Software developers who never have, and never will have to, use the software for real.

I spent one week in a position where I was using my own software for production and immediately made several simple enhancements once I had hands on experience with the expected business process.
Every programmer should go through an exercise like this at least once in a while.
Sopranos, Game of Thrones. Basically anything produced for HBO.
I caught the first 2-1/2 seasons of The Wire because of a promotion on Hulu.
It boils down to: I’m a cheapskate.
Isn’t this how Donnie Darko started?
She’s a high school teacher. I’m gonna guess the students figured it out first.
8pm thru 12am is prime time for streaming. Netflix would need to pivot or go out of business.

Batch jobs requiring Internet access can no longer run overnight. Instead they would need to run during the day, tying up bandwidth and CPU for other users. System engineers would need to take this into consideration.

In very rare cases (nuclear fusion) the water is destroyed into its primitive elements

Nuclear reactions will change the atoms, but you don’t have to go that far to break down water.

She showed her work, too.
I’m sure it’s highly subjective. But if you want to go about it scientifically, you can survey a number of strangers to answer the question for you.
Now, where to find those strangers…
If one were to press charges against an IVF clinic I can imagine few greater uses of jury nullification.
