@paulswaney3 As long as a high-yield checkng account is near or above my mortgage i'd rather just keep the liquidity there. I sleep the same either way.

Whenever I see things like these I assume it’s rage bait but then I remember how stupid the average American is and I understand why @DaveRamsey is so wealthy. Imagine paying down a 3.75% mortgage. The bank jumped for joy. They prob had a board meeting to party after seeing that $260k gift.

i think they'd probably prefer fewer, larger sellers. there's not room for infinite seller expansion. maybe they make more money on ppc, but they have to store more inventory and deal with with may more small sellers that probably take up a lot of resources. plus its a bad buyer experience
English
@AdamChudy @michaelpatron0 I thought that the recent policies are designed to squeeze the weakest sellers off the platform.
English
This gonna be a big problem for Amazon at some point very soon. With less sellers, you'd think we'd be treated better....lmao.

@MichaelAlbertMD @peptidewatch I actually agree with your general point on studies, but large scale, anecdotal evidence is a form of evidence. It's worth paying attention when thousands of people tell you the effect something has on them and there are clear trends.

Peptides are the final boss of bro science—maximum hype, minimal evidence.

I'm on week 4 of retatrutide and already down 12.4 lbs. More interestingly:
- I seem to have much more energy and focus
- I find myself spontaneously preferring standing desks, walking rather than ubering, opting into exercise etc.
- My blood sugar no longer crashes after eating
- I don't drink nearly as much but when I do my hangovers seem a lot weaker
- My food preferences spontaneously shifted in favor of fish, salads and fresh fruit
- My GI health improved a lot, I think mostly thanks to it being easier to resist trigger foods
I've had no negative symptoms or downsides, and am still on a low starter dose (~2.5mg)

Proof - it would be kinda goofy if I never turned off my PPC. lol.

Every Amazon seller of any size knows the cardinal rule of pricing. Nothing can be cheaper than Amazon.
They’ll even take your buy box due to resellers hopping on a platform too. Most sellers deal with this by literally buying out the reseller if it’s not many units.
Stacy Mitchell@stacyfmitchell
1. New evidence shows Amazon compelling specific sellers to hike their prices on other shopping sites. This is from depositions @guardian obtained from the California antitrust case. Expect a lot more to come out at trial. This drives prices up & is why Amazon has an iron grip.

It’s worse than you think.
The government has enough data to show, “Nearly 100% of the students who have gone to this school studying this major have defaulted on their student loans. For decades.”
They call those loans predatory.
Demand forgiveness.
But won’t stop loaning.
Alex Godofsky@AlexGodofsky
People think this is "for no good reason" but the reason is very simple and fairly explicit: if you allow bankruptcy, you have to allow underwriting, and underwriting means not giving loans to a bunch of people they wanted to get loans.

@PenguinOfTroy Different sports, different norms.
Nobody cares that they celebrate at the plate. Throwing the bat like that is considered disrespectful and classless. He'd be tossed in a real game.
English
If this was football and the kid scored a walk off touchdown, would we be wringing our hands over this level of celebration?
Get the sticks out of your asses and let kids celebrate big moments in big ways.
Danny Kanell@dannykanell
The coaches and parents who allow this to go on are the problem. Instead of teaching kids how to play the game the right way and show respect for the opponent they’re worried about getting viral attention. Embarrassing.

I had a lawmaker tell me the other day that Amazon is *good* because it gives small businesses the opportunity to reach consumers.
I feel like she was so close to getting it.
Amazon is a critical platform for many small businesses, which gives Amazon the power to destroy them.
English
Blocked dude below but wanted to let everyone know this dude is a clown so if you like a circus, follow him. He was a SMALL seller and hasn't sold on Amazon in almost a decade. His posts are all generic BS . LMAO. Pay...

First time I ever went on the record with a reporter even though I've been asked a million times. Feel like Amazon has gone too far this time and hope everyone sees it.

In the last 12 months I have spent over 7m on Amazon ads alone. Yesterday I was notified that 1 Aug I can no longer use CCs. This coupled with DD+7 is painful for any biz's cash flow. @amznsellerhelp @amazon there has to be a better solution for us bootstrapped businesses.
English
It seems like a good idea which is why I question what I'm missing. My assumption would be the math doesn't work in most places or there is a regulatory/legal reason not to do it.
Walmart isn't dumb. If they could get good solar PR and make a profit I have to assume they'd be doing it. They already have put out a ton of panels onto their roofs. So I assume parking lots must be much more expensive and difficult
English
I actually do think this is a good idea. Parking lots already are on the grid for streetlights, they get blazing hot in the summer, and accessing them for maintenance and repair is super easy. Plus, parking lots are big enough you can reach almost like utility-scale instead of small scale from residential rooftop.
Give A Shit About Nature@giveashitnature
France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces. Parking lots over a certain size have three to five years to cover at least half their surface area with solar canopies or face fines. The projected output: up to 11 gigawatts of capacity, the equivalent of 10 nuclear reactors. The panels shade the cars. They can charge EVs directly underneath them. They generate electricity for the grid. The parking lot goes from dead infrastructure to power plant without using a single additional acre of land. France plans to increase solar tenfold and double wind capacity by 2033. The US has approximately 800 million parking spaces. Eight hundred million. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight. Why aren't we doing this?

@AdamChudy @tobi Yeah I think it’s definitely a too varied problem.
I mean you’re in violation if your links don’t even have enough padding. No way for Shopify to police that.
I’d def try vibe coding with a browser MCP and wcag MCP
English
i've got to imagine no 1st party solution could ever exist except in an advisory role (WCAG compliance checker) and there are plenty of those tools.
spitballing here because i haven't tried it but,
i wonder if running your site in Chrome DevTools/Playwright and a WCAG MCP (like this github.com/alexanderuk82/…) and having it propose+implement solutions is a reasonable scenario?
Might rely on checking out the theme code with shopifycli and vibe coding it from there, more details here x.com/danyay/status/…

In addition it misunderstand what streaming services compete on, which is differentiated content, not price.
If you want cable, you can still get cable. Nobody is stopping you. The reason people don't is they value what netflix offers.
If you want free there is TONS of free. Youtube, tiktok and lets not forget Tubi. For someone with truly no money there is literally a streaming service that costs ZERO dollars with over 300,000 movies and tv episodes on demand. That's EXACTLY what you just said you would expect in the market.
English
This is a misunderstanding of the market. In reality we were all being subsidized by investors to get services below their actual value which is most of the companies you name lost billions of dollars while they grew. At some point that has to equalize.
Netflix can raise prices because people value Netflix.
English
This is why streaming services have famously reduced their prices, not added stream quality tiers below HD and not added ads. The free market makes sure that if they all raise their prices a new streaming service will enter an-…
Wait. [checks notes]
No… no no no no, noooooo
Tushar@Tusharufo2
In a free market, I can’t sell bread at 100× the normal price. Competitors will undercut me, and even if I buy them out, new ones will keep entering. That cycle never ends. Predatory pricing fails because the moment I raise prices, customers leave. Cartels fail because members cheat and new entrants break in. The only reliable way to maintain a monopoly is through the state. By trading favors with politicians, I can use government power to block competitors under the guise of regulation, public safety, or national interest. In reality, those rules exist to protect cronies like me. This can only happen publicly when the government passes regulations, because regulations are the public face of cronyism. Thus contrary to what dumb socialists think, solution is to protest and ask removal of regulations not billionaires and capitalism itself.
