I don't see how I, personally, am supposed to be productive in a novel way with technologies that require a compute cluster and a Google-scale dataset to yield useful results (for instance, "big data" machine learning). Yes, AWS is a thing, but that still ultimately sounds like the small entrepreneur with a novel idea paying resource-rents to a megacorp to get access to the opportunity to monetize his idea.
