The "gas" fees will be literal for these NFTs.

Basically, the cable company stance is "640k ought to be enough for anybody."

"640k ought to be enough for anyone"

At the bottom:

"This Is Not Real... ...it is a piece of satire, inspired by the concept of disgrace insurance, the 'blue check homes' viral art project, and the incessant push to make everything a service.

If you did believe this was real, we'd like to ask you to read the fine print next time."

But I was fooled at first, not gonna lie.

Is there an implication here?

Also reference Amazon's "Do it without dues" site:

How could you possibly know unless you are on the Amazon union busting team?

Where did you get that impression?

The flight software and embedded systems framework for the Ingenuity helicopter is called F' (pronounced F Prime) and is open source. Find it here:

The article is a strange advertorial for Hey.com from the BBC.

Why didn't they interview anyone from the large email providers to get their opinion and learn what they are doing to protect users? Hey.com is a tiny blip in the email universe.

He definitely should have blurred out the name of the salesperson in the original image.

Perhaps. At the very least, it's gotta be uncomfortable for him.

Side note... the user on Twitter that originally reported this had his account locked by Twitter for posting the LinkedIn message from the Canonical sales guy.

But no one is calling this guy a villain. For example, his name is not mentioned once in all these HN comments. It's not his fault.

And indeed the Azure T&C's are definitely referenced a in the Twitter discussion with the OP. Such as:

> The negative impact of this goes on his shoulders

Well, in this case, people are mad at Azure/MS and Canonical for betraying developer trust, not the individual salesperson. He's just a pawn in the game. It's not like this guy went rogue; this is his job.

The system is setup in a creepy way to enable this type of upselling, which makes people uncomfortable. Whether or not Azure or Canonical change policies, we shall see.

The culture at Pinterest is highly toxic. Awful personalities abound. I know this from friends that used to work there and also from this lawsuit:

It's a little bit janky, but I do appreciate the effort to manipulate the car and make it interactive.

From another article on this topic: "But at about 1:30 p.m. the same day, Gualtieri said, someone accessed the system again. This time, he said, the operator watched as someone took control of the mouse, directed it to the software that controls water treatment, worked inside it for three to five minutes and increased the amount of sodium hydroxide from 100 parts per million to 11,100 parts per million."

Be careful here. What Facebook says they will do, and what they actually do are totally different things. They make a lot of promises that don't come to fruition.

It's about the friends we made along the way?

Both GM & Ford got what they both wanted. People talking about their brands.
