The idea that preventing browser innovation is pro-user is particularly risible, leading to entirely avoidable catch-22 scenarios for developers and users. Safety is within our budget, assuming platforms don't make exotic and dangerous APIs available all programs — more on that in a second. " Platforms, while plural, are not equal.

NSF : When the HL-LHC reaches full capability in 2026, it is expected to produce more than 1 billion particle collisions every second, marking a 10-fold increase that will require a similar 10-fold increase in data processing and storage, including tools to collect, analyze, and record the most relevant events. They're generally right.

It is limited by the disk space; it can’t expand storage elastically; it chokes if you run few I/O intensive processes or try collaborating with 100 other users. Our only option was to roll up our sleeves and build basic cloud file system components such as object store ourselves. Optimize on prem cold storage cost.
