Nothing new here.. I work for Microsoft. we have had most of our tools in the cloud for quite a while. One thing's for sure - every new app is cloud based. We use Azure AD and multi factor auth to allow access from internal and external networks. It's pretty common with small\medium companies I work with, maybe less with large enterprises.

It isn't just corporations that are not fond of remote work. As a lay-employee, I am not fond of remote work either. I would much rather have all my teammates in the same room. Tribal? Yes, unapologetically so.
Why?
Because :
- lots of information is ambient at the team place - because not all people are that concentrated at home - because working alone is difficult sometimes (especially when you're under stress) - because you're harder to contact (yes, some people are afraid to call a colleague at home) - because people don't like to have 4 simultaneous chat sessions with colleagues
So a day of remote work certainly help, but I'd venture to say that's a maximum for many. Of course there are people who a re remote 100% of the time, but not everybody can do that. You have to love your work for that, and many people don' t /love/ their work...

#143if it's crucial for the company, it should not be on a public internet.

Dont be absurd. Humans conform to communities now more than ever.
Those communities are formed around ideas, not limited to geography as previously.
So humans are not tribal, but now humans are not tribal only for geography-based situations?

What is a registered gun? I have plenty of guns, none of them are registered.
They all have serial numbers, and you had to show ID when buying them. So yes they are registered, you just might not be aware of this fact.
A paper 4473 sitting in the store-room of my local gun dealer (of which, there are thousands) is hardly akin to registration.
All firearms I have purchased privately, been gifted, or manufactured also do not fall under this category.

This varies by country. In Australia if I want a gun I need to have a firearms license, I have to register every weapon I own and store them in an safe that meets certain minimum requirements (separate ammunition, requires key and combination to enter, minimum thickness, rules about how it is secured to the wall/floor, etc) and at any time the police can show up and ask me to show them I have the weapons correctly se…
You also need a valid reason to have a gun- you can be a member of a gun club and be a recreational shooter, or for animal control (my license) but to have that you have to have a property to shoot on
Self-defense is not a valid reason, that should be noted.
The Australian government would rather you get beaten, raped, or murdered in your home than enable to safely and effectively defend yourself.

I know. There's not a single other implement in the home that could be used for defence. The government must want you beaten, raped and or murdered.

People assert the counterexample, too, but in reality it's hard to find real cases where anything bad happened as a result of running an open wifi network.
There are many, though they all came out of people trying to get away from kiddie porn charges. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/04/24/unsecured-wifi-chil...
The article mentions three cases, which I would not call "many". I have not been able to find any real numbers on this scenario; only a scattered handful of anecdotes, most of them referring to the same original news articles.
I'm not worried. It is extremely unlikely that there are any kiddie-porn fans in my neighborhood to begin with, much less any within range of my wifi signal.

Really?
What implement would you use that would be safer (for yourself) than a firearm? What would be more effective?
Better yet, what would you do as a weaker individual when confronted with two or more aggressors?
I don't know about you, but I don't pretend to be tough enough to "take em!" Nor would I want my wife to try and fend off those who have already committed felonies against my property.
Baseball bats, batons, mace, knives, etc. are heinous, laughable, or otherwise ineffective tools for self-defense.
Simply put: the firearm is an effective equalizer. It enables a mother to defend her family against multiple aggressors at otherwise completely unfavorable odds.
I value the lives of myself and loved ones far more than someone who has violated the rights to my property. I refuse to cede any advantage that might make the difference in my survival.
