Fair question. My motivation was mainly to understand if there was something specific that drove that choice. Better question for you maybe: For any new project, which one would you choose and why?
Since I'm not starting a new major project, it's a pointless question to ask as I'm not going to research what I should use. But you completely ignored my question, why do you choose Postgres?
I personally wouldn’t use this. I don’t know if your point about information being “locked” in written form is even being addressed here. There are so many audio books out there but I personally only really enjoy audio books delivered by the author themselves or someone who can actually capture the nuances in the text. So I think you’ll just end up moving this information from being locked in prose to being locked in sound, unless you can accurately capture the tone, nuances and the context around the whole text.
There is no question that authors delivering the work themselves is preferable. But that option is rarely available (only 20% of NYT Best Sellers have audio books read by the authors).

I don't think that everyone shares this opinion. Your fellow YC Batchmates are very happy that Paul Graham's essays are now in audio format as an example. More than 1000 founders have subscribed to the feed.
It seems to me, this is trying really hard to shoehorn Terraform into managing at scale. For multi-account, multi-org, multi-region, multi-cloud deployments is Terraform really supposed to be the state of the art? How do you even get visibility into the various deployment workflows?
100% agree on Macs. Personally I have never had to play IT support when my parents had a Mac. Now with Windows, it’s basically whack-a-mole. Some days the camera stops working and some days WhatsApp doesn’t startup. And they are not power users by any means. So they don’t muck around with their setup either.
We've had to do tech support for family using Macs, but I'll admit it's been less than my Windows-using family. I have 1 family member in mind in particular that I think would have been better off with a Mac. And I probably would have been better off, too, because I could tell them I don't know much about them and send them to the store with a clear conscience. ;)
I agree with OP to some extent here. A phone is critical “infrastructure”. A high bar is basically a given at this point if you’re trying to pitch someone to use your product. Or it’ll remain an experiment and never go mainstream. Apple prioritized experience over features early. Might be something these projects should consider if they are serious about adoption.
The range of SKUs is a problem AMD and Intel (particularly) brought upon themselves. It’s not easy for anyone trying to buy a laptop to truly estimate the power of the processor in there without first going through a review video. Id take the narrow range over that mess.

Its a problem for simplicity of naming, its not a problem beyond that (and the alternative is a problem if you aren’t a vertically integrated producer supporting a fairly narrow end-user product line.)
The guy said thar the service doesn't need to exist. I just don't get what that mean. I don't think "it is hard to config follow the sun model" is enough reason to claim that the service serves no purpose.
Their examples of follow the sun model seems pretty straight forward to me.
