Additionally, PCM [2] is at the heart of many of these tools, and is what is converted between digital and analog for real-world use cases.
This is literally how the ear works [3], so before arguing that this is the "worst possible representation of signal state," try listening to the sounds around you and think about how it is that you can perceive them.

1. How much do they charge?
I'm genuinely curious. I don't self host, but use a 3rd party (fastmail). I send very few emails to people I don't know, so personally, I don't run into issues with having my email sent to spam.
2. I don't think paying in itself is the real problem. I think it's more a matter of who you pay and why you pay.
- You have to pay to register a domain name. - You have to pay to host your own server (whether your using a hosting service or hosting from your basement) - You have to pay to have gmail not mark your email as spam - ok, I'll admit, this is a little silly, but you also have to pay (via a stamp) to have USPS send letters to their recipient
3. Perhaps because so many people use and trust (whether they should or not is another question) gmail, it makes sense to pay in some scenarios? But obviously, for personal mail servers, I agree, asking to pay to play is a bit of a stretch.

You may not end up where you set out to go, but at least you enjoyed the ride and learned something new!

> Note that you took on a lot of “tech debt” earlier when you started dumping the production database tables straight into the data warehouse.
How do you manage expectations when the year-long honeymoon is over, the business grows tremendously, and the centralized data warehouse reaches a breaking point?
