But even if it were put together with the precision of a Swiss watch, my old…

(They have different destinations.)
I've never noticed this before. Seems weird.
(I first noticed on my radio-powered ADS-B tracker, but they're on FlightRadar24 etc.)
Twitter founder Jack Dorsey is running into some serious issues while overhauling his financial services company, #Block.
Earlier this month, the company started laying off its staff as part of what Bloomberg characterized as an “efficiency push,”
potentially affecting up to ten percent of the company’s workforce.
It’s been a painful, drawn-out process that could drag on for weeks, sources to…
