Agreed. It’s likely just a typo.

10 years building vertical software: are we cooked? 5 months ago
500 is the target, not a hard requirement. The current SP500 index is comprised of 503 constituents.
I’m also pretty sure S&P doesn’t maintain a ‘S&P 500 Software & Services Index‘.
There is a ‘S&P Software & Services Select Industry Index’ with 140 constituents. That’s probably the index in question.

That’s almost always my experience too.
Though fairly recently I learned that even with all the correct joins in place, sometimes adding a DISTINCT within a CTE can dramatically increase performance. I assume there’s some optimizations the query planner can make when it’s been guaranteed record uniqueness.
On the return trip trash was carried back down.
Oh, I have it writing. A screenshot of the order, an email confirmation, and a physical letter. All directly from Verizon, all saying $160.
Three weeks ago I changed my Verizon FIOS plan and was told multiple times that my new bill would be $160. Guess what happened next!
If your guess was they immediately raised the price of the services on my plan and billed me $220 instead, you’d be right!
Building the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel (2014) 2 years ago
They have a Chesapeake Bay Bridge walk/run every year. It should probably be noted that it’s not the same bridge as the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel that this post is about.
The Chesapeake Bay Bridge connects Annapolis with Kent Island, while the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel connects the southern tip of Virginia’s eastern shore with Norfolk, VA.
It seems more and more that sports tickets are exclusively available on Ticketmaster
For US pro sports, I think it’s actually trending away from Ticketmaster. Baseball (MLB) tickets are now directly sold through the MLB. At least some (all?) American Football (NFL) teams have started partnering with SeatGeek. Basketball (NBA) and Ice Hockey (NHL) still seem to be through Ticketmaster.
cash and cash equivalents, such as checks or gift cards that can be exchanged for cash, must never be accepted
The way it’s worded sounds like it can be a gift card, just not one that could be exchanged directly for cash.
