Well said! I agree 100%. When we look back to the Founders this is what we're talking about. A multi-layered Federal Republic without strong centralization. Centralization is what Progressives have been pushing on us bit by bit for 100 years and look at the mess we're in now. Every regime change in the Whitehouse pisses off 50% of the country. We're a large country with 50 independent states of differing geographies and political philosophies that s/b largely governing themselves. We're not a small country like Sweden. Why can't we have progressive states like CA and conservative states like TX. If CA wants healthcare they can implement it themselves and if TX doesn't then they don't have to do it for themselves. CA is the 5th largest economy in the world on their own. They dont need DC. I'm a conservative who crossed the border from MA into the Live Free or Die state of NH. Why do Progressives want to hammer a one size fits all solution down to all states from DC and ruin our freedoms like that?

It's not surprising that a career politician doesn't know anything about programming or coal mining.

I think for a lot of conservatives, more than the cost, is the philosophical question of whether the Fed Govt should be involved in social welfare programs like healthcare. The original role of the Fed Govt was foreign policy and the economy in a republic of strong states. The country is pretty well split between conservatives and progressives and a one size solution for all 50 states is always going to piss off 50% of the country. Why not look to your state for Healthcare? When a Democrat was in the Whitehouse, Texas talked about secession and now that a Republican is in the whitehouse California was talking the same thing. The thing is why does CA evern care about the whitehouse. It's the 5th largest economy in the world. If it wants healthcare for it's people then go right ahead and leave the rest of us out of it. Massachusetts offered healthcare to it's citizens under Romney before Obamacare and people who were opposed to that in MA were free to cross the border into NH, a libertarian state.

What are their data sources? How reliable is it? How do they keep it fresh? No mention.

How's the audio in terms of music through ear buds or car speakers? I know it won't compare to my HTC One but wondering how much of a dropoff.

Here's an interview with the founders of StatusPage.io and about how they built it. You might find it interesting. In the end they stuck with what they knew - Rails.
