True - not wiped out. Just a bit lost as to what is the advantage of using one of the smaller companies' premium products vs AWS/GCP managed versions, and how sustainable that advantage is. I'll update the question.
In the times we are in, one cannot separate politics from tech, have to really reconsider whether to continue using HN since I strongly believe we in the tech community should have more not less discussion about such issues.
Why can't HN be a place were we nerd out over new frameworks but engage in partisan political discussion over the impact of what we build?

This article posted is immensely relevant for the intersection
of tech and political discourse, and in such cases, I would personally prefer to see more discussion on HN.
If the article is about new advances in Golang, sure, I'd hate to see talk of politics in threads.
Just a clear example of someone not having good intentions in their actions.
How can one have good intentions serving a very diverse audience on their global platform when they congratulate someone blatantly full of hate for so many broad categories of humans?
let me rephrase: give me one good use where the majority of potential users would be OK with storing timestamped documents on a system not maintained by a trusted organization.
I guess my point was more that any application on such technology would need a trusted organization to maintain the blockchain to gain the trust of the users.
I wouldn’t want, eg my health records stored on a system that isn’t trusted. This is one often cited application of blockchain.
No meetings, no politics? Lots a dev jobs have both don’t they, especially as you become more senior and/or want to drive change in how things are done.
MIT Tech Review, which keeps me up to date with a whole spectrum of advances and trends in tech, and The Atlantic for politics — most if not all The Atlantic is free online, but it’s dirt cheap to get the physical copy and I’m more likely to read the longer articles with the physical copy.
The multiple device part seems tricky to improve on. I don't see how this approach can be tweaked to make it easy for non-technical people to access on multiple devices.
It seems like you have to define a new device on a existing logged in device before using the new device. Is there a way around that? If I want to log into an app for the first time at work and forgot to define a new device name at home where I already can log in, I wouldn't be able to do so from what I understand.
Why is this article with this click-bait title on the top of HN? A lot of leaders start off as engineers then go to CTOs, VP level, CEOs etc.
And this idea that engineers are purely scientifically minded totally ignores the endless number of articles suggesting that the best senior engineers have strong product and business sense, and in many places (but not all) having those skills are a defining quality of a senior engineer.
Engineers definitely NEED scientific background to enter the field, but this totally ignores that engineers grow business and product skills throughout their career, and need to do so to be effective
Another chapter in the super interesting story of the GM vs Tesla battle. Part of me wants to compare Tesla to strategies of companies who needed more established companies to compete with to generate higher demand, yet still had the best product and came out ahead.
But wonder if GM could pull ahead since it has more of a history of mass producing things, and all the infrastructure around that all built. Time will tell.
