Well, it was a tech article, and I simply commented that I'd done the "unexpected" almost 40 years ago...

It doesn't matter... I just pointed it out, just in case you had a lapsus. But if it was on purpose... ok

Are you sure you've got that conversion right? The methods return different values in quite a lot of cases.
const int MIN_YEAR = 1753;
const int MAX_YEAR = 2199;
for (int minYear = MIN_YEAR; minYear <= MAX_YEAR; minYear++)
for (int maxYear = minYear; maxYear <= MAX_YEAR; maxYear++)
{
int y1 = CountLeapYears1(minYear, maxYear);
int y2 = CountLeapYears2(minYear, maxYear);
if (y1 != y2) Console.WriteLine("({0}, {1}) :: {2} != {3}", minYear, maxYear, y1, y2);
}

"Tumblr and the End of the Eyeballs-Are-Everything Era" [^]Quote: The real scandal of Tumblr isn’t that it’s now worth a fraction of its former selling price. The scandal is that Tumblr was ever valued so highly at all. Having a very popular product and only the vaguest idea how to make money on it does not, it turns out, a world-changing business model make.
fyi: I've never used Tumblr, or Twitter, or InstaGram, etc. I started using FaceBook a few months ago, for business reasons, and I find it obnoxious.

Ditto on the Tumblr, Twitter and InstaGram, I have had FB longer but only because of family and Nam buddies. I find it annoying and even pushy at times like when you don't check it for a few days they hound you with "look what you missed" notifications.
I hope the $5 billion fine they got for privacy violations is just the tip of the iceberg.

Hopefully they (and others like them) get more of those, so it might make them re-think a bit on what and how they are doing

When Jupiter was still forming 4.5 billion years ago, something giant likely crashed into the planet and disrupted the process, according to a new study. “Two worlds collided, and they could never tear us apart”

If it comes from CNN, they probably made the story up, and are probably trying to find a way to blame Trump for the collision (because "collision" sounds a lot like "collusion").

Given that this happened in the early days of the Solar system (over 4 billion years ago), I fail to see how even CNN can blame President Trump for this.
OTOH, your average low-information voter may not know that.

Well,they're blaming trump for stuff obama did a few years ago, so if it happened MILLIONS of years ago, it's not a big stretch to blame trump for that, too.

Trump is just Satan in disguise (he still has some of that red-ish color), and Satan has been around for a very long time.
So yes, Trump's "Make Jupiter great again" campaign failed miserably and now he's giving the US of A the same treatment

That's not nearly nasty enough for a true Leftist. How about "Satan is Trump in disguise?"

I'll do you one nastier, Trump's mother was a hamster and his father smelled like elderberries!
Alright, that went to far and I'd like to apologize

I'm sure that the hamsters and elderberries are willing to accept such a gracious apology.

Well, that's one theory.
Another would be destructive weather (a several-times-the-size-of-the-Earth force 9,999,999 hurricane that's purportedly been going for over a million years could do that).
Yet another would be that the boundary between solids and fluids does not have to be a millimetre thick, at such pressures.
Another could be something to do with the viciously caustic, acidic substances that make up so much of the planet.
But no, let's go with the click-baitiest one.

Geeky license plate earns hacker $12,000 in parking tickets | Ars Technica[^]
Quote: Then, once a particular database of outstanding tickets had associated the license plate NULL with his address, it sent him every other ticket that lacked a real plate. The total came to $12,049 worth of tickets.
Quote: the private company that administers the database didn't fix the issue and new NULL tickets are still showing up.

A survey by Slack found that meetings have diminishing returns, companies need to outline strategy once a month and there's a race to keep employees aligned with goals. My alignment is Chaotic Good
Yes. I would love to hear the corporate strategy monthly. Please book a company-wide meeting regularly to remind us that we need to work harder.

Well, at least it lets us see why slack is so awful -- it's made by idiots.
