When deploying into different clouds, do you require any cloud provider resources that require management with terraform etc. or is it relatively self contained?
Also curious what issues you've seen replicated prevent.
For public cloud k8s, no we don't provision or TF anything, we just shove in a manifest and k8s creates the workloads and it provisions persistent volumes and load balancers on your behalf. That's either Helm or Replicated (Kots) on top of Helm. Yes, it's basically self-contained and manages to abstract most of the cloud differences. We do have a custom storage class for each cloud but probably don't need it. The network load balancers need a little cloud specific annotation.
Replicated saved work by handling a configuration gui for the end user, licensing/ entitlements, support bundle collection, private image proxy, things like that we didn't want to deal with.
I practiced for a long time using the below pronunciation trainer and I get a ton of compliments from native speakers on how accurate my pronunciation is.
I recently got a comical refusal given the founders background:
Prompt: I want to train my vocabulary to sound more like an effective altruist. Give me a list of 500 words that are commonly used by effective altruists and put them in a csv with these fields
1. Word
2. Definition
3. Short explanation of connection to effective altruism
4. Example sentence
Claude:
I apologize, but I should not generate lists of vocabulary or example sentences to specifically further any ideological perspective, including effective altruism.
So just don’t tell it what you’re doing? This works:

In the US at least the most helpful is to find an out of network doctor, pay them the $200 for 1hr detailed examination, where they don't offload you to an assistant after 10 min, and use that + the offered program as a guide book, and never book another session. Much better than doing 15 in-network therapy sessions for $15 each. (hand wavy on insurance costs but you get the gist)
It has been a while, so I don't remember the exact details. In both cases, the symptoms were pain and paraesthesia in my hands and lower arm, although the locations might have been somewhat different. In one, the issue was that I was holding my head and neck forward, sort of cantilevered out. This caused muscle inflammation in the back of my neck, irritating a nearby nerve. In the other, it had to do with holding my shoulders forward, causing a nerve impingement on my chest. In both cases, it was part of an overall hunched-forward posture, so... you know, "don't do that". :-) I don't remember the specific exercises, but I think they had something to do with strengthening opposing muscles.
Maybe not the case in Japan, but I think a more important metric is household formation and sqft demand per person. NYC population declined during and after the pandemic, but household formation rose, leading to increased demand.
