Samsung TV starts playing ads if it feels you are idle so i don't connect it to internet directly so use a fire stick. I once connected tv to internet to update some firmware but disconnected the same day because of ads.
There are also concerns about control, in Texas there were people who signed something that allowed the companies to remotely control their ac, apparently at night time it was turned up to 82, I am worried about what other companies could do like smart washer ( how about allowed to wash cloths only after 10 pm ) or not allowed to use some setting like extra wash etc.
What would happen if your account gets locked and you cannot access your smart stove to cook a meal. All those people who posted that their oculus was locked out because their FB account go locked out. In my opinion most of these smart appliances are more of a hassle than worth it.
Snowflake separates compute and data storage which allows you to add more compute during busy times and switch to a lower compute during off peak times. It is also considered to be a data warehouse that is not from a cloud provider(even thought it uses AWS underneath and managed by snowflake).
The company i work for use snowflake. Just like any cloud platform, you can run up the tab if wrongly configured and not optimized.
I did contracting for a while, I bought insurance with dental in 2010. It cost me about $120 a month and was comparable to my work. I did some contracting around 2015 and i bought insurance, I was paying $400 with barely any coverage. In my 2010 plan i had no concept of co-insurance, in my 2015 i also have co-insurance, also heard from my friend that when his wife had a baby, they had several doctors half in-network and half out to max out his deductible. He said same hospital for his first kid cost him around $400, second kid at 2017 cost him $4500.
