Pocket didn't pay for the integration, period. Now, whether there's money flowing as a result of the integration is an interesting question. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10681622

Revenue sharing arrangement doesn't mean Mozilla included Pocket for money. Does Pocket even make money at a scale that could be remotely interesting to Mozilla? I very much doubt it. I also doubt that Telefonica makes significant mone

Google used to pay/employ a number of people working at Mozilla who were then pulled to work on Chrome. This includes former Firefox lead developer Ben Goodger, for instance. I think Mozilla was still using CVS at that time, so the los

So you have anecdotal evidence that the police once searched a white person. Cool. ;) I'm afraid Racial Profiling is still real.

Racial profiling, supposedly unlawful in Germany, but you can't really do anything about it when it happens -- except for being an impolite and passive-aggressive smartass (do know your limits, though) and making the officers feel bad
