The speed of Amazons back tracking is amazing.

Amazon has an experimental culture. Someone approved this experiment on a smaller site.

If that experiment had more purchases they would have wanted to roll it out broadly.

But they aren’t even willing to run the experiment and potentially lose sales.

Unpopular opinion.

Not the worst order ever to investigate these people.

I’ve donated to about 5-6 campaigns and I estimate I’ve received 5-6 thousand texts.

Reporting spam doesn’t work. Texting stop doesn’t work.

Hard to think of anything companies hate more than unknowns in COGS they can’t control.

It would be better if the policy was just once “here’s the tarrifs for the next year. Deal with it.”

Still terrible, but at least you could plan.

Hey. NYT. How about a pallet cleanser?

Just throw in one or two stories about puppies being rescued or AI curing some diseases.

Anything good.

Modern coding with AI is a strange expience.

I wanted to change some animation behavior, but it kept failing at the request.

I made the same request again but started with “you’ve done a great job. I think you can do this…” and repeated my request.

This time. Flawless code.

At least Gillead was environmentally friendly. I thought they would at least let the market decide.

We’ll do anything in this country to avoid funding childcare, education, or reforming gun laws.

Interesting choice. Nintendo usually

  1. Has a hit console.
  2. Tries something radical as a folllowup.
  3. Figures out how to make concepts from 2 a hit a generation later.

Today they decided just to iterate. Is that good or bad? I want one.
