"Getting" loopy? That cow's been out of the barn for a while now.

Cybercriminals are abusing Stack Overflow in an interesting approach to spreading malware—answering users' questions by promoting a malicious PyPi package that installs Windows information-stealing malware. Beware of geeks bearing gift tips

That's quite a liberal definition of "temporary"!

The built-in business messaging service in Google Maps and Search will stop working in July. Step 1: don't tell anyone about features. Step 2: cancel feature. Step 3: Profit?

You skipped a step: feeling smug. But I can't tell if it is 1, 2, 3, or 4 or (1 and 3, and 5 and 7). I'm leaning toward the latter.

I bet no businesses knew about it either.

With a billion chicken pecking at screens, there will always be some that beat the financial analysts.
Every year there are at least a couple of weather soothsayers that can boost: Look! That is exactly what I said in March!
The soothsayers are new every year, only occasionally is there a return. You certainly see the same wiseman ten years in a row saying "Look what I said!". (Unless, of course, if his prophesy was like "We will have some sun and some rain, and there will be wind on the coast.")

An adjustment to the famous Drake Equation could radically refine estimates of intelligent civilizations in our galaxy. Drake was an optimist?
|
|
|
|
|
But just in case the updated formula is wrong, we've still got water...
|
|
|
|
|
Just remember, none of the terms in the Drake equation are zero or we wouldn't be here. On the other hand, maybe one of them is zero because as a species we certainly aren't intelligent.

This brings to mind graffiti:
Q: Is there intelligent life on Earth?
A: Yes, but I'm just visiting
All terms of the Drake equation are therefore still non-zero.

I can't remember the man's name. Black guy went on Joe Rogan and said a bit of crazy.
But poking some of the info, he's one of the only other people I've heard say that 0 does not exist. That's been my tinfoiliest of hats theory for a good bit. Even further, integers don't really "exist". Some cultures reflect that. All apples aren't the same, so basically, what's the point in counting them. At least, I think that's their take.
If the perfection of integers is an abstraction that isn't actually any part of the observable world, I think it's possible they're both the best and worst things mathematics has. Like it tangled itself up there early on and that's limited us or something.

The Drake equation is made up with no supporting evidence. We have a sample size of one.
