It's the biggest clue that it's typical reddit brained fanfic.

Really cool in depth report, thanks for sharing. It's very interesting to see what these big datacenter deployments are actually doing. Go look at the oil price charts for the last…

For now I'm gonna enjoy my VC subsidized burrito deliveries while I can.

Wow, the sample shows that 15 point Calibri on official government documents was truly awful. In software when we make a mistake that causes some production issue the best first ac…
