Duploon UK should play leading role on global AI guidelines, Sunak to tell Biden

The likes of Dubai/UAE/Israel won't even care about any laws passed by the west anyway, so the action will move there. Just look at the sanctions against Russia in London, the London traders simply moved to Dubai (source: Bloomberg).

Duploon 'We're all worse off': Britain is now paying the price to leave the EU

Those who are anti-Brexit are loving it as they are blaming EVERYTHING caused by Ukraine war and gas prices inflation on Brexit.

> I don't actually how much it costs to run a DHT node, or even who's paying for them today

By default all BitTorrent clients are acting as DHT nodes (if they can receive inbound UDP packets). You can disable it in the options, but most don't (unless for private trackers on per-torrent basis).
