Doesn't seem to me that this would work. Most of the HN audience will not go to the Complaints tab, so the forces of social shaming wouldn't work. The marketing dept only cares about complaints that affect the company's rep

Completely agree, and I'm ready to do that since I rarely use any other Prime services like video, music, or picture hosting. In fact, I got in early on Prime where they allowed me to add up to 5 people to my account to get the free sh

I cut Amazon some slack during Covid, but once that was over and things were returning to normal, I was still seeing 4-5 day Prime shipping whereas I used to always get 2 days or less. I saw a post recommending to complain to Amazon, so I d

I recently bought a Kindle to read Legend of Drizzt. The Kindle came with Kindle Unlimited at no cost, however, Kindle "Unlimited" is indeed very limited, as Amazon only includes certain titles with KU. I bought a few of the book

I'm the sole author and developer of HashBackup, written in Python. I just checked, out of curiosity, and 18% of HashBackup's non-blank lines are comment lines. Considering Perl is usually more dense than Python, I'd say yo

You've apparently never been in a precarious health situation. I have, my mother has, and she chose to end her life because her daily living situation had deteriorated to the point where she could no longer take care of herself. And

It would be nice (though likely impossible) if everyone could have unlimited assistance to make their life manageable. But even if that were available, we need to keep in mind that others may not want to continue their life for various rea
