Were those numbers using 50 racks worth of instances (e.g. 20,000 of them) for the comparison? Did you remember to take into account the obscene bandwidth rates (sorry if that seems like a dumb question but I've seen this bite multiple

That's not a racist 'If'. There's a massive backlog of unskilled rejected immigrants from poor countries that would be way better off living on the US social system than the one in the country they originate from. Immigr

Mincing words isn't a good idea for this sort of thing. This is becoming a standard that will be used to protect the data of a billion+ users over time as devices get upgraded.

The best answer is of course not to at all. Burst into the cloud, static workloads in your own DC.

It's not a tax reduction then. It's a bluff call on a tax designed specifically to hit them (and Starbucks).
