Bezos and Scott launched the business in their garage, eventually moving to a rundown office in an industrial section of
If you can tell, this program is simply an exponential function and is too basic of a model to be able to simulate population growth. As you might have already thought, the total number of people in an environment won’t increase by a set percentage every cycle, and there are many factors that affect the population that aren’t included.
A simulation is simply an imitation of a situation or a process. In the case of this pandemic, governments use simulations to see how different factors, like the ones listed above, impact the spread of COVID-19.
While at Shaw, recognizing the furious rate of growth of internet usage, Bezos decided he had to get involved in online sales — and made his pitch to Scott. “I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go do this crazy thing that probably wouldn’t work since most startups don’t, and I wasn’t sure what would happen after that,” Bezos said in a 2010 speech. Though she could’ve chosen financial stability and predictability after all the upheaval she had been through, Scott instead embraced the risk. She “told me I should go for it,” Bezos said. “She wanted me to follow my passion.” They both quit D.E. Shaw, and in 1994, with Scott at the wheel and Bezos in the passenger’s seat typing a business plan for an online bookstore, they drove to Seattle.
After graduation, Scott moved to New York, but found “I was having a lot of trouble making ends meet,” she later told Rose. Though she still hoped to be a novelist, she needed steady money and got a job at D.E. Shaw, a quantitative hedge fund. She was given an office next to a young executive. Hearing “that giant laugh” of his, she has said, she became intrigued. His name was Jeff Bezos. Three months after meeting at Shaw, Bezos and Scott got engaged. (She later told Vogue that she pursued him.) They married in September 1993, when she was only 23.
For Scott, books were art. The young woman who’d wanted to be a writer since she was six delved into Kazuo Ishiguro’s The Remains of the Day and Donna Tartt’s The Secret History. She loved Nabokov and Dickens and Melville, according to an addendum to her first novel. And she treasured check-ins from Toni Morrison encouraging her to keep writing, as she told Rose.
Still, she wanted to be a writer. During her senior year, Scott, like all Princeton seniors, was required to do an independent project — in her case, a 173-page thesis — and was able to land Morrison as her adviser. Getting a high-profile or famous professor to advise a thesis required ambition, says classmate Kari Kohl; students took classes with certain professors, attended office hours, and got to know them before popping the thesis question.
The family moved from California to Florida, and although Scott’s father applied to start another investment firm, an administrative judge denied the application. In 1990, that judge barred Tuttle, who’d worked in the securities industry for almost 25 years, from advising on investments again. “His lavish spending was the reason the firm was unable to refund much of the funds it owed to clients,” the judge wrote. It’s unclear what Scott’s father went on to do, work-wise; by 1990, Scott’s mother was managing a small clothing store in Palm Beach. (The Tuttles, these days, are regularly photographed on the Palm Beach fundraising circuit, and Scott dedicated her second book to them. They did not respond to detailed requests for comment.)
A big misconception about simulations is that they’re really complicated, and that’s not necessarily the case! Simulations can end up being very complex, but they can also be very simple.
The family’s financial troubles reverberated in Scott’s life. At Princeton, she had to “work a variety of jobs to put myself through school,” she told Charlie Rose in 2013. “Maybe 30 hours a week on top of my course load. And I got into Princeton and I remember thinking wow, this is a huge opportunity for me,” she said, and was “worrying, thinking how, I hope that I can juggle these jobs, and still get the most out of my education.”
But as you approached the center and you sped up, you wouldn’t be able to feel your motion through space. Instead, what you’d begin to feel was an uncomfortable tidal force, as though the individual constituent components of your body were being stretched internally. These spaghettifying forces would distort your body into a noodle-like shape, causing you pain, loss of consciousness, death, and then your corpse would be atomized. In the end, like everything on Earth, we’d be absorbed into the black hole, simply adding to its mass ever so slightly. For the final 21 minutes of everyone’s life, under only the laws of gravity, our demises would all truly be equal.

a power-building organization that would help grassroots groups and Black communities. We focus on getting more resources on the ground to grassroots and frontline groups that are doing work. In this last election cycle, we were able to support more than 600 grassroots groups in 11 states throughout the country. We provided formal grants — anywhere from $5,000 to more than $300,000 — to various groups, depending on their size and their needs. We were also able to support them by mobilizing voters and helping educate folks about the importance and significance of this election. And we were able to connect communities with each other so they could share tools, strategies, and lessons learned.Computer-generated simulations are one of the fastest-growing technologies today, and it’s never been more important with COVID-19 around. You might have wondered how governments and agencies make decisions when it comes to enforcing lockdowns, closing schools, banning indoor dining, etc… These decisions aren’t blindly made. They’re made through simulations.
The most basic human population simulator that we could possibly create would be something like this, where the initial population is 50 and we want to see how the population grows to 1,000,000:
For her new husband, books were an opportunity. “I picked books as the first, best product to sell online after making a list of, like, 20 different products,” he told an interviewer in 1997. “There are more items in the book category than there are items in any other category by far,” he said, so an online bookstore was “a business plan that made sense in the context of that internet growth.”
But in 1987, as she finished up her junior year, her family’s financial security crumbled. A year earlier, the Securities and Exchange Commission had begun investigating her father and his investment firm after a complaint. In March of 1987, her parents filed for bankruptcy, and so did her father’s investment firm, according to an administrative law judge’s description of the problems in SEC documents; that firm, and its short-lived successor, both closed, the judge wrote.
