I'm not arguing with the premise of the blog post. In my case, the emails were send as "single-send", not a part of a campaign, so disabling the options worked. But the blog post was very helpful nonetheless, as it lead me to

I suggest checking Tracking settings in your Sendgrid account. I found myself in a similar situation with a tracking pixel being embedded in my personal email notifications. After checking the settings page, turns out Open tracking and Clic

What a shame! It was the website where I found my current job. It seemed to be the only tech job search board that was focused on its main function, and not on collecting as much personal data as possible.

Another thing that SpaceX has proven with Starlink is that the benefits of economy of scale could be applied to satellite production and the aerospace industry in general. It is so incredibly wasteful that the companies and governments keep

A large market for Starlink are ships and aircraft. It's already been tested in these applications, but commercial usage is pending regulatory approval. Plus there've been some discussions, and even a signed contact regarding Star

I'm not arguing you could completely go away with single points of failure when designing a spacecraft while being limited by the payload mass and volume. But the whole JWST unfolding sequence looks like a way too risky gamble to me. M
