Thanks for this. I enjoyed the discussion. I still managed Solaris up until a couple years ago. I could still login if I cared to, but others manage the mothballed environment now. I was super mad how Oracle killed them. Still mad as I think on it.

There was. It was with the real Biden. The second one was with the alternate Biden (SHE IS BIDEN!!!).

I would love it if they made a wagon.

Partly because he says everything so forcefully and appears to be a convincing person. It’s all a sham obviously.

A very confident liar.

Former presidents are still called president.

But it still makes me wince.

Yah, 1985 was nearly 40 years ago!

Of course, and over the loudspeaker too! More fun tidbits are the radio playing nothing but breakup songs, the little brother with his "hobbies", Booger pondering the street value of the mountain of "snow", mom learning how to make French food (Peru!) and dad always getting the young-folk phrases wrong. The jokes are littered everywhere. I will also always remember Taylor Negron's performance as the disinterested and careless mailman (RIP).

Obviously I love this film.

Yes. It is a wonderfully fun movie.

Not sure how all that can be separated out meaningfully as it is the platform being used and advertisers have expectations based on whatever agreement has been struck between them. Maybe I misunderstood. Perhaps the difference in your example is a user acting versus a bot? Intent probably comes up somewhere as well, but I am not a lawologist. 🤷‍♂️

My understanding is that the contractual agreement with advertisers is that they pay to reach ears. The ads did not reach any ears as promised which could be equated to fraud.

TIL about the Darth Valley Challenge. Thanks for that!

Yes, I know sites want all the clicks out there and I did note OP matched the CNBC headline as per the rules. Perhaps a better article exists with a less sensational headline? A brief search proves they do. Something like this:

Medical Errors Are No. 3 Cause Of U.S Deaths, Researchers Say

Or this:

Medical errors are the third leading cause of death’ and other statistics you should question

OP's article is from 2018 and my links are from 2016 and 2023 respectively, so this isn't exactly new news. Ultimately, OP should be sourcing a better publication that does not sensationalize the news, but I would embrace a 'no clickbait' rule to better cull them out, too.
