What if Iran ends up breaking the backs of corporate America? As an American, I'm not against that...
I want this war to end as soon as possible, but is this a surprise?
They’re taking on hundreds of millions from the Pentagon, they are military contractors.
I do not think bombing data centers will result in more than sporadic regional service disruptions though. Data will just get routed through other regions and increase latency. That’s what the internet was invented for and AWS + Google run multi zone clouds.
It’s yet to be seen if Iranian hackers can deal any real damage to these companies.
The reality is that these multi region "clouds" are not nearly as resilient as they seem, and applications that have built on top of then even less so.
I'm far from an expert, but it seems like if one cloud node goes down, pay hackers to slam everything with bot traffic and the system is brought to its knees.
I only feel bad for all the sysadmins who will get woken up because of this
American here. Can someone start a go fund me for Iran, on the condition that participants are allowed to attend an exclusive event for the live tar and feathering of Zuck the Cuck and Peter Theil? We could probably raise more money than the tech bros have.
Iran just might save humanity.
Americans sure as hell aren't
I love this idea!! ❤️
Well...we're waiting!
“President Trump is not worried”
Welp, I’m satisfied, how about you? /s
Well, didnt musk and suckerberg get enlisted in the military for some bs reason for pentagon access?
Not them, four other C-suites: https://www.npr.org/2025/07/03/1255164460/1a-army-07-03-2025
But I haven't heard anything else about it. They wouldn't need it for any access, either, civilians are granted access for various things all the time.
oh no, that's so horrible... 🤣
please do
