This doesn't even look like pay-for-a-snippet (which I agree is a pretty audacious business model). They sell you a black box, which you interact with through R

This doesn't even look like pay-for-a-snippet (which I agree is a pretty audacious business model). They sell you a black box, which you interact with through REST.
As a firm believer that knowledge -- particularly theory -- should be free, Algorithmia is repulsive. As a developer their black-box model (and not simply giving me source) is a no-go.
