The sun doesn't need to reach all the way to the surface. It just needs to penetrate far enough that when it's absorbed and the energy radiates back as heat, it can't escape the atmosphere. Hawking was probably right, that's Venus in a nutshell.
Sad to see him pass.  The world is definitely poorer now.

Apart from VB6 (which has its unique advantages, most of the problem is our codebase) I am very happy since I prefer C (with a hint of ++) and Assembler to most languages/frameworks/whatever. I like the gritty details and I like working on science or pure engineering. Algorithms, drivers, pieces of OS... that is my ideal environment!

Targeting the stupid.
Yesterday I saw a TV commercial for "bronze cut" pasta. As though this makes it somehow better.[^] Fortunately, the box is from the Barilla Artisan series and once you put 'artisan' on it it's got to be worth the extra cost!
The link will emphasize the gibbering idiots that come up with excuses for it being different. My favorite? It's dried slower when it's bronze cut. Another notes the ingredients - which are the same as so many other pastas.
Placebo effect grand mal.
The successful business model is still well established in the proverbial: "A fool and his money are soon parted".

As a matter of fact, it is better.

Surprisingly, no: when you use a bronze die instead of Teflon or steel, you get a rougher, more porous surface, to which the sauce "clings" better - more surface area, and easier for capillary action.
As a result Bronze Cut Pasta tastes better!

In the end, it all looks the same
I think one of the greatest marketing hoaxes of all time is "bottled water".

I know what you mean, but ... it depends where you live.
Live here, and the tap water is great! We buy bottled water only when the mains blows and we haven't stored any.
Live in London? Oh dear ...

Agreed. But there have been investigations of companies bottling tap water, marking it up 1000% and selling. I'm seriously in the wrong business.
Of course, I don't live in Flint Michigan...

Dysani, for example, clearly says on the bottle "filtered water" and it is filtered tap water (A Nestle product, if I recall). There are others.
Some years ago, when the fad was in its infancy, a blind test was done with various bottled waters and NY City tap water. The tap water was not only the purest of the lot but almost invariably the best tasting. Not that big a surprise, really, as it comes from the mountains.*
* What could make a mess of it is old pipes and other uncontrollables.

I bought a tap filter and the quality of water is now indistinguishable from bottled water. Which for me is a big advanage for three reasons:
1) I live at 4th floor without elevators, bringing home boxes of bottled water is something I can live better without the need for it;
2) Me and my wife do grocery a couple of times a month and end up with 7-8 huge bags of stuff. In a city car. There isn't the space nor the will to make additional travels downstairs for water;
3) It costs less than the cheapest water I ever found.
