Let's start from 80 hours a week spent at work. Red flag #1. Don't know why you would assume that's necessary 3.5 hours/week showering. Red flag #2. Even if you shower every single day, if you're spending 30 minutes in…
The same reason that the Civil Rights act had to be passed in the courts and the first students in integrated schools in the south had to be marched in with armed guard. "Democracy" is frequently used interchangeably…
Because it's bizarre and stands out. The clarifying sentence of marrying people that live elsewhere etc screams of "the lady doth protest too much". There's nothing wrong with saying "Over time, and over the natural…
The ability to do something does not hold any weight with the people you're trying to convince. "Oh sure, Apple can revoke my access time, but they never would!" It's the same thing as "Oh I'm sure the government COULD…
Off-topic question: Why do people insist on calling The Hoover Dam "one of the top engineering marvels". Surely, a dam that doesn't even make it into the top-25 tallest dams in the world, and is 57th in the world in…

It's kind of how people are scared of dying in plane crashes but not in car crashes - the illusion of control. One easily imagines doing something to avoid a car death but not a plane one. I think the same applies here:…
Your comparison is bang on, except that's the point. Amazon isn't trying to be Ikea. It is absolutely trying to provide the building blocks for small companies and large to use their cloud platform in a very…
Clickbait article. Not a single explanation to be found. Just some history and background
You can criticize Amazon for a million things, but underpayment is not one of them.
Are you insane? VK has horrendous UX (best and simplest example: Browsing through image galleries resizes the image viewer so that the next and previous buttons constantly move) And they call it a Facebook clone because…
Real problem. Terrible article. > “What these techies don’t realise though is that we’re no different to them - they’re just one misstep, one paycheck away from being us.” I don't presume to know Jimmy's life, and…
Is it just me or is stuff like this way harder to appreciate these days (with the ubiquity of CGI), unless you work in the industry, or see a behind-the-scenes look like this? This is simply incredible, and yet I don't…
I always wonder about people like you. How do you manage your receipts for all these things? And what about the additional time to go back and return lightbulbs. Does that not more than cover the money you save from the…
No, don't work at AWS, for the record. But responses like this is why I'm a big fan of the Amazon platform and the point I was trying to make. Oh well.
I apologize for your poor experience with Amazon, and have no doubt that many mistakes were made with your account. But you should recognize that your experience is the exception not the rule. The vast majority of…
Interesting idea. Certainly a large percentage of our smartphone usage is turning on the screen to glance at a notification, then dismiss it. Smartwatches allow you to not have to do that. But the notification still…
Tesla was launched with the investment and vision of a man who's already made billions in the industry, not some teenagers with an idea and a garage.
Sounds like it fills a need effectively for the Disposable Income San Francisco Dweller. But "everyone" has got to be misleading, right? No way this is cost-effective for someone whose shipping margins are thin like an…

Someone white needs to die, and maybe people will start giving a shit.
That is because any new product has an upfront fixed cost in investment. Amazon is investing like crazy into growth, and as a result all their new costs are new products. Quarter to quarter their loss numbers are so low…
I would really like to see some data on the memory savings using this technique. How significant are they?
