    I’d honestly love to just plug in every night instead of having to spend time getting gas every week. Sure it’s only a few minutes, but that’s probably a few hours of my life every year. Getting an electric vehicle and renting cars for road trips would honestly make much more sense for me.

    Unfortunately, it looks like it’d be financially irresponsible for me to buy an electric car right now while I still have a perfectly functional ICE car.

    I make a 9-10 hour drive to see my family multiple times a year. I normally stop twice to get gas and use the bathroom, and that’s it. Sounds like you’d be adding most of an hour to my travel time each way. I’ve tried stopping longer and grabbing food, it’s not worth it for me.

    With that said, I drive 25-40 miles a day the other 360+ days of the year, so it’d really make much more sense for me to have a short range EV and rent something for travel when I have too much luggage to fly.


  • Look up how HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) works. They just need to generate a personalized playlist for each person which points at things already hosted on CDN, and insert the ads where they want in the literal text file that your video player reads from to serve you the video.

    I don’t know much about it, but it looks like there’s specific tags designed for dynamic ad insertion. Idk if YouTube plans to use them in this case though, if they want it to be undetectable to the client.
