- Two pie charts that show top code contributors from people and organizations outside the host organizations; that is, all non-Apple contributions to WebKit by anyone other than Apple, and all non-Google contributions to Chromium by anyone other than Google. In both, Igalia is the top contributor by a wide margin (54.8% for WebKit, 41.9% for Chromium). (remote)

“would be a second act in financial services for Musk, who cut his teeth in business with the online payment platform PayPal. The company was formed out of a merger between Musk’s earlier X.com and Confinity, a startup co-launched by billionaire entrepreneur Peter Thiel. He briefly led PayPal before being ousted as CEO in 2000.”

"Most of the time, an error message suggesting the 'static lifetime results from attempting to create a dangling reference or a mismatch of the available lifetimes. In such cases, the solution is fixing those problems, not specifying the 'static lifetime."
translation: if you have to use a shotgun, then you are probably doing something wrong.

hmmmm, going to have to re-read "10.3. Validating References with Lifetimes" a few more times to grok it. in the first example set, the problem lifetimes is aimed at solving looks to me like an artifact of the language avoiding using an explicit return statement.
either I am missing something and later sections of this chapter will clarify, or this is really just a way to overcome a logical ambiguity problem which the language itself has introduced.
