They haven’t updated their wikis for Operating Costs or Hosting since late 2022, somewhat aligned with their blog post on handling the mass influx of users from “E-day”.

Back then this was 6 AMD 5950 16/32 with 128GB of RAM and 2x3.84TB SSDs, with one “storage provider” with an AMD epyc 32/64 with 400GB of RAM and 10TB of storage.

Their hosting provider doesn’t offer these same SKUs, but roughly equivalent could be about €200/mo for each of the former, and the beefiest high RAM option is like €800/mo, totalling €2K/mo?

Curious how much the infrastructure has grown, but I haven’t seen anything else. Even so, these costs are extremely high.

Curious question, why would IPv6 introduce additional latency?

NASA’s cost of failure in the past was significantly higher, and their development lifecycle was designed to support this. SpaceX’s cost of failure is orders of magnitude less, and their development model is designed to support that. They can throw all the money at the development of the system they want. If they were too in the hole between private investment, Starlink proceeds, and yes, government contracts, they would go bankrupt.

SpaceX is still hitting the milestones on their NASA contracts, which were awarded well before the work started. How much it costs to reach those milestones is not a factor the government cares about. By definition, this is not a bailout or waste of taxpayer money, as it was fairly competed on the open market, and approved by the congresspeople who were voted in by the public.

On the other hand, if you think the entire Artemis endeavor was a waste of taxpayer money, that would be a more fair argument, but that has little to do with any SpaceX hardware failures.

In short, since this is somewhat near term, you probably want as little risk as possible, so stocks are not recommended.

Said longer, a high interest savings account or bond fund at 2-3% is probably your safest bet, but you also need to consider the opportunity cost— tariffs WILL increase the price of a new vehicle this time next year, so are you planning to buy new? Does it make any sense to buy now and refinance later? Tariffs could be as high as 25%, depending on which way the wind blows (country of origin, assuming new, etc).

Opportunity cost aside, what’s your spending target, how much do you have saved already, and how much does optimizing on interest rate actually help?

From $0, saving $300/mo for 3 years at 0% interest is $10,800.

At 3% interest, the same total after 3 years is $11,127, which nets you $327. That’s not nothing, but even an insanely optimistic 10% is ~$1100, but you would be just as likely to lose money.

Your needs and risk profile are yours alone, we’d need a lot more information to say more than “low risk and buy used”.

Wake me up when they have enough senators voting to convict.

They have $3.6B in free cash flow. This is just a decrease from last year, which was a record, to this year, a year in which new car sales outside of China are massively down everywhere.

No, bonds are a distinctly different asset class, specifically, with a fixed rate of return and maturity period.

Except the US government doesn’t have stock options to offer in lieu of salary.

Users annoyed; do nothing.

The largest brand for commercial drones.

The FBI and prosecution should do their fucking job and build a case, instead of relying on illegal search and seizure.

Thats the trick… They don’t intend to replace them. This is a thinly disguised austerity measure, intended to cripple agencies to later “show” their ineffectiveness.

So consider it from their position: fuck everyone else

News flash, most Americans were paycheck to paycheck before inflation, too.

Either they’re scared of competing with new intel NUC SOCs built on their 18A process, or this confirms their buyout of Intel is happening, and they’re preparing to exit from the laptop/SFF space.

What is your degree program? Or, what is your career path?

In general, when people say “Cisco” certs, they almost always mean CCNA, which is the associate level Cisco certification, and gives foundational network knowledge that is highly valuable and transferable to other IT and cyber fields.

Cisco CBROPS probably won’t get you in the door at a SOC without other work experience or certifications, unless the place is super aggressive about churning through SOC I analysts.

Now say the same for the 911 since 1998. Updated taillights, updated motor, updated interior. Still virtually the same design.

They’ve fully redesigned the S twice (2016 and 2021, rumored again in 2025), the X once (2021), and the model 3 once (2022). The model Y is rumored for end of this year or early next year.
