I think Bezos also mentioned that he started with books because no single physical shop could have all the books, but Amazon could. It is a product with so many variations that Amazon had a clear competitive advantage.

Why would that make you rich? You would just be an employee, no?

In my experience, the most chaotic companies that were fire fighting all the time tried to pull this "there is this deadline and it has to be finished by X or else we die". The successful companies on the other hand, are planning

I show them the people that smoke because they want to look like those people on TV. Smoking is mainly about trying to look cool, which in the end makes you look stupid. And once you see that, you cannot unsee it. My kids already see it. An

I'm a big fan of Nirvana, so in that sense you are correct. But I'm not sure I want to live that life or want my kids to live that life.

Jack Herer doesn't really seem like the man I aspire to be. Sorry to disappoint, but I also don't have Aspergers.

I' not a psychiatric patient, and neither are my kids, so I don't see what drugs could do for me. I'm 43 and never had a cigarette in my mouth, and very happy that I don't have to sit in that disgusting smell in cafes an

Whatever you recommend to take, I'm sure one of the people I know took it. Did it improve their already normal life? I highly doubt it. I'm not discussing that when you have an illness or mental problem that drugs might help (or w

One of best features of TikTok is how easy it is to create your own content. You don't even have to think about it: just duplicate what another video is doing with exactly the same moves and exactly the same music. In that sense, it&#x

I always find it surprising that so many people here have such a positive attitude towards drugs. I never touched it, am very happy about it, and hope my kids stay far away from it. I know people who did all kinds of drugs, and nothing posi

> Similarly, on macOS, the scroll direction cannot be changed between mouse and trackpad. Ha that's funny, because I'm also struggling with that one! The general idea that Apple is good at UX is very wrong.

I thought printers had a unique fingerprint that's embedded in every document they print?

I don't agree. I have an Android, and when I go to a product page on the app store, there is this huge "install" button clearly in a different color. Very good UX. I remember receiving a company iPhone years ago. I went to an

Indeed! I started programming in GW-BASIC when I was 13. IF and GOTO was all I needed! FOR, FUNCTION, ... why was it there?

This post actually confirmed my opinion about functional programming :D. Probably not in the way the author intended.

The crypto game is all about potential value. Both opponents and propontents can be so sure about themselves, either that it's obvious it's all a scam or obvious it has value and huge amounts in the future. The fact of the matter

War has a military and humanitarian side. On the humanitarian side, I agree with you. On the military side, dragging out this war is in the best interest of NATO, because Russia is getting more exhausted by the day.

I'm an atheist like you, and there is one book that clicked for me: "The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching" by Thich Nhat Hanh. It has an excellent part about "rebirth", illustrated by waves and water. I now look

I think the whole premise of these statements are wrong. If you want to work for money, and go home not bothered with it, then get a job. If you want your whole life ruled by the business, then start a business. The most hard working people
