Sure: "The cloud doesn't solve common IT problems, only shifts them around,

amateurs, you get amateurish results. Renting cloud-based amateurs has all the

You're going a step further in the case of cloud though.

Before you'd at least hire the sysadmins. Now you rely on probably dirt cheap
offshore consulting.

It's just more outsourcing. It comes with scale and as cancer it is just a
reality. Eventually it will have to be burned down.

They won’t admit it, but many companies move to the cloud not only because
they don’t want to deal with administering servers but also because they don’t
want to deal with server administrators.

It’s not like on prem server administrators have a great track record when it
comes to security.

That's a remarkable lens. One thing that I think has been lost in photography
today thanks to the smartphone is the value of high quality lenses. You simply
can't replace great optics with software (at least, not yet).

I've got a few higher end cameras, and my favourite is probably my Leica Q2.
It has a fixed prime lens (28mm), and the photos are just astounding.
