Re:Amazon to Shut Down All Amazon Go and Amazon Fresh Stores on Tuesday January 27, 2026 @01:28PM (#46784156)
There was a concept Amazon Fresh store with “Just Walk Out” technology on Capitol Hill in Seattle. They closed it down a couple of years back but the brand was absolutely Amazon Fresh.

That killed my interest instantly.

Predates Jassy? He has literally worked at Amazon for decades and most of that on Amazon Web Services.

I returned my 12th gen Framework and purchased an M1 Pro MBP. It was absolutely the right decision. I just wasn’t ready to accept the lower quality product for such a premium price as much as I wanted to support the company.

I actually think the title is wrong. The URL slug actually states 2021, and later in the article: "The industry shipped 348.8 million PCs in 2021..."

Wait. Is Obsidian open source? Any links to their code?
Is there some sort of milk collectors guild I don’t know about?
Channels can't monetize "Adult Content" according to "Advertiser-friendly content guidelines" from YouTube [1]. Each video I encountered was clearly marked by AI for such content. It requires human intervention to successfully verify a claim that the content is educational. I doubt most of these spam YouTube accounts are doing this. (I'm claiming spam because separate accounts are copying and pasting the same video descriptions.) It's sad to see really. Naked yoga is really great outside of this exploitation. Videos with no verbal instructions and non-instructional shots of genitalia kill the spirit of the practice. Such a shame.

+1 for Obsidian. Lots of refinement in such a young product. It has been my main driver recently. I picked it up primarily to keep things local rather than rely on an internet connection. Even so, took only a few minutes to add encrypted backups to S3 debounced on file change.
Don't forget that that delivery truck isn't just delivering boxes for you.

Another Amazon employee here. It's just lunch. We're there to give candidates a moment to relax after their morning interviews. Lunch buddies are never asked for feedback.
