Save time: Why Clever (YC S12) adds yet another timestamp to our analytics data

Calculation for 24 copies of the Library of Alexandria (LOA):

100,000 (moderate number) scrolls * 10,000 words per scroll * 6 bytes per word = 6 GB

Cost of a GB today = ~ 7 cents (again using Matthew Komorowski’s data)

Cost of a sandwich: ~ $10

Number of LOAs / sandwich = 10 / (6 * 0.07) ~ 24
