I just signed up for a Creator plan, but it looks like the automated "Thank you for being a Mosaic Creator" email going out is not configured correctly. Instead of having my company name, it referenced a different business name and description (that seems to exist/be accurate, so not a placeholder).

Posthog built something similar too, a hedgehog you can move around and that interacts with some of the elements on the page: https://posthog.com/blog/rome-hackathon#hedgehog-mode

Anything 2:50:00 or below is 100% and anything 2:55:00 and above is 0%

Is this actually accurate or did I find a bug?

If not, such a weird 5 minute window

The 0% above 2:55 makes sense at least since it's the BAA's new cutoff this year for males <35yo (the default on the calculator):https://www.baa.org/races/boston-marathon/qualify

Use just a little bit more cynicism and the actual reasoning becomes clear.

Car dealership owners are one of the most reliable Republican constituencies. They make outrageous amounts of money through government-mandated rent-seeking and donate to Republican candidates 6-to-1. What we see here is nothing more than a quid-pro-quo, a handout to the dealership owners in exchange for their loyal monetary support over the years.

So yes, it's not about protecting the consumer. Dealerships are of course actually terrible, as everyone knows. This is about protecting the dealership owners.

I certainly don't mean to be defending either party, but the bill received bi-partisan support. Only 2 reps voted against it in the house, and it received unanimous support in the senate (which includes 12 democrats).

Is there any downside to having a prepaid plan as opposed to a normal plan ? For example when the next year comes up, is there any additional hassle to continue with the same account and pay for another year ?

I have the annual plan and while the auto-renew didn't work for me for some reason, I was able to pay the amount due on their website hassle-free. In some cases I think the pre-paid is more advantageous if you're not a heavy data user since it allows tethering up to your data limit and also includes 1 month of data rollover.

I think the biggest thing missing through pre-paid is the ability to finance devices through the carrier (if this is something you do). Additionally, something like the iphone upgrade program isn't supported if you are on a prepaid plan either. Also, if you ever travel internationally the pricing is absurd ($35/WEEK extra for 5GB of data).

That said, I get the feeling AT&T isn't thrilled about people that opt for their prepaid plans. Porting my number over required me to wait for hours on hold, their support is horrendous if you ever need to get in touch with them for something, and you have to manage your account through an entirely different website that frankly looks like one giant phishing attempt.

Yes, also in us-east-1 and we currently have an event showing for it in our personal health dashboard (but doesn't seem to be acknowledged on the health dashboard if logged out). It's preventing us from deploying CloudFormation stacks as well right now.
