#33Oh, nice, my company is just integrating Okta. Is Cuba still being punished for daring to host Soviet missiles? I think the way we've treated them is really terrible.

#35Earlier quoted context omitted.
At this point, Cuba is stuck being a chip in presidential politics to win Florida’s electoral votes.
Meaning if commerce with Cuba was not ban it would be a threat to Florida’s economy?

#37So it turns out that when you outsource auth, you also outsource some of the governance on who can access your platform. Isn't access control a set of patterns rather than a service? When did it stop being a core competency of web applications?
I’m curious to know if there are any oss alternatives for similar services.

You can argue whether or not sanctions are an effective way to promote regime change, or if they just hurt the regular citizens of rogue governments. I think they are often quite ineffective.
But there's no defending the Cuban regime.

#39That last clause has also encompassed things like Hague prosecutors [0]. If your interpretation of these regulations depends on your assessment of the trustworthiness of the regulator, this is a very relevant datapoint.
Imagine major tech companies geoblocking United Nations offices. Is that far-fetched fantasy?
