- Avamander 6y agoVery likely. Public transport vs. a car type of thing I suspect.
- sargun 6y agoYeah, I think the best example is S3. Only when you have to hat much data with a Pareto access distribution can you do things like oversubscribe I/O a ton, or do clever encoding / compression schemes that wouldn’t make sense at the scales of an individual organization.
- sargun 6y agoThere’s also trickle down economics at work here. The rest of the industry got brotli and zstd for free. Every dwarf benefits.
