I didn't say it would be decent, just that it might make financial sense.

> building a worse version of AWS just so that it is "European" makes no financial sense

Unless it becomes necessary because of EU regulation?

Funny to see Marmite on a menu for a (presumably) fancy NYC restaurant https://pudding.cool/2026/06/menu-story/assets/menus/474586....

That's a fair point, it would be more interesting to compare the salary to equivalent, family-owned private companies (although I'm sure most of them don't disclose that sort of thing).

Wasn't it something like a 3-4% reduction in private school pupil numbers? And some of those would have ended up homeschooled rather than state.

> The main reason humanity hasn't meaningfully started expanding into space is because it used to cost $54,000 to get a liter of water into space.

Am I naive in thinking that we haven't expanded into space because we don't need to? What's the benefit?

I wonder if it’d also related to the reduced length of time that people stay in a job now? Why invest in training a junior if they’ll move jobs as soon as they reach mid-level.

Does Ferrari have the same "relationship requirements" as other high-end manufacturers? I.e. to get the latest and greatest ICE sports case, you'll need to buy one of these first.
