Many engineers discover a need of rate limiters the hard way :-). I just wonder, do you use rate limiters just for external API or also for internal API of your microservices?

Maybe we should think outside of the box. What if, aircraft doesn't need to store all of the required energy on-board? E.g. transmit energy wirelessly through microwave and just have enough fuel for emergencies.

I appreciate Y Combinator at grabbing ppl attention. We need to do more of this ambitious projects. However, I'm rather disappointed lack of even fundamental technical vision. I get that if you shoot to fly in a decade you can optimist

I once won $100 from their competition, but never figured out how they are going to be profitable. Independent mobile app search makes little sense when there are two App Stores (Android and App Store) with builtin search.

This help my life a lot. Buying RIs monthly give us a huge savings, but was a huge headache. First with Regional RIs I no longer have to worry about AZ and modifying RIs, now I don't worry about RI modification to have right size.

CubeSats came a long way from being a hitchhiker to main payload to significant percentage of total payload. The question is when, CubeSats will be the primary payload.

My guess there is quite a lot of this low-hanging fruit improvements. Electric cars its a young technology than can go through tons of incremental changes that will add up. E.g. compare gas cars over decades. There were tons of improvements

You should have at least 18 months savings of your expenses + expected business costs. That's least runaway you need to get ramen-profitable if you do it alone and not planning on raising any money. If not do, do some freelancing, part

I believe convenience may be a huge argument for a lot of ppl. Paying to new provider takes a lot of resources, while using yet another AWS like api is easier.

Some price estimates: (very crude, but shows magnitude of price) Rail is 4 times more expensive than by sea. Air is at least 6 times more expensive than rail, but can be even 18 times more expensive if payload is heavy. Cost of shipping 40′
