What is the main problem on Amazon? Is it fake reviews? The glut of cheap knock-offs? Or Amazon itself manufacturing popular items thereby using the store as a free channel for testing out what works? I am trying to understand fake reviews,

The way I see it, the camp 1 is at fault only if they are not revising their stance. Otherwise there is nothing to discuss and no two camps story at all. There is only one camp, camp 2.

You are right. I was coming to the same conclusion myself towards the end of my comment above.

Aren't these deductions built into the tax code? They are there to take advantage of and these people are using them. As long as they are not doing illegal and shady things like it was claimed about a recent popular figure, I don'

How is it even physically possible to deliver 400 packages in 10 hours? That comes to 1.5 minutes per package. One cannot do it even if it’s in the same area and every house has a package. Amazon employees already pee in a bottle to save ti

The good thing about NPR is, you can ask for clarification and they will provide it for you, if you are so inclined, and they will correct it if they are wrong.

The way the algorithms and the current approach work, there is really no way to participate on a platform and not get slowly pulled into the extreme machine one way or the other. It's not just politics, the algorithms are geared toward

Come up with a project and write code. For example you can just implement the web server you were mentioning. That is a good start. Build it and see how to scale it to handle millions of requests. Just creating the code to test it will be a

Capitalism right now is just a perverse version of its self from 50 yrs ago. The politicians made money at the expense of the common man and now it’s eroding the trust in it, finally. This is to be expected. Unfortunately even though it did

Worst part is they don’t give any reason. Looks like it’s purely a cost cutting measure. It probably doesn’t meet their ad percentages for a sub and it probably throws a wrench into their load balancing plans as the sub only gets active in

It’s great to see they are brutally honest with themselves, I didn’t expect anything else. Walmart’s problem is with urban and close urban centers. Their image in these areas is in the dumpster. I don’t know how they can improve it either.

Comparing this to regular rents is not really fair isn't it? Even if the government chooses to pay rent instead of providing this camp, getting landlord's to rent to a homeless person cannot be counted on. On top of that they stil

This has been open knowledge for a few years now. I was fully expecting it to be cancelled before launch. In that sense am surprised it saw the light of day. However, I have never seen an explanation of why they need an OS written from scra

What is preventing people from uploading the video back to YouTube? after all there are tons of shows already on there that are owned by media companies. I am sure this Charlie video has a lot of copies floating around.

If anything for a first time user Macs are less intuitive. The whole window system is very different from everything out there. The app does not die when you close the window. One other thing the author forgot to mention is, in most cases o

I had a similar drop in battery myself. It used be 254 and in a few weeks it dropped to 220. At that time they also changed the representation to show theoretical miles instead of raw miles as the default. So they used some algorithm to sho

One thing I noticed is the longer someone stays at a company the more they get under paid compared to peers in the industry. The real pay hikes come when you switch jobs. Google is a company that I guess doesn’t see a lot of attrition compa

I would love ve to understand what kind of user data they sell to what kind of clients and how those clients use it. Feels to me they might have opened up a can of worms that was kept shut or may be it already happened before too.

I am sure they will build that sidewalk stack into every possible device they can. It’s going to be a terrible thing given how Amazon has no scruples about surveillance and tracking. It will happily build back doors into this to sell to law

For me its shocking that we as a population have become so numb to so much death around us. Wonder what it says about society in general. Would be fascinating to read any research reports on that aspect.

I still don't understand why Zuckerberg is scared like this. Did they do some user studies to gauge the repercussions from this? May be they did and so are scared for a reason. IMO, a vast majority of the users don't care about pr

I have always wondered why "verified purchase" is a thing. That should be the default and only way to review. May be when they were little it was needed, but now they already know who is adding the review, they can easily check if

Somewhat tangentially related, if some item with a lid claims to be waterproof or airtight, are there standards for it? Specifically can we count on it to be bug/pest proof? I would expect something like this survival bunker to be bug

So the ball is in Zuckerberg's court now and he will wait until the 2022 elections to bring his buddy back on. I am sure the Rs are going to win the house and senate and so Zuck we be emboldened again.
