I am actually surprised by the absence of AMD support for a project born at AWS. AWS has been offering AMD Epyc ec2 instances for quite awhile[0]. Missing arm support is also suprising but less so, as arm market penetration is obviously low

Disclosure: I currently work at Scaleway but wasn't there at the time when we rolled out the 1st ever ARM baremetal offering. It was massively cheaper than their x86 counterparts at Scaleway or competitors, thanks in no small parts to

Because the social contract of most countries is that your legally gained cash is to be taxed in one form or another and thus has to be known by the tax authorities? You can argue that your assets are to be private to the general public but

Would you have sources about Toyota factories being less automated than their US competitors? I've been told in the past that the key factor in Toyota success is their relationship with their suppliers. A top notch supply chain with ju

Sorry I misread your comment! You're obviously right for licensing inside the emulator! However, the costs are(were?) in hardware & floor occupancy (as in "decomission a whole room"-cheaper)

I think you're comparing apples to oranges here. If you reclaim a parking space for another use (such as building accommodation for families or an animal shelter), you're not depriving the car of anything, it's an expensive,
