Living a real, physical life outside the home is good because humans need friction. Convenience is alluring but it is dangerous, because getting used to it means forgetting that being alive isn’t meant to always be easy. We should run our errands in person and queue at the Post Office and eat in restaurants because it is good to remember that sometimes we have to wait around, or go to several shops because the first one didn’t have what we needed.

ECMO is the flying machine design

Anycast does not really make the pricing that different.

Especially since one does not have to backhaul the traffic to one specific PoP.

Cloudflare manages to run their Anycast CDN as a loss leader just fine.
