Early in tortoise evolution there are HUGE benefits to a male that doesn't flip his buddies over and gets all the ladies as a result.
I believe Dawkins would argue this doesn't result in an evolutionarily stable strategy. Refer to chapter 10 of the Selfish Gene, I think it directly answers the concerns you have.
For a company like Amazon a few months probably isn't significant in the grand scheme of things. They don't operate like a startup that is constantly a few months away from failure. Plus they have a lot more employees to fill in the gaps.
Bitnami [1] does something like this. I've used their Gitlab installer and virtual appliance with success.
I trust us, but I trust Colin more, so I wish there was a simple “In case of emergency, get Colin on the phone and have him securely transfer a copy of the key files backed to me” option in case disaster strikes.
If Colin has your private keys then he could be compelled to reveal the contents of your data to a third party. This seems to run counter to the design goals of the system.
Otherwise I found the posting to be enlightening. I learned quite a bit from reading it!
Thanks for the link! It looks like the same information is also here:

When you invent something really useful that's never existed before... don't you deserve something awesome in return?
This probably feels like the ethically correct outcome when you've invented something interesting, however it runs counter to free market economics. Being first can provide a competitive edge but it isn't the only factor.
Thanks for pointing that out. I see it now and the full text has been since added to the repository. I was looking at the source and only saw copyright!
I don't see any license specified. Is there a plan to license this software?
I've always liked Russ Cox's solution [1]
Wozniak designed (and built) the Apple I circuit. Jobs was not an engineer, he filled the marketing role.
It appears to be 100% cotton [1] (linked from the "Launch a Campaign page [2]).
Am I missing something here?

I don't understand why I would pay $66.83 for the convenience of having these items shipped to me in a pretty box.

Agreed, the cause and effect between heart disease and periodontal disease is not well proven. However, the beneficial effects of flossing in preventing periodontal disease is well understood and you're welcome to read the literature yourself if you don't believe me. I believe this is exactly what I said in my original comment.
Agreed! For the causation you'll have to read the extensive literature on periodontal disease.
I believe the logic goes something like this: Research shows that perio disease may be linked to heart disease [1]. Flossing has been proven to reduce your chance of heart disease so it also reduces your chance of heart disease.
I'm not going to try and dig up a bunch of studies to back this up. I drank the Kool-Aid years ago. It appears to have paid off for me in the dentists chair!

No outdoor activities in Colorado? I'm surprised.
> In the realm of news, almost no one knows who Dennis Ritchie was.
I can attest to this. Here at work we work almost exclusively in C (embedded devices) and my boss had no idea who Dennis Ritchie is.
I also ANACM, however I can guarantee you that it is impossible for any gear to break or bend under those conditions (the first model year for the Ford Focus was 1998).
