Helpful for a significant portion of readers in this case, but tough to make this a general rule without using some judgement. For example, it would probably be overkill to define "AI" in every submission.
some are willing to bear the risk of bricking their phone. far fewer will accept the risk against the cost of their luxury car

I haven't seen "on crack" used in a positive light, but apparently it is sometimes? Usually I'd say "they must have a crack team on incident response", meaning a highly functional, smooth-running team.
What leads you to focus on B2B? Is it hard to find a pricing model that works for both B2B and consumer scale, or is that just where you’ve found initial fit?
There's a similar project under awslabs for using S3 as a FileSystem within the Java JVM: https://github.com/awslabs/aws-java-nio-spi-for-s3
Worth noting that's Barney Frank of the "Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act" of 2010.

In Diamond Age the book is being performed by a skilled actor who is voicing many characters using a script entirely generated by the AI.
Many services do some sort of “liveness check” to verify there’s a live human interacting with the webcam for the selfie.

They technically allow large bottles of contact solution in carry-on because it's a medical necessity (https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/whatcanibring/...). I just keep it in my toiletries bag and they pull it out to run a quick test most of the time.
This has already happened in reality with ETH on GDAX:

I may be misunderstanding your instructions, but I think the intended use (in Chrome, at least) is to highlight the javascript and drag it to your bookmarks bar. This creates a bookmark that executes the javascript, which you can click to unblock the WSJ article you're currently viewing by redirecting the current page through Facebook.

Another useful bookmarklet for deleting annoying DOM elements:

  javascript:(function(){document.styleSheets[0].addRule(".highlighted_to_remove","background:red !important");var e=function(e){if(e.keyCode==27){i()}};document.addEventListener("keydown",e);var t=function(e){e.stopPropagation();this.classList.add("highlighted_to_remove");return false};var n=function(e){e.stopPropagation();this.classList.remove("highlighted_to_remove");return false};var r=function(e){this.parentNode.removeChild(this);i();e.preventDefault();e.stopPropagation();return false};var i=function(){var i=0;var s=document;while(s=document.body.getElementsByTagName("*").item(i++)){s.removeEventListener("mouseover",t);s.removeEventListener("mouseout",n);s.removeEventListener("click",r);s.classList.remove("highlighted_to_remove")}document.removeEventListener("keydown",e)};var s=0;var o=document;while(o=document.body.getElementsByTagName("*").item(s++)){o.addEventListener("mouseover",t);o.addEventListener("mouseout",n);o.addEventListener("click",r)}})()
