Makes one wonder who funded the study, how much cherry picking they did on the data, etc.

Running things in the cloud can be more about capability than cost.

Many cloud offerings provide capabilities that would take months/years to budget and spin up internally. Some capabilities, such as burst computing or east-coast / west-coast redundancy may also be out-of-reach or infeasible to offer "on prem".

Some offerings, such as low-administration SaaS may also offer cost savings.

Personally, I'm more interested in Netflix's DVD library than their ephemeral and/or walled-garden streaming content. Dropped Netflix streaming some time ago, but kept the DVD subscription.

Could be it's not a faithful adaptation, or deviates too far from the purported source material.

The Tolkien Untangled YouTube channel has been building up an expansive "How The Rings of Power Should Have Been Written (to make them Tolkenian)" playlist that illustrates one way a faithful adaptation could have been done.

I think it's true that humans are well-adapted for intermittent fasting. There are different possible ways to do it, such as a 16/8 pattern, 20/4 pattern, one meal a day, skip a day here and there, etc. Fasting has shown better effects than a calorie restriction diet. Much of human evolutionary history was spent in a state of semi starvation, with varying periods of feast and famine, so our bodies can generally tolerate it pretty well.

Doesn't Windows itself use open source code? Linux subsystem? Code derived from the BSD network stack?

... and people tend to only remember the things that didn't work.

Arctic warming weakens the jet stream, and a weakened jet stream can make it more likely the polar vortex will migrate into the mid latitudes.

That's one possible way it can be cold (in Texas) because of warming.

Thinking about it further, a similarly constructed study of just about any anti-psychotic drug might yield a similar "conclusion".

The article indicates the study was not sufficiently powerful to correct for "correlated factors".

If they could drink milk, maybe they wouldn't have needed to kill each other..

By current estimates, the pandemic spread in the U.S. is roughly 9 days behind that in Italy.

Vortex Bladeless is an emerging alternative (to turbines) technology for generating electric power from wind:

While walking out of the theater, I'd have said it was ok.

After thinking about it a while, I'd have said it's not among the top 5 or 6 Star Wars movies.

Now, I'm inclined to agree, it's worse than the prequels.
