Can you please clarify what you mean by “audited reserve reports”? The best ive heard of is “attestation” or “assurance.” From the very page you linked: > Tether Holdings Limited do regular assurance opinions every quarter And from the l

Historically ~30% of all listings were adjusted down. That makes sense when listings are about price discovery. IIRC currently about 15% of listings have a downwards price correction. That is VERY hnusual, and yet still a meaningful portion

This is absolutely not true. “Investor” properties account for about 18% of secondary home sales. 90% of those sales are to individuals with 1-4 properties. The remaining 10% of investor sales, ~2% of the total, is ALL of the professional i

Returns and local logistics. Delivery with tracking in 2-5 days is a LOT better than most (all?) alibaba sellers and opens up an entire category of nearly JIT sales. The old 1-2 day delivery was even better and could cover more daily needs.

Personally I love usage based pricing that’s tied to costs. One thing I’ve noticed, maybe more in the last few years, is that customers don’t actually want this because, when done comprehensively, it leads to an overwhelming number of line

There are other good answers to the complexity. An additional aspect not mentioned yet is that your bill is not a single thing. Usage, metering, pricing, and billing are all discreet problems. Theyre all interdependent and all of them need

I dont know any concrete techniques. My applied rule of thumb is that 15-25% of total effort is/should be spent on maintenance and operations. Commonly called “keep the lights on” (ktlo) where Im at. Trending higher than that is a warn

Your axis here seems to be something like "unique content/personalization per client." From every client sees the same documentation content to every page view/action of an IDE is unique.

Ah, when you said "database" I assumed you meant a dedicated single tenant instance of an RDMBS (or similar), and not necessarily something like dedicated tables. I will admit to being a decade out of touch with the vagaries of &q

Oh billing :( My own disappointing incident was metering customer usage in Bytes when billing was setup for Gigabytes. A couple of “concerned” customers noticed that super quick when the new functionality was turned on. Having to sort that

Your order of operations is inverted. The existing data center providers have been doing this for a few decades. Equinox, Dell, and friends are the ones who do the build out, management, etc. If youre big enough theyll also build to suite,

Depends on exactly what youre after. AWS Config acts as an inventory and audit of resources, with some enforcement state features. Eventbridge events are produced on resource state change and CloudTrail on API actions. Those are super easy

Concur. I had also always heard of it as “IL7” when I worked in IL1 & 6. An aside, the balcony & gamesroom in IL2 was a nice little escape for an afternoon beverage as well.
