 'leave your social media apps or we will have to raise taxes to pay for these units'.

When everything else fails, bring in the military. Now, I wonder if they're going to miniaturize this Armored Car T (is it a Ford Model T?!?!) or just run over the patient with a full size...

It depends a lot on your needs. MinIO
* Only does replication on multi-DCs (we do distributed and replicated erasure coding),
* Does not have a metadata database.
* It's really S3-like, as it uses its own SDK for connecting to it. It means anything talking 100% S3 might not work.
* It also lacks some enterpise features like object lock, versioning, etc.
* MinIO has a concept of “zones” or “server pools”. Initial MinIO cluster is a zone; then expanded on a zone-by-zone basis which limits scalability.

We sell easily scalable AWS S3 on prem. https://cloudian.com/

"Kill Amazon", period.

that's called 'a taxi'

.. .and it's not only China saying it: Sweden too.

Why do they even need to raise investing money if they can create it from nothing?

Yeah, there are countries like Argentina where most cell phone companies charge data per byte except WA text.

I wonder how much work would it take to build a captcha system that helps science projects by building public, annotated datasets. I would love to see this being used in the wild instead the private datamining done by Google.

I found a solution this weekend: just disable CSS. Pages are readable again, besides the catastrophic breakdown of design, but articles... man, articles are text and images again. And space/PgDown scrollable.

You should install a firewall in your router, enable the few ports you want to use from the outside, and log every other connection attempt. That way you'll have an idea how often ports are scanned daily. For me is at least 100 times per hour in a single IP, most of them trying the telnet port, because a lot of surveillance cameras and other I(di)oT stuff still use telnet.
