But the company has already invested so much into the CEO, they can't just let him go because he doesn't understand the sunk cost fallacy! /s

And it's highly effective!

Predation accounts for a relatively low rate of nest failure: only 34% compared to an average of 80% for birds in similar habitats. This may be enabled by their well camouflaged nests, or simply the lack of local predators.

Not out of range for moral support. I'm sure there's an alien out there having a shitty day. Like, maybe his spaceship got towed and he lost his job at the Dyson sphere. I'm rooting for you, buddy!

You're going to regret those words when you die and face judgment before the Moth God.

The fact it was fake would get leaked, possibly along with the real list. The Trump cabinet is one of the leakiest cabinets in history.

They say money can't buy happiness, but it can buy apples, and that cat looks pretty happy to me.

I don't think having well-defined precision is a rare requirement, it's more that most devs don't understand (and/or care) about the pitfalls of inaccuracy, because they usually aren't obvious. Also, languages like JavaScript/PHP make it hard to do things the right way. When I was working on an old PHP codebase, I ran into a popular currency library (Zend_Currency) that used floats for handling money, which I'm sure works fine up until the point the accountants call you up asking why they can't balance the books. The "right way" was to use the bcmath extension, which was a huge pain.

From the conclusion:

NAT may be a good short term solution to the address depletion and scaling problems. This is because it requires very few changes and can be installed incrementally. NAT has several negative characteristics that make it inappropriate as a long term solution, and may make it inappropriate even as a short term solution. Only implementation and experimentation will determine its appropriateness.
