Hard to take a publication seriously when its content is editorialized to this degree. Even the title is trying to impose itself onto the reader.

Maybe you can't download their weights, but you can literally try out their products right from their homepage. What's your point?
Seems to have been a temporary blip. Currently working for us again.
Did you reach your 500 karma yet ;)
It's around 6 data sources on ~25 machines, but it could be easily scaled to way more than that with a bit of work. And I mean less work than it takes to do even trivially simple things using the horrible Splunk API. There are many thousands of small companies using Splunk and getting totally ripped off for a very mediocre product with a rapacious and annoyingly aggressive salesforce.
That is a tiny setup all things considered. You aren’t operating at a scale you’d need to consider a monitoring platform for.

Referential humor should stay on Reddit. It's chuckle-worthy, sure, but this forum is one of the few places we have for serious discussion.
When people upvote jokes, the high-value expertise people freely share here gets drowned out, and will eventually disappear.
A more constructive interpretation of the parent comment would be that Nena was on to something.
It’s interesting to draw parallels from the Cold War to today, especially when they are so on the nose.

I should have more sympathy for all of these addicts, but I don't. I sympathize w/ a herion addiction because it's physically addictive, etc etc. Addicted to Facebook, to other people's baby pictures??
Consider this: everything you learn about your friends through Facebook, you weren't important enough to be reached out to personally about. THEREFORE! You shouldn't even know those things.
It's important to remember that modern social media is a complete assault on your dopamine receptors. If you take a look at your feed, a vanishingly small amount of the content Facebook belches up is created by your friends. Instead you're shown content that you're likely to interact with.
That's not to mention that people use social media as a substitute for personally reaching out to friends.
I meet your skepticism with a video of him telling the joke: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQh6q9gNCIQ

This reminds of an old joke told to all undergraduate economists:
A hundred-dollar bill is lying on the ground. An economist walks past it. A friend asks: "Didn't you see the money there?" The economist replies: "I thought I saw something, but I must've imagined it. If there had been $100 on the ground, someone would've picked it up."
The bulletin needs to perform a retrospective analysis to determine how good their predictions were in the past. As things stand it's amusing to see how their increments need to get smaller and smaller to avoid striking midnight.
