AlphaBay, once the dark web's kingpin marketplace, peddled illegal goods and fueled criminal activity. Its takedown was a victory, but the dark web's hydra keeps rising, posing new challenges for law

The camera captures so much data, that you can read street signs from the top of the building just by digitally zooming!

On the second day of the mission, Wang floated over to his experiment and sought to activate the Drop Dynamics Module. But it didn't work. He asked the NASA flight controllers on the ground if he could take some time to try to troubleshoot the problem and maybe fix the experiment. But on any Shuttle mission, time is precious. Every crew member has a detailed timeline, with a long list of tasks during waking hours. The flight controllers were reluctant.

After initially being told no, Wang pressed a bit further. "Listen, I know my system very well," he said. "Give me a shot." Still, the flight controllers demurred. Wang grew desperate. So he said something that chilled the nerves of those in Houston watching over the safety of the crew and the Shuttle mission.

"Hey, if you guys don't give me a chance to repair my instrument, I'm not going back," Wang said.

...

So in the immediate aftermath, someone at NASA, probably within the crew office, initiated the capability of a commander to lock the hatch if he or she felt uncomfortable about a crew member. It was used frequently in subsequent missions involving payload specialists.

On the back says: 'Keep or Rehide' 'WPG Rocks'. Just found there is a fcebook group, artists hide them to be discovered. Not an English speaker so I am not sure if that 'keeps' means that I could bring it with me, so I rehide it to be found by another person :)

TL;DR from Atlas Obscura:

One of the largest free-standing structures ever built, this dirigible hangar is now just a giant skeleton.

Originally built in 1933, the huge hangar covers eight acres of land and stands almost 200 feet high, and could cover six football fields beneath its canopy.

I heard this on The Infinite Monkey Cage yesterday and had to look it up and share.

[...] hopefully this thread would shed some light on what kind of pressure is put on extension developers.
