I have (and still use) a 2019 mbp and it has had CPU thermal throttling issues since very early after I bought it new. Intel macs from that year were notorious for thermal throttling.

I hope this doesn't come across as toxic/negative, because I sincerely mean it to be constructive criticism. I clicked the link and left almost immediately for 2 reasons:

1. For something like this, I'd expect to see a demo video, preferably created by the tool, on the landing page.

2. Keeping #1 in mind, asking for my phone number sends up red flags, and I'm out.

Thank you! I'm working on a SAAS app for a niche industry and I keep putting things off because I'm a perfectionist, but I need to just launch the damn thing and perfect it later!

Amazon isn't the only company using USPS this way. It might be worthy of investigation, but Trump's motive here is to get back at Bezos for things that The Washington Post publishes. The president using the power of the executive branch to fight personal political enemies is never the right thing to do.

Equally ironic: kowtowing to the wealthy has been the republican rhetoric for as long as I can remember.

There's no question that Trump's motive here is to get back at Bezos for things that The Washington Post publishes. You're arguing in favor of a president using the power of the executive branch to punish a political foe. Do you really think that this is ok? Does the fact that Democrats are usually the ones complaining about the wealthy make you feel better about this?

It might be more expensive with this apples-to-apples comparison, but do you have any idea what the actual utilization of your linode server looks like? Unless that server is under heavy load most of the time, you would probably be much better off with a couple of smaller instances behind a load balancer. Add in auto-scaling to handle peak loads. This may still be more expensive, but now your website is much more reliable than running on a single server.

One other thing to consider: You can host static websites on S3.

Keep at it! All of that goes away and you'll have energy and clarity like you wouldn't believe.

With gmail you can use periods in the email address and gmail will ignore them. i.e. [email protected] is the same as [email protected] or even [email protected].

You know, this is something that could be built as a "serverless" app for almost no cost using AWS services like SES, S3, Lambda, and DynamoDB. I'm sure that the VPS doesn't cost much, but it's a cost whether anyone is visiting the site or not.

Edit: Didn't mean to sound negative, so I hope it doesn't come across that way. Good job on building something! I've been struggling with that myself and these types of posts motivate me to just build something.

I can't speak to why it wasn't invented sooner, but I do think that the biggest reason that they've taken off (pun?) is that they are much easier to fly and much more stable than a helicopter. The fact that many of them now have cameras attached to them that offer professional-quality photos and videos, along with the ability to get a live feed while in-flight, is definitely making them more and more popular every day.

I noticed the google.tw from AWS instances that are hosted in the US. Seemed odd to me at the time, but it's even more odd that it's the same on workspace instances too.
