> You'll pay more than the price difference for someone to implement all of that from scratch.

I also think the "pay someone to set this up" factor is underestimated. Person time cost eclipsed computer time cost a long time ago. If you've got the market demand to need that kind of infrastructure, you're almost certainly operating at a scale where you can afford to dish out the extra dough because it will reduce downtime and overhead enough to make the ROI worth it.

I'm not an expert in this (I'm just a code monkey who works with scientists, and side hustles as a small time sysadmin), but reading books like "Release It!" and reading blogs (especially DevOps, as I'm looking at getting into that) gives me the impression that if someone could reduce their costs while still getting the value AWS gives, they'd be doing it. I mean, maybe it's a well-kept secret (especially if it gives a market advantage), but if it's so easy, I'd think everyone would be doing it, and AWS would be out of business.

Edit: I concede that startups probably don't need AWS; what I'm thinking of above is big, old, established companies that believe "no one was ever fired for buying AWS." But I do believe that you have to have smart, motivated people in order to grow while staying lean, and just because we hear the survivor stories of startups that do, doesn't mean there aren't dozens that die because inexperienced devs though they could do better than AWS, and were proven wrong.

- Single-page application frontend written with TypeScript using React, GraphQL (Apollo), and CSS modules.

- API server written with Elixir using Phoenix and Absinthe to serve data to the frontend over GraphQL.

- Postgres database.

We are willing to teach Elixir to candidates with an aptitude for functional programming.

Seems like "laminar flow" would be a possible explanation here...

Fluid flow near surfaces becomes a near zero vector.
Whenever you see a UTC time, the timestamp itself tells you how which "leap second epoch" it falls into (with the exception of instants that fall within the leap second itself). The only extra information you need to correctly do time calculations is the table of leap seconds, and that's a very small amount of mostly-static data that everyone can agree on.

With your proposal, time handling would be slightly simpler, but every geographic coordinate everywhere would need to be tagged with a date to let you know which epoch it was relative to, or else you would get huge (in local terms) errors.

Are companies going to start adjusting salaries for people who move (this makes zero sense to me, the value you add most likely doesn’t change because of where you live)?

That’s where this gets weird... people move to these better-to-live places and then all the employers decides to pay them less because of location.

Then you just push up housing prices with salaries that slowly reset over time to be cost of living adjusted to the area.

One of the first thing I've learned from my father and grand-father while they were driving is to lower the beams for oncoming vehicles, and give a little blink signal to notify incoming vehicle that hasn't lowered it. Like everyone seemed to be following this "standard" (Bulgaria, back in the 80s/90s).

Here (Los Angeles), even in well lit streets, or worse on the freeway, you may see someone with raised high-beams and just don't care. It's particulary bad, if you are in the right-most lane (freeway) that's for more than one passenger in the car.

You're replying to a comment about kids trying to distance learning on their parents phone or without a desk. You're missing the point.
Sidenote, but I find this post maddening to understand, because the author seems to be using the word "e-mail" to mean both "e-mail address" and "e-mail message", and then uses ambiguous pronouns to boot:

> In conclusion, if you only use emails for transactional emails, you might be able to only store hashed versions of them.

HUH?

The most obvious way to interpret this sentence is as storing hashed versions of transaction e-mail messages. Which makes no sense and isn't what the author means, but wow this is some confusing writing.

Gosh, this thread!

Come on nerds- we can do way better than this.
I can't tell if your comment is a particularly rude way of picking the nit that "nothing is free, the cost (e.g., of IAM) is built into other services" or if you really find it absurd that the nominal price of many AWS services is $0 or something else entirely.
A good base search would be "lease vs buy equipment tax benefits" for your country/state/city, just to get your feet wet. There are different incentives for different areas. From there, you should be able to google fu around for more information/tips/tricks. It's slightly not-straightforward stuff, but it's not terribly complicated after a little bit of reading. However, there's a reason why tax code books are so dense. When in doubt, ask someone qualified that's smarter than me, CPA or whatever else accountants get for certs.

Often when one disagrees with positions one also thinks they're lazy and a waste of time to discuss. If somebody in the thread "X is a problem" posts "Why don't we just do Y?" but when you google "X" every article starts with "We can't just do Y, because...," just downvote.

This doesn't mean that doing "Y" isn't the answer, it means that if you're going to bring "Y" up, bring up all of the best arguments against "Y" that you already know first. Otherwise, you're just throwing out a low-effort troll tempting some good neighbor to spend a half-hour crafting an elaborate response for you; one ultimately unnecessary for anyone who has interest enough in the subject to google "X" and read the first hit.

Price is the intersection of supply and demand. A buyer will ask a seller to accept a lower price if they think the seller is willing to accept a lower price. A seller might accept a lower price if they don't think they can get a higher price.

You are paid $X because the buyer couldn't find someone willing to accept $X-1, and you accepted $X because you couldn't find someone to give you $X+1.

Not really. Up until this morning, my comment had a positive number of votes; it is now very gray. It was not an ad hominem attack. It was a critique of the author's value more than his proposed policies, but I certainly read the article.
Even just a very thin encryption layer would probably do a decent job. Attackers are typically going at it from an infrastructure perspective: they make a hole, poke around for basic configuration info, locate the database, and siphon it out. They may or may not have enough time and knowledge to reverse-engineer a basic column-specific symmetric scheme.

The only drawback is that such scheme must then be made available to any system that consumes the database, possibly from multiple languages.

A contract without consideration is not a valid contract. There are a few laws in some places that require companies to provide service outside of a contractual service agreement, but those are typically limited to public utilities, emergency services, etc.
I can see how it's legitimate to take down a repository with the sole, explicit goal of downloading copyrighted content, but youtube-dl is widely used by journalists to preserve uncopyrighted content.

Youtube-dl is used by some journalists. Generally, most journalists at a real newspaper or media organization would ask for the original video, not a copy from youtube.

Even your local evening news will use the original video unless they are specifically discussing the online version of the video, in which case they will either record footage of the screen using one of the hundreds of cameras they have lying around or just share their screen view directly.

The only time journalists use youtube-dl for reporting is when it is not possible to get a copy of the original.
OK, but rayiner's comment was about fixing societies and economies. If you want independence for independence, fine, I've got no problem with that. I merely hope that you either succeed or fail as peacefully as possible.
