I will continue working on "The Better Wiki", which is a proxy to Wikipedia with better readability. Inspired by "Reader View" of Safari.

WOW, this is my first time getting "slashdotted". Very surprised to see the enthusiasm. The original "Show HN" is here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14582181, and you are welcomed to continue the discussion there

Yes, I totally agree S3 pricing can be complicated with IA, Glacier, RRS, etc.
And it also gets complicated when comparing network egress, when region to region and egress to different parts of the world are taken into consideration. And GCP is actually more complex in the sense because it charges different prices for different egress destinations and AWS in comparison is one price for all of the world.
The most challenging part of making this tool is instead of displaying tons of options and dropdowns, I try to simply enough so that people get a general idea of the cost comparison of three major cloud providers, but not too simple to distort the reality.

Google Cloud maybe is superior in the pricing of compute, but it is actually more expensive on network egress traffic, object storage and block storage.
I recently created a simple tool (http://theprice.cloud/) to compare egress traffic, object storage, and block storage cost among AWS, Google Cloud and Azure. It seems like Googel Cloud is the most expensive one in egress traffic and object storage.

The idea behind http://theprice.cloud is to be a simple and straightforward tool to compare 3 major public cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure), especially in areas that other tools usually miss, for example, egress network traffic and object storage.

Currently, it supports simple comparison of:
1) Network traffic egress to the internet
2) Object Storage

Wonder if this can/will replace CMake for cross platform builds.

From Apple:
"Over the course of the past year, Bloomberg has contacted us multiple times with claims, sometimes vague and sometimes elaborate, of an alleged security incident at Apple. Each time, we have conducted rigorous internal investigations based on their inquiries and each time we have found absolutely no evidence to support any of them. We have repeatedly and consistently offered factual responses, on the record, refuting virtually every aspect of Bloomberg’s story relating to Apple."
