A handful of peanuts a day to avoid dying in the event of (accidental, inadvertent) exposure sounds like a pretty good deal! I think that's the value here:

It costs money to serve S3 objects out to the internet though. S3 GET request billing + the usual AWS egress fees, after you've burned through the free quotas. Egress is currently $0.09 per GB + tax.



even failed (403) PutObject costs money.


It seems like a good move. The Tao was a big single document with heavyweight edit/revision burden, which probably made more sense when it was updated by publishing a new RFC, as if it were a print publication.

This looks to be the replacement, a website area with topic-oriented pages: https://www.ietf.org/participate/


Says not a three letter agency ;)


Wrong article I think; there was another post about a bookmark manager on here.


It happens. Rereading my comment I hope that didn't come too rude


For anyone new to SOPS like I was - https://github.com/getsops/sops


I don't follow, was $9/user/mo (presumably what the Team plan was) low enough for it to be "effectively free" and invite problem customers?

I would have thought those sorts of people just go for the $0/mo option here.


Presumably.

It's also possible that some organizations incur more than $9 per month in admnistrative or other costs to bill a single customer.


Maybe if you're billing with a paper and pencil, mailing out invoices, and you have to drive a bag of checks over to the bank.

BuildKite is an orchestration SaaS, they don't even own or run the hardware the agents are on. If it costs them $9/mo/user to manage that most of the C-suite should be fired.


Do they use another $9/per month/per customer SAAS subscription to achieve that?


You'd be surprised how many firms have subscriptions to billing insights, know-your-customer, fraud detection and other similar services. Many of the "AI" companies that are emerging do such things.


That wouldn't surprise me. What would suprise me, though, if any of this (individually or in aggregate) is such a huge expense on a per-customer basis


Their posts in the last few days are all tagged "Birthday Week", so I guess their PR office has been queueing them all up for a little while.


Traditionally at Cloudflare, Birthday Week is the "release new products" week; they're not writing announcements for products that they've already shipped, but rather Birthday Week is the deadline every year for a ton of big new products that are being built.


Scrolling down from the "create an account" button, all the "Ory vs [thing]" links from that page open up just fine for me.


Wormhole is a synchronous transfer between two peers; this site is essentially a paste bin/upload bin.
