Just a reminder that aws has military contracts

[-] noxypaws@pawb.social 3 points 1 day ago

AWS has at least two entire regions that are airgapped, exist within US military bases, are mostly airgapped, and require anyone working in or with them to have TS/SCI security clearances, to the point where AWS will facilitate (and award salary bumps for) employees getting those clearances.

Nothing to worry about here!

Yes, but they're not evenly distributed across regions. You could take out every non-US and non-EU AWS region, and most of the top-500 traffic AWS sites would still be up.

What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.
