Can anyone recommend a European alternative for Amazon AWS?
Dear HN, please scale down the panic. >President Trump’s Executive Order calls for federal agencies in the U.S. to ensure that their privacy notices make clear that Privacy Act protections extend only to citizens and permanent residents of the U.S. Importantly, Article 14 of the Order explicitly states that the federal agencies must do so in a manner that is “consistent with applicable law.” In the context of EU-U.S.…

Aren't the data centers technically owned by Amazon Ireland for compliance (cough tax) reasons? Amazon clearly state that data never moves out of the region.
Microsoft have gone as far with Azure in Germany to sign an agreement where T-Systems own the data and the systems and Microsoft are simply a contractor supplying a service to them.

You get the benefits of strong German privacy laws, on top of the EU's data protection directive[1].

Why? What warmongering have you seen? What has been done thus far that wasn't broadcasted in the campaign? Where in the campaign was there indication that he'd want to start a war? I'm not saying it's impossible that trump could be offensive enough to cause an attack on the US which then results in offensive US action - but I've seen nothing to indicate he'll go looking to do so as a matter of policy. Hyperbole is ev…
I haven't seen any warmongering. But what was broadcasted in the campaign I honestly rejected as too ridiculous to be true, and a case of media exaggerating about a candidate they don't like. But now it turns out that what was broadcasted in the campaign is in fact what the current President means to do, and this is scary. From what I remember from my history lessons, it smells too much of how Hitler started his rule…
Perhaps Europe should form a military of it's own for protection then?
Snarkiness aside, the nerve of people scolding the US like it's a foolish child while living under the umbrella of its "discount" military protection is a little galling.

The inverted index could simply be built/live on client side. The cloud is then just a backup data storage. Encrypted email is downloaded, unencrypted and indexed on your laptop/phone etc.
To be clear, you're proposing that users download their entire email storage to their phones and browsers before they can search or spam filter their email? And you think that this would be a compelling product for the average email user? I'm having a hard time figuring out if you're trolling.

This has been one of Trump's points for quite a while now. The USA will no longer subsidize the security of other states, unless there is some method of repayment.

> Assuming this doesn't happen, there's also a second scenario I fear - the US will say "fuck you Europe" and utterly withdraw, and Russia will get expansionist ideas. This has been one of Trump's points for quite a while now. The USA will no longer subsidize the security of other states, unless there is some method of repayment.
Maybe I'm naïve, but I thought a stable, prosperous market on the continent dominated by US products makes it worth it for the US.

FISA is for non-Americans' data, and you were talking about Americans previously. You can't write an executive order that says you can get access to something you previously needed a warrant for without a warrant.
Seems it does include US citizens. Per " https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_Intelligence_Surveilla... : "and "agents of foreign powers" (which may include American citizens and permanent residents suspected of espionage or terrorism)."
