I think they were obligated to ask/offer it. My emphatic 'nooooo' probably resulted in them opening up about it a bit. Either way though, scary times.

I was at the doctors a little over a year ago for some blood work. When they asked me if I wanted to be vaccinated, I said no. Their response was “probably a good idea not to.”

The point of my comment wasn't as much about the presentation (although admittedly a part of it), as the fact that what's being presented doesn't match what was in the spreadsheets and there are "corrections" to the data being made while it's being presented. It's an issue about their preparation. It diminishes their credibility.

If someone is going to present conclusive data, they shouldn't be modifying it as they go. Quite frankly, it comes across as though they're making it up on the spot.

The cumulative values from multiple batches should have been coming from simple summation formulas referencing the source values. It's a spreadsheet. That's literally one of the simplest use cases for them.

"oops, Batch A should have been 12" edits cell

"oops, should have had Batch 14 included in this total" edits cell

If they're confident in their analysis, then they need to have this shit sorted out before presenting it.

While I find the information interesting, and think it warrants more digging, the creator of the video isn't helping their case by making corrections and editing their conclusive numbers during the video.

As much as the numbers seem pretty compelling, making several corrections to numbers (and not using formulas) during the video, really kinda hurts the credibility of it.

Seriously, start over and re-record it.

I know several millionaires as well. It's really not that hard to become one if you're diligent about saving a percentage of your income... it also helps if you work your ass off for it.

Two of the ones I know are tradesmen (one services boilers, the other does electrical work). They both busted their balls to get to where they are.

You can take out the data center with a sawzall

This isn't the movies. You really think that there's just one data line going into the building?

Any competent data center has multiple physically separate ingress/egress points. When I ran a rack of servers 20 years ago, the data center that hosted them had three different points on the building that internet came to, from three different peers.

There was clearly something there that was a single point of failure, but it wasn't something that a sawzall alone would take out.
