No, they're entirely incorrect because they used the word "near". There is no practically usable helium near the top of the atmosphere. But, I'm also confident they were making a silly joke.

Threads surpassed X in DAU only for mobile, with a slow decline shown in X (see plot), with "dying" being a misleading word. For web, X has 18x more DAU than threads [1]. Total daily active users (all access methods) is overw

I made two serious attempts to get into front end web development, around 5 years apart. Both times I started with the most popular framework. Both times the most popular framework was something different before I even finished the project.

Yes. A potential method of capture is to seed the ocean with more iron [1], to help the algae. I assume that China will be the first to do these sorts of things, since the west will be too hogtied in regulations, lawsuits, and bureaucracy.

Yeah, it would only make sense for in class exams, rather than coursework, and with exams being the majority of the grade. Back in high school, this is how the state exams were performed. We had an external proctor come in.
