Full disclosure: I'm a licensed real estate agent, although I haven't practiced in years - I've handled around $200M in RE sales. FWIW, I was mostly a buyer's agent; the few listings that I took on were only for valued,

(Disclaimer: this is just hearsay) I think that most cruise ships have their own cell towers, with their own roaming agreements. So if you try to connect while you're on-board, you'll be on their network and paying their rates.

I think you must have missed the end of his sentence: "...I also have nothing to do with Instagram other than that they use software I’ve written." I think that's an adequate description of his relationship with Instagram.

That sucks - I had a similar issue back when I was contracting; it happens to the best of us. Unfortunately, I don't have a project for you, but I wish you luck! Keep at it, you'll pull through!

Personally, I don't think the community reaction has been overblown at all. If nothing else, they have acted in profoundly bad faith by soliciting free work from the open hardware community in exchange for the promise of an open hardw
