Yep. I'm really confused why this press release/advertisement for Amazon is on the front page of Hacker News. It's not new technology; it's not even close to being innovative. It's literally just an Amazon logo pasted onto an old idea. This is an advertisement.
- iscrewyou 7y agoSame here. This belongs on r/personalfinance. Not at the front page of HN. There's nothing techy or ground breaking about this other than being offered by Amazon.
- astura 7y agoHN just likes to have a discussion whenever Amazon offers a new product or service for whatever reason. Same with Apple or Google.
