China attacks random IP addresses more than that. Try it for yourself: register a domain, put up a web site, and see how many attempts are made every day, probably in the hundreds.
Think about what happened in that time period. There was no way the current administration was going to let this project go forward with requirements from the previous administration. Hope and change.
Sports over the web (preferably on demand) would be far better than buying cable packages that are padded with garbage. Maybe netflix, maybe YouTube or ESPN, someone will win the next bidding war.
True, you can't "abuse" it. Obviously the carriers didn't anticipate how many people would store huge amounts of data. I find it hard to believe that anyone needs to store terabytes of data in a cloud, but apparently some store that much because it was "free". The carriers have responded by sun setting the plan.
The only thing that keeps them alive is lack of broadband to some viewers. Once the infrastructure is completed the only way to watch TV will be over the web.
You cannot assume that web sites which don't tell you what CMS they use are either not using one or that 25% of them are using WordPress. All you can conclude is that 25% of Web Sites reporting a CMS use WordPress.
Furthermore, the statistic is meaningless since it doesn't say how much web traffic reaches those sites. It wouldn't surprise me a bit to learn that the vast majority of them are one or two page vanity sites that don't get any traffic at all (other than the occasional bot)
nventor of dynamite never intended it to be used to kill people
Not true at all. Nobel was one of the biggest armament manufacturers and merchants of the nineteenth century. As he got older he felt guilty about all the people who were being killed as a result of his inventions and business so he turned to philanthropy.
Why would a corporation threaten some OSS developer? It just doesn't scan and seems like BS.
It depends on what was meant by "corporation". It sounds like some hotshot millennial who started his own Next Big Thing and thinks he owns the world. The best response to that type is "Don't hit yourself with the door on the way out".
Corporations are almost certainly the biggest consumers and supporters of open source. I would be very surprised if he ever got any money from hobbyists.
So how do you drive down the time and cost to market?
That's not the solution. The solution is to keep the new antibiotics in reserve and only use then when absolutely necessary, and then be absolutely sure they are used correctly. Most of the problem is giving people a new drug when their particular infection could be treated by an older drug, or not giving them enough of the drug, or not giving it to them long enough. The Centers for Disease Control are all over this problem but it will take a while to change behavior.
The rest of the world wants the US pharmaceutical companies to develop the new drugs so they can be sold in the US at a high price and dumped elsewhere.
It wouldn't be right for people in other countries to bear the actual cost of developing the drugs they use.
The best example of all is carrying "goodwill" as value. Remember when AOL wrote off $99 Billion ? Their "value" dropped, but absolutely nothing changed.
I incorporate, issue 1000 shares, put one share up for sale and buy it for $10,000. You are saying my company has a value of $10,000,000? Because that's essentially how dotcom IPOs work.
It's a publicly listed company with 676,300,000 shares outstanding which are being bought and sold
How many of those shares are actually being traded? Typically in an IPO the company issues millions of shares but only makes a few available for trading (perhaps 1% of the total), then hypes itself to try and drive up demand for the relatively few shares available. If twitter really did dump almost 700M shares on the market it's unlikely they could sell them.

Most of them finish on budget and schedule. But you never hear about those, you only hear about the fiascoes.

How do they abuse an offer of 'unlimited'?

This doesn't change the point of WordPress being used on 25% of all websites.
WordPress is used on 25% of the 59% of sites that the bot could detect. You cannot extrapolate anything beyond that.

Yes, but those don't pretend to be sciences.
SpaceX happily flies a rocket with 9 engines and will likely be able to reuse its first stage in a cost effective way.
I'll believe that when I see it. IMHO air breathing planes will never replace solid fuel boosters to get through the atmosphere.
It's a business for those who own prime (valuable) land.
No, it isn't. Conservation Reserve is for marginal land, and it doesn't pay any better than renting to a farmer. Good land goes for higher prices.
popularly known as the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences
Economists like to call it that. But Alfred Nobel had more sense than to give a prize for hand waving.
Not really. Oculus VR had a working prototype before they launched their kickstarter. These guys raised money based on vapor.
People won't want to spend an extra hour per day commuting.

Use my awesome statistics background to make book on who will win?
I don't want Congress to decide how R&D money is spent.

Cell providers are renting space. Much cheaper than putting up a tower or renting space on a rooftop.

Let me make sure I understand what you're saying.
