I had the same problem, but it was because one of my privacy extensions had disabled WebRTC.

However, I think it solves a different problem. It's a geopolitical problem. Blockchain technology provide a bulletproof (so far) way of exchanging value across borders without having to trust any middlemen.
There's a quote, I believe by Erik Voorhees, saying roughly: "Bitcoin is separation of money and state".
I find it slightly reassuring that someone is actually working on a language/compiler with PaaS features built in. I'd thought of doing that and jotted it down in my notebook.. assuming it was just a crazy idea.
When do you plan to release an alpha version? I'd be interested in seeing it!
On a side note: none of this is really passive.. mining, real estate, and drop-shipping are all very active income streams. Unless you were born with a silver spoon, you probably won't find truly passive income.
In that world, I can also imagine people modding their autonomous cars in ways which would still violate traffic laws.
Agreed. Members of my mother's side are especially known to be "worriers". Sporadic levels of anxiety on my father's as well.

Via therapy, I've discovered my own version of this, mostly around breathing. I tend to hold my breath as I start to go into my head. If I catch myself doing this, I can sometimes reduce most of the physical effects by focusing on breathing again. It's easier said than done.

I wonder this too. I've been using AWS for 4+ years at my day job(s). The main pain point for almost all users, including myself is the cost. I think a product/tool that helps companies save on cloud costs would be invaluable. The difficulty is convincing crusty old ops people that the product is something worth trying.
Anyway, after my current employer runs out of money, I'm going to do a startup of some sort. While one of my many idea was like the one we outlined above, I'm actually starting to shy away from the infra/op verticals lately.
My email's in my profile, if you ever want to bounce ideas.
This sounds very similar to some ideas I've been stewing on over the past few months. One of them being a multi-cloud terraform-like tool which abstracts away the low level details of which provider an instance is provisioned onto (whichever is currently cheapest). It could also automatically determine how firewall/security groups/networking should be configured.
If you happen to create two instances in two different providers that need to communicate privately over say port 443, the security groups would be updated automatically to account for this, bridging the two providers.
One major thing to consider in doing this is the bandwidth. If you look at the fine print in these providers, the outgoing bandwidth is where they really get you. So if your backup server is in a different provider than your database, you might see some hefty data transfer fees while performing a daily backup.
Just curious, what's your background? Are you an infrastructure type, or are you a general developer who just wants a tool like you've described? Sometimes I can't tell if this is something people really want or if I've just drank too much of the infrastructure automation koolaid.
Does it get much interest from others, or are you the main user?
I have no reason to think it's unacceptable, was just curious. Interesting project!
