We found on several occasions that some shady retailers would find the CIDR of the manufacturers corp networks and comply with the MAP policies on pricing if traffic came from them. Then when our bot went through with obviously generic AWS / Proxy ips we would see a much lower price that broke their agreement. That one was a fun realization for the manufacturers as to the level of shadiness some retailers would go through.
However you likely wont be able to because not enough people agree with you to do so. Our constitution was made to be specifically hard to change unless a vast majority agreed. That's a feature, not a bug. If a change can't be agreed upon at the national level it should stay at the state / local level.
> It should, however, cause people who voted for this (hypothetically dead or disabled or otherwise incapacitated) politician to see themselves as the piles of shit they are.
Case in point, it protects us from reactionary changes based on vitriol like this instead of substance.
A prime example is the environmental impact stuff. They have already done that multiple times. Nothing really changed. If it succeed and doesn't blow up the impact is X, if it blows up the impact is Y. Yet these approvals take weeks and months.
There are also multiple agencies that put their foot down. Famously fish and wildlife was worried starship would crash in the water and hit a shark/whale. No seriously. https://youtu.be/kS8G5D9fg3g?t=21
Then there is the story that at Vandenburg air base, they had to strap a seal to a board and play rocket noises through headphones to see if it was distressed. Keep in mind Vandenburg has been a military rocket launch site for decades. But only now when its SpaceX do these agencies put up road blocks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SvJP5wfN4k
Laravel Forge - Deploys a VPS on your own AWS/DigitalOcean/Hetzner/etc - https://forge.laravel.com/
Laravel Vapor - Deploys a serverless function on your AWS account to run your app/cron/queues https://vapor.laravel.com
Laravel Cloud - Differs because it doesn't run on your infrastructure, so less time to setup/configure.
If we want to get serious about ramping up domestically produced chips for critical applications, we need to cut that crap out and focus on efficiency and quality.
Why would any athlete or group want to risk the chance of not being able to sleep well if they are too hot.
I have found the same to be true with SiriusXM radio as well. You can ask the chat bot to cancel your account when a promo runs out and it will take you back down from $19/mo to like $6/mo. I setup a calendar item so I know when the promo is going to expire and do this. It's a PITA but it only takes 5 minutes.
