If you were a product manager, what should Stack Overflow do to become great again?

I am testing several PDF parsing libraries, and unfortunately, most of them have issues. For example, many struggle with non-English languages, while others can’t reliably handle tables. Having a standardized PDF benchmark would be incredibly helpful — at the very least, it would allow us to identify obvious shortcomings without needing to install and test each library individually.

Is anyone building such a benchmark?

If all particles were entangled at the beginning of the universe (say, at t=0, the moment of the Big Bang), it could mean that the universe maintains some kind of deep, underlying connectivity. Quantum entanglement suggests that measuring one particle affects its entangled partner instantaneously, no matter how far apart they are. If everything was once entangled, then in some sense, everything remains fundamentally linked.

Could this also mean that there is a probaility that there is a god particle that can influence the entire universe?

As the title suggests, why is there not a single platform where I can pay once and access most paywalled articles? Currently, it seems paid newspapers are developing their own solutions, meaning I have to subscribe to each one individually to read the news. I’d much prefer a system where I make a single payment and can read individual articles or a selection of articles on demand.
