At least it's better than Slack and Discord. Still shit of course, but it could be worse.

Twitter currently has $1.5 billion/year deficit which is a lot, even for Musk, to bankroll.

Check Amazon’s Antitrust Paradox by Lina Khan (FTC). A very detailed review of how Amazon is a monopoly and how they dodge antitrust legislation.

That's not how it works. Or, rather, that's not only how it works. Sure, advertisers dream of users who see an ad once and run to buy a product. But ad effects are spread over time. They build brand recognition. They fake familiarity. Say you are in a supermarket and you want to buy a new type of product that you haven't bought before. Very likely you'll pick something familiar-sounding, which you heard in an ad. Ads pollute the mind even if the most obvious effects are, well, obvious and easily discarded, more subtle influence remains.

Based on your analogue they drive the car for 7.5 inches (614.4 Kb by 63360 inches by 20 divided by 103179878.4 Kb) and promise based on that that car travels 20mph which might be true, yes, but the scale disproportion is too considerable to not require tests. This is not maths, this is a real physical device - how would it would behave on larger real data remains to be seen.

106 Gbps

They get to this result on 0.6 MB of data (paper, page 5)

They even say:

Moreover, there is no need to evaluate our design with datasets larger than the ones we have used; we achieve steady state performance with our datasets

This requires an explanation. I do see the need - if you promise 100Gbps you need to process at least a few Tbs.

Not for the seedbox, but for the personal always on VPN I would def prefer something nearshore.

Why? I refuse to believe there's no location in SA with a decent internet and without DMCA enforcement.

Be ware of using VPN if you want spanish content and wanna join a private tracker; all spanish private tracker ban the use of VPNs

What's the rationale for that?

 

For many a year my needs of DMCA-ignoring VPS hosting have been met by various Eastern European hosters, who either ignored DMCA altogether or helpfully passed along all information without any further actions.

Now I'm searching for the same, but near USA. Mainly to be used as a torrent seedbox, personal VPN, and so on. What countries and hosters can you recommend?
