NewRelic is much more comprehensive (they also have a "profiling" feature), but you rarely, if ever, find yourself needing any of the additional features. For the price, it's hard to beat Skylight. Also, we've found pganalyze to be an amazing bang for the buck.
Shouldn't one also factor in the cost of purchasing comparably classed vehicles? For example - the base Nissan Leaf costs 29k versus a comparable Nissan Versa costing 14k. 15k difference in vehicle is equivalent to just over 6000 gallons of gas (or around 186 thousand miles).
Depending on your income, at least in the US, it's closer to 21.5k with the federal 7500 tax rebate. In addition, a few states offer rebates on top of that.
This is a great point, and indeed the article is overly simplistic.
I think though that what really matters beyond the base cost in this point is the depreciation cost over time. This is of course much harder to estimate.
A certified used 2012 or 2013 Nissan Leaf can be had for about $9K - $14k. A used 2012 or 2013 Nissan Versa seem to sell for about $8K to $13K. (Both numbers pulled from current autotrader.com listings in the Midwest US).
If your willing to buy a certified used vehicle, the price difference drops down to only about $1k-$2k.
Unlike the United States Canadian freedom of speech isn't nearly as absolute. As an example hate speech isn't protected (unclear if his bit is / might be considered that).
That to me shows an income disparity of approximately 20,000 between white (and asian) men and black (and hispanic and native american) men 6 - 8 years after getting an MBA.
You can keep a single free Dyno "awake" by hitting it with a request at least once per hour. If you use New Relic the built in availability monitoring will do the trick and otherwise Scheduler should work. For more info:
Also, I used pingdom.com once to make sure that my "very low in traffic" app never sleeps, but any solution that performs a request in this interval would be valid
