I'd imagine that airlines tend to give out free checked bags on these flights also changes the calculus.

Interestingly, I think we're seeing less people grow up with general purpose computers, and instead just have an iPad or an android tablet, or a chromebook.

I wonder what things will look in 20 years.

Not the OP, but the people I've seen this do it DIY have all done it with Ubiquiti products. A single link can get a mile of range with clear LoS. Depending on how far out you are, that lets you connect to a "real" internet connection for cheap.

One thing you may encounter is that a large company may be using it for many things internally, and that still shows up as just a handful of clones, because they have some central artifact caching service in place.

Essentially this is a way to lets you push all of the weird feature requests your customers might have off into one place.

From a customer point of view, maybe you need to rewrite the path based on the contents of a cookie, or maybe you want to shed certain types of requests in high load scenarios, or maybe there's a buggy upstream application that sends bad cache-control headers, or ...

If the goal is to let the customer specify infinitely complex logic at the edge, a programming language is a good way to do that. Function As A Service is a good billing model for lots of invocations of short, small functions across the customers choice of language.

I had written it this way because the OP had specifically ruled out using Django. Point taken though.

Why not start out by using the Django Admin features?

That allows you to start with next to no code, but you can easily add a little business logic anywhere you need it eventually, and it provides a way to long term transition to a true application if the need arises.

Almost every ad network does give you some type of API like what you're talking about, but unfortunately they usually actively discourage use of it.

Facebook will be pitching to your Marketing folks that's exactly where you need it.

Facebook want data on what actions users took before signing up, which users actually signed up and started paying, and how that relates to revenue. This UI is exactly where they can determine these types of actions.

Whether this actually makes Facebook better at marketing or not is a good question.

At my job, we evaluated moving from AWS hosted ES to several of the Elastic offerings. Many of them were more expensive than AWS was before taking hardware into account (as in comparing cost of Elastic licensing vs the whole cost from AWS). This made it exceedingly difficult to justify the move. It's not only the headstart with the client (billing relationship in place), but the cost that hampers them.

If dollars have no value, you should be willing to give away any dollars you have to anyone, no matter how they are using them, right?

Dollars don't have a direct value in gold, but there are people willing to take your dollars and exchange them for gold, it's just a ratio that varies over time, along with the value of gold and dollars.

Those types of errors are usually pretty easy for humans to find and fix.

I (sort of) work in the advertising industry. I'm really excited to see this change, but the major players in the industry just weren't ready for it, and it would have been very chaotic with lots of money on the line.

I think waiting until early 2021 is better than having anything that depends on ad revenue see a huge dropoff until the industry figures things out.

If the problem is that there aren't enough acceptable quality housing with good public transit access, it seems like building more transportation and housing would be a good solution rather than building similarly expensive suburban sprawl.
