      MSGID: 2:460/58 00000244       INTL 2:460/58 2:460/58       PID: tg2fido_gate_v0.6.1       CHRS: CP866 2       TGUID: 1223717052       REPLYTO 2:221/1.58       RealName: August Abolins 2:221/1.58       I just learned of this little gem: https://mcbroken.com/              "A 24-year old software engineer, Rashiq Zahid, built the app by fiddling with       the McDonald's API."              "Here?s how it works: McDonald?s keeps track of which locations have a broken       ice cream machine. If you try to order ice cream at a given McDonald?s, and       its machine is broken, you can?t add the items to your cart: They?ll be marked       as unavailable. So Zahid?s app places an order ($18,752 is the total worth)       every minute at every McDonald?s in the US. He?s not paying thousands of       dollars, of course?he?s merely seeing whether his orders go through."              More to the story here: https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/358445       --- tg2fido gate v0.6.1        * Origin: Telegram to fido gate by Stas Mishchenkov (2:460/58)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 120/340 123/131 154/10 203/0 221/0 226/30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 227/702 229/424 426 664 1016 240/5411 5832 5853 249/206 317       SEEN-BY: 249/400 261/38 280/464 5003 288/100 292/8125 310/31 317/3       SEEN-BY: 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45 460/58 777 1124 5858 633/267       SEEN-BY: 633/280 640/1138 1321 1384 712/848 770/1 2452/250 5054/30       PATH: 460/58 640/1384 712/848 280/464 240/5832 229/426           |
