I was hoping someone would notice this by arguing about my pricing estimates in the arguments, but nobody did so I'm gonna spoil the surprise: if you have JavaScript enabled your browser will render slightly different prices if you view this post from Hacker News. This will persist to when you visit from not-Hacker News too, just so you don't notice the difference. The prices range from 0.8x to 5x the ones I figured out in the AWS calculator.
If you want to see how I did it, view source and search "gaslight".
