Exactly, don’t hate the player, hate the game. I’m not saying it’s right or wrong, nor fair, more pointing out that attacking them for using the levers and dials available To them to return value to shareholders, is short sighted. literally

It’s also not in their best interest to let things get out of control. Free markets ebb and flow. I don’t know of any other platform that has a markedly better vetting process, Walmart, eBay, AliExpress, Wish, etc all have much the same or

Ok then it sounds like we agree on all points then. They could certainly do better at cleaning up the fraud.

But that is no fault of Amazon is my point, it’s the business owners failure for failing to adapt to changing market conditions. And my gripe is that they project their failure at Amazon rather than owning their own poor decisions.

But that’s changing the measurement to fit your argument, most sellers on Amazon aren’t directly manufacturing their goods either, yet still have margin. We are talking about retailers switching how they offer their goods. Rely less on the

I already do. I’ve bashed strange designs and my initials into rocks far from civilization when I’m out hiking. With the exact thought of throwing someone for a loop long into the future. They are always subtle and small (so as not to be an

I could go either way in this. Considering all Chinese entities must comply with their government no matter where they operate, the US was gate keeping the Chinese government from operating here. Not just some random company. And I’m ok wit

Yup, my brother did this for a couple years and after seeing how the contractors handled (or threw, or kicked, etc) the packages, I avoid FedEx like the plague. Unfortunately their content employees are amazing.

At this point, I think the problem is the validity of the response from GPT though. I’ve seen some terribly unpredictable and incorrect results. At least with Google I have options to pick through. Once that is solved, it’s gonna be hard to

That’s what I see a lot too. Old code from when they were learning stuff, usually not reflective of their current levels. Most things you do for an employer can’t be shared, so that’s why I’ve always given it low credence.

He may have thought it was when he made the offer(given it was even genuine to begin with), but not when it closed. Hence the lawsuit trying to back out. Musk has also said publicly that he over paid.

Interesting. I’ve hired At least 100 developers in my career And have never seen coding challenges or boot camps as Red flags, rather I see them as someone going out and trying to learn and improve. On the contrary certain universities and

Not spammy but actually useful SEO optimized informational websites. Easy long term revenue, some have paid out well over $5k an hour, in income for the amount of time I put into them. And apps on various app stores.

The millions of Uighur locked away love their government eh? Probably only after the “re-education”.

Maybe we can talk about the millions of Uighur China has stashed away in concentration camps? The Chinese don’t exactly have clean hands either there bud. They have millions of their own citizens suffering, and dying, by their own governmen
