absolutely. and now look at the inflation and fed rate of late 70s and 80s. we have not yet won the inflation war and fed has already paused the rate lowering cycle. so if we need to increase the rate higher to bring inflation down to 2%, imagine the % of debt payment as part of revenue; in 70s/early 80s, the fed rate was as high as 15% compared to 4-5% now.

To understand the scale at which we have printed money, analyze the fed balance sheet https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/bst_recenttren...

depends on the mortgage if it is fixed or variable.

have a look at this: https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/interest-payments...

it is like borrowing at higher rate than the rate at which are are growing our income.

I don't understand why didn't Yahoo fail due to SPF check failure.

one of my greatest learnings in life is to differentiate between facts and opinions- sometimes opinions are presented as facts and vice-versa. if you think about it- the statement "this is false" is a response to an opinion (presented as a fact) but not a fact. there is no way one can objectively define and defend what does "real technical understanding" means. the cloud space is vast with millions of people having varied understanding and thus opinions.

so let's not fight the battle that will never be won. there is no point in convincing pro-cloud people that cloud isn't the right choice and vice-versa. let people share stories where it made sense and where it didn't.

as someone who has lived in cloud security space since 2009 (and was founder of redlock - one of the first CSPMs), in my opinion, there is no doubt that AWS is indeed superiorly designed than most corp. networks- but is that you really need? if you run entire corp and LOB apps on aws but have poor security practices, will it be right decision? what if you have the best security engineers in the world but they are best at Cisco type of security - configuring VLANS and managing endpoints but are not good at detecting someone using IMDSv1 in ec2 exposed to the internet and running a vulnerable (to csrf) app?

when the scope of discussion is as vast as cloud vs on-prem, imo, it is a bad idea to make absolute statements.

Whenever time permits, I have a (bad) habit of viewing source code of new website. In this case, I found this on this website: (haven't read the js yet to see what's the true intent but surely a sign of horrible engineering)

edit- seems like remix customizations.
