The decision (linked above) makes the distinction based on Amazon placing itself in the supply chain between distributor and customer. eBay seems safe from this one, Newegg will have liability for those 3rd party products they actually ship

"markets can remain irrational a lot longer than you and I can remain solvent." TSLA proves this in spades, right now the stock is trading at more than double what Elon said was "overvalued" 10 weeks ago.

Isn't that a good thing for alternative social media sites? A centralized site run by that crowd is probably the optional solution for everyone.

Pre-COVID I traveled frequently to see family on the opposite coast, this is still possible with TSA Pre and only carry on bags at most major airports. However, it's risky now because airlines are under much more pressure to get flight

In fairness to the public, the two companies involved in producing Concorde have each changed names 3+ times after merging with other major aircraft and industrial concerns, and are each now fading memories as part of the two largest Europe

This is really terrible blanket advice, CF is one of AWS' worst products in my extensive experience with it (My team manages a ~$4 million monthly bill and locked into CF well before I joined). It has a number of significant limitation

This sounds a lot like my experience with AWS support. They really deeply understand AWS, are very responsive to calls/emails, but often have no tools to solve the problem we're having right now. This even happened with some of th

I'm right there with you, I considered building my own home simulator cockpit for a while, but gave up due to ROI. They're so expensive and time consuming even for a low fidelity one, and I'd need to build a new one for every

Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) is a federally recognized civil right, states and districts can't opt out of it. Unfortunately it takes lawsuits to resolve these kinds of disparities, but there is no legal basis to proceed
