They probably would use replication to a different region/zone and then they implement their own snapshot/backup mechanism on those replica machines so that they can use them to re-create instances when they lose them. Also PostgreSQL ships

It doesn't seem to me that people enjoy pirating or not paying for goods. The ITMS volume or seeing how piracy in US has been declining steadily are good indicators. People go towards piracy when the system doesn't satisfy their requirement

You might be surprised to discover that a 40 year old life is fairly standard in nuclear power plants[1], in fact some countries hope to keep their plants active for closer to 60 years. At close to $7B+ investment in just the building phase

I interpret the "worse than worst case" as "What the designers thought was the worst case in reality was not" so we are now faced with a case that wasn't predicted and the outcome is unknown. I can see the sense, this reactor was designed 5

I agree on the obvious difference in market size between giant planes and smaller ones and that it's an easier investment to make smaller planes rather than big ones. The situation however is not as simple as declaring the end of bigger one

If you want to tune your database to squeeze every single Mhz and MB on your machine then indeed you need to take the time to learn the parameters that PostgreSQL offers you, and it does offer you those parameters, it's an extra compared to
