How about "better oversight", "constructive oversight" or "beneficial oversight"? Let's not fall into a trap by restricting the space to a single dimension of quantity.

This is not the only underhanded practise from LinkedIn. I've had endorsements from people whom I know haven't logged into LinkedIn for years, including one from my partner who was sat next to me at the time and had even forgotten they had an old account there.

That's interesting. Recently, I've been receiving endorsements that seem completely random from some connections. For instance, I got one from an old college buddy (with whom I've connected, but haven't had time to catch-up) for "product management".

Got another endorsement from someone else who also had no way of knowing my skillset in a particular area.

Was thinking maybe they accidentally clicked on that intrusive, dark pattern of a prompt that keeps appearing atop the site. Now, I'm not so sure.

Just spent 15min playing it with a colleague, it's still a fun game 50 years later.

I read a while back that one of the biggest issues with a human mission to Mars is the landing, I can't remember the article but a brief search turns up this one that covers the relevant points: http://www.universetoday.com/7024/the-mars-landing-approach-...

I would have agreed with you a few months back, but after seing the airdrop of Curiosity unto the surface of Mars, I have assumed a stance of quiet fascination. Looks solvable to me.
