The OP is not trying to punish Amazon. They are sharing valuable insights into which range of products are manipulated. Thanks OP, the writeup was quite valuable.

Of course, I am not advocating that a merchant should never be liable for a product defect. All I am saying that there may be many mitigating or aggravating circumstances. Note how the law that you cite also says "could be liable&quo

the question here is of course, how should one classify a manufacturing defect that affects a tiny percentage of the product? Is that a merchantability issue? Is it realistic for a merchant to test every single product so extensively to unc

Why wouldn't they? They figured out which products are manipulated. As long as Amazon are offering other products and services that are worth purchasing makes no sense to not use those. It is excellent advice and worth keeping in mind.

I would disagree with this sentiment. While I don't know what law says here - but, in my opinion, the mere act of selling a legal product by a merchant should not imply that the merchant is liable for all possible damages that the prod

Thanks for the writeup - it is great to hear stories of getting bootstrapped from zero - one customer at time. We do live in wondrous times when this doable for many more people that previously was possible.

What if the company does not make it clear what the terms of use are - wich covers pretty much 99.99% of face book users. They trick you - you trick-em back.

Addendum: You'll get some experience in fighting snakes during your comprehensive exam as well. If the fight was rough try to pick a different species of snake for your defense.

In my interpretation of the reply, they were "lucky" in that the field took off and became economically viable to be good at it. Frankly, back 20 years ago I would have never thought that watching someone play a game would become

I am going to venture the hypothesis that people will make the same number of car trips - just to other destinations. Similar to how building more or wider roads do not reduce congestions - more traffic takes its place.

Fastmail lets you receive emails for the domains you own. Not forward, but actually be delivered there. Plus you can create other free addresses with domains such as fastmail.us etc. All of which can be seamlessly connected to the same sin

It is not how it works at all. The fallacy here is that a human body is a machine with well-defined intake and output. How would one even know what is "exactly" the right amount? Over a year we consume 1 million calories. If one w

It is not about "how it looks". It is very likely that their lives are much worse (or about to turn much worse). They are revolting because their lives are turning from being more like the US into being more like China. PS. A thou

There is no reason to rise up. You can just vote. And it works just fine. And when your side loses, that's because democracy works. Sometimes democracy means that idiots will win if there were more of them. There is no cure for that.

Yeah right. People talking about revolution in America have no idea whatsoever of what the life of the people that actually revolt is like.

Simple answer: because life in the USA is incomparably better and fairer than in Chile and Lebanon. I find it ironic how a site that labels itself "free-thinking" and "open democracy" is everything but. Instead, it is us

I don't follow why you equate journalism with covering corruption - that's just a small fraction of all news. Overall I am not sure what point are you trying to make. That today you feel happier as a programmer? Sure, good for you
