They're both forms (perfect passive particle in particular) of the latin verb "video". So they both mean "having been seen". The difference is in gender. visa = feminine; visum = neuter; visus = masculine.

They came in at #13 on that list. While traffic's bad in Boston, commuting via public transit is actually a viable alternative. It's very dense and has a solid commuter rail system in addition to an expansive (if aging) subway system. It's also very bike / pedestrian friendly.
Heh, as someone who came very close to doing this (i.e. using k8s for a LAMP-stack type app at a startup), it's not just "shiny object syndrome" driving people to do this. Here's what our progression looked like:
1. Start with basic LAMP app in git that's manually deployed to an EC2 instance
2. Add in CI / CD + CodeDeploy
3. Create a staging environment
4. Dockerize local environment to keep dev environments in sync and onboard easier (really, this part's a gamechanger for a small company)
5. Ok so now we have Docker for local dev environments but stage and prod are managed separately. Can we just run our Docker containers in stage / production?
When I researched step 5, the options were basically k8s or Docker swarm but Docker swarm didn't seem battle tested (for prod). k8s was clearly a nightmare for a small team to maintain so we started looking into GKE / EKS -- but EKS was still in beta. Thus we punted. We've actually started using ECS for a newer project and I'd likely go that route for step 5 instead.
Yes, retargeting and tracking is extremely effective.
You've fallen into what I'm gonna call the "HN fallacy".
- I would never click on an ad, therefore no one clicks on ads.
- I don't have a need for a better file syncing UX, therefore no one would ever use Dropbox.
- I don't see the point in crypto, therefore no one would ever use Coinbase.
Specifically, let's say you've seen 100,000 ads in your lifetime and literally zero have had any impact on you, much less driven you to click through and purchase immediately. It's reasonable for you to question the utility of these ads.
There are, however, entire populations of users whose behavior is vastly different from yours. They may be very willing to click through an ad to purchase.
A good marketer will only target their ads at the people most likely to purchase (i.e. not you). This puts you on a negative feedback cycle where you only get ads from companies that are spray-and-praying or too unsophisticated to target their ads more specifically.
Chicago's a very nice city. There are basically three main factors keeping the cost low currently:
1. Population decline.
2. A very large amount of good housing stock. Chicago's completely flat with solid public transit reaching out to the suburbs.
3. Lower proportion of tech and startups. Similar to how tech has driven up the CoL in many cities, the relative lack of tech in Chicago has kept CoL down.
Winter is rough in Chicago, but the CoL in Boston has skyrocketed which invalidates that as being the _only_ reason.
