#CBSE Schools in #Kerala, India, conduct an entrance test to admit to 11th grade; they do not believe the certificate issued by CBSE to the students in 10th grade, what an irony.

Hey President Donald J. Trump, why the new tax on remittances? πŸ€” H1B workers like myself came here to work hard & provide. We already pay taxes & contribute to 401ks. Shouldn't we have the right to send our earned money where we choose? Feels like a bait-and-switch! #H1B #RemittanceTax #Fairness

Mac mini vs AWS for an always-on bot β€” real cost math πŸ‘‡

I compared running an always-on internal bot (like clawdbot):
β€’ $1,000 Mac mini at home
β€’ β€œEquivalent” AWS Linux instance (24/7)
The numbers surprised me.

Takeaway Always-on + steady workloads β†’ local hardware wins on cost AWS wins for elastic scaling, uptime, or bursty usage Data egress is the silent cloud tax most miss Just economics. How are you deciding this in 2026? #CloudComputing #AWS #DevOps #AIInfrastructure #SystemDesign
