  I’ve read a couple of people posting recently about Amazon sending out used or damaged goods. Well…add me to the list. We purchased an ADA compliant toilet on Amazon. I opened it today and was removing parts from the styrofoam. In the compartment with the lid were several chunks of ceramic. Largish chunks. But the lid was perfect. I lifted the base, and in a separate compartment, at the very bottom, under the rest of the toilet, the base was shattered. So, okay, it was broken. But how did the 2”x2” chunks of ceramic get from one styrofoam compartment to another? The ONLY reasonable explanation I have is that the toilet was purchased by someone else. It was damaged. They loaded it back into the box, putting the broken pieces in a single compartment and sent it back to Amazon. Then Amazon sent it to me. Broken. Sigh. Back it goes. I just hope they don’t send it out to someone else. I’m thinking of writing ‘broken’ all over the box.

  The Yale endowment chief who compounded 13.7 percent a year for 36 years and died in 2021 accidentally destroyed the mutual fund industry in a free 70-minute Yale guest lecture on the model that turned $1 billion into $31 billion. Yale charges $86,000 a year to sit in that classroom. He posted the entire course to Open Yale for nothing. Almost no one paying a financial advisor 1 percent of their retirement has finished the lecture. His name was David Swensen. He ran Yale's endowment from 1985 to 2021 and generated returns that beat every peer institution and every Wall Street benchmark. He never worked for a bank. He never chased quarterly performance. He turned down offers to run money for Wall Street firms his entire career. The 70-minute clip in this video is his 2011 guest lecture inside Robert Shiller's ECON 252 Financial Markets course. The whole model fits on a napkin. Diversify across six unrelated asset classes. Ignore the crowd. Take advantage of the fact that a university endowment has a perpetual time horizon and no client who wants their money back next quarter. Compound. That single discipline turned $1 billion into $31 billion and paid for roughly a third of Yale's operating budget every year for a decade. "For the individual investor, the best portfolio is a diversified basket of index funds. Everything else is professional overreach." That is a line Swensen returned to across every public appearance. He wrote it into his 2005 book "Unconventional Success" so that the retail investors he could not personally manage would stop paying advisors 1 percent of their savings to underperform the S&P 500. Every university endowment on earth copied his model. Every hedge fund on Wall Street quietly tries to reverse-engineer it. Every retail investor is still buying a target-date fund from a company that charges three quarters of a percent to do less than half of what he taught for free. The lecture is free on Open Yale Courses. His book is under twenty dollars on Amazon. Almost none of the millions who watched have ever asked what a "perpetual time horizon" would do to their own retirement plan. The model is free. The willingness to actually run it before your next fund switch, portfolio rebalance, or advisor renewal is the entire edge.

  @monarch_money Since it seems all amazon ones always are "amazon" or "amazon marketplace" and that explains the issue, are you planning on updating so it matches "amazon marketplace as well or at least an option to allow that unless there is some reason you don't?

  @AdamGuidry63030 @MariaDeAngelo9 @grok Huh, it's everything together, dumbass. His DNA, his knife purchase, the knife being missing, attempting to delete his amazon purchase records, driving during the murder window, powering down his phone from just before the murders until just after, porn searches consistent with the murders, stolen female ID's in his closet, etc etc. I'm sorry you can't piece this together, but we all know you're borderline retarded. One thing doesn't prove it, it's all of it. There will be no trial. There likely won't even be a hearing. Do you even have the slightest clue about the law?

  As a 1990 Art Institute of Seattle grad, my eyes lit up when I was at Silver Platters in Bellevue (it's still there), and saw this Alice In Chains video compilation disc with our class project included. The band hadn't broken yet. The class would book, promote, record an audio demo and produce a video as part of our finals. Alice In Chains was our assignment, although I took a quarter off to work which put me back one class. I didn't participate in this shoot. Bad timing! Jerry Cantrell would be seen in the halls of AIS with the black leather jacket with "CHAINS" on the back of it, but he looked like all the other students there, lol. I had no idea who he was at the time. The audio was recorded at AIS on a Neotek console and 2-inch 24 track. The video was shot at The Backstage in Ballard, WA, on 3/4 inch video tape. The editing was done in house at AIS. A little raw, but full of character, everything was eventually sent to Columbia Records, who re-edited the AIS video and put their audio over the top. It would eventually be included on the DVD "Music Bank" which can be found on Amazon. The original edit is floating around out there, Scott Stine preserved it and I've seen it here on X. Here's the version on the DVD with a bit of upscaling. Enjoy a bit of Seattle music history before they made it big. With 'Man In the Box' re-entering the Billboard charts this month, it seemed appropriate to post.

  Solo Amazon FBA sellers bleed cash to overcharged fees, ghost returns, and PO mismatches that Amazon's own AI and every incumbent FBA tool skip. Built Vendact to fix that—an always-on ops agent delivering one daily report on what actually moves P&L. Live soon.

  @amazon @amazonIN Extremely disappointed with this auto-renewal practice. Why isn’t the customer notified by email/SMS **before** the auto-debit? We get notifications after the money is deducted, when it’s already too late. This feels like daylight robbery. Please fix this!

  @Tom_A_Lynch no.. anthropic and openai just dont want to give profits to hyperscalers and neoclouds if they can just build their own clouds eventually. if amazon and others get the orders they could build it no problem at all, just spend a little more to build datacenters where people are not bothered by them and you could build as much as you want. tsmc and others would be very modivated if you just paid them 2x the current prices.. things are just not moving quicker because their isn't a real bidding war on supply yet.

  .@amazon literally stole $53 from me. They took a product back for REFUND but issues a GIFT CARD. Then when I went to buy something else they applied it to that gift card. Which I did not know what it was. The Supervisor I just spoke with spoke over me, was nasty, rude 1/

  To end the data center discourse once and for all, I propose a simple idea: for one day, every data center goes offline. The American public has zero clue how interwoven and dependent their lives are on the services data centers provide. No email, texts, FaceTime, WhatsApp, or many phone calls. No Google Maps, Waze, uber, or other navigation aids. No news, television, YouTube. No online health portal access, remote work, remote therapy, remote meetings, no remote anything. The stock market shuts down, as does Amazon, eBay, and all other e-commerce. Very very quickly, the public might realize how insane the value these nondescript buildings offer society. Yes it would cost the companies running these a lot of money. And yes, essential infrastructure and services should probably be maintained. But the opportunity costs facing them from a total ban on new data centers dwarfs one day of revenue. I don’t see another way out. The populace is too entrenched already, and there’s social capital and real capital available to the loudest and most violently anti data center voices around. The outrage cycle won’t break itself.

  Step 9: The entire system is designed so you never think about any of this and that's the actual product Amazon is selling. "Amazon isn't selling you products. Amazon is selling you the absence of friction. The absence of thinking about where something comes from, how it gets here, who touches it, what happens when it's wrong, and what happens when you send it back. One click. One day. One door. Done." "The robot that picks your order doesn't know what it's picking. The packer who boxes it doesn't have time to verify it. The machine that builds the box doesn't care what's inside it. The scanner that sorts it reads the label, not the contents. The driver who delivers it has 90 seconds and a GPS pin. And the return you send back might be crushed and written off before the refund hits your account." "None of it is broken exactly. All of it works. Over 40% of Amazon's deliveries now arrive same-day or overnight. Over a billion packages move through this system every month. The error rate, relative to the volume, is remarkably low. But when you do receive the wrong item, a damaged product, a package marked 'delivered' that isn't on your porch, or a return that just vanishes, it's not a glitch in an otherwise perfect system. It's the expected output of a system that optimized every step for speed and volume, and traded accuracy for both."

  @crypto_ali12 @amazonindia @AmazonHelp Repeated pickup failures become a conversion problem when operational delays start affecting customer experience and seller metrics.

  @UFDTech 😒 yet Amazon can't even fulfill 2nd day orders anymore. The prime 2 day delivery feels like a broken promise these days.
