The situation in Iran is somewhat different. Despite being under heavy international sanctions and having a government that also exercises strict control over internet access, Iran saw the deployment of Starlink terminals following specific events, such as natural disasters or in response to certain socio-political situations. This deployment could be part of a broader strategy by the U.S. or other entities to provide uncensored internet access to the Iranian population during times of crisis. However, it's important to note that such deployments might be temporary, unofficial, or not fully sanctioned by the Iranian government.

Do not do this - I believe it may even be illegal in the UK without per-arranging.

In the UK you need to email BT (who operate the emergency system) and arrange a window to place a series of test calls to both 999 and 112. They will give you a time, a date and a script to exactly follow. If you pre-schedule with them it's supported.

Their email is 999testcalls@bt.com

Not sure if US have a system like it.

If both the person paying for the “content” and the person posting it are the same person then it could be used to launder money.

The problem is that the amount of money you could flow through it would be very little before it starts raising red flags compared to other methods.

Would be ideal for a small time drug dealer who wants an easy way to get cash though.

In HTML/CSS you should be able to specify a fallback source if the first returns a non-200.

Except if the HTML/CSS is hosted on that CDN?

Although to me-and-you and to an extent SME's it may seem crazy to buy one over running it on-prem or at other companies to large organisations it makes perfect sense and the cost is just a drop in the ocean compared to their normal AWS monthly bill. Lets not forget AWS will only invest time if there are customers who will actually use it.

A few points from the top of my head:

* Large enterprises won't pay the costs listed publicly, they will each have their own contract written up with AWS.

* Contracts - it can take YEARS for new companies to be added to the approved vendors list.

* Frameworks will already be in place for how resources are managed and accessed securely.

* Enterprise support agreements will already be in place.

* Physical security that is regularly audited

I really hope this is not a precedence for turning 'privacy' into meaning 'encryption to our data centers'.

Recently implemented datadog at a large financial organisation - it does well at focusing on its core features. We had to create a lot of glue to make it enterprise ready - Active directory sync due to it not supporting groups, permission model is poor. If you wanted anything done raise a support ticket rather than with your sales contact too.

I think 48/72 hours is in-practical - I would guess that the most common legitimate reasons for disabling Find my iPhone is either 1) to sell the phone 2) To get it repaired by apple.

Asking these people to wait two days before they can get their phone fixed or to sell it wouldn't be a nice user experience. Can you imagine the amount of pissed off people in the Apple store waiting to get their screen fixed only to be told to come back in 2 days?

1-2 hours would be the ideal candidate I think without being a inconvenience.

Another idea would be a 24-48 hour window to 'revoke' the disabling of the activation lock. Perhaps they can login to Apple ID website to reinstate activation lock remotely.

Ha! This brings back memories - trying to figure out exactly what HL7 FHIR resource your data belongs to, and how the relationships are setup can take a long time.

A few years ago I worked with a healthcare analytics company, creating an HL7 FHIR server as well as a de-identification product. The main problem with this area isn't technical - FHIR, HL7 etc all exist to meet these problems, rather the issue is buy-in/the market.

Most of those healthcare companies take the approach of "if it works don't touch it" or they where already bought into one of the existing large EPR's - which is why we ended up putting our product on the back-burner as the market wasn't there yet.

It seems to me these days that job titles are more an indicator of time-served rather than technical abilities in many organisations in addition to a method of retaining staff.

I recently observed a company move from 'everyone is the same title' to specific jnr, snr, distinguished engineer titles. The primary reasons for this was to create a framework for salaries and provide a defined track for 'progressing' as the organisation got bigger.

But if you think about it - it really comes down to a method of retaining staff and salary banding, I have yet to see any organisations where the titles of engineers defines their abilities, all engineers have the same say.

Rancher 2.0 GA 8 years ago

I choose Rancher 1.x for a large project at my last place, it allowed Researchers to run their algorithms wrapped up in containers. From the start Rancher was the perfect solution that checked all the boxes: really easy to use web interface, LDAP Authentication, automatic deployment of hosts, easy to wrap up deployments into catalog items. But after a few months it was just so unbelievably buggy due to the products maturity.

It's good to see they have got their focus right with version 2.

Good solution! Openresty could create the JWT and add it to the forwarding headers, although the user would still need a cookie to maintain session with the proxy.

Only disadvantage I could see would be performance.
