Faithless - God Is a DJ[^]
Currently enjoying my two week Christmas break, but a legend passed away last week so I'm coming out of hibernation to pay my due respects.
Maxi Jazz, singer of Faithless, passed away due to illness.
God Is A DJ was my first Faithless song and probably their second most popular song (after Insomnia).
The crowd at Pinkpop 1999 in The Netherlands caused an earthquake when they all jumped to Faithless 
Too bad an ex-coworker kind of ruined it for me when he said "This is my church, this is where I hurt my heels." 
RIP legend Maxi Jazz.

…whilst honeymooning in Australia. Reports say he didn't suffer for too long as he'd only
been married 5 days.
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

I was lucky enough to see them before they retired.
A very entertaining night and got to meet them after the show. They were selling their own merchandise and spent ages talking to them.

Highly recommended reading: Bill Bryson: In a sunburned country[^] (original/UK title: Down Under).
A handful of quotes:
"What about sharks?" I asked uneasily.
"Oh, there's hardly any sharks here. Glenn, how long has it been since someone was killed by a shark?"
"Oh, ages," Glenn said, considering, "Couple of months, at least."
That is what a crocodile attack is like, you see – swift, unexpected, extremely irreversible.
Then, furtively poking about on the bottom was a reef shark – only a couple of feet long but capable of giving you a jolly good nip.
"If you're out in the bush and a snake comes along, just stop dead and let it slide over your shoes."
This, I decided, was the least-likely-to-be-followed advice I had ever been given.
"And what does that mean exactly?"
"Pain beyond description followed shortly by muscular paralysis, respiratory depression, cardiac palpitations and a severe disinclination to boogie."

He couldn't have been a lawyer - they don't eat their own kind do they? :P

Actually, they do - so definitely not good news for the shark.

I laughed, sought out my wife, and told her, laughing all the while.

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!" - Hunter S Thompson - RIP

I wrote a Windows Form to download stock data using Web API, but the data provider stipulates that the connection is limited only to 5 minutes for a session to download data.
How can I continuously download the stock data for a large number of stock symbols?

You're going to have to have that discussion with whoever you're getting that information from.
...and you're probably going to have to pay for for it too.

I've had a similar problem problem before. Check if you can use RFC7233/RFC9110 range requests if the webserver supports it. Pause your download before the 5 minute mark. Take note of how many bytes you have downloaded and resume the download on a later connection beginning at that offset. You can use curl to test if the remote server supports range requests.

I assume they mean historical trade data of past years which is usually a huge archive. Surely they weren't asking about real-time data.

your assumption is correct
