I’ve recently heard of a floor-covering company owner, who calls in reps from “American made” carpet, hardwood, and laminate, and gets them to leave him “samples”.

He has a contact in China who will “clone” those samples, and make virtually the same product, and sell it back to him at a fraction of the cost.

His customers are not aware that “Chinese” product is being installed in their homes, and the dealer/owner is making an unheard of profit on flooring by marking it up.

President Trump should include floor covering, and these type things, on his Tariff.

REAN Cloud LLC

the most disturbing thing about this company is that it was founded by three Indian nationals, and 90% of employees are Indian, either H1Bs in the U.S., or employees in India. the Pentagon should not be putting critical information in the hands of foreign nationals.

Just what information is going on the internet for the military?

My engineering group is running on a set of VMs that were owned/operated by the company that we recently acquired/merged. The old data center is being shut down. The corporate IT types have arranged to put Amazon EC2 inside the company firewall so we can have VMs hosted there. I stood up a RHEL 7.5 VM on EC2 just for drill. It was fairly easy. Writing code that leverages EC2 is a different problem. Securing a VM in that environment is also foreign territory. For now, I'm staying with a private data center. Not putting customer data out on EC2.

ALL of the alternative companies listed are sharing technology with China. It was mostly started by IBM.

Why, in the name of all that is Holy, is the CIA exposing its data by using ‘the Cloud?’
Everything should be internal - and using sneaker-net (hand carried) wherever possible.
