I am not sure why this is the highest-voted comment. The OP has shared a tool which performs a calculation for a pricing estimation. This comment does not address the metrics, or the accuracy, of the calculator. It makes a complaint about AWS pricing, but does not attempt to evaluate or comment on the post, or even provide evidence for the unrelated claim about AWS.
The post is commenting on the pricing calculator; if AWS's pricing varies month-on-month for the same usage then there is no way a calculator for it can be accurate even with the caveat that it's "only an estimate." An estimate that's out by 50% is effectively useless.
HN comment sorting is weird. It’s not based solely on upvotes, as far as I can guess. Probably a mixture of upvotes/downvotes/flags much like the homepage is.
