Is Jeff Bezos careful to be logical? It seems to me the answer is no, if you judge by how Amazon
is managed. More evidence, added to the evidence in the parent comment:
A Slashdot
comment: "you still can't sort prime-only items by price correctly (it includes the lowest
priced non-prime seller)..."
And: "... Amazon literally still builds their rich pages using their
normal grid layout, and in the most impossible to navigate way possible.
Safe space flight depends on careful thinking. Everyone involved with flight into space must be logical. Maybe Jeff Bezos just needed to find a place to put his money; maybe he doesn't influence Bllue Origins much. But even if that is true, he has influence, and that is scary. My opinion.
1) View high-definition videos of space travel, safely in your home.
2) Go into near outer space with Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos's company Blue Origin, and possibly die if there is an accident or technical deficiency.
Is Jeff Bezos careful to be logical? It seems to me the answer is no, if you judge by looking at the messy, sloppy Amazon web pages that distract you by trying to sell you other things when you are researching a product.
Blue Origin does not now have the technical ability to orbit the Earth, apparently.

Over many years of having a business, I've developed a preference for working for an hour or 2 early in the morning, maybe 3 am, and later taking a nap in the morning or afternoon. I'm healthy. Do I have a different circadian rhythm?
I've noticed that people often act sure when their thinking is actually extremely sloppy. As quoted above, "... there is thus far a lack of satisfactory explanations..."

One day there was noise in my kitchen. I went there and saw Bill Gates eating my ice cream. I asked him why he thought it was okay to do that. He said permission to eat my food was on page 89 of the Windows 10 license agreement.
I asked him why a billionaire would want to eat someone else's ice cream. He said it gives him a feeling of superiority.
Bill Gates said that Windows 10 spying, putting ads on Windows, making the Windows user interface far worse, forcing updates that are often buggy, and hiding the purpose of the updates makes him confident that he is more abusive than Google and Facebook.
Dilbert cartoons often show a lack of knowledge of technology by top management. The cartoons are somewhat exaggerated but usually have a strong element of truth.
How to pay "the minimum amount for labor and supplies."
Yes, but it appears to me that is not the main problem. The main problem is the EXTREME lack of knowledge and lack of interest in technology by most people in upper levels of management. They didn't have computers in their childhoods. They don't want to learn now, partly because they are overly busy, working 50 hours a week and having 4 children.
That will change. Recently I was in a library when a man approached the checkout desk with his son. His little girl went to the self-checkout computer, pulled a stool from underneath the counter, stood on the stool, and started the computer checkout process. I laughed and asked the man about that. He said his little girl is 2 years old and his children are "almost like a different species".
I don't have a deep understanding, but I get the impression from reading the book that what you said is correct. Human understanding of the universe is developing rapidly.
ShanghaiBill, what you said seems reasonable to me. For example, I recently had a very helpful discussion with a Russian immigrant here in the U.S. about the main Russian culture. I've had many discussions with Iranian immigrants. So I think I may have some basic understanding of those cultures.
I'm surprised that other responses to your comment were so negative and so hostile.

Thank you for explaining that.
But I think the California government could explain the underlying reason for each warning. With no explanation, it seems weird.
I was hoping everyone would realize I was joking.
The California government is often sloppy about communicating, in my experience.
I agree. But we can do better. California should make 2 new laws:
1) Everything good is required.
2) Everything bad is against the law.

ERROR: I posted the parent comment at 4:18 am. I made a mistake. Too early to be commenting on Slashdot, I guess.
Fonts solve the problem by putting more space BEFORE the period.
Problem: I don't like the space after the capital T and before the period in this case, with the font I am using to view Slashdot comments: T.
It seems to that the space BEFORE a period adds enough space. In that case, the font has control over the extra space.
The font I'm seeing in your comment does that.
"... in any decent font, [the space after a period] is wider than the spaces after ... letters."
Exactly. The "researchers" at Skidmore ignored the fact that fonts have already solved the problem. In the future, I suggest that they skid less.

I asked him why a billionaire would want to eat someone else's ice cream. He said it gives him a feeling of superiority.
Also, he said that there is a competition among billionaires to see who can be the most abusive. He still manages Microsoft: "I'm there about 15 percent of the time." The result: Windows 10 is possibly the worst spyware ever made.
Bill Gates said that Windows 10 spying, putting ads on Windows, making the Windows user interface far worse, forcing updates that are often buggy, and hiding the purpose of the updates makes him confident that he is more abusive than Google and Facebook.
Good points.
However, bad reputation with people who are technically-knowledgeable eventually flows to those who aren't.
One example: Now Facebook is being criticized in top-level news stories. I Downloaded the Information That Facebook Has on Me. Yikes. (New York Times, April 11, 2018)
Facebook was always the way it is now. But now the average person is learning about the huge negatives.
If you are a billionaire owner of Google (now with a foolish name, Alphabet, Inc.) the abuse surrounding Android makes your life less enjoyable.
Google has made abuse part of its business by allowing users of Google Android to abuse customers.
Apparently no one on Google management realized that abuse would eventually cause damage to Google's reputation.
