  • On the other hand, without the invention of lenses we wouldn’t have most of our science and technology. No microscope, no telescope, no microchips, no precision engineering. So many things today are possible only because we could enhance our shitty vision with lenses

    I’m pretty sure this measure was requested either by the government or some big three letter agency.

  • It’s Amazon, I’m pretty sure they know who to pay for any book they want. They are all already on their platform, with payment information too. They don’t even have to ask the author where to send the money, they already know. They could do it whenever they want, they have the funds to do it, billions of dollars laying around.
