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

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.

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

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."

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

Have you priced the retrieval cost? You quickly run into high 3 and then 4 figures worth of bandwidth.

Nice job painting CF as the had guy. They do NOT provide services to such, again and again they have terminated such for breach of TOS and cooperated with the legal system.

Well, the magnetic or inertial confinement keeps the reactants dense/close enough to react.

The heat itself is entirely absorbed by the walls. As well as the previously mentioned neutron flux.

Also, heres one of many sources- this was found as part of looking up HFIR's name.

The two scenarios: 1) handing a business your life savings to manage, a 2) authorizing a company to manage your finances so they're in FDIC insured accounts

Are completely different. There's no laws to update, and the FDIC isn't skittering out of paying on a technicality.

And, frankly, if anybody reading this is looking at option #2- do yourself a favor and get an accountant and a wealth manager that both have fiduciary duties. Might as well find a lawyer as well.
