Postgres has very limited features related to FTS, so it is useful only for very simple cases or for very limited budget. Elasticsearch is stable enough(but good devops and devs needed) and has numerous of features. Anyway Elasticsearch is not a "plug and play" solution and requires much work to be done for good search quality. Why I know this all? I'm running ecommerce search startup, based on Elasticsearch as primary storage.

glintik commented on Ask HN: Freelancers, how do you get work?    · Posted by u/asim

The basic problem is not seeking freelance work....seek instead of offer a service...

What is the difference?

1. If seeking freelance work you get put at the bottom of the pay stack! 2. If you research the target buyers and create a buyable sellable service then the pay lever is back in your hands.

Look even Setty states this implied in all the books he has authored.

Now the third point:

3. Product as a service means you have recurring revenue which means less searching for work or in short words. Yes, at first you have a lot of marketing work resulting in 80 hour weeks...but over time that decreases as you get more recurring service contracts...

You mixed two very different things: business and freelance. Some people just want to sell their hours and not do business.

Citroën Ami is about as low tech as you can get.

If you want something more car-shaped, the Renault Zoe has very few tech feature.

Similarly, Kia Soul has a reversing camera… and that's about it! No radar, lane assist, carplay or anything like that.

Cstomers only want 3 things. A comfortable ride, a safe journey, and $thing. The problem is, everyone's one more thing is different. I want DAB radio, you want cruise control, she wants lane assist, he wants automatic parking.

Creating a dozen different SKUs for all those things is complicated. Getting regulatory approval for every variation is expensive.

So most manufacturers sell only a few variations of their models.

The downside of Zoe is Renault. For its tech price should be much less.

That’s a good catch. I also wondered because there are vast amount of people want just personal vehicle to move from A to B.

In fact, monolithic solution is much faster to ship. And cheaper. And much easier to support.
