Not sure how a prenup is relevant given that she married Bezos in 1993 and Amazon didn't exist until 1994.

I did watch the entire season, I think Jodie Whitaker is a fantastic Doctor but wish the show had better/more consistent writers supporting her. I didn't care for the historical events episodes at all, too much Quantum Leap and not enough science fiction. BUT there were a few really great, what I consider true Doctor Who episodes like The Ghost Monmument, The Tsuranga Conundrum, Kerblam! and It Takes You Away.
They also make money from businesses that use G Suite.
And consumers that pay for extra online storage on Google drive (I do).
And Google Fi, their wireless cell service (I use this, too, sooo much better and cheaper than verizon).
And Google Fiber, their internet service (I don't use this but would if it was offered in my area).
I also use Google domains and pay for registration through them and Virus Total which Alphabet owns and is an invaluable free service.
So yeah, they sell ads, but they are not wholly dependent on clickbait revenue the way Facebook is.
...a reputable auditor verifies the source of data and process, reviewing evidence directly from the systems involved. This is standard for anything, it's why we have CPAs to ensure companies aren't cheating investors. If it's really true, then a third-party should be able to verify the results.
But it doesn't matter because Facebook obviously isn't interested in stopping any clickbait like fake news since they depend on the revenue it provides. If they were, they would simply create a whitelist of all reputable news sources which all share the same traits regardless of bias accusations: they have qualified editors and journalists (no, random bloggers who copy/paste/scrape news from the AP wire are not editors or journalists), do fact-checking and verify sources per journalism best practices, publish retractions/corrections as needed, and mark opinion pieces clearly as such. They can come up with whatever criteria they want to make the bar high enough to filter out the clickbait crap. It's really not that hard.
On a side note, I don't know why anyone believes anything that has more likes or followers (aka whenever something "goes viral") has more value since it's highly likely it's all being manipulated by paid spambots.
But how many of those users are just spam or fake bot accounts? Seems like once Facebook buys a company they essentially become yet another spam machine of whatever nonsense generates CTR (that's at best, at worst they help distribute malicious payloads).

"Dovetale said that, on average, 16.4 percent of the followers on Instagram’s top 20 accounts were fraudulent.
Sylo, which requires influencers to share access to their public and private post statistics, said it had rejected 77 percent of influencers who have tried to register on its platform after their accounts showed issues like abnormal spikes in engagement on posts or a large number of generic, emoji-laden comments that bots are known for."
...someone to say in order to protect its existence.

Once I saw that the latest version is iLO 5, I figured it had to be vulnerable to the same exploit as iLO 4 and sure enough:

"A security vulnerability in HPE Integrated Lights-Out 4, 5 (iLO 4 prior to v2.60, and iLO 5 prior to v1.30) could be remotely or locally exploited by an Administrative user to allow remote or local code execution."
Clearly, you don't know what it's like to have someone spam/harass you online with insults and threats because you had the audacity to determine you didn't want to be in a relationship with them anymore. I witnessed it happen firsthand to a close friend of mine, They had to block their ex online, change their cell phone number and file a restraining order.

Phew. The OP almost got me worried. I feel very much relieved now. Thanks a bunch for that!
Just watched What happened to Monday. In case you wonder: my nick was there before the movie and is in no way related. In fact, they got it all wrong, because I'm the answer to the question you're likely to ask yourself when waking up on a Tuesday around noon after a wild weekend. The movie? Very decent. Go see it. Have patience. No Blade Runner, but definitely worth a watch.

Many of the engineers agree with certain aspects of the original memo while respectfully debunking the logical fallacies it presented.
Enjoy.
"[...]Trump adopted a highly unusual defence, known as 'force majeure'. He claimed that the 2008 economic crisis was a 'once-in-a-century credit tsunami', an act of God that was equivalent to an earthquake.
Since it couldn't have been anticipated, and it wasn't his fault, he wasn't obliged to pay Deutsche anything. It wouldn't get the $40m or the outstanding $330m, his writ said.
He went further. Trump claimed Deutsche Bank had actually helped cause the crunch. Therefore it owed him. Trump demanded $3bn from Deutsche in compensation."
Some skills.
> Those of us that grew up under the constant pressure of instant annihilation from nuclear attack just don't get worked up over climate change that much.
Speak for yourself. Once you've pondered the aftermath of a nuclear war, you're more likely to realize what climate change is likely bringing in its wake.
> losing their shit that Trump is openly talking to Russia.
Oh come on. Let him talk; fact is that what he says means shit, it's what he does. People said we're doomed if Hillary won because you know, no fly zones!!!111!. Yea, I know, Reuters, yadda yadda. We have that "we're doomed!!!" clock and might well debate if it's any good and whose purpose it serves, but putting all thing aside, you need to admit that the world has not exactly become a safer place with Trump, albeit ubiquitous cries of "Hillary means WW3!!!!111".
