It’s rallying because there are a lot of undervalued stocks. There have been really good deals the past 2 months. And stocks are a great inflation hedge.
Re:Amazon is shipping expired food, customers say on Monday October 21, 2019 @05:39PM (#21317738)
I don’t know why I’m being downvoted - Amazon FBA does not commingle seller inventory. The products sold by a seller are only the ones they shipped to FBA. If you request your inventory back, you will only get the ones back you sell. So if a seller sends in a bunch of counterfeit items for a listing, those are physically separated and don’t get mixed with the good inventory that is there.

There are multiple sellers for the same product and they could definitely have bad/old inventory - and they will win the buy box with the lowest price - but it’s still not commingled.

Inventory isn’t commingled between sellers for the same SKU.

Yeah, that’s a terrible looking pizza, weird they would publicly demo it with that thing as the product.

The utra wide angle 13mm lens will be awesome to have, been waiting a long time for that. One more reason not to carry a dslr.
It’s by law in Japan.
Zero traffic congestion, close to free to operate, fulfillment in minutes? Under 1 hour order delivery? There’s obviously downsides like sound and then falling out of the sky, but getting anything under 5 pounds two orders of magnitudes faster is a big deal.

Re:Trout Tickling on Wednesday August 01, 2018 @04:10AM (#17660477)
It’d be really hard to get that close to a trout and I’m calling bullshit on this.

Wait, what do u know, a bunch of videos of trout ticklers on YouTube. Thx internet.

Wave G. I think its a spin off a small isp.
Nice. Our 200+ unit condo building in Portland just got gigabit internet via line of sight radio on the roof from another building with fiber.

This is a trend that will definitely take off and removes the huge barriers of entry that laying cable requires. 1ms latency too.

But if interest rates keep going up, it could depress housing prices (or at least stunt it relative to inflation).
Re:Amazon's policies promote counterfeiting on Thursday March 01, 2018 @09:17PM (#16498413)
Almost everytime we contact them, we ask them to lock our products down. It's a mystery how sellers get Brand Gating, but there is plenty in the forums about it. That's part of the reason this was written, hopefully someone there can do something about it.

You really think the author of the post (me) doesn't communicate regularly with the Brand Registry team? Day 5 for them to do anything on this latest one.
BMW i3 has the worst designed interior of any car i’ve ever been in and the road noise is insane. I’d take a few annoyances that come with the first run of Tesla’s startup manufacturing over the i3 any damn day.
Re:Paradise Papers: Dear Tim Cook on Wednesday November 08, 2017 @07:38AM (#15651783)
In Mexico, people don’t finish their houses and leave rebar coming out the roof to pay less tax. In Vietnam, the houses are really thin because property taxes are based on width. For an American company selling things overseas, they’re going to setup in Ireland or wherever else because the laws make it advantageous. All these decisions are functions of the laws written, so if they want to complain and write open letters, it should be to lawmakers, not the heads of companies operating logically.
Re:Tesla confirms “Autopilot” crash in Montana on Wednesday July 13, 2016 @02:05AM (#12084160)
I think lawsuits and government intervention will kill self driving cars for the next decade or two. Even if autonoumous are 10x better, thats still hundreds of deaths per year that will be attributed to a half dozen autonomous car maker's software.
That sounds orders of magnitude more difficult. You might as well 5-axis machine them.

Does Prime shipping still apply? It only says free 2-day shipping on orders over $49.

Edit: Found FAQ on that - If you have this in addition to prime, there's no order threshold. http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=b2b_...

That's crazy.

Wireless power transmission will change everything in hardware if someone can pull it off. I'd bet Apple is waiting until they can do low power wirelessly to launch their smart watch.
