Former Cowboys draft target, 30 visitor and local kid heading to jail
The Cowboys were hot and heavy for receivers leading up to the 2023 draft, but a top local target has run afoul of the law since being in the NFL.

View of a beautiful high alpine valley with the lower parts covered in larch forest, the trees in beautiful autumn colors, higher up patches of dried grass and mountain dwarf pines among talus fields and steep large rocky peaks. Clear azure hazy sky. The silhouettes of some tree branches in the foreground are framing the scene left/right.

Ahhhw today three years ago in #scotland : a view over #LochLomond
I even blogged about it back then: …

This image captures a breathtaking and expansive landscape, showcasing the serene beauty of a vast, open vista. The foreground features a rugged, grassy hillside with patches of exposed rock, adding texture and a sense of wildness to the scene. A faint path can be seen winding its way through the grass, inviting exploration. Beyond the hillside, the landscape opens up to reveal a stunning view of a large lake or body of water. The lake is dotted with several small islands, their green surfaces…

Bears could cut ties with 25-year-old playmaker who could garner interest from Cowboys and Packers
A 2023 draft pick of the Chicago Bears could get cut by the team ahead of the season, and if he hits the market, the Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers could have interest to address a need.

Who suffers when education aid falls?  - World Education Blog
Last year, the GEM Report warned that, by 2027, aid to education could fall by around a quarter from its peak in 2023. This was a projection based on donor announcements at the time. One year later, new evidence from donors shows that the drop is likely to be even sharper at 30%.

A bona fide financial crisis has not broken out since the US housing meltdown of 2007.
Even the Covid pandemic and subsequent upsurge in inflation didn’t lead to financial upheaval.
The jitters produced by the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank in 2023 were soon forgotten.
Given this stability, it might take some effort to convince financial markets that another big one is around the corner.
But it is.
Financial markets and their regulating governments may believe …

The world is heading toward a financial crisis – the state of US politics has left us ill-prepared
Trump’s second term has revealed that Washington’s policy response to such a crisis will be misguided and full of chaos

Serverless Functions Post-Mortem
Around 2016, the term "serverless functions" started to take off in the tech industry. In short order, it was presented as the undeniable future of infrastructure. It's the ultimate solution to redundancy, geographic resilience, load balancing and autoscaling. Never again would we need to patch, tweak or monitor an application.
