There are too many points of failure in your case.

Internet connectivity is much more interrupt-prone than local OS on either end of connection.

I'm very glad that just before COVID crisis, when I've been forced to work from home, I've set up my office workstation so it connects every ssh login to screen session.

Thus when I strart even 4-hours job and my cellular connection is interrupted, job contnues to run and I can reconnect when internet connectivity is restored.

(As been pointed out I misread the original paper – it was $20,000 for a 540MB disk or about 3 cents per KB – quite a major error of scale. I also realised I wasn’t using the same comparison points as the original paper – so I’ve updated that too – the break even point is now 5 seconds on cache-ing and not 1/10th of a second. Obviously that’s a big difference, but the same general points apply. Sorry for my errors here.)

Oh, it is what means lletter E, which my phone shows when internet connection is really poor.https://tech.slashdot.org/story/20/10/27/2337258/spacex-starlink-public-beta-begins-its-99-a-month-plus-500-up-front?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Slashdot%2Fslashdot+%28Slashdot%29#

I'll agree with this idea. It's not just road safety. It is much more important. Advertising affects consumer choices and thus make markets biased.

Economists talk us about magic power of free markets, which can regulate production better than any supercomputers and buerocratic superpower.
But makret, polliuted by advertisements is by no means free.
