The just released 'the Dirty Truth' report from antibacterial LED tech creators Vital Vio found the average smartphone is regularly exposed to strep, E. coli, and fecal staph-strains. Is it lunch time yet?
Yes, a marketing study.

Why else would you go to the bathroom?

Even worse, some people put their phones down on their desks, which multiple studies have shown to be far more unsanitary than toilets.

I learned about how toilet bactaria gets all over things years ago.
So I de-cloth completely before going into the bathroom. Do my business then take a full shower. Leave into the decontamination room for secondary clean, before leaving the bathroom to put cloths back on.
Then once a month any used cloths are burned. Can't trust washing machines nowadays.

Words matter. They affect the way we think about things. When something is mislabeled, or we use an inappropriate metaphor, it can lead to lots of misconceptions down the road as people try to reason about it with the mental model in their head that the name invokes. Yes, please

In fact I’ve never seen any published paper that shows any correlation between the two. Would love to read it if someone has it

Amazon Web Services CEO Andy Jassy put the company’s neighboring tech giant directly in his sights here Tuesday morning, criticizing Microsoft’s licensing practices and making it clear that Amazon is going directly after the Redmond company’s core business. Can I get my next enterprise network on two day shipping?

I was going to say: With the quantity of pissed off users that are overall, it might even be successfull.
Then I opened the article.Quote: “You see this return to the ways of old from Microsoft where they’re not prioritizing what matters to you guys, the customers,” Jassy said in his opening keynote at the AWS re:Invent conference. “People are sick and tired of being pawns in this game.” It was so obvious that they were going to attack them using it

In a recent study titled Usage and Attribution of Stack Overflow Code Snippets in GitHub Projects, an answer I wrote almost a decade ago was found to be the most copied snippet on Stack Overflow. Ironically it happens to be buggy. Copy/Paste considered harmful

The article itself is pretty interesting, the best part is the end though:
Quote: Key Takeaways
Stack Overflow snippets can be buggy, even if they have thousands of upvotes.
Test all edge cases, especially for code copied from Stack Overflow.
Floating-point arithmetic is hard.
Do include proper attribution when copying code. Someone might just call you out on it.

Go to CP, instead.
