Do it anyway. Having anything behind a TLD that is tied to the political control of a tiny geographic area is insanely careless

The quality of an invention has nothing to do with profitability. People actively fight competing products and ideas. A good invention is worth nothing unless you whore it out to existing industry

How do you sell what you did as "it just worked"? Rightaway? You lied to them. You have your coworkers on an unmanaged machine with a foreign OS on the guest WiFi with custom networking. Don't oversell a workaround as a solution.

Simplifying the problem to "Windows" seems unfair, given how many problems you found. All of them still require a long-term solution for regular operation.

They realized that they can get away with stealing data. No reason to keep up the facade anymore

These people claimed their product can pass the bar exam (it was a lie). Tells you how they feel about the legal system

I rather let it stand for the handful of people that need to know 95% of the room are challenged in their ability to evaluate the situation

Nothing you know about maybe

If you believe every developer at Amazon, including AWS, might as well permanently work from home, globally, then I just can't take your opinion seriously. Sorry. All points have been made

I don't even disagree with you. However...

There are thousands of people at home with access to privileged information and they have never heard of a KVM switch. It's insane how blind to reality some people here are. If you have never been in an online meeting where a participant had their camera off, mic on, was AFK, and their child fucked around on the laptop, because they never lock it, then you really have no fucking idea about security at scale.

Just because some people here love to work from home, doesn't mean it applies to an entire corporation as large as Amazon

I wish you knew how stupid you look for writing that

I'm not talking about myself in your last quote. I consult clients on their operational and technological challenges. I see a lot. Of course, you might also consult similar amounts of clients and you can see that their largest deficit contributor is that people aren't taking their work home, but that's not what I'm getting from you.

You just seem angry, because you can't stomach that there are valid reasons for you to move out of your comfort zone. Sorry.
