Meanwhile Mr POTUS himself wants to introduce prop betting in his social media platform.
Don’t expect anything to change anytime soon

iirc the Times ranking has always been garbage as it weighs some "student experience" metric way too high. Do I really care about the result of some online survey equally or more than the academic achievement of the staff?
Back when I chose a UK university to attend, I valued the QS ranking much higher.

I’ve never agreed with a title and then disagreed with the content more than this article.
Jokes on you, I care a lot about my work and can still get it done in 5 hours a day.

Calling TNG a lab is a bit funny to me. It’s a consulting company that lets people hack on stuff between placements.
I'm not surprised about 90% of savings. I remember that initially AWS was promoted everywhere as being "cheaper" than your own hardware, colocation or VPS/VDS hosting.
Once I was working in a quite small company (around 100 employees) that hosted everything on AWS. Due to high bills (it's a small company that resided in Asia) and other problems, I migrated everything to DigitalOcean (we still used AWS for things like SES), and the monthly bill for hosting became like 10 times lower. With no other consequences (in other words, it haven't become less reliable).
I still wonder who calculated that AWS is cheaper than everything else. It's definitely one of the most expensive providers.
My memory might be off here but wasn’t the initial AWS "cheaper" promise only made vs buying & maintaining your own hardware?

I'm surprised they don't just inject the ads directly into the video stream, I think that would solve their issue overnight (not that I want any ads personally). You could also rate-limit it to the playback speed to prevent pre-downloading the stream easily. But now that everything uses HLS/DASH, it's easy to inject different content right in the middle of the stream without re-encoding anything.
It has to be a cost thing. HLS is so insanely optimised down to the hardware level that adding any kind of compute for targeting would increase costs exponentially.
I’m not too deep into it anymore but there’s some great articles from Netflix out there talking about the crazy optimisations done to their edge servers for streaming.
Using a 11 year old laptop isn't the reason you're able to spend $30k+ on travel over an 18 month period. Including that is like when people say "stop buying Starbucks if you want to buy a house." There are typically other circumstances are involved, even a $8 coffee every day is only $3,000 a year. That isn't make or break for getting a mortgage.
I mean true, fair point but OP asked what I spent my money on and it’s travel, as described.
Could I also buy a new laptop? Yeah sure, but I don’t because I don’t value it as much.
Food and (international) travel almost exclusively.
Currently on the third $10k+ trip with my wife in 18 months but don’t have a car and am still using my laptop from 2014. Main reason is that I feel like I have my whole life to buy X or Y but only have the time and energy to travel long distances while young.
Not difficult to see why when both parties have implemented policies that have become very unpopular with the masses. You're not gonna win voters on "let them eat cake" policies when the no. 1 concern of voters is keeping their job and affording the ever increasing bills.
Both left and green parties have been writing cheques that the working class had to cash, so now they're experiencing the backlash consequences of their actions. It's just democracy at work.
They need to "git gud" and give the people what they want if they want votes. It's really not rocket science, but self reflection seems to be heavily lacking in politics due to how detached the ruling class are from the working class.
