Amazon Fulfillment Warehouse Tour

This afternoon, I took a one-mile walking tour of an Amazon fulfillment warehouse that’s mostly run by robots, here in San Diego. This facility spans 3,330,000² feet, employs 4,500 people, and operates 23/7 in three shifts with one hour of daily downtime.
I highly recommend taking one of these tours which are free and open to the public in nearly 20 states: Amazon Tours.
The most fascinating part was watching the robots disappear into the darkness as they moved shelves of Amazon products since they don’t need light to see where they’re going.
Sorry, no photos allowed.

Somebody emailed me out of the blue offering to sell me coyier.com. Usually I’m not interested in domains. I have this one, it’s fine. Subdomains are cool.

The Bucks And Damian Lillard End Their Brief, Forgettable Relationship

The Bucks And Damian Lillard End Their Brief, Forgettable Relationship

Damian Lillard's tenure as a star almost certainly fell apart when his left Achilles tendon did in late April. Now his tenure as a Milwaukee Buck is over, too. The team announced Tuesday that it will waive Lillard and stretch the remaining $113 million on his contract over the next five years, thus concluding the oddly unsatisfying Giannis-Dame era.

On paper, it was a perfect fit; on the court, it never cohered. Lillard will receive all that money he's due without having to play another basketball game. Surely he wants to play more, however. He also turns 35 in two weeks, and will be 36 by the time he's ready to log serious minutes again, on a repaired tendon, as a 6-foot-2 guard already toeing the line of athletic viability.
