Number 3 Drives me absolutely crazy. Bloomberg and The Verge do this as an example. I'm fine with ads, as long as they don't break the page.

Paperspace.io is pretty awesome. I've been using it for about a week now. The specs/ratio are much better over there.

Looks interesting - their demo shots show it running Windows 10, but the pricing shows Windows 7. Which does it run? Or some other OS?

Like amazon we can only offer Windows 7/2008 as part of our licensing. We will offer Windows 10/2016 as soon as it becomes possible to do so. In the meantime, we offer a BYOL option that allows you to run whatever you want on our cloud

Yeah I'm using that too. I'm curious to know what the differences are between the two services.

I'm not satisfied till I see it measured in toilet flushes.

That number would be too large to fit in an ordinary person's brain. Let's instead continually flush all the toilets in Yankee Stadium twice per minute, to see how many years you could continue to do that. Still too big. Continually flush all the toilets on Earth twice a minute instead.

So let's see... 1.335e21 L per ocean, 1.4e14 oceans per space cloud, ~6 L per flush, 1051898.4 flushes per toilet per Gregorian year, ~1.4e9 toilets on Earth.

You could flush all the flush toilets currently installed on Earth, continuously, twice per minute, for 2.1e19 years.

Still too big. That's 1.5 billion times the age of the universe. No one can truly grasp that magnitude. Let's multiply the number of Earths and try to fix the time at the approximate age of the Earth. So, divide by 4.5e9 years... There we go.

You could continually flush all the currently installed flush toilets on Earth twice a minute over the entire history of the planet, on 4.7 billion identical Earths!

Finally! A completely meaningless number that everyone can understand! ~

Ooh, I like that. Composting would imply that the data is devolving back into its original components, but the same data is not used to make new data. I guess maybe it would be clearer if we knew what was being trashed; the storage medium, or the data.
