I've been using Colab for over a year now. I train deep learning models on NLP and medical imaging datasets.

It's a great tool and it lets you focus on the code and the models, instead of the hardware and OS. But $9.99/month is a little expensive for my taste.

You can't customize it and if they change something you have to install software by hand sometimes. It should be $1.99/month, that's the kind of price I'd pay for this basic cloud computing service.

edit: I use Colab to play with ML models. I really don't think it's possible, for instance, to train a model on Imagenet using Colab. So Colab is similar to the microwave, if you want to cook a serious recipe you should use a real kitchen.

Google Docs is having some issues too.

It's low in terms of the Yuan's purchase power vis a vis the US dollar.

So the Chinese need more Yuan to buy the same products/services from the US. And in contrast, Americans need less US dollars to buy the same products/services from China.

Google Colaboratory is back. At least I can access my github's notebooks and public notebooks from google drive.

I took a quick look at the full report (linked in the comments), and I think the data shown in the visualization might not be 100% accurate.

The visualization is good, IMHO there's a lot of room for improvement though. There's a big issue which undermines the credibility of the whole report:

- Venezuela has a Cantril Ladder value of 6.2577.

That's very strange to say the least, and it's hard to believe to be honest. Venezuelans are one of the most unhappy, miserable people in the world.
