Pay tell, how much did the "space pen" get in development money again?

Probably because everybody is convinced they can beat entropy with math

I've been thinking about static site based 'APIs.' Haven't figured out a range yet- everything is either dictionary simple, or too complex like a radar tracking service.

Yes- AWS calculator: 1) S3- cost for how much you're storing in glacier and then the cost for its metadata to he in a S3 hot/warm tier. 2) Glacier retrieval cost- can be minimized by letting AWS pull it on their schedule. 3) BANDWIDTH- this is the vast majority of the cost at $0.09/GB. There may be ways to lower this, but I haven't tried them.

I'm not saying its a bad deal, I very much wish I'd gone with deep archive (especially with the recent addition of "update if different" to the API)

Worst case, it's $90/TB of bandwidth, the retrieval fee, and GB-seconds for a hot S3 tier while waiting to he downloaded and then deleted, plus pocket change for API calls.

With 10TB drives being available for $80-ish... I expect a lot of semi savy people to upload tens of terabytes then cry when they see the bill.

Numbers rounded a bit for simplicity.

Its. Not. The. Lawyers.

Then what do you call throwing grenades at fisherman?

Activist or terrorist? Those groups have blurred the line. Several are officially on terrorism lists.

They got the braincell

DKMS solved these "licensing issues." Dell is mum on official motivation- but it provides a licensing demarcation point, and a way for kernels to update without breaking modules- so it's easier for companies to develop for Linux.

_Windows Drivers work the same way and nobody huffs and puffs about that_

I'd love to have an intelligent discussion on how one person's opinion on licensing issues stacks up against the legal teams of half the fortune 50's. Licensing doesn't work on "well, I didn't mean it THAT way."

Then leave the US.

Care to explain where you think the space went?

Why tie it to half the population (in an ideal world)? Just list per capita.

What!? Last I checked even with ring0 the system didn't have access to the WideVine keys. Talk about yet another reason to just pirate everything
