From memory, it was for Joint Academic Network. I'm surprised the Wikipedia article doesn't mention it at all, but it seems hard to find an authoritative source.

A handful of peanuts a day to avoid dying in the event of (accidental, inadvertent) exposure sounds like a pretty good deal! I think that's the value here:

It costs money to serve S3 objects out to the internet though. S3 GET request billing + the usual AWS egress fees, after you've burned through the free quotas. Egress is currently $0.09 per GB + tax.

Wrong article I think; there was another post about a bookmark manager on here.

I don't follow, was $9/user/mo (presumably what the Team plan was) low enough for it to be "effectively free" and invite problem customers?

I would have thought those sorts of people just go for the $0/mo option here.

Their posts in the last few days are all tagged "Birthday Week", so I guess their PR office has been queueing them all up for a little while.

Scrolling down from the "create an account" button, all the "Ory vs [thing]" links from that page open up just fine for me.

Wormhole is a synchronous transfer between two peers; this site is essentially a paste bin/upload bin.

Yup, right on. We found a bug that crops up when a certain compiler (proprietary, not MSVC) tries to reuse the result of a float comparison originally made in a ternary expression.

The compiler ends up omitting most of the rest of the function's assembly, which breaks things as much as you'd expect. (For bonus fun, our ternary expression was deep under about four layers of macro.)

And CRUD -> create, read, update, delete.

By "LOB CRUD" GP means those fairly generic apps that are mainly a front-end to some database, with a bit of business logic or integrations tacked on. They're not the apps making money for a business, they're just helping it tick along and do the things that actually bring in revenue.
