If you got an email about your purchase, there's a lot of opportunity to establish you bought something from Amazon.
If you used a credit card, there's a lot of opportunity to establish you bought something from Amazon.
If you bought something fulfilled by Amazon, there is more than a lot of opportunity to establish you bought something on Amazon...there is certain knowledge and any nefarious activity is likely to be assumed to be blamed on Amazon.
If an adversarial actor was trying to exfiltrate purchase data, TiMOVO would be an easier target than Amazon. Good luck.
Color models always involve engineering tradeoffs because human color perception can involve:
1. The human perception of particular colors involves negative response in the cones. You can simulate this mathematically, but you can't reproduce it in a gamut.
2. Some humans have tetra-chromatic visual experience to the point of awareness. A larger group have tetra-chromatic visual experience that is measurable based on their response to testing.
3. Scientifically there is nothing different about the "visible spectrum" beyond anthropocentric interests and our experience of it is based on adaptation to particular survival events, not on theory or mathematics.
The house has received pushback from official Frank Lloyd Wright organisations such as the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation (The Foundation) and the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conversancy
From a practical standpoint this usually means that if you put this house in a publication about Wright, the Foundation and Conservancy will deny you use of their archival material and photographic access to their sites.
Their behavior is why you rarely see Wrights work at Florida Southern College in books on Wright despite Florida Southern being the largest collection of Wright designed buildings anywhere, one of a few examples of his commercial work, absolutely amazing designs, and actually in ordinary use…worth a visit if you are passing by Lakeland on I4.
I was wondering if there was some practical, legalese reason for this "pushback." It seems that whenever someone tries to faithfully deliver on some other artist's vision, the original artist's foundation or estate or representatives will always chime in to say something like "Well, we disavow this work and it has nothing to do with the actual artist!" No matter how much love, care, and attention to detail in the derivative work. Happens a lot when a movie is based on a book. The adaptation is never good enough.

"Trying" is not a meaningful bar to clear. Love or care doesn't matter, either. According to the article, the foundation says that the building is simply not built to Wright's spec, which is an objective measure.
The owners don't outright deny this, using a handful of of qualifiers in response: "true to Wright's plan, intent and spirit while also ensuring that the home would meet current building regulations."
Saying your house was designed by a famous architect, especially one the stature of Wright brings a value and prestige that is worth claiming, like any other brand. On the flip side, if you own the brand, it is worth protecting from knock offs.
That said, building code changes over time, and even if Wright's original design met building code at the time it was designed, it likely doesn't meet current building regulations. I.e. it would be illegal to build exactly to the original design, or at least if you did it would be illegal to use the building.
Unhinged comment. Is the Parthenon not architecture because it’s not ADA-accessible? If someone installs an elevator does it become architecture again?
Having been a reader approxumately all my life, approximately all the books have been worth my time.
Though the best book is far and away Three Little Pigs which my now grown-ass-man child called “the wolf book” when requesting it at bedtime at the age of incredible. I highly recommend it — time spent with your child I mean,
But if you want an HNish book recommendation?…The Art of Computer Programming is well worth trying to read because it will be challenging for as long as you keep at it. Good luck.
I struggle to keep up with all the content and conversations
You can't keep up with most things, let alone everything.
The feeling that you aren't keeping up is the result of increased experience with the world as an adult combined with a mistaken belief held when your experiences consisted largely of childhood.
On the bright side, once you accept how much you don't know and that you can't know everything, you realize that the rest of your life can be spent being amazed by the new things you learn. Or not.
Or to put it another way, trying to keep up is a manifestation of FOMO. Good luck.
