I'd be happy to push a "micro" SaaS doing 100k a month built by a small team as an alternative to BigTech/VC for projects I may be involved with, not so much a 500$ month PoC

The alternatives may be too small

Who's gonna pick (gamble on) a SaaS that's doing < 500$??

> Yes, this would require massive pumping stations to lift the water up the Continental Divide at some point (the lowest lift would be 4,000 feet in Campbell, New Mexico, close to Albuquerque), but then it would be all downhill using gravity to Lake Powell or somewhere else on the Colorado above the Glen Canyon Dam.

as I've heard, they will order the car for you, but you only sign/pay for it when it has arrived.

I guess due to demand and regular price increases, they don't need to worry about customers bailing out, and they can keep adding to their margin as the market rises

Tax based on manufacturing concentration?

e.g. at current market shares, we could

- 10% tax for Asia manufacturing

- 20% tax for Taiwan manufacturing

By moving away from these centers, taxes would be adjusted say annually

I think this would be interesting for other industries too

#ChinaDecoupling

the budget option is < 800$ ?

Might consider too, but at a first view, looks like subpar performance (and Casino stocks might go down further due to recession)

so the question is, is it really that hard to start from scratch?

You could have the top tier upwork freelancers for 60-100 USD per hour

fully dedicated to your project

Would it really be more expensive than a spaghetti touched by 10+ people at an agency?

i'm from one of the aforementioned countries and PIIGS is a common denomination when referring to that group of countries

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PIGS_(economics)

PIGS (Portugal, Italy, Greece, Spain, missing anything here?) have high debt

For simplification let's say they spend 10% of their anual budget servicing debt at an average of 5% interest rate

If the base interest rate rises by 50 bps, you could argue the average debt held by PIGS would eventually rise by the same amount, _at least_!

So now you have 5.5% interest rates, which is a 10% increase

So the anual budget used to service the debt would also increase by 10%, from 10% to 11%

By buying bonds from these countries you pressure the yields down

Would be good if they offer it upfront or as an add-on during order

but currently you can request it as referred here https://docs.hetzner.com/robot/dedicated-server/general-info...

life insurance is priced for once in a lifetime events

you keep a car for something that will happen once per ~ 4 years?

You can host it anywhere and just "proxy" it from a throwaway box

So in that case you can use any commercial storage option suitable for that like Backblaze/S3/etc and simply use a 5$ VPS (which you can rotate often) in front

They're the Apple of foundries.

They focus on high end high margin and segment their customers accordingly

maybe doing recursive calls on lambda was not the best course of action?

I've been in teams making dozens of lambda based apps without issues,

lambda itself is the smallest item on the bill.

API Gateway is multiple times more expensive than the compute (lambda) fees

"let's encrypt is not good enough, our customers are "enterprise", bla bla"

work at managed service provider

everything is a ticket

ssl is expiring,

- make a ticket for the customer,

- request a quotation,

- wait for approval,

- finally issue the cert manually,

- finally deploy it (manually, using some tool of course)

the new SE is quite affordable though and it lowers the barrier of entry

maybe the risk/payoff wasn't good enough unless you had too much money that you could just "gamble it" to make it happen

corporations have shareholders and can't make risky moves like that

would be good to know more in general, if you'd like to share

I'd like to know, specifically about my last point > "But for online businesses I guess at some point you'd be selling to US customers, so would that complicate things?"

because selling anything online like SaaS / digital products / etc, would be very easy to get a few american customers and that would incur corporate tax? at least for that portion of the revenue ?

Anyone have experience with "non-resident" US LLC ?

That would be one way to avoid corporate taxes while being established in a reputable jurisdiction?

But for online businesses I guess at some point you'd be selling to US customers, so would that complicate things?

sounds good

keep using your free time to improve your skills and/or building something on the side

best part of asia is that there's huge cities with nice condos everywhere

you can always find a nice place to stay near work or your favorite spots in a very short time and for reasonable prices

in western cities (tech capitals) you spend months looking for the "least worse" overly expensive option and you're stuck there, too often you're living one city away and spend 1h each way on commuting

Would be interesting to see numbers on that

Could be that many (or a significant portion) are part of the "tech" elite who has kept a job for the past 2 years and it's optimizing their "costs" by moving to a more advantaged area?

While other people, may be getting better prices now that the bubble is deflating?
