I'm glad you didn't announce this last week. Then it would have been AWS articles only!

Before the rise of the Internet, traditional media like magazines and newspapers got the majority of their revenue from advertising. It's nice when people pay money to subscribe but it wasn't enough then. It's probably not enough now.

So I suppose this means storing data in Postgres RDS is HIPAA compliant now by default? I am not an expert in this, but I do have to sit through a day of training every year for this.

You should probably be doing a bunch of other things to be HIPAA compliant in AWS, it's not just a box you check off.

In the past you could be HIPAA compliant and use Postgresql RDS by signing a business associate agreement and doing things like using dedicated instances in their own VPC.

I believe it was already HIPAA compliant (or else I need to go into hiding).

The path to HIPAA compliance in AWS is just arrange to get a business agreement with Amazon.

I have read that unreinforced concrete structures can stand for thousands of years, which you confirm just by noting some Roman structures still standing.

You can build much higher and bigger with reinforced concrete, but they will only be up for at most many decades, because steel always rusts.
