I'm a bit mystified. The link goes to an empty article but if you google the exact title, you will be taken to the full article which... has the exact same URL. I don't know what kind of wizardry this is.
Most newspapers don't show paywalls to users coming from a search engine, as part of a compromise with Google to prevent them from being penalized in rankings.

Do you think they have a special deal w/ Amazon? Otherwise I imagine that's a really expensive bill. Do you think they're doing it because its cheaper when you account for things at a larger scale? Like, reduced liabilities, payrolls, CapEx, whatever? Or is it more expensive but still "easier" and they go with it? I really REALLY would like to hear everything from everyone about this, because right now I'm facing tha…
The major thing that sways people to one side or the other is the kind of problems they want to build an organization to cope with. Do you want to build an engineering team that can handle a whole availability zone in Amazon going out, or do you want to hire one that eeks performance out of bare metal? Do you want a sales organization that has to go to the mat over security details, or a marketing organization that has to cope with justifying why "you're not a cloud company, you don't use the cloud" in their brand? There's going to be bumps either way.

For me it didn't even load the ad, I just saw the "log in" at the bottom and a blank page. "who needs an article when you can have a headline?"
Netflix is still running its own CDNs / using CDNs outside of Amazon. "The company, which competes with Amazon in the video-streaming business, elected to keep control of its own content delivery network." So Netflix is still probably doing the bulk of their traffic themselves. Application servers with AWS is probably not a huge bill versus massive video traffic.
Could someone explain why this is a good move in spite of the risk that Amazon could jack their prices up in the future?
