I hope they improve their incident response comms in the future. 2.5 hours with nothing more than "We are continuing to investigate this issue" is pretty poor form.
Their past history of incident handling looks just as bad.

Surely we should add Mr Feynman to that list

Don't bother with the video, there's very little information aside from the fact that in 2001, personal use of drugs was decriminalised and by 2009 they could see a drop in HIV infections, overdoses, and deaths.

This is partially addressed in CSIRO's FAQ: https://research.csiro.au/futurefeed/faq/
In summary, FutureFeed is working with several external suppliers to establish production. They expect to be able to improve the crop production over time.
One thing of note is significant reductions can be achieved with quite a low ratio of seaweed in the feed. Specifically they report that recent feedlot trials demonstrated over 95% methane reduction with seaweed inclusion at 0.20% of OM in the ration.

I suspect your comment is at least partly a joke, however the actual maximum fine possible is 4% or €20 million, whichever is higher.

I've heard the term biblichor used as a name for the smell of old books. This is derived from the words
Biblos: book
Ichor: the fluid that flows like blood in the veins of gods
This was inspired by the term petrichor.

Facebook still operates as a business in the EU and can therefore be fined there. As a similar example, Google was fined €50 million earlier this year as a result of a GDPR violation.

GDPR fines can be pretty significant. Google was hit with a €50 million fine in January.

The word quantum has been used as a synonym for quantity since the mid-16th century. Its use as a physics term is a much more recent development, which has definitely not fully replaced the original definition yet.

From what I've discovered, it must be a Japanese Lacquer Brush. Traditionally these are made from the hair of pearl divers, "selected as the finest and densest fibre."[1] Another reference I found quotes that "They say that the salt strengthens the hair"[2]

I personally enjoyed (and was certainly impacted by) many of the books that I was forced to read during high school. The most memorable ones for me all fell into the "modern classics" category - To Kill a Mockingbird, Animal Farm, 1984, A Clockwork Orange, Lord of the Flies, Brave New World, The Diary of Anne Frank, and so on.

The other option to cope with an extended period of lower revenue is to make sure you have enough cash in the bank to ride it out.

Yes this is correct. In fact even without a paid subscription you can access all files that have been added to a Slack through the web UI (myslack.slack.com/files). You can't see the related messages, but all the files (images, snippets, etc) are available as one big list.
