Due to noise constraints supersonic flight is banned over land right now. If they lower noise pollution maybe laws will be changed.

GBTC has no redemption mechanism, you can wrap more BTC into GBTC but not the other way around. For ETFs this is what solves the arb. You can do your arb but you still need to offload GBTC at some point and the only option is to another buyer of GBTC.

There's a big difference between AWS Aurora and AWS RDS PG. Both are managed services.

Amazon supports PG 12 and 13 is in beta. Aurora is Amazon's fork of Postgres which has different storage and replication so will always be behind.

Huawei 5G CPE Pro (if you don't mind Huawei) has good reviews, has ethernet and you can use external 5G antennas.

On the way back unfortunately you have to stop in Brussels because Amsterdam/Rotterdam do not have passport control for departure.

Happy with 1G Hyperoptic too. There's IPV6 or £5/month if you want your own IPv4 otherwise it's CGNAT.

I have no problems with a gigabit symmetrical line on ERLite-3. UniFi Security Gateway is the same hardware but in a nicer interface that works with UniFi APs & Switches if you want to go that route but you have to also host a controller. You can also upgrade to a ER-4 for a much faster CPU but I don't think you need to.

We're open to people outside the US (and we have a few) but as mentioned we're looking for people with a high overlap with PST for easier collaboration.

We're open for remote engineers/data scientists, not quite all the positions unfortunately.
