I tried S3 for my static HTML site but the problem is my personal website gets infrequent visitors and for each visit the first load is always slow probably because my website gets moved from memory to disk.

Having read hundreds of books on startups and all of the essays of Paul Graham and having watched all of the videos of Startup School and having worked as en early employee at a YC startup, I've written this as the shortest guide on how to do a startup. I think the guide is complete. If you think it is missing something, please let me know.

What I see is that he has gone way ahead in understanding the technicalities of the problems and then come back in the explanation to help it make sense.
My experiences have also shown the same strategy to be effective. Just understanding a problem and its solution is not enough. One has to simplify its explanation so that everyone can grasp it.
The intermittent problem is the one that worries me the most.
As an engineer, if I think really long term, I would like to couple water storage with energy storage. I think water will itself need to be stored in a better manner. And I would store it in tunnels at different heights. And optimize that height difference for maximum potential energy.
The tunneling tech would advance faster when it serves both of these functions and things like Hyperloop.
