This is the equivalent of having the previous 50GB base plan and going over by $50 worth of data (an additional 50GB). If you were routinely going 50GB over the 50GB plan, I'd suggest that maybe a 50GB plan wasn't the right plan

You probably shouldn’t be coming to HN for legal advice, which is what you need. In any case, you’ll need to dissolve the Delaware Corp in Delaware and unregister(?) the California foreign Corp. registration. You almost certainly owe taxes

This doesn't sound unreasonable to me, especially as a solo developer. I think it's important to make sure your customers understand that they may not be able to download their installer in the future. Perhaps sending an email re

Even if you don’t have a static IP, you can probably restrict to a /24 subnet or maybe /16. Additionally, you can ensure password access is disabled and use ssh keys along with 2FA.

No, there's more than enough noise to cause permanent hearing damage. Obviously higher speeds=higher wind noise; you might be fine < 35mph (~ 55kmh) in a city, but anything above that hearing protection is advisable. "Measureme

Another likely reason is that balloon framing makes use of single studs that extend the height of the structure, with the 2nd floor suspended. The nature of available framing lumber has shifted and it would be likely much more expensive an
