   There's some historical stuff happening in that graph that it's easy for young people to not have context for, like the fact that the peak home ownership around 2005 was caused by a subprime mortgage fiasco.

   My theory on this one is some serial wantrepreneur came up with a business plan of scraping the archive and feeding it into a LLM to identify some vague opportunity. Then they paid some Fiverr / Upwork kid in India $200 to get the data

   Except that I think it's clear that the motive was getting the data not taking the site offline. The evidence for that is that it stopped on its own without them doing anything to mitigate it. Also I don't know why you think this

   The way it works is this: You can sign up for a proxy rotator service that works like a regular proxy except every request you make goes through a different ip address. Is that a botnet? Yes. Is it also typically used in a scraping project?

   Sure there is, scrapers do that to defeat throttling. 10,000 is less than 3 hours of scraping at 1 request per second.

    You think you've had luck. The truth is you have no idea of knowing if this ever had any effect at all.

    Those returned trees don't get sent back to the supplier, they get deducted from a pre-negotiated spoil allowance which is something separate. The supplier returns will be things like badly stacked palettes.

    This is the main thing for me. If I can keep the cf workers backend in the same repo and deploy them together I will consider leaving Next.js for good.

    That's a cold boot though and things like tmux sessions will disappear. (I'm assuming that doesn't happen with shellbox)

    Right you would need it to be on-demand to hibernate like that but even then a medium will beat these prices I believe.

    I think the comparison has to be with EC2 spot right? It feels like EC2 is the better deal, but maybe more of a pain to deal with their UI.

    Maybe it was worth the other $13.1B to make sure their competitors couldn't get them?

    Are you talking about Iran-Contra? Because that's quaint by today's standards. Trump could do Iran-Contra on a Tuesday and people would be done talking about it by Thursday.
