Literally the AI sector right now, except it is “low prices for your AI backend!” And in a few years it will be “extremely high prices for your AI backend, now that your entire product is heavily reliant on it”

nice depiction of any new techbro VC powered startup “revolutionary” online service (which I think it was the obvious interpretation, but didn’t see it in the comments)
The bridge that leads to Prince Edward Island in Canada is a toll bridge but “Tolls apply only when leaving Prince Edward Island”.
You can drive on to the island for free, but you have to pay to leave.
A bridge along one of the major routes between England and Wales used a have toll for entering Wales, but it was free to leave.
Whoever made that decision must love Rollercoaster Tycoon.
It’s fine as long as they don’t remove the bridge out from under you
The Golden Gate Bridge is a toll bridge, but only heading into San Francisco.

The guy on the ground has no way to get the balloon back down, unless he’s got a rifle stashed somewhere…
The fire is radiocontolled
He can rope the balloon back down.
Just hand over hand pull it down? That’s a lot of work, even if the balloon has neutral buoyancy.
Its about $1000 worth of work
It’s only $1.
decimal separation differences strike again
It’s a
