From whose point of view? A mythical “10x” working at a Californian small startup making IoT juice machines isn't necessarily doing anything more useful.
I think he's the guy from the blog and he's making a joke

vvdcect commented on DIY Amps: A Roadmap for Beginners (2017) audioprimate.blog/2017/06... · Posted by u/wallflower
I've built a half dozen Fender Bassmans and a few Fender Super amps over the years. I thought the article would be about this kind of amp building, but evidently not many hacker news readers play blues harp through a tube amp.
Low tech tube amps are quite easy to build, although they cost a few hundred because the transformers, chassis and tubes can be pricey and the cabs and speakers aren't cheap. The results are great, though, and I'd say go for it if you are thinking about trying.
Get everything you need from Tubes and More dot com or eBay.
Do you have any links to resources on building the said amps?

I'm an investor in an Esports organisation that some of you may have heard of, however I no longer have anything to do with it and am in the process of selling my shares to the other investors. The reason has nothing to do with profit but morality, in my opinion this industry is nothing but the exploitation of some of the more vulnerable people in our society.
Talk to a journalist or send over any evidence you have of the said exploitation.

I wonder what other life forms are inside that jar apart from the plant. Is the tiny sealed world a paradise or a hell for them?
If the soil was taken from the garden there should be hexapods within it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Springtail

Are there any canonical guides to building a jar-rarium? Lots of crappy YouTube videos but nothing very thorough and complete.
The video in the article is pretty good at explaining all you need to know on how to do it.

I wonder if part of what makes it work is luck of the draw wrt. the microbial life that was present at the start. You need stuff that will break down the dead plants at a good enough rate but nothing that competes for resources or produces anything toxic to the plant. Or maybe that's a typical microbial makeup for sample of gardener's compost?
Yeah I don't know if you noticed the white patch on the lower part of the terrarium, that to me looks like a mix of the plants root system and mycorrhizal fungi, so there should have been microbes present within the soil when it was first planted.
I'm curious about this, any references for me to read about?
