... more customers so they must increase prices? This seems backwards from how scale usually works.

The price increase ratios are also different across product lines. * Cloud (VMs): 38% * Bare metal: 15% * Memory add-on for bare metal: 575% (effective immediately) It feels like memory add-on is intentionally set high to discourage customers from adding more memory.

Can you expound on that? I'm not sure I get what you're implying.
Pretty sure they are implying that the actions of the current president/administration are causing people to re-evaluate US dependencies. I don't really understand the first half
Ahh, the sales rep is Trump, that makes sense, thank you. I thought Jacques meant they had lobbyists somehow.

Low is better than nothing.
Low yields means their production can cost more than they sell it for, which is not sustainable. They have to have yields good enough that they can make money, otherwise the government is just subsidizing a give away, which is fine if they don’t export them but wouldn’t make sense if they do.
China has plenty of money to subside low yields while they improve their technology.

#156This mirrors the increased costs of people who already space + power in a DC, and want to buy new machines to fill their racks. Everybody is being hit.

That's where capitalism-with-Chinese-characteristics comes into play, since the CCP knows it's a capacity they want to get some independence from the government creates incentives to develop it until it becomes self-sustainable.
They have a strategic goal which the government will support while at the same time letting competition do its thing, it's a step above from what other governments used to do with government-backed R&D that would eventually be developed by the private sector into products.
Not sure why other countries aren't adopting this model adapted to their own needs, seems very effective so far. Well, I'm not sure but have a big hunch it's the usual big business blocking it since it'd create more competition in a more level playing field.

Yeah, not sure where they're getting those from.
From the Robot UI, I tried ordering a new EX44 or EX63:
- EX63 comes with 64 GB DDR5 by default, can be upgraded to 192 GB DDR5 ECC for added €42.35
- EX44 comes with 64 GB by default, can be upgraded to 128 GB DDR4 Non-ECC for added € 16.94 max. per month

#159If you just want an app server pick up an hp elitedesk off ebay and a ups and run it on your home inet connection.
Note: your ISP might cut your account, and this might violate your home insurance contract — depending on jurisdiction.
At least where I live there’s a stupid amount of red tape for these things.
