The problem is in what constitutes "the best". I think people often gauge that against what they, themselves, know and/or are good/bad at or against some "standard" even though those may not be good criteria for the actual task or problem at hand. It may explain the perceived value of people who "think outside the box", which are often just instances of non-linear (or right-brain) thinking. Everyone is at a different place on the learning curve. Many people fail to realize that there are many curves and they can intersect and/or overlap in unexpected ways.
If I spend $1000 on a refrigerator, there may be parts that wear out and need replacement, but with only that proviso I expect it to last 10 years or more under normal conditions. If it doesn't last 8 years, it was defective to begin with.
The same goes for anything that costs $1000. The expected lifespan increases as the price increases; a car, for example, should last 20 years.
Just noting that I've had the same refrigerator since 1993 -- and it came with my house, so it's at least 25 years old. The only thing I've ever replaced is the (mechanical) defrost timer, and I did than myself. I might have to replace the ice-maker water solenoid in the near future, but don't know yet.
Granted, a new refrigerator would probably be more energy efficient, but my ROI for replacing it just for that could be a long time coming.

They've had stuff like that for a while, but you must think in Russian.:-)
A Snap is a container package which runs in a confined space and includes both the binary and its dependencies. It doesn't have, or need, access to the rest of the system.
Yes, they basically re-invented static linking, because disk space is now, apparently, cheap enough to waste and have multiple copies of every library used (updated independently). And, yes, I understand the (at least, supposed) benefits of containerized applications, but am still not sold on using snaps over traditionally packaged applications and actually shared libraries.
Weninger, a Republican, also cited the ease of making online payments through the cryptocurrency "while you're watching television,"...
Um... You can pay by more conventional means like online banking via your phone or PC or any other means (electronic or otherwise) your state accepts while watching TV too. You could even write a check during a commercial. Not really sure how Bitcoin is any easier.
Insert "Hippocampus" between the and actually (about how the size of the hippocampus actually grew....)
I'd be careful about inserting this anywhere. Hippocampus are very territorial and are among the most dangerous animals in the world as they are highly aggressive and unpredictable -- especially the bigger ones.
I do have to point out that Elon Musk missed out on another historic opportunity he could have pulled off with this launch. It they can put a Tesla Roadster in orbit around the Sun...
Anyone else notice that in the book/film The Martian astronaut Mark Watney was launched into orbit from Mars in a "convertible" (he removed the MAV nose airlock and windows) and now Musk has launched an "astronaut" in a literal convertible into an orbit around Mars.
What I like about the terminology is "mass simulator". You put a "mass simulator" into a test rocket because it has mass. Exactly what mass is it simulating? If it is only simulating mass, then is it real?
I imagine a good mass simulator would require good church, priest and congregation simulators as well.
Noting that many of those could be applied to working in/at or for the White House, Congress or "Hollywood". Not trolling, just saying... look them over again.
The entire island was running around in terror with nowhere to go for over half an hour before these schlocks finally managed to say "oops, just kidding."
Big deal. The country has been doing that for a year now -- still waiting for the "oops, just kidding" part.:-)
Okay, apart from making everybody think for half an hour that they were about to die.
I'm not sure experiencing that is a bad thing. I've had two near-death experiences in my 54 years - once in a car accident and once from accidentally breathing ammonia + bleach fumes from a bucket I thought was empty. In addition, my wife died of a brain tumor in 2006. Being close to death and dying gives you some perspective on life, living and other people - something many people could use more of.
If you're implying that the information should not have been reviewed and accepted by the Court because of potential political bias and the non-disclosure of that, you're wrong. Source bias (real or imaginary) is routinely ignored by the Court in their considerations. From The Nunes Memo: Watergate, It Ain't:
Federal courts routinely rely on informants whose bias is not disclosed. The courts understand that informants are rarely disinterested parties, writes Orin Kerr, a law professor at USC who previously clerked for Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy. "When federal judges have faced similar claims" of undisclosed bias, Kerr adds, "they have mostly rejected them out of hand."

I am not sure what you are trying to say here. Using political opposition research from Foreign spies as justification to spy on an American without telling the courts that the source for the justification is political opposition research from a Foreign spy is in simple words... Very bad.

There is also this remarkable passage from the Nunes memo, concerning former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos, who is cooperating with Mueller as part of a plea deal:
The Papadopoulos information triggered the opening of an FBI counterintelligence investigation in late July 2016 by FBI agent Pete Strzok. Strzok was reassigned by the Special Counsel’s office for improper text messages with his mistress, FBI Attorney Lisa Page where they both demonstrated a clear bias against Trump.
This is apparently supposed to show that the investigation was opened by a biased FBI agent. But it actually shows that the FBI investigation predated the supposed misuse of the Steele dossier, and it shows that the cause of the investigation was information provided by Papadopoulos, which is what the New York Times reported. Remember, this Times report was widely mocked by Trump allies. Yet the memo actually lends that story more credence and, in the process, undercuts the whole alt-narrative that the genesis of the probe was illegitimate.
Some conservatives reached the same conclusion:
In reflecting more on this, I think Nunes may have just blown up the core Trump defense to the “Russia investigation” — that it was all fruit of the poisonous Steel tree. Not true. It was already underway. https://t.co/gUvGgSUyY1

Hey, if it saves me from eventually having to redo all their crappy work, I'm all for it.

The researchers built a simple app and asked a group of kids between the ages of three and 11 -- and a group of adults between 22 and 60 -- to use it.
Noting they skipped everyone age 12 - 21.

He won't. He was appointed to undermine the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

As a congressman, Mulvaney called the CFPB a “sick, sad joke.”

So do many of the states and much of the US electorate. This is not new.

Everything that Muller has that came from these FISA warrants is now "fruit of the forbidden tree".
As noted elsewhere, it's fruit of the poisonous tree, and you might want to re-consider that argument, as even some Conservatives are abandoning it. From The Nunes memo is out. It’s a joke and a sham.:
There is also this remarkable passage from the Nunes memo, concerning former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos, who is cooperating with Mueller as part of a plea deal:
