There are a lot of variables, but unless the 50% savings isn't much more than enough to hire a very good ops team, then no, I can't imagine that is enough savings to make the trade-off worth it.

As someone with four children who lived most of their early lives a thousand miles away from any established support network, I didn't find this to be true. On the contrary, the marginal cost of each child decreased with increased help

I don't have a study, but an anecdote: for the last 18 months or so, I've worked 32 hours a week. Originally, I thought I would work 4x8, but as time went on, I really enjoy working 5 or 6 or 7 hours a day, depending on my desire

The language itself isn't great, but the tooling it (appears to) necessitate and the fact that the browser isn't a great environment for what many people want to do combine to turn many people off.

I don't quite follow the second paragraph. You say > The problem with SQL's NULL are its properties (comparison and arithmetic in particular) [...] Which I follow, then you say that those unfortunate properties don't appl

I'm sure they know a lot more about language design than I do, but the use of what is essentially SQL's NULL for boolean false doesn't feel like a good idea at first blush.

Here's a cost calculator: https://calculator.aws/#/addService/RDSPostgreSQL My rule of thumb is about $1,000 per month for a reasonably large DB in RDS.

I also dislike "ID" vs "id" (as short for "identity"), but there is some case for it. The below are from Webster's Third New International Dictionary Unabridged. First, the case for "id":

I think I am in total agreement with your comment and I have another angle to add for your consideration: Assume someone wanted to sell highly sought-after tickets for less than the market clearing (profit maximizing) price—as you suggest.

> polluting non-local effects I agree that these exist. I do not believe that they are as significant as the general public believes. After all, there have been more than 500 nuclear weapons detonated world-wide in the open atmosphere.

Why do you think it would escalate? Do you have a crystal ball? I don't know anything about anything, but there have been many regional conflicts over the last 100 years that have remained regional. I don't see how the technology

I don't understand, but would like to. What about that "perk" resonated poorly with you? (I mean, it's kind of thin for a perk, but some places do mandate tooling, so saying that you don't seems reasonable.)
