    Thanks for the comparison against 23 and me but I’d be interested in how you plan to differ from Invitae/Fulgent/Myraid aside from the D2C aspects.

    Don’t mind flexible expenses when it comes to traveling. But this is a great way to open your firm up to bribery or other regulatory risk.

    I got downvoted to oblivion for reporting a bug to them, with several SO devs trying to explain it’s not a bug, this doesn’t surprise me.

    How well would this work with something like airflow ? If I have jobs that run only end of day for an hour on airflow, I pay just for an hour of the database ?

    Did they control for food taste and preferences ? It could simply be the processed food happened to taste better as well. Not sure if pleasantness and familiarity cover that.

    There are a few vendors built on top of multiple cloud vendors however they themselves become the lock in, zeit or Joyent are good examples of this.
