My takeaway is that there is a difference between residential and industrial usage, just as there is a difference between residential car ownership and 24/7 taxi / industrial use

And that no matter how amazing the industrial revolution has been, we can build reliability at the residential level but not the industrial level.

And certainly at the price points.

The whole “At FAANG scale” is a misnomer - we aren’t supposed to use residential quality (possibly the only quality) at that scale - maybe we are supposed to park our cars in our garages and drive them on a Sunday

Maybe we should keep our servers at home, just like we keep our insurance documents and our notebooks



I might be interested in buying storage at 1/10 of the price if the only tradeoff was a 5 minute wait to power on a hard drive.
