last i remember, you had to use the hetzner VMs to route the traffic to have normal speeds
storage box -> public internal = slow
storage box -> hetzner vm -> public internet = fast

Bitmain could produce and run all the bitcoin miners for themselves, but starting as a "startup" they need to raise funds to scale, hence selling to 3rd parties...
even to date after scaling to millions of units sold

I've had few weekends where I spend the full week credits over night then have nothing to do for a week

You bought it once at X price, it's realized when you sell it, it's unrealized while "open"
If they held it for 100 years and finally sold it, then profit/loss is realized now

i've been using chat gpt for 'chatting/questions' kind of things + snippets of code
it's plenty good on free tier
as soon as they start adding restrictions / raising prices / etc won't take long to look for alternatives

> 450 million and counting people would still prefer to live and work in the EU than anywhere else
majority of population of any given country doesn't emigrate ever, even inside EU where it would be extremely easy

Cambodia is also big player in money laundering
(not only for these cambodia originated crimes)
Also keep in mind all the bribes, all the money laundering mentioned in the article by the 100s of affiliated subsidiares of the criminal group all in Cambodia
the big casinos which directly and indirectly support additional laundering

Every business has revenue / costs
The indictment mentions they were doing 30M/day ~ 10B / year, could be an old message when they were smaller
Guessing that's revenue
They're just one of many organizations in the "industry"
Hi HN, I built https://svpremium.dev after two migrations cut our infrastructure bills far more than I expected.
DNS: ~$150K → ~$5K/year. We’d used NS1 for years, initially for advanced features like filter chains. As we moved our infrastructure to anycast, we ended up mostly using basic DNS and geo routing. But we were still on an annual, prepaid contract sized for peak capacity. Trying to right-size it and remove features only got the quote down to around $100K. We moved to Route 53; our expected bill is around $5K/year.
Images: ~90% cheaper. Devs picked imgix because it was easy and free to try and integrate. As our user-generated content grew, so did the bill: under its old pricing, unique origin images accounted for about 80% of the cost. Moving to Bunny eliminated that charge and reduced bandwidth costs, cutting the total by roughly 90%.
Servers: Of course, everyone knows that hyperscalers (AWS/GCP/Azure) $$$ > DigitalOcean/Vultr $$ > Hetzner $
What vendors am I missing? And where is the familiar, expensive choice worth the premium - and why?
The concept of the website is basically showing the Sillicon Valley / Big Tech / Enterprise premium you're paying for when there's plenty more of options.
