Ask HN: Why do AWS, Azure, and GCP charge so much for outbound data transfer?
Some cloud providers seem to be able to offer a much better deal i.e https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing/whats the logic behind their data pricing structure?

Re:PM Carney declares U.S. ties now a 'weakness' in address to Canadians

As a Canadian I am afraid that the more bad behavior the USA exhibits on the world stage, the easier it becomes to scapegoat and not look within at our own problems.
It was maybe 15ish years ago when Blackberry was at its peak. A world with such a dominant tech company in Canada today seems comically impossible

As a Canadian who moved to the US for tech, I strongly advocate for any young Canadian with capable means who is reading this to leave Canada.
An already broken system is being stacked against you
Housing prices are more expensive in Canada. Health care systems are crumbling within Canada. Wages are lower in Canada. General cost of living is more expensive in Canada
I was frankly shocked after a lifetime of watching CBC just how much my quality of life improved by moving to the USA.

Something about the entire covid-19/WFH situation makes me feel as if this time may be different
Ask HN: If you had to choose a place to start a startup today where would it be?
Does startup location matter as much anymore?For years yc has touted that it was critical to be located in silicon valley but things seem to be changing.Still the biggest tech companies seem to be located in the U.S.A and more specifically the valley, will that change in the next 10 years?

Intresting, do you mind me asking what age you are at that made you feel like you need that large of a bank roll first?
Ask HN: How much savings did you have before starting your startup?
As a Canadian developer I look on at Silicon Valley software dev salaries with awe.Currently have 60k in savings, with the strong urge to start a company. Some part of me feels like the most logical path would be to secure a larger safety net by working in the USA, before taking on bigger risks.How large of a safety net did you have before beginning your startup journey?
