Let him live as he wishes. I find the tenacity inspiring, although I have no intention of replicating the feat.

The single photo is remarkably elegant - a spare, almost modernist design.

I assume these are well-vetted as real discoveries, but can't help but think of "Albinoni's" Adagio: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adagio_in_G_minor Still looking forward to listening!

I see several folks commenting on this from the perspective of software engineering. Keep in mind that those are a small minority of Amazon's enormous workforce: an estimate a few years back [0] was 3.5%. [0] https://newsle

Almost everyone prices that way - that is how supply and demand works. Bezos's wealth is ~100% due to stock appreciation, which in turn is tied much more closely to AWS than to the consumer store.

I find it interesting when folks criticize software for not being free / open source. There's nothing stopping you from creating the FOSS you are disappointed someone else didn't create - or from investing your own time into

Temperature isn't a power source; heat flowing across a temperature gradient can be. But that brings us back to the first problem - how to make it flow.
