Which is still gonna be significantly worse than the $8/share offered.

If the value of assets after paying off debtors is > $8/share, then that’s the easiest arbitrage opportunity considering it’s currently trading at $1.80.

Just buy the whole thing for $3/share (an irrefutable premium of 67%), shut down operations entirely, pay off the creditors, and pocket the net assets of > $8/share and more than double your money almost instantly.

If the claim is the CEO ran it into the ground then the board messed up even worse by not replacing the CEO.
Your comment doesn't match what's written on the very page you quote: https://upcloud.com/fair-transfer-policy

> Even if you exceed your monthly share, don’t worry, there are no excess fees. We will simply notify you of reaching the fair transfer policy and may reduce the bandwidth of your Cloud Servers to 100 Mbps for the rest of the month.

EDIT For completeness, there is also:

Interesting usage of "extern" and "auto". Quite different from contemporary C:

tree() {
extern symbol, block, csym[], ctyp, isn,
peeksym, opdope[], build, error, cp[], cmst[],
space, ospace, cval, ossiz, exit, errflush, cmsiz;

auto op[], opst[20], pp[], prst[20], andflg, o, p, ps, os;
...

Looks like "extern" is used to bring global symbols into function scope. Everything looks to be "int" by default. Some array declarations are specifying a size, others are not. Are the "sizeless" arrays meant to be used as pointers only?
Very cool. I’m a bloodhound for spotting talent. Are you still in the space?
That's 78% of farming-dependent counties, not farmers. >78% of any demographic voting at all would be a phenomenal step for democracy.
Bear in mind that the President of the United States is not directly elected by a popular vote. The mathematics of who gets the largest voice are distorted, intentionally so by the Framers. They did not want low-population agrarian states to be permanently in effect disenfranchised.

It is ironic after all of these decades of originalism being seen as a reactionary thing against minorities that the Framers put positive discrimination for (economic and geographic) minorities into the Constitution explicitly to prevent "tyranny of the majority".

The U.S.A. is full of such ironies at the moment.
Prisoner's dilemma, innit. If people are going to use "I'm working class" as an excuse for holding other people in contempt, they shouldn't be surprised to see it reflected back at them.

And contempt is one of the defining features of Trumpism/Muskism, far more than "blue collar".

You can express your opinion about everything and everybody, including politicians, in public as much as you want in germany. But first paragraph in the german constitution is about human dignity ("Menschenwürde"), not freedom of speech. Which means, that when you insult somebody in public, it can happen that the affected person might sue you, and that a court might judge that you hurt the person's dignity. The consequence might be, that you have to pay a fee.

Recently there were cases of police operations at the homes of people who where accused of insulting a politician. Those operations where heavily criticized in the german public and followed by a court rouling, that judged that the police overreacted in those cases.

Somehow, in certain circles, this whole story gets shortened to "If you criticize the government in germany, your home gets raided by the police".
It's not just a consumer movement, it's Europe itself moving to get away from an unreliable schizophrenic ally. You can't make long-term plans when every 4 years you're playing russian (eh) roulette with your partner.

The movement might slow down, but it's fundamentally different from a social movement limited to the US.
I think the article should also point to the /usr merge https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/TheCaseFor... because it makes it feasible to have atomic distributions.

Most Linux distributions today have moved all the distribution-specific system files under the /usr hierarchy. Which means that a Linux distribution consists mostly of the /usr and /boot directories. In addition, you have files in /var and /etc that can be modified by the local system administrator and you have /home (which is actually /var/home internally) where regular users can save local files.

The local admin can still influence the system by editing files in /etc but she cannot mess with the files in /usr. The key benefit is that distributors can roll out very well-defined Linux distributions that still allow for local modifications in non-critical areas.
This is not my area, but will the surgeon really waste time at LinkedIn? I expect them to either work (doing surgery or administrative work) or relax at the golf course. For the CEO it is a bit different, doing marketing maybe part of their Job.

However in both cases I expect an assistant etc to be at a conference, who then can introduce me. Which immediately is more personal than one in a million messages on LinkedIn.

But again, not my field.
You're right. It's all about latency not throughput!
If that’s the case then the likelihood of the remaining net assets being worth more than $8/share are even lower.
It's still cloud, billed by the hour, but Hetzner makes a distinction between shared cloud, where your cores can be oversubscribed, and dedicated cloud, where core is core.
A lot of these 2% live in states whose influence on the outcome of the presidential election is disproportionately high due to the electoral system. So you have a high influence of farmers on states that have a high influence on the election outcome and those 2% end up looking more like 4% in terms of practical influence.

It is disingenuous to lay the results at their feet only like the comment you're responding to suggests ; Trump did win the popular vote. The dems fumbled this one, plain and simple.

How is this done in practice? Do you all just do backups different? What percentage of deleted data still exists, obfuscated as user1029387 in the tables? With "deleted" boolean column obviously set to true.

The very idea that it's possible to delete all your data from any service not running everything on tmpfs is funny to me.
How is any of that even remotely relevant to a comparison with the Soviet Union?

EU companies aren't as overvalued/massive as US ones... and what does that have to do with the USSR?
I do not agree. The same division is spreading throughout the west, if not the world.

From the very woke education system in the US to the electoral success of the AfD in Germany we seem to be following the US.

Woke has not spread into Asia, but nationalism and racism were there already.
There isn't a single socialist country in Europe since around 1990 (and good riddance). I think the term you're looking for is social-democracies (for the political system) or social-market-economy (for the economic system).
Show HN: A Tim Urban–Inspired Work/Procrastination Tracker
I built this after hearing Tim Urban mention on a podcast with Liv Boeree that he uses a chess clock to track real work vs. procrastination. The idea stuck with me.

So I made a very simple web app where you press one button when working and another when you're not. It tracks how much real focus time you’ve done, shows your stats, and reminds you that if you finish 4 hours of real work, the rest of the day is yours.

There’s also Pomodoro mode, dark mode, sound notifications, and bilingual support (EN/CZ).

It runs in your browser, no login, data is stored locally: https://phase89.github.io

Would love any feedback, especially ideas on how to make it more useful for others struggling with distraction.

Careful study of farming often reveals that it's a mix of landowners (rich on paper, possible cashflow problems) and workers (usually immigrant, often undocumented, in which case they're not voting at all).
What difference does it make if 99% of your devices are still running on Microsoft Windows?

I'm a European DevOps engineer who specializes in Microsoft Azure, and I'd like to switch to European alternatives. But I struggle to see how we can ever become independent of Microsoft of all devices are still running Windows and 365 / Office.
Well, I wasn't convinced by the Brazilians' argument that catapults don't count, but then Otto Lilienthal's flights should also count. Either you want completely unaided flight, and Dumont did it first, or you don't, and Lilienthal's flights are the first.
And they only used a wooden rail the first year at Kitty Hawk, when they only had a glider. They had decided to tackle the problem of control first and propulsion later. The glider took off by sliding downhill on a rail, while the Flyer they built the next year took off under its own power on level ground.

Not only that, but they were the first to realize that the tables of lift published by whatshisname the French guy were bogus. They built a wind tunnel so that they could make their own measurements of lift and drag. Weirdly, the wind tunnel had been invented ~50 years earlier! Apparently most of the Europeans who were playing with gliders that whole time didn’t even know about wind tunnels or they might have thought to put two and two together.
Your argument oversimplifies the issue and ignores critical nuances. While it's true that Equinix is a US-based company, the physical location of the data centers and the legal jurisdiction they operate under matter significantly. A data center in Finland, Sweden, or Poland falls under EU regulations, including the GDPR and local data protection laws, which impose strict requirements on data handling.

Equinix may provide the infrastructure, but US intelligence agencies can’t simply access data in these jurisdictions, unlike in the US, where providers are directly subject to laws like the CLOUD Act.

Even if we assume hypothetical US access to the hardware, modern encryption can somewhat ensure that raw data remains protected. The real risk isn’t just physical access—it’s legal and architectural control. A European provider using strong encryption and operating under EU law still offers far better privacy guarantees than a US-based alternative.

If your threat model includes avoiding US influence entirely, then yes, you might want a provider with no US ties whatsoever. But for most users, especially those seeking GDPR-compliant hosting, a European provider using Equinix infrastructure is still a meaningful step up from hosting directly with a US provider. Dismissing it as "inherently insecure" is unhelpful and disregards the real-world protections offered by EU jurisdiction and encryption.

The goal isn’t perfection but practical improvement. If you have better alternatives, share them constructively instead of undermining efforts to move away from US-dominated cloud services.
The Chinese set up their own intranet because history taught them the lesson to never trust a white man.

For Europe 100 years of globalisation cannot be undone so easily.
THIS. Nobody gives a fuck if half the Americans don't support their dear leader, it's all the same to the rest of us.
No we weren't really to start with. What happened was a lot of European business executives worked out the best retirement plan for them was to either sell off our industry or subcontract everything out. I worked for two companies in succession that were sold out to US defence ownership.

Now their successors, who have been hoping that there isn't a tough discussion coming up, are now edging around that it was a terrible idea and backtracking as quickly as possible. Fortunately the US didn't move all the staff out so there are US subsidiaries in Europe which have staff in an uncertain situation who are probably quite easy to hire.

It's a step in the right direction for Europe but only because it was historically a terrible step in the wrong direction.

I think France are probably in a better place than most countries at the moment. That is it.
it looks great!

TS/JS is surprisingly fast these days. FIXParser has been performing at 1-2 microseconds per FIX message for several years. And that's with basic performance optimizations while keeping readable code. With further optimizations using WASM we can reach nanosecond speeds...
Could have been avoided with some basic research. Give your money where the industry is at the least trying to open source their appliances endpoints. Such as GE with their custom esphome framework and adapter or buy it with the intention to jailbreak.
> What made them think he'd do better for them this time?

Same answer as for everyone else: Fox News.
How? They busted huge criminal network and linked the app itself to a criminal gang. This is how the law enforcement should work. Every human right, including privacy, has limits and the purpose of the law and the due process to establish where those limits should be. It would be strange to expect that privacy of a human trafficker or drug dealer is protected more than the rights of the people they harm.
Actually, programming languages are also for humans.
Oh yeah, replacing AWS may be easier than replacing O365... or otherway around? My company also went all in for O365. It's about replacing Mail, Teams, Teamwebsites, OneNotes and for sure so much more... We also ship our patches via Teamwebsite, it sounds stupid but well, it works... And talking to costumers when they still have Teams but your company ditched it, how would that work and so on...
You have to have a lot of hope to think that all this will or can be replaced in the near future.

There’s the answer. The new syntax is just particularly appealing.

Does “if let some of x be assigned an option:” make better sense and sound greater than “match option, some of x:” and “if option is some:”?
Code does not contain all the information of a feature.
Me too, and then I pressed the doorbell but the page said "there's no fish in this image" (because it swam away), so I didn't send the photo. Am I supposed to wait for a fish that will hang out in the frame? It's a bit unclear.

Notice those are all (except arguably CUDA) very mainstream languages. All four of AMDs are niche. Upstreaming this into pytorch would double the number of languages used. (Although HIP is very similar to CUDA)

Yeah, I see farmers here in Europe as one of the most educated groups.

They need to be educated in politics and economy in order to navigate all regulations and subsidies.
The first publicly available version of Oracle Database (v2 released in 1979) was written in assembly for PDP-11. Then Oracle rewrote v3 in C (1983) for portability across platforms. The mainframes at the time didn't have C compilers, so instead of writing a mainframe-specific database product in a different language (COBOL?), they just wrote a C compiler for mainframes too.
Thanks, what you explain in your comment is the idea I had, too, although I've little experience in C++. But I was confused after taking a look at this project's source and seeing all the duplicated code between ShiftToMiddleArray.h and ShiftToMiddleArray.cpp, and not only signatures. I wasn't sure if that was done for some purpose.
> Hetzner behaves pretty much like DO, with servers that can be changed in the corresponding management panel. Or what aspect do you think is different?

Parent is comparing Hetzner Dedicated with Upcloud VPS, not Hetzner VPS with Upcloud VPS, I'm not sure you missed this.

But in case it's not a misunderstood question: Dedicated instances are "real" hardware you have full control over, for better or worse, while VPSes are managed by your provider, and are virtualized on top of "real" hardware.

Usually you have better performance and isolation (and higher price :) ) with dedicated servers compared to VPSes, but it also usually means less flexibility. Typically you cannot just "upgrade" a dedicated server to another instance without dealing with the migration yourself, while most VPS providers offer a one-click upgrade/downgrade of instances.

Edit: I see parent now edited their comment to say "Hetzner dedi cloud" where as when I wrote my comment it just said "Hetzner dedi" so seems I'm the one who misunderstood parents comment :)
You're correct that this election was more lost by the Democrats than won by the Republicans, but Trump didn't actually get the popular vote. That meme took off well before the final vote count was completed.

It was close, and American politics being what it is, it doesn't actually matter. Hillary Clinton did get a majority in 2016 after all, but the narrative was still that she was the worst and losing-est candidate in American political history. Every Democrat is a liar, a cheat and a communist, every Republican has a mandate from God to sweep the leftists into the sea. That's just how it works, regardless of what the numbers say.

Keeping an eye on this myself, as a Brit working in the UK for a US chip company; I'm wondering when the right moment to pull my RSUs from the US brokerage account and back across the Atlantic is.
Thank you for saying that.

I see this divide all the time, and I can't bear seeing this used time and time again to make the rural vs. the urban populations angry at each other, which in the end only detracts from trying to see how to make everything work together.

I wish we'd be smarter and stopped just being condescending towards the other group. The only ones actively benefitting from this divide are not well-intentioned people in my mind.

Reading that rant, the author did not seem to take much time to understand the rationale behind ES modules: “ yet for some completely unclear reason, ESM proponents decided to remove that property” is just pure ignorance.
I don't agree with the notion that the existence of a few mega-corps is a useful metric. Of course the US is the more free market, and allows those oligopolies to exist. The EU would have split up those companies years ago.
I used to work at the big investment banks for a long time. Around 2015 they began transitioning their native apps to web apps (mostly for high-touch trading), so VM based languages are very much used for initiating trades to various degrees, of course in the majority of the cases the actual FIX message gets created in some back-end running C++ or Java.

But there are exceptions, FIXParser was used to create the actual, real, over-the-wire FIX message to trade a trillion dollars in a couple of minutes by a large financial institution. And this is just one example I heard directly from the people involved. The library does not have any metrics/analytics so I can't actually know how much it's been used in the industry.
The large ITC providers also have offerings, e.g. Open Telekom Cloud, but they are targeting large industrial enterprises, not your plucky webapp.

I think Library APIs are a good example. I've found myself in the situation where I do not care about the string representation (or can convert in a few places if necessary), but need to provide an interface for others that is as frictionless as possible. My instinct there was to be generic and use From/To traits, but it never felt quite right.
> hus forcing EU to invest in their own tech & military, thus becoming a competitor to the US products.

Not sure how you made the jump here. EU is signalling increased military spending but there isn't really much talk about tech (beyond reddit-like enthusiasm which leads nowhere); which is funny because the top referrals for this site are .. american companies themselves.

That being said, increased spending doesn't necessarily guarantee results.
The US economy is now 50% larger than the EU's, as a result of this market freedom and enterprise growth.
I used to see it in Irma in Denmark.

The main argument in that post doesn't even hold; using ESM, you can always using dynamic imports:

await import( someExpression )

Besides, static analysis and tree shaking completely break down if modules impose side effects from being required, which is one of the main gripes of Python as well. ESM completely alleviates that.
It's not just about market valuations. That's just a proxy of overall productivity, where the US now has a 50% advantage over the EU.
To be clear, I don't mean that there is no good reason to have such a conversation. I'm just really curious how you can't start it ; in the middle of the millions of things that your average company has to do, how do you knock on your bosses's door and tell them:
"hey, you know that "cloud" thing that you have no idea how it works, but our whole business depend on ?

We're using the same as everyone else; but we're not sure we can trust US cloud anymore, so we want to try an unknown company from country-you-can't-place-on-a-map-either.

We'll have to spend several months of engineering and incurr tens of thousands of dollars of extra licenses to try and migrate our infra.

We have no way to be sure it will work.

The same is true to some extent for cars (Ford/Benz). LLMs will even answer differently depending on the language the question is asked.

Edit: I cannot actually reproduce this with the automobile question, but asking ChatGPT-4o about the inventor of TV yields different answers:

Asking in German yields Paul Nipkow and Philo Farnsworth, asking in English yields Philo Farnsworth and John Logie Baird

Asking about Radio inventors in German yields Maxwell, Hertz, Tesla, Marconi, Fessenden. In English it yields Marconi and Tesla.
> For instance, the cost of German Puma tanks was exploded by regulations requiring them to be able to safely carry pregnant soldiers without exposing their amniotic fluids to munitions fumes.

This sounds like the German version of the bendy bananas lie told to Brits about EU regulations, a lie enveloped around some small fact and overblown to look as ridiculous as possible.

Also, the Greens pushing for money to wean Germany off gas is probably quite good for national security, not directly military related but does help in 2nd order effects (less reliance on fossil fuels saves the German economy from being a hostage to cheap gas as well as helps keeping fuel for the military if the need arises).
