Re: Unlike Aurora
Quite. At least if you migrate to SQL Server in Azure you can always bring it back on prem. If you migrate to GCS or AWS databases you are stuck there.

The UK would be quite happy with a hard border between Northern and Southern Ireland but the exiating agreements with the Feniens makes that politically tricky.
Much better to leave the EU with no deal and have Southern Ireland be forced to implement a hard border by the EU and have it be someone else's problem.
"there is no legal basis for a 'No Deal' exit'
You clearly don't understand the situation. The UK already invoked article 50. The default position is that we leave with no deal on Oct 31st. No further legislation is required for that to happen.
And as any EU extension requires unanimous EU agreement from the other 27 states, that's not likely to stop it.
I think you will find that traffic will increase if only to bypass EU regulations.
This and numerous other reasons such as a predicted 50% loss of car German car sales to its largest and most profitable market with a consequential loss of 100,000 jobs alone whilst the German economy is already technically in recession is why the EU is now crapping itself at the real possibility of a no deal Brexit and the "take it or leave it Brexit deal" is suddenly negotiable again.
But we all tested that Microsoft patch before deploying it, right?
I give Microsoft the benefit of the doubt in this case that best to get a patch out for an actively exploited issue versus delaying it for a full integration testing cycle.
However Microsoft's QA for OS patches really seems to suck these days. Interesting insider view of why here:

The Windows 10 insider builds do include a "feedback hub" app to report bugs in the start menu, but it's non obvious, not on the desktop and unless you bother to search for how to report a bug you would probably never be aware of it.
I think if Microsoft added a one screen summary of how to report bugs on the insider build signup process and added some incentive for valid bugs such as Microsoft points or account credits this would cost them peanuts but massively improve the level of customer feedback.
A couple of things? SQL Server is more advanced in every aspect and has hundreds of features that Postgresql doesn't. Not to mention that SQL Server is many times faster than Postgresql in typical use.
Postgresql is OK only for something where you don't need an enterprise grade solution and support. You get what you pay for.
Not too hard for many contract positions. They will just rewrite the job spec to fit the candidate they want a work permit for.
Let's not forget that English is the international language of business, navigation and diplomacy. Brits don't need to bother learning another language.
No they haven't. They passed a law saying that the PM must ask for an extension instead of no deal. Which would likely be refused and which Boris will likely just ignore.
The remoaner idiots are just making our renegotiating position weaker. The EU already went from "take it or leave it" to discussing other possible options solely due to the threat of no deal. The mainland European economy is rapidly circling the pan, and the last thing they want is to loose free access to UK markets.
The result of the referendum needs to be implemented ASAP.
Not correct. The GDPR applies globally to the information of EU citizens and US based websites most certainly are in scope and liable to fines.
For which most corporations of note would have EU assets or income or failing that company officers could be arrested on visting the EU.
That was because of Qualcomm's patents. Just like they went for HDR instead of DAB or NTSC instead of PAL. Or Never Twice the Same Colour as we used to call it when I was at the BBC...
The US has long been a regime where money Trumps real democracy. Just consider that the Koch brothers and associated groups alone spent over 400 million dollars just on the last midterms. And if not clear why / how that is possible, watch the documentary "Dark Money".
"to the supposed security threat posed by Huawei."
But threat is real! We might all be able to use firmware without US government mandated backdoors (see Wikileaks for example). And of course that's a massive threat to say the US sponsored ten trillion dollars a year fossil fuel industry just for instance.
