People on HN fighting for the EU VAT clusterfuck ... wasn't on my Bingo card.

I wouldn't mind a "small premium", but 300% price increase is robbery. Can't imagine that this kind of greed doesn't affect their quality of service.

Temperatures inside a car can easily reach 140 °F (60 °C), in extreme conditions 80°C.

I don't think it is only because the financial sector pays more than average. They don't reach the pay level of FAANG companies having their R&D in Switzerland. Also be assured that this level is only reached in Zurich.

So MongoDB was an inconsistent DB for at least 70% of its lifetime. It doesn't sound too ensuring.

If the other house has better protection against thief's and you trust the owner and inhabitants then, yes, maybe that makes sense.

And if no more players are on the field and it is still a tie then what?

also not available in metallic pink.

Your first link only says that at the beginning it was only 30%, which isn't a too big surprise considering the chaos at this time and it is talking about non lethal weapons only anyway.

"Jonas Ohman is founder and CEO of Blue-Yellow, a Lithuania-based organization that has been meeting with and supplying frontline units with non-lethal military aid in Ukraine since the start of the conflict with Russia-backed separatists in 2014. Back in April, he estimated that just "30-40%" of the supplies coming across the border reached its final destination. But he says the situation has significantly improved since then and a much larger quantity now gets where it's supposed to go."

Maybe the 2023 deadline to overtake MS or shutdown is real.

Not true for Ireland, Malta, Switzerland and United Kingdom.

We would still be below 2%. Interest Rate in the United States averaged 5.44 percent from 1971 until 2022.

It includes DCA because you don't know if the market will turn around.

Could you explain the obvious a bit more? They crash their own economy to do what?

What is your research telling you about those red flags:

Being "audited" by a company nobody ever heard of,

not disclosing what commercial papers they hold for "privacy reasons",

being the seventh-largest holder of commercial papers without any traders seeing Tether buying anything.

I believe you haven't read what rvz is talking about. He didn't say payments with lightning wouldn't work. He said that lightning nodes are a centralized system which open the doors to censorship and manipulation, which was the motivation for btc in the first place.

Could you tell us some of the red flags you see in this video? Considering it is a low cost hoster it looks fine to me, but I am not an expert.

They have you where they want, you are willing to pay, ... but the close down the service anyway with a three months notice.

The problem with gm and im is that both try to load the complete image into memory.

I had some very good results with https://www.libvips.org/.

Could you please hint us to the sentence where he calls the 2% “stealing”, too?

You yourself say that "the increase from 2% to 30% is way more questionable". What is "questionable" about that? Maybe that is not stealing but it is an obvious fraud.

I really don't get what your motivation could be to defend that kind of shit.

BITOs current holdings consists out of ~30% CME Bitcoin Futures, ~40% Treasure Bills and ~30% Cash. Why would that be a good proxy for Bitcoin?

"Yellen says Fed purchases of stocks, corporate bonds could help in a downturn" https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-fed-yellen-purchases-...

To avoid uncertainty lenders sell preferred longer term papers, thereby bringing down the yield of those and withdrawing money from the market which would otherwise chase other stuff, resulting in lower prices for other stuff?

It is 25 cent for glas, plastic bottles or cans in Germany.

Enough money to sue the CCP.

> If the decision maker cared about developer experience why do they keep choosing AWS?

If you have to go to the cloud what else is better. Google, MS? If you press hard enough the same amount of shit drops on your feets.

> The "left" elites

Bernie isn't elite and not close to any power circle.

What do you mean with "real coins". Do you mean collector or proof coins? If yes wouldn't the additional premium for those coins be lost if you use them for barter. Wouldn't make junk silver coins make more sense as they have the lowest premium?

If currencies collapse, society will find ways to avoid a complete barter trade economy. Silver coins look like an obvious option to me.
