Japan asked countries to skip China's WWII commemorative events in Sept.

  • Yep, we don't get to study the Nanjing masacre, for example unless we go out of our way to learn about it.

    • Microsoft says U.S. law takes precedence over Canadian data sovereignty

  • "Usually"

    Sure.

    But there are custoner managed keys which do exactly what I think it does.

    • Protests as newborn removed from Greenlandic mother after ‘parenting competence’ tests

  • And we here in Canada still ashamed of residential schools. You'd think other countries would have learned.

    • Egyptian Officials in New York Beat Two Gaza Protesters on Video. The NYPD Arrested the Protesters.

  • Haven't they seen enought proof of the militarization of the police in the US plus the current actions of the Trump government to create a military run country?

    • Microsoft says U.S. law takes precedence over Canadian data sovereignty

  • Wow. I used to be a lead Enterprise architect for a large corporation. We had some clients who explicitly required, by contract, that the data should be hosted in Canada and only accessed by people in Canada. This included the department of National defense.

    Microsoft complied by hosting instances in Canada and we went through hoops to ensure data remained in Canada.

    This seems to uppend the game. However, all this information should already be encrypted. Whenever it isn't, I'm sure corporations are scrambling to fully encrypt (or de-host) data.

    I mean, data (at rest and in transit) encryption has been available for other risk vectors. This seems to be no different. If Microsoft/Amazon/Oracle, etc had a backdoor to unencrypt the data, it would create a higher backslash.

    For individual users, I don't think 99% of them care where their data is hosted.

    • Okay why is your distro the best?

  • Really? I guess everyone was 15 at some point and hadn't heard that distro wars are useless 🤣

    There is no best. Period.

    • Is It Just Me?

  • I don't think it's just you. Like it wasn't just one person thinking computers would make us dumb or the automobile making us lazy. I'm betting that someone somewhere thought that cooking food on the fire would make us weaker.

    Technology has that ability to generate opposition from status quo.

    And as with any technology, there are good uses, bad uses and frivolous uses.

    Remember the awful nonsense web pages of the early 90's?

    I think AI will make the life's of some of us easier. But I also think it will continue widening the digital divide.

    The biggest concern is that, by nature, AI needs massive amounts of power which can only be paid by people with big resources and those people are training it. AI has the trainer's bias.

    However, end consumer AI is the tip of the iceberg. AI will succeed when we don't even realize it's there.
