Lauren - really nice essay on trust and "cloud". Hear, hear. "trust"
does "make the world go round". And yes, we end up needing to trust
someone - because /not/ trusting is a failure mode.
The questions ought to be "why trust?" and "trust whom?" And these are
HARD questions.
Trivializing the answers is not the answer. As our banker friends say:
"if you don't know who the counterparty is, it's you." Or as the joker
says: "if you don't get the joke, the joke's on you." Figure it out.
[ David, thanks very much. And I agree, these are complex issues
with many factors to consider. Attempts to trivialize them
should always be suspect.
