i didnt know that i really really want this. attach the kindle in soem kind of flexible arm on the headrest and turn the pages with a small remote control.

>Heroku is unbelievably expensive.

only if developer/devops/admin time is free and for most it isnt. if 60 vs 250 /month is a breaking factor for you and your use case: go for it. if you need the software deployed to make real business it just doesnt matter.

for me its just like irc. irc was used to organize tech and gaming communities for years and years and was not really more user friendly or organized.

germany has the same (1 year) but doesnt have a 33 day PTO minimum.

let your company pay for it. they dont need the big office space. thats how we do it.

well its the same in europe but its not that this is happening. the information (IBAN) you need to wire money via SEPA transfer can also be used to fake an automated SEPA debit system for subscriptions.

E V E R Y german company has their SEPA information on almost every piece of writing that leaves the company (in the footer) and thus far i think widespread misuse/fraud is not really a thing.

s3 is also used to deliver ads. so do you block *.amazonaws.com ?

if you look at the numbers raw it might be salary for a week but assuming your developer has stuff on his/her plate and this stuff actually will make you more money in the long run (why would they be employed by you otherwise?) its more than their raw salary and the cost of hardware and rent. opportunity cost.

well they kind of do.

if you are employed and a volunteer firefighter your company has to let you go if an emergency breaks out AND they have to continue paying you. so you keep your normal wages during your service times.

then they can claim (varying in exact detail from state to state) these costs and get money from the goverment

some of the biggest (tickets sold, streams etc) german speaking music acts are rappers

bonus feat for heroku for a lot of teams is that their infrastructure bill comes from exactly ONE provider that includes your appservers, database, caches etc. this eases biling/budget things in some companies by an order of magnitude or two.

my experience is that is very very hard to actually sell "value metric" SaaS products above 500€/month because charging somethign else every month doesnt fit into most (maybe its a german thing?) companies budget calculations. they dont get "maybe 6000 maybe 12000 euros" for a year to run your software they get an exact budget. unless you are directly involved intro their payment/sales funnel and get a percentage of this i doubt this is applicable for typical B2B SaaS yearly pricings.

but thats not even in the same ballpark as heroku or is it? people using heroku dont want to have anything to do with terraform

but isnt that what AWS does with elastic beanstalk? elastic beanstalk always seemed to me as a "heroku with more dials"

you are probably thinking of doubling? like in the chess & rice story? see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sissa_(mythical_brahmin) which leads to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheat_and_chessboard_problem

whatsapp support in native apps is not something that isnt happening because there is no will in teams or companies to do that. its just not possible, there are no APIs. everything you see is a workaround or mashup of the whatsapp web feature

there was a startup for this in germany called shelfsailor they became lagerfinden.com afaik

i think the problem is that the poster could have used the free plan now
