This will stop exactly zero criminals who were going to use a 3D printer to print gun parts.

Cool! From HP! The robot only costs $1,500 but a two pack of extra sharpies for it costs $48,000. Before you can use it, you must install 5 petabytes of HP drivers.

"It depends": Beanstalk is a bit like training wheels with regards to auto scaling, load balancing, and high availability. If you/your team are new to those concepts as applied on AWS, then EB can make it a lot faster to get a solid environment up and running.

Downsides are that failing deploys can get wound around the axle pretty easily and you can be sitting around for 30 minutes waiting for everything to go green so you can try again.

Also check out AWS copilot on ECS as another, perhaps more current, form of training wheels.

You might be on to something. I work remote... Already in a small mountain town but in my new-ish neighborhood the houses are crowded together. We've considered buying more remote land but the zoning codes in most CO counties require you to finish a building in 1 year and prohibit RVs until a house is finished (to deter people from doing exactly what we would do: parking an RV on your 10 acres). So: if we could rent a similar setup once in a while for a month or two that would have great appeal. However in my situation I would NOT want other cabins, bathrooms, or firepits any closer than 300 or 400 feet away. If I want to hear my neighbors while i'm coding I can just stay at home.

Overall I think you might be on to something. I have a nice set of bose noise cancelling headphones but I don't like to wear them for the entire day.

My particular challenge: my home office is pretty quiet except when my extremely high-pitched-voice retired lady neighbor is scratching around in her garden while bossing her henpecked husband around. In that case she is just on the other side of my exterior wall and is basically 9 feet away. I've tried to deal with it by putting some small bluetooth speakers against the window but, as you pointed out, that music has to be pretty loud to drown out her whine.

If your solution would help in this scenario you would have a customer!

Good concern. We won't be doing any "hundreds of hours" solution. We've been married over 30 years so we're a pretty good team - naturally I wouldn't do it without both of us thinking it was a great idea.

LOL. Thank you for downvoting that for me. The Internet wouldn't be the Internet if it weren't for asshats!
