I am because my employer pays for it. I like it, but ACM probably is better. ACM often organize webinars that I really find insightful. For instance, the next one is "Succeeding with Large Scale Software Development Measurement Programs". Often these webinars are hosted by both academic and practitioners.

I actually had some issues with my old Revolut Mastercard with TfL. I asked them to check whether this was the case also with others, but no answer. I let this slip as I have plenty of other cards, but still.

After a couple of months, they acknowledged the issue and provided me a free new Revolut Visa. It still took about 2 months to get it in my hands, after having sent a couple of messages via Twitter.

I really like The Guardian. You can also pick different version between international/uk/us, so from that perspective you have plenty of choice.
