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?

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.

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.

Re:Tether starting to lose its peg too, after Terra did on Thursday May 12, 2022 @10:58AM (#31355179)
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.
