> Let’s ignore how AWS S3 still charges you $23/TB/month—1.6x the price of buying the physical disk outright every month—and then charges you egress fees on top for every byte you actually download. But this is an article about the state of the art in computing, not the state of the art in setting money on fire.

Can’t help but chuckle at this. The old adage “It’s not voltage but current that kills you” now becomes “It’s not storage but egress that gets you.”
