That’s mind boggling to think about. I wonder how much paper would’ve been needed to store 100T objects on paper. It’s like the new Library of Alexandria.

- herodoturtle 6y agoThere's a joke in here about OVH...
- leesalminen 6y agoFor sure ;) but I also imagine that the number of objects with a public-read ACL (potentially mis-configured) would still dwarf Alexandria.

- jliptzin 6y agoWhat’s way more mind boggling to me is that there are at least 260 galaxies per person in the world. I am not shocked at all that S3 is home to any number of cat pictures many of which are probably duplicates.

- iamgopal 6y agoI don’t know, but to me 260 per person seems less than what I would guess.
