Hosting video is exactly elastic demand and a perfect use case for cloud computing. But not every business hosts video.

I’ve worked with companies that are moving at least some of their infrastructure back on premises.

There’s tons of good reasons to use IAAS, but there’s also a reason folks joke about the cost of aws.

Cloud computing CAN be cheaper but it can also be way more expensive. It is not a panacea.

It’s cheaper for companies that have unpredictable traffic/capacity. It lets you scale up/down without having build out physically.

For businesses with steady, predictable traffic it can be far more expensive. You buy the servers, you own them. They can run for years.

Cloud can get pricey veeeery quickly.

Back when there were "mom and pop" AirBnb, maybe this was a bad thing. Now, a huge number of rentals are owned by companies with big portfolios specializing in short term rentals.

It's become a really big problem in certain cities.

I don't see this as a bad thing.

As Ann Richards so succinctly put it: born on 3rd base, thought he hit a triple.

They could, but they won't.

Finland has a history of fascism.

Many countries worried about declining populations could just.. allow more immigrants. But most of them won't, at least not voluntarily.

Born in the Middle East, my dad was brown. I look like him but got my anglo mom’s white skin. We fled during the war and came to the USA.

A liberal friend called me “white passing”. I wish someone would have told the kids in school that they can’t call me rag head, camel jockey, sand n***er because I’m white passing see?

I wish we could stop seeing memes about a fascist.

The US is going to experience massive brain drain in the next few years.

Welcome to being a 3rd world country y’all.

That’s me! I experience thought in pictures (opposite of the post) and emotions.

I have to translate into words for external /internal speech. One of the reasons I often “monologue out loud” much to my spouses chagrin.
