The Mission Impossible Deniability License (MIDL) is shorter:
As always, should you or any of your team discover or be blamed for a bug in this code, the author will disavow any knowledge of said code. This code will destruct you application in five/ten seconds. Good luck, The Author

That is a great license. 
Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

Booby-trapped archive files can exploit vulnerabilities in a swath of software to overwrite documents and data elsewhere on a computer's file system – and potentially execute malicious code. Path traversal flaws could lead to data mangling, code execution – so patch now

Do you have an application that needs a lot of memory? Maybe as much as 12 terabytes of memory? Well, you’re in luck because Microsoft Azure will soon offer virtual machines with just that much RAM, based on Intel’s Xeon Scalable servers. Microsoft is also launching a new 192 GB machine that extends the lower end of Hana-optimized machines on Azure

12 Teras of RAM? 
I don't have that in normal storage...

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

If you ignore losses due to raid deduplification I've got that much in a single box (2x6tb HDDs in my NAS) and lot more total that's live.
Even factoring that in I'm all the way there counting USB drives. 6tb NAS (RAID 1 equivalent), 1 TB main desktop (SSD), 1-2TB laptop and other 2 old desktop/semi-headless compute boxes (not sure exactly what the old drives in the latter 2 are). 1 or 2 3 TB drives and 1 or 2 1.5 TB in USB enclosures for 6 or 7.5 TB total (these're old NAS drives, and one died so I only have 3 of them in total but I don't recall which size it was). That's 14-16.5TB total. 
Next year's New NAS Project will probably have 10-18 TB of usable capacity (2x10 to 4x6 TB drives); depending on what my storage need estimates for the following half dozen years look like. A lot of that will probably be driven by how efficient whatever my replacement for WHS backups is.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

One of the surprises from AMD’s first year of the newest x86 Zen architecture was the launch of the Threadripper platform. *AMD looks at Intel Cinebench score* "OK let's leave that bit out this time."

I would really like to give a machine like that a try. I have one coming now with two chips, twenty cores each, so that will mean eighty threads and I will use them all.

Today's IPython comes with integrated libraries that turn it into an assistant for several advanced computing tasks. We will look at two of those tasks, using multiple languages and distributed computing, in this article. There is more to IPython than just a more convenient read-eval-print loop (REPL).

We’ve heard the feedback, so lets use this issue to come up with a new name for this project. As we all know, folks from Microsoft don’t have a rich tradition of picking super awesome names for things. I'm no exception to that pattern, so I was thinking we could all put some sensible suggestions into this issue. I’ll then compile a short list and then we’ll all get to vote on the new name. They said we can't suggest names like "PoopVFS." I guess I can't help.

Facebook Inc (FB.O) said Tuesday it has data sharing partnerships with at least four Chinese companies including Huawei, the world’s third largest smartphone maker, which has come under scrutiny from U.S. intelligence agencies on security concerns. So I tell Facebook, Facebook tells Huawei, who does Huawei tell?

Microsoft was not alone in chasing GitHub, which it agreed to acquire for $7.5 billion on Monday. Representatives from Alphabet's Google were also talking to the company about an acquisition in recent weeks, according to people familiar with the deal talks. Would that have been better, or worse?

They are the lesser of the two evils as far as I am concerned.
-edit- I meant Google is the lesser, AFAIAC.

Yep. I don't think MS would try to prevent things in the repository from being used in software they disapprove of. I wouldn't put it past Google, though.

Microsoft has placed a data center in the Scottish sea to determine whether it can save energy by cooling it in the sea. "Let's put the servers in water." I wish I was in the meeting where this guy piped up.

Does not seem like much point in going to 2019 from what is said in the link. Seems like this one should be free for what little it appears to offer.
