Right, but not on $50 worth of hardware. I guess what I'm picturing is companies like Google selling super cheap keyboard+screen combos along with a "cloud" plan, where you get access to so many terabytes of memory and so many cores 24/7 with perhaps leeway to use more cores as desired (but you pay for what you get).
- rorrr 14y agoIf you want to compute a lot, the cloud is always more expensive than your own hardware. Cloud only pays off if you're doing something major short-term (your load is spikes and then drops off for a while), or you're just plain lazy.
