Datacenter Renewable Power Done Right: All the article is interesting, but I think this gives something away about how Amazon prices AWS: “Amazon Web Services added an interesting innovation where they sell the remaining capacity not fully consumed by this natural flattening of the peak to average. These troughs are sold on a spot market and customers are often able to buy computing at less the amortized cost of the equipment they are using”. I wonder if that means that the normal pricing strategy for AWS is simply to amortize the cost (presumably taking projected usage into account)?

Fails very badly on “When was Australia founded?” (thinks Australia is a band!) Based on https://github.com/machinalis/quepy
