   For me Nemo studios have such a mysterious vibe. I can imagine Vangelis walking around the city and spending days and nights making his music there. Must have been amazing times. He will not be forgotten.

   I remember reading an article a long time ago about a passenger finding a (mock)weapon in his luggage. Turns out it was put in there by a government organization to test the process through security, except that they forgot to take it out a

   Maybe the dark web makes people feel safe and they let their guard down? I cannot imagine why else someone would use their own email address in any transaction or operation.

   I remember looking at a group of four a while ago and noticed the next day that someone had polished the copper and put flowers around it. Very touching.

    They are not indeed, just sharing my anecdata that the best ones I have come across happen to know much more about the details. I am sure one can find good and efficient devs that know very little about the underlying system and are very ca

    I think you are saying the same thing? Without the API it sounds like a great community service that is kept accurate by its users. But the paid-for (and pricey?) API that profits from this is what gives a bit of a sour taste to the 'c
