I wouldn't assume a 3-character .com is a phishing domain, they're hardly cheap and disposable. But I get your point, I've seen some suspicious (legitimate) alternate domains. Stuff like (not a real example) amazon-fulfillmen

> My conspiracy theory is that burying the lede on this is intentional because people buying $12,000 Japanese imports wouldn't be buying $60,000 F-150s. I imagine they're buying the cheaper Toyotas, or Kias instead?

Nit: ┐ isn't emoji. It's a box drawing character, and they've been around in one form or another since at least the 80s. The modern form has been part of Unicode from (nearly?) the beginning. In any case, the character itself

He can only share his shares and assets at 400B if the market thinks they're worth 400B, and if there are enough buyers for all 400B. And once he starts selling, the market might re-evaluate the worth of the shares. Isn't Twitter

You call this "fraud," but aren't you describing murder? So in essence, you're suggesting that doctors are murdering people because of incentives?

I hate how every hyperlink just leads to another TC article with the same content. I want to see some kind of source and the actual wording of the legal claim. I'm curious specifically about what laws cover this form of "extortion

I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, there's a tendency to write like that when you certainly wouldn't say it like that. It doesn't help that it's an example. In a real meeting, it might be more like &

I feel like most of your examples of "abuse" are just getting things done. I don't see anything intrinsically wrong with doctests. I also can't see a better way to do "load bearing comments," and I'm not e

I don't buy it, what's stopping people from putting pragmas in key:value pairs? There's a chance of collision, but you're already deciding to sacrifice interoperability, so just accept that the myJson spec says '___

It sounds like it's not easy to figure out the permissions, envvars, memory size, etc. of your existing system, and that's why the migration is so difficult? That's not really one of Kubernetes' (many) failings.
