#72I'm guessing this is a competitor to S3 Glacier Deep Archive since you aren't meant to read from it. They don't seem to provide information on how you get your data out. Maybe they will mail your drives with your data?
Maybe someone should to an Ask HN: what happens when you request your S3 glacier data. I use it, but frankly it seems more like a protection racket given the costs of getting anything out of there.
Test your backups.
Read time for me has been measured in minutes or sub hour, but the data isn’t huge.

#73/dev/null as a service? Webscale!
/dev/null may be unavailable, for example in lightweight chroot/containers without /dev. It requires extra effort and administration from our devops team. Furthermore, it's a hard-coded path and this is a well-known code smell. It's better to outsource it to a dedicated team with /dev/null expertise rather than re-inventing the wheel in-house.
Is a hardcoded domain even better?

#76I believe they have overestimated the cost of using 3.5" floppies, probably to make themselves look better by comparison. They give the cost as $211,172, but that's the cost to buy a 1 TiB pack of floppies. Their own storage cost is per-month, so to get the equivalent cost for floppies you need to also divide by the expected useful lifetime of a floppy disk. I did a web search for "floppy disk lifetime" and the inter…
Their calculations for S3 is wrong too. If you use glacial deep archive storing a terabyte costs $0.99 per month.

#80A really nice touch is the case study they use, which shows a nonexistent MothersInLawPhotos . com ( http://www.supersimplestorageservice.com/MotherInLawPhotos.p... ) with all the images broken
If you click buy now, you get a "this resource can't be read" error.
does it make the standard clunk clunk noises too?
