There's an expansion port on the front with a camera interface, so you could add on better AR cameras.

The finances work the other way around: you can often pay your transit/upstream providers an additional fee for their DDOS protection/filtering service, where you can signal (via BGP or otherwise) that there's traffic you don't want to receive. BGP Flowspec (or similar) is one of the technologies used here.

DWDM tech improvements have outpaced nearly every other form of technology growth, so the same single pair of fiber that used to carry 10 Mbps can now carry 20 Tbps, which is a 2,000,000x multiplier. The same somewhat-fixed supply of fiber can go a very long way today, so the price pressure for access is less than you might expect.

Depending on the streaming protocol (eg WARP), you can specify that the tracks (audio vs video) need to be time-aligned, so each group (chunk of video or audio) starts at the same time and lasts the same length. I think this means you'll get resync'd at the start of the next group.

They're also working with a ton of remote and disparate organizations (ISPs), so locality is probably not as important.

Supply and demand aren’t perfectly measurable values.

Supply and demand change all the time, and can even shift while you’re in school, or over the 40+ expected years of most careers.

Telling someone to pick a career where demand > supply forever is impossible because if you believe in the market, supply will rise to meet demand.

One note: not all IP addresses are handled by RIPE/ARIN/etc. There are legacy allocations which are not subject to any agreements and are the property of the owners.

A10 actually lists the number of FPGAs in their mitigation appliances for sizing purposes.

"Select Thunder TPS models have high-performance FPGA-based Flexible Traffic Acceleration (FTA) technology to detect and mitigate up to 60 common attack vectors immediately in hardware — before data CPUs are involved. "

Sorry, that's probably the wrong word for it. I meant the vibe of "Patrick really wanted me to change this, so I did, but not quite how he had envisioned".
