FWIW Vanguard has a 0.3% AUM option here in the US now. I assume their Canadian counterpart offers something similar?

These days the risk of an accidental wipe seems so trivial to me, since every app (photos, music, notes, docs, podcasts etc) I use is of the local-sync-backed-by-cloud variety. So I guess I can understand not trusting the IT department but

One reason I can think of is this is written in Go while the official AWS CLI tools are written in Python (and some of the older ones are Java, which is often a terrible choice for CLIs given the startup time). A Go CLI tool has some deploy

I'm kind of curious why there aren't wrappers / APIs / libraries for these other query languages that convert them to SQL at execution time. Arguably that is what LINQ is anyway.. Perhaps these options exist and I'v

I've heard this burst-to-cloud story for many years now - Paul Maritz pitched it heavily as the pillar of VMware's value/strategy when he took over there. I've yet to ever see or hear of it properly executed in practice.
