No, he's not. He's saying the stock award, had he vested it all and not sold it, would have been worth 500k per year because of how much the stock has gone up.
New grads at amazon make 100 - 120k + 30-60k of stock or bonuses per year.

That isn't quite how I understood this to have gone. It seems like the Russians very much did want to go to the moon, and would have beaten the American's there if they had succeeded in getting their version of the Saturn V off the ground in one piece.

You're missing the point the article is making. If people choose not to take the vaccine, why stop them from going out and getting infected? They have informed consent on the dangers of covid, they can make their own decision.

This seems like a much more positive response than the one they took with MongoDB. I agree, Amazon hasn't done much, but maybe this could be a start?

Would it be a good thing if businesses could be registered in all international character sets? I could see this causing problems. Government officials are only going to be needed to speak the official languages. How would they even refer to these entities they can't read?

You're not wrong, but you can imagine for a non technical audience, the "internet" is the thing you browse, and "zoom" is the meeting machine you use and they are not inherently related.
