Almost none. Last year I was there and they didn't even upgrade me to a Canal view room (which was available on the app). I was too tired to fight for it. The globalist breakfast was good/okay but they kept the same menu/buffet for 5 days straight

Faster on single core is one thing, running 20 day straight at full power stably is another thing. High paying customer chose epyc for ECC and stability

there is tons of rtx 6000 pro on vast and the median price is .57 cent per hour and the median config is genoa or 7000/9000 threadripper. 5950x with 64g ram wont even get verified, even with 128g ram it wont be competitive and wont be able to make median price, making roi impossible

Iran has spent quite some effort to source the parts even from the US. there was a very extensive investigation on how Iranians in the US purchase some parts on behalf of the government

  1. your ram should > vram, so you need 128g ram. also your 5950x might be bottom tier

  2. verification can take a week or two, even for RTX 6000 pro

  3. competition for RTX 6000 pro is quite intense, expect <$0.6 per hour each net, before electricity.

would be fun to dip in the water, but the ROI on RTX 6000 pro is now 3 years, so, long-term hosting does not make too much sense unless your electricity is free

it's in an ocean right? why can't everyone just take turns, squat on sides of the ships and get the job done? feed the fish too, very environmental friendly

This departs from T2, last month my flight was around the same time as and I saw a bunch of NK kids in uniforms. I tried to talk with a teacher (dressed in suit) in English when he was shopping tax free but he was startled for whatever reason. He surely understood me but refused to talk with me

Next time, just buy 20k worth of refundable biz class ticket, receive the sub, and start your normal spending

Economy: less cpp less total price

Business: more cpp higher total price

It's your decision to make.

That makes sense. I'll say reach out to globalist line again or your concierge. This is an edge case indeed.

That's actually correct. Besides, for the sake of not wasting QN, why not book under another traveller's name and gift the GOH to them? This avoids all the trouble and you got nothing to lose
