the context missing in the title: he said this at "Border Security Expo" full of private companies who could in the future have a role

so of course he uses business analogies

I mean negotiating power to acquire/lease new space as they'll likely relocating/downsizing :)

keeping a lot of buildings cost a lot of money so even if they're sold at lower than expected prices saves money long term

commercial real estate still recovering from post covid / work from home situation

so federal government has plenty of negotiating power

also with layoffs the space requirements may have changed and such large buildings may be excessive

article didn't they they got the project and any project would take months/years even with the best and brightest on the project

> get a firsthand look at the current system, learn what air traffic controllers like and dislike about their current tools, and envision how we can make a new, better, modern and safer system

based on this they can come in to scope out a project and send it out for bidding

Congress approves the annual budget for each department, it's not micromanaging how it's spent

maybe that means the space should be more competitive with more banks freely offering services to crypto businesses without being pressured by the government

maybe that's why most crypto companies end up being too concentrated on a handful of banks only

if making the deal a reality means showing it's better in every way it will come up :)

For comparison

https://www.vera.org/publications/price-of-prisons-2015-stat...

US prisons cost anywhere from 16k to 70k a year per person

It’s an offer

Trump can counter offer asking for a new jail just for American population and all the requirements/conditions to house American citizens

I don’t think lots of American prisons are that good to begin with anyway

Interesting move!

If they can demonstrate they would offer better conditions than 90% of US jails (private or public) and would cost less than half why not?

Could be voluntary too:

- Prisoners who want better conditions could ask to be moved to El Salvador for the duration of their stay

- Prisoners who have regular visitors or any other reason to stay within US just don't

Revolut had credit cards for a few years but only in Lithuania

https://www.revolut.com/en-LT/credit-cards/

I guess they'd need to apply for banking license to offer CC in every EU state and that would be an order of magnitude more expensive than Lithuania's banking license

why did i sell my shares last year ;p

Before Trump comes in power, suddenly Biden administration is doing lots of things Trump would have done

Is it just me or are they trying to take credit ?

They're also doing silver based solution drops that you apply on your teeth once a year to prevent cavities

i've run 5$ vps for years with them

mostly works, there's maybe a "restart" once a year due to hardware problems

all handled transparently without you intervention

support is responsive enough

for personal use works perfect

most of EU countries can barely pass a budget without deficit, can't see them actually cutting things to move budget to defense

It's either huge deficits or impossible policies that won't pass by any parliament

Would be interesting to study that

If you self hosted minio on their SX nodes you could prob get close to half

b2 is not that good

We use it for multiple use cases and all of them require lots of retries and error handling

essentially they're build for backups use case, with lots of spinning rust, any kind of "working data" easily underperforms

backups work fine because not time sensitive and retries handle the problems

they also block external servers on their network that are somehow related to crypto

so if you have some kind of service/api/trading bot/scraping/monitoring hitting a somewhat related to crypto node you may find that you will have no routing from hetzner core router to said server

and support is as friendly as other comments describe :)

I'm guessing you're banned because you have such amounts of data/servers and push a substantial amount of bandwidth under the free "1gbps" card for each (even if the cache layer handles most requests directly)

perharps if you moved all servers to 10G and payed for the egress over 20Tb they would reconsider your account?

They still unreliable pulling stuff like this but difficult to find these hardware options off the shelf, ready for order, at this rpice
