Yes but many things are a mystery beyond consciousness (thanks due to being conscious and able to reason) Like for instance whats beyond the universe? What dimensions are there? Is there a why to its [the universe] coming into being? Is there a what to it? And so on.
SSH for job running and management, NFS for filesystem access. Have remote systems mount the local file system. If NFS isn’t available, have the remote job pull files over rsync from your local system, then rsync back the resulting output.
I wouldn't recommend NFS over the open internet but there's a few options based around SFTP (rsync, scp, sshfs) and being based on SFTP means they can run without granting that user full SSH login access while still taking advantage of the security benefits that SSH brings.
For job execution you could write your own agent but doing likely wouldn't be any more secure than SSH. Just make sure you have disabled password logins (use keys instead) and fail2ban or equivalent running to auto blacklist attacks. You could probably use Chef or SaltStack if really wanted to avoid a remote shell but if you're not already running config management then you have to ask yourself if you're over-engineering a solution.
An alternative solution would be to run an OpenVPN tunnel and then you can SSH to your hearts content. But even here, unless you have multiple machines you want to connect to, I can't help thinking you're just making life harder for yourself without getting any realistic gains.
This is all based on the very high level spec provided so I accept there might be some currently undisclosed detail that renders the above suggestions moot.
NFS works great over the open Internet, as long as you do it through a secure tunnel. I've been doing this for years as a way of increasing the size of the available storage in a VPS.
I've used both vtun and WireGuard for remote NFS. On a good day, I get 100MB/s to the NFS filesystem on my San Jose AWS instance (from Vegas) via WireGuard. Note: That was before CoVid-19. CenturyLink/Quest has since (stealthily) throttled my bandwidth down from 1Gbps to ~750Mbps.
Why is this getting flagged? Are large tech companies now somehow shielded from criticism?
This experience actually sounds both common and unavoidable.
FAANGs have x10 candidates for every position. So the interviews are indeed both difficult and arbitrary. And after a rejection they can always call you after 6 months and restart the whole shtick. So why not. Sigh.
As someone who interviewed 100s of software engineers - its just the system doing its best, and there is usually no bad-intent on either side.
I doubt that it is getting flagged because HN users are so in love with Amazon. More likely because if OP displayed as much of an entitled attitude as they displayed in the submission, they dodged a bullet.
You want to start a discussion about company stated policies and how each person feels they do or do not live up to them? That could go on for quite awhile!
You're either missing the point or strawmanning, I'm not sure which.
In speaking with Congress, they're stating to everyone that they are there to act as a platform for third parties. They're a "pass-thru" service.
That implies that while metadata may be being collected, you shouldn't be looking at it, as it isn't "yours". It would be like a cloud provider going into business undercutting their client's because they weren't savvy enough to encrypt their business records. Or the post office going through your B2B mailings, figuring out your footprint, them becoming a competitor.
You have one job. That's it. Once you start abusing your access to your seller's transaction data to figure out where to or whether to diversify into their vertical, there is a fundamental breach of trust, and a very reasonable case to be made in having exploited something you shouldn't be.
That's the Hobbesian Leviathan for you; you don't need all those little businesses anyway!
I can't as not out there myself, equally you need to factor in cost of living as 40k a year in a city that costs 20k a year to live is worse of than 27k a year in a city that costs 5k to live. Then taxes..... many factors.
Equally, front end and marketing are not my area's.
