To whoever does this I have only one quote from Jaws:
You go in the cage, cage goes in the water, you go in the water, shark's in the water, our shark. Farewell and adieu to you, fair Spanish ladies. Farewell and adieu, you ladies of Spain.

"I wonder how this kind of thing is organised, since there's all these jurisdictions." In theory simple. Crowdstrike is doing buisness in state X, so compensation claims will be settled in court in state X. So lots of courts and lawers all around the world, will be quite busy for some time with the case.
And if judgements are found, local to the jurisdiction assets (including and money being forwarded by banks, eg via credit cards, or wire transfers) can be seized. If that doesn't work, judgements can be registered in other courts for collection purposes.

The number of US tech businesses that are surprised they need, or think they can ignore the need, to obey employment and data protection laws when working in other jurisdictions is simply bonkers.
It's not unusual in the US to assume the US are the only planet in the universe.
Americans have a very strange and tunnel-vision world view.
I blame most of this on the fact that when you turn on any news channel, in an average 1 hour new program, less than 10% of the time is spent talking about anything outside of the US (and when they do talk about international news, it's always tied back to how it impacts the US - no one is listening to international news just for the sake of knowing what's happening in the world)
I was aware of this being the case when dealing with consumers, but had assumed that because B2B contracts are assumed to be between 2 sophisticated parties that there is little legislative protection that could override the terms of the contract. My understanding of law is generally UK based, but I'm not aware of legislation what would supersede a contract term limiting liability when the event that created the liab…
As the article already states, in most jurisdictions you cannot void gross negligence liability in contracts. It will probably come down to that in those jurisdictions. If they willfully did not implement staged rollouts that look like negligence to me but ianal. You kill canaries for a reason.
Can someone explain to me why the protections that Falcon provides, are not provided by the OS itself? I am not completely naive, I've secured quite a few critical Linux servers, but with Windows it seems that there do not exist the same clear roles of security. Contrast with Red Hat or even Canonical, where is feels like I'm (correctly) fighting the security of the systems to get them into a state where my users can…
They are. It doesn't, y'know, do anything. It ticks the box for your auditors and occasionally makes your computers stop running, which is par for the course in regulated environments.
Awesome. Falcon has been widely known (for years) as an utter piece of shit (code wise). Maybe now ClownStrike will start testing it properly, hopefully thereby fixing the stability and other issues.

Well, it'd be a lot easier if most US entities understood that M/d/yy(yy) format is rare, or that default to Frankenstein degrees is pretty much the same/awkward (even Microsoft reset their weather widget to F on regular basis). The root of issue, not understanding local laws/culture, is very similar - surrounded by a vast market/culture (US +Canada) dulls your senses for the rest of the globe.
That's Fronkensteen.

Special mention of the expression “the west” which Americans like to use to mean the USA and some amorphous blob I don’t really want to think about but I’m going to pretend is exactly the same as the USA.
