Homebrew to deprecate and add caveat for HashiCorp
Summary: GitHub user iMichka has opened a pull request to deprecate HashiCorp's formulae in Homebrew due to a license change. The request adds caveats to inform users that these formulae may be disabled in the future, as there will be no more version updates in homebrew-core. The affected formulae include Terraform, Packer, Vault, Consul, Nomad, Waypoint, and Vagrant-Completion.

Strong Evidence Is Common
Summary: Strong evidence is more common than people think, according to Mark Xu. He uses Bayes' Rule to demonstrate that large odds ratios can be found in everyday encounters, such as believing someone's name or a fact from Wikipedia. The Efficient Market Hypothesis implies difficulty in profiting from the stock market, but Xu argues that achieving a seemingly large odds ratio might be easier than expected. Extraordinary claims may require extraordinary evidence, but such evidence could be more prevalent than assumed.
