67. General reply: I don't need no steenkeeng cloud

Thanks all, for discussing and explaining AWS.

I'm not running a business. I don't store my stuff off-site in clouds (aka "other people's computers" ). With the complexity of the commoditized net (see Microsloth's "Halloween memo" from the 90s ), I still probably traipse through the cloud here and there (likely here).

Even if Bozos makes his money mainly from AWS, we can still hurt him more by reducing his flagship company than by cancelling WaPo.
