    I initially saw that number on a Facebook post and when I checked the source [1] it also mentioned the 15 billion figure so I went with it. Looking at it closely, the author did some “creative” math to get that number

    His total take home amounted to five times the earnings of the highest paid provincial governors over a similar period—enough to provide grain for the entire city of Rome for one year, or to pay all the ordinary soldiers of the Roman Army at the height of its imperial reach for a fifth of a year. By today’s standards that last figure, assuming the apt comparison is what it takes to pay the wages of the American armed forces for the same period, would cash out to about $15 billion

    Good catch, I should read the sources better and don’t trust the Facebook (especially the Facebook)

    No, I’m from Slovakia.

    I don’t know, it just feels weird that everytime I want to leave the room I need to first put on clothes. Like going for bathroom or have a glass of water (providing I live in an appartment with other people). Or even in the morning it feels weird, I sleep in my pyjamas so I usually wake up, have a breakfast, a cofee and only then I dress up for work. But I’m not saying which way is better, it’s just weird to me.

    And kids are a completely separate category where they can wake you up at any moment or you need to jump out of the bed to solve an emergency

    People who say 20, I’m not judging you but I just can’t imagine that

    • I grew up in small (tiny) appartment with my parrents and sharing room with my siblings
    • Then on college living in a room with 2 other people
    • Then renting an appartment with other people
    • Then owning an appartment with my gf
    • Then having kids

    Besides that small window of having an appartment just for me and my gf, I just can’t imagine sleeping naked

    Maybe I’m dumb but I had a hard time to grasp what it is actually. I guess I imagine something different behind the word “cloud”. A “platform” or “ecosystem” sounds more fitting to me

    But especially photos storing sounds kind of extreme for small opensource project like this, do you have a storage for all those data? That could be huge

    Also is the project itself open source? I can’t find the repository

    And a security would be a huge topic for me for platform like that

    Anyway, I guess I have to give it a try and a lot of my questions will clear up
