Don't jump on the next bandwagon of "Birds Aren't Real" or "Helen Keller is a Fraud". It's too easy and passive to be a faux denier.

It's much more creative and joyful to generate something from nothing, even if you only added a little bit.

It's 21st Centuray "Stone Soup"

BEES! NOT THE BEES!

I understand non-man-made can be weather effects, optical illusions, glitches in human perception, unexplained atmospheric physics, etc. But they did they use the language "threats to the United States national security are expanding exponentially"? Threat? Really? Even an alien spaceship stealing a cow is not a "threat".

Learn from magazines. 70% off for one-year, paid upfront. Invest the money to earn interest. Sure, one can consume all the content from the last time they subscribed in 3 months. Cancel then, and you'll still be ahead. But the rest of the year might then still be cheap enough to hold on to it. Just in case.

Incentives. Keep accruing steadily better and better rewards the longer you stay subbed. And not just free additional months. Partner with other vendors to grant coupons with them. Accrue points to spend at a merch store. Give something that can be obtained by someone constantly hopping off.

Omnipotent ... yet vulnerable. Okay?

Monetize it. For every ticket written from your footage, you get 10% cut.

Can we please fact check this from the summary:

so-called "Cosby Suite" because the executive who worked there had earned a reputation for unwanted sexual advances.

I've read an account that it was dubbed The Cosby Suite because of the resemblance between the room's decor and Cosby's choice in sweaters. It was dubbed this years before allegations were publicly made against Cosby, hence they couldn't have possibly attributed it to behavior Cosby was ultimately jailed for.

True, the reputation of the Blizzard exec was already cemented by then and known by his enablers in that photo. But it's still unethical journalism if they spread misinformation about the origin story.

If human life or massive lawsuits aren't on the line, no one wants to foot the bill for reasonably correct, fully tested software. It's feature, feature, feature, feature, and I want it yesterday. If you draw a line in the sand, your competitor paws in the client's ear the lie he wants to hear, and you lose the client's business.

All the English classes I took in college had almost nothing to do with how to write or effectively communicate. It was all analyzing literature.

I believe Java is the same way.

Yes, but no, but yes. You don't have to explicitly import java.lang classes. So it can feel like they are built-ins. But they are indeed in a package (even if it's a built-in package), so you win.

Why do journalists always report that companies' response to a cloud outage is to dial it straight to 11 and go to multicloud? I've yet to read about a major cloud outage with a splash radius beyond a single region. Try multiregion, first. It'll be way cheaper.

I usually only hear about multicloud when it comes to splitting out workloads. Example: company much prefers cloud A, but cloud B has this neat feature cloud A doesn't have for this one part of their pipeline. Another Example: company much prefers cloud A, but cloud B can handle TBs of object storage for way cheaper.

The deeper message is to tell newcomers to skip the first episode and continue with the rest. So many recommendees get so turned off by the first episode, they abandon the show and miss out on all the fun.

The pilot's arm is really, really, really, really long. The pilot and fuel were much closer to the UFO than the wristwatch at the end of his 65-mile-long arm flailing behind him. So of course his watch experienced less dilation. Duh!

Boston drivers?!?! holup

Humans didn't live in caves en masse. It's just the ones who did were a lot more likely to leave behind preserved artifacts and remains.
