Lunch can in fact be free if you skip it. I feel market forces will almost always prefer a centralized (I.e., marginally cheaper) solution so long as it is robust enough. I would have to imagine an entire economic and cultural shift to imagine S3 being usurped by a decentralized solution.
Sometimes centralization is a benefit because it gives you someone to invoice/sue if it breaks.
- Galanwe 4y agoI agree with you, and that's what makes me sad. The current internet, with all its shortcomings, has created an impossible standard for alternative solutions that would be more secure / free to reach.
