@stevesi @johnolilly it's weird to print money by shipping hardware instead of software IMO. Maybe over time the price of both trends to zero and it's all usage-based subscriptions in the end.

@johnolilly @stevesi in my opinion cloud margins are currently way, WAY too fat. They're basically printing money. Hoping more competition tightens that over time, and we have seen that for example with S3 storage pricing graphed over the last 10 years.

@drewtetz this implies you are selling to people / entities who don't have a bunch of money, themselves. So maybe the target audience you're selling to is not the right (e.g. rich businesses) one?
