Wait, what’s your math here? Black deaths by police are 4.5/100k and white is 1.5, that’s a 3x or 300% difference.

Seconded, I’m doing this as well with airflow and EMR. Instance fleets makes the fallback logic to on-demand instances super easy (you set the price + time allowed for trying spot and then the on-demand instances you want to fall back to).
