EC2 is so much more expensive than a standard VPS from almost any other provider though. If you're not embedded heavily in other AWS products I don't think it's worth bothering with EC2 - LightSail is way more cost effective

My 7a is better than my 6a, but they're both very poor compared to the dedicated scanner on my Pixel 3 (which was also able to be used for actions, like pulling down notification bar). I miss it a lot.

Yes, and that was the only evidence supplied to why they were 'awful'. The post should have been ignored on that basis alone, but because it wasn't its easy to see why GP might have extrapolated their response.

I know this is a bit of a chicken and egg thing because there just aren't that many smaller EVs, but it'd be nice to see more tax credits for smaller, cheaper vehicles. Incentivising the hell out of the low end could make travel s

Think of the "formal project" is the API by which executing the design can be understood by all stakeholders. It is a high level abstraction that allows all parties to understand what they need to do and when they need to do it. F
