The idea that a site should automatically generate revenue simply for existing, especially when it's relying on unwitting invasion of visitors' privacy in an increasingly illegal manner, is ridiculous at best; malicious and pred

Bulk used Lego sells pretty consistently around $10/lb. Certainly less than retail, but never un-sellable. Of course, selling piece-by-piece on Bricklink will net more, for more work. Especially when compared to pure "collectibl

AWS Lambda already solves #1 by simply reusing the existing language instantiation across calls, as far as I can tell. That pretty much percolates out to solving most of the other complaints that this document muses about. But the larger i
