Ya, I believe the OP was talking about the five pages of story-telling before the recipe that requires you to annoyingly scroll until you find the recipe ingredient list. I came here for a cookie recipe, not a story about how you discovered you liked oatmeal cookies when you were 12, but then became a raisin-cookie fanatic, before moving back to chocolate chips, when you suddenly remembered your Grandma baked you peanut butter cookies as a kid. /sic

Isn’t there an unlimited ticket for commuters?

Didn’t they stop/restart once before? Sounds like history is repeating itself...

I’d categorize these activities as malware. Making unwanted mutable actions on my OS? Definitely malware...

Wow, this is disturbing. Lest we forget that LinkedIn has been a Microsoft subsidiary for three years now. I wonder if Microsoft is doing this elsewhere too?

Mapmakers had a similar problem in the past, but the theft could be proven by creating data (“trap streets”) that didn’t exist. Sounds like Genius has been employing similar mechanisms and needs to proceed with legal remedies

Very nice illustrations! Does “curated by the team” mean that they were discovered elsewhere and just packaged up here?

Any suspicions on how this will differ from the last decade of crypto coins?

Lost all faith in Stellar after they screwed up their database and wouldn’t let me reset my password. In email they admitted their mistake but couldn’t do anything. I wouldn’t trust this

What about something like $10k up front and then you invoice for the hours past that?
Re:Amazon's Satellite Project Will Cost Billions, Jeff Bezos Says

Amazon shareholders do not earn a dividend. SpaceX is not public, but rather would enrich a much smaller set of investors (and particularly Musk). What’s your point?

This is a misconception. The ISS is not in an orbit that’s suitable for repairing satellites in other orbits.
