- GFK_of_xmaspast 11y agoWonder when the time lost to dealing with setting up and provisioning cloud machinery overwhelms the cost of acquiring some non-virtual hardware. (also is that spike in the mac data at 960 pixels because I think that's the width of some standard iphone device, maybe some deeper digging and / or spot checkign is needed)
- gallamine 11y agoAuthor here. Unfortunately, (I've been told), common sense accounting where you look at the hourly cost of the worker vs. the cost of buying a service doesn't work in a startup. To the funding sources, my time looks free and any capital expenses are terrible. Recurring payments to AWS is what they want to see. Also, in regards to the pixel spike, yes. Needs more checking but I was specifically filtering on "Intel Mac OS X" self-reported user agents. All iPhones and iPads I've seen report themselves as such.
