Yeah, basically MySQL used to cover the same use case that NoSQL do today. Of course, it's quite controversial to define which use case that is
I think that it's "I have no idea how to design data models and just want to dunk all my shit in something that behaves like a fast file system"

@Carnage There are a lot of cases where you just have a bunch of blobs (articles, videos, some measurements, whatever) that you just need to dump somewhere and need to be able to load by several different keys. Which makes it slightly more involved than a filesystem—which only has one key—but not needing full relational algebra.

No doubt, but most instances I've seen, that's not the case.

Remember. In todays' app economy if you allow an app access to any information it will be sold to someone eventually. Even if you're buying a subscription.
Also: very important to remember. It's almost impossible to completely anonymise geolocation data.

Fucking hell. The evil Excel, was it then? So here's the full report:
I'm still not seeing what was it exactly. Just opening the file led to infection? Well, sound the , because that's terrible. A macro? An embedded font? What exactly was it, godsdammit?

@BernieTheBernie @Bulb Ok, that's bad, but also only tangentially relevant. With those in place the exploit had far lower- but nevertheless non-zero! - chance to work. It's not any normal Excel file that caused this.

Cat bites can be serious. One put me in the hospital in which I had emergency surgery that night and had to say in the hospital for five day for IV antibiotics.
This was before cell phones were common and the nurse complained I was on the phone too much.
I had to call my employer, the client I was contracting for, the vet (the reason the cat bit me was because I was trying to put her in a carrier to take her to the vet), someone to pick-up the cats, etc.

The Financial Modeling World Cup will be held this weekend entirely in Microsoft Excel. And the finals (the quarterfinals, semifinals, and the final match) will all be broadcast live as they happen at 9 AM PT. Everyone’s playing for a total prize of $10,000 — funded by Microsoft, of course.
Apparently this happens every year, but I've only heard about it now.

Not necessarily. If you can run the same joke for N consecutive years, it becomes funny, in that sad-funny way. I'm sure it could work with the game awards.

That's the point I was trying to make, but I couldn't find a funny and succinct way to phrase it.
They did come up with something different for the awards this year though:
