Top Story
- California is looking to ban plastic shopping bags. (SF Standard)
Didn't they already do that, you ask?
Well, not quite. A decade ago, the state banned those flimsy single-use shopping bags stores gave away for free, permitting only heavier, more expensive, reusable shopping bags.
This quite predictably increased the amount of waste, so they're going to do it again.
Tech News
- How much does it cost to delivery a terabyte of data?
Linode charges $5. DigitalOcean and Vultr charge $10. Microsoft Azure charges $80, Amazon charges $90, and Google Cloud charges $110. (Get Deploying)
AWS is what makes Amazon its profit, not shipping trillions of packages to billions of customers.
And what makes AWS profitable is overcharging you for simple services once you're locked in.
- BunnyCDN - which I hadn't heard of before - starts at $5 per terabyte. (Bunny)
It looks quite good. The volume network - that part that costs $5 per terabyte - only has nodes in seven countries, but the regular network, starting at $10 per terabyte, is everywhere.
- Why companies are leaving the cloud. (InfoWorld)
It's fucking expensive.
- Bluesky Social is now open for users to sign up. (Tech Crunch)
It's probably dead, but I'll take a look before officially declaring the time and cause.
Disclaimer: Mostly dead is still partly alive.
