    @CardPurchaser After all these years you would think Bots would be a thing of the past and not a issue anymore. Companies just don't care especially Amazon in 10 seconds it can be for retail in the next 20 seconds 3X the price. As long as they are selling.

    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."

    Rekha’s birthday is on 5 July. I am saying this confidently today because I have been in training for 20+ years, and like most men who have survived long marriages, I have learnt that there are some dates you can forget and some dates you can’t. Even today, there are moments when I pause for a second before saying the date, which does not mean I love her any less. But somehow Rekha seems to associate me remembering her birthday with my commitment to her, as if love is not measured by how many times I have driven her to Westside, waited outside trial rooms, carried her bags, eaten Chinese food despite not liking it, and most importantly made tea for her mother. In the initial months of our dating I suffered because I couldn’t remember her birthday. And that’s when I decided that the only way to save my relationship was to create a mnemonic. A mnemonic is a technique to remember complex information – you use a word, number, phrase or concept to remember and make something easier to visualize. Now, you may argue, “Rajan, if you are intelligent enough to know the word mnemonic, how difficult is it to remember 5 July?” Let me assure you, it is very difficult. The more intelligent you are, the more forgetful you are. Heard of the famous story about one scientist who forgot that he didn’t eat his lunch? Not sure if it was Newton, Edison, Darwin, or some other man who damaged school children’s lives through his discoveries…but he thought he had eaten his lunch when actually a dog had eaten it. This story makes full sense to me. At this point it is important to point out that only a man can do this. If it was Madame Curie, she would have shooed away the dog, eaten her lunch, and gone back to work. Anyway, I created my system. The number 75. The moment Rekha asked, “When is my birthday?” I would think of the number 75. Seventh month & fifth day…so 5 July. It was almost Nobel Prize level. Once the date problem was solved, the next problem arrived. What does a man gift the woman of his life? When Rekha was my girlfriend, anything I gave her, she loved. I moved between a fluffy toy, a churidar, a photo frame with both our photos, and a greeting card with romantic nonsense written inside, with equal ease. I remember, once when I didn’t have any money, I walked into an Archies Cards, bought a Rs 10 card wrote “You are the reason my heart beats” on it before leaving it under her laptop in office. She was pleasantly surprised when she found out, and loved it. Today if I do the same, she will say, “Then please get your ECG done.” But back then, she liked such things. Girlfriends are emotionally generous and see the intention, and the effort behind every act. Wives are not like that..they see the bill, the brand, and the return policy. That is the tragedy of buying a gift for the woman in your life. Before marriage, a gift for your girlfriend is a ‘happy’ experience but after marriage it can be a ‘scary’ experience. ----X----X---- And like every married man who wants to live long enough to see his children get jobs and leave the house, I take my wife’s birthday seriously. And over the years, I have realised that buying a birthday gift for your women is a 7-step process. If you have a daughter or are also closer to her best friend, you can make it a 8-step process. But it is completely optional. //Step one: remember the date// This is the most important step because if you forget the date, there is no point buying the gift. A late gift is not a gift…but an apology. So every year, around by mid June, all the alerts I have kept start bombarding me. On Google Calendar, I have half hours booked with myself to think of what to buy, on Google Alerts…I have set up alerts “Buy gift” every day at 8 am, I also have alarms set up for 3 pm…all of these remind me about ‘5 July’ and the gift I need to buy. //Step two: start observing// This is difficult because observation requires listening, listening requires focus…and both listening and focus is never a man’s forte. Still, I try. If Rekha pauses near a shop, I make a mental note. If she says “this is nice,” I write it down in a small notebook I carry on me all the time…it is titled ‘Gift ideas for Rekha.” If she says, “I like it, but we don’t need to buy right away,” I don’t believe her. I still write that down. If she says, “Let’s not waste our money on it,” I know this may be something she will like. If she sends me a link on Whatsapp and says, “See this Rajan,” I know she doesn’t just want me to see. If you are a man, these are all your cues. Follow them and you can’t go wrong. //Step three: reject all practical gifts// Men love practical gifts and women hate everything that’s practical from a man’s perspective. Last year when my team members reached out to Rekha to figure out what to gift me on my birthday, she suggested three things – a packet of kadala mittai (a snack made of groundnut+jaggery), Mama Earth’s Onion Hair Oil for Hair Fall Control and 120 Magnesium Glycinate capsules. The team did exactly that, and I was so excited when I got them. That’s us men. If someone gifts us a screwdriver set, we may cry. If someone gifts us socks in white, gray and black, we may even hug and cry. But never give your wife a practical gift on her birthday. And definitely not something that’s practical and suggests that she needs to work harder. If you gift her an iron box, she may ask, “So do you want me to iron all your shirts during the weekend itself…or would you want them ironed fresh every day in the morning?” If you gift her a vacuum cleaner, she will unpack it and ask you to clean the house right away. A wife’s birthday is not the day to improve the house. It is the day to prove that you understand the woman who improves the house every day while you stand in the middle of the living room asking, “Do we have cello tape in this house?” //Step four: avoid clothes unless supervised.// I no longer buy clothes for Rekha. And more than me, Rekha is happy about this. Buying clothes for your wife requires knowledge of colour, fabric, fall, fit, neckline, sleeve length, current mood, future mood, body confidence, lighting conditions, and whether someone else in the family or her friends group already owns something similar. A husband does not have this kind of data, so he is the wrong person for such a complicated task. Even if a husband does have all the data, you should still NOT buy her clothes. You know why? Because only a sensitive, smart, gay man can have all of this data…so why not come out of the closet, so both of you can purse your freedom? So now, if clothes are involved, I take her along. She can select, and you can pay. But then, it won’t be a surprise. //Step five: never trust the sentence, “I don’t want anything.”// When a wife says, “I don’t want anything,” she does not mean she does not want anything. She means, “I don’t want to tell you. You should know.” This sentence has destroyed many husbands and their marriages. If your wife says that she doesn’t want anything, immediately go into a room and close the door. Now slowly track back to the last 12 months. Do you remember anything that she paused at in a shop? Remember what she sent on WhatsApp with the message, “Do you like this?” Remember what she said while watching her best friend’s Instagram story? Can you recollect any incidence where she touched something, looked at it lovingly, and then kept it back saying, “Too expensive.” Did she look at anything for three extra seconds? Basically, you have to remember everything except the things she directly told you. //Step seven: buy the gift.// This is the stage where the foundations of the best made men shake as if they were in a 7.5 Richter scale earthquake. Because after all the observing, planning, filtering, consulting, overthinking, and budget adjustment, you finally have to buy something, but you still have doubts. Will she like what I got her? Will she ever use it? Does she already have something like this? Is this the colour she would have preferred it in? Is this thoughtful or is it stupid? Is this elegant or expensive-looking only to men? Is there an exchange option…if yes, how do I keep the bill without losing? This is why I say buying a gift for your wife is not shopping….it is a gamble. You place your bet, swipe the card, and wait for the lottery. //Step eight: give the gift and watch her face.// This is the final examination. When your wife opens the gift and she is watching it closely, you watch her face. Because her face will reveal everything before her words so. If she smiles immediately, you may live. If she says, “Oh,” you are in danger. And if she says, “You shouldn’t have,” you must notice the tone. If it is a happy “You shouldn’t have,” you are safe and if it is a flat “You shouldn’t have,” she means it. If she says, “Cute,” her liking for your gift depends on the item. Cute for a small handmade card is good for you, but if she says “cute” for a jewellery it means your efforts were insufficient. If she says, “I love it,” don’t celebrate immediately. Wait for 48 hours because Amazon has spoilt your wife…she thinks for every delivery there is a 30-day return window. ----X----X---- When I was younger, I used to think the perfect gift was something costly. Then I thought the perfect gift was something beautiful. Now, after more than twenty years of marriage, I have realised the perfect gift is something that says, “I know you.” And that is the problem for us men….how do we ‘know’ our women? It is unfair because after twenty-plus years, I am still trying to know myself. Some mornings I wake up and don’t know why my back hurts. Other days I reach the fridge and am not sure what I wanted to open, the freezer or the door below it. Sometimes I enter a room and stand there like Statue of Unity only to realize after 30 seconds that I am in the wrong room. And this woman expects me to understand her evolving taste in bags, clothes, jewellery, perfumes, shoes, and home décor? But I am trying…because that’s what marriage is. Marriage is all about trying not to pick up the kitchen knife and stabbing your partner….and walking into the sunset seeking peace. The real tragedy is that I genuinely want to buy Rekha a good gift. I am not against gifting, neither am I stingy. But what does one give a woman who has everything? And to top it, has me? Sometimes I think back to the days when a fluffy toy was enough, when a photo frame could make her smile, when a greeting card with my bad handwriting was good enough, or better still a poem narrated on the Marina beach made her swoon. When she would look at whatever I gave and say, “So sweet.” But I am not going to get discouraged. I am going to try and get her something, or fail trying. After all, a husband may not always know what his wife wants, but he knows that he wants his wife.

    WHY I SEE $WAL ON $SUI a 100X COIN. I THINK PEOPLE ARE LOOKING AT $WALRUS COMPLETELY WRONG. They see another storage coin. I see an attempt to solve one of the most boring -and therefore potentially valuable- problems in computing: THE DATABASE PROBLEM. Think about an ordinary app. Uber needs driver locations. Instagram needs photos and videos. A bank needs transaction records. An AI agent needs memory, documents and datasets. Blockchain can verify ownership and transactions. But you cannot economically dump terabytes of videos, AI datasets, PDFs and application data directly onto a normal blockchain. So where does that data live? Usually in somebody else’s database or cloud. And that creates the contradiction nobody talks about: Your application may be decentralized while the DATA it depends on is centralized. Server disappears → problem. Database is altered → problem. Company blocks access → problem. AI consumes corrupted data → potentially a much bigger problem. This is where Walrus becomes interesting. Walrus takes large files, erasure-encodes them into pieces and distributes them across independent storage nodes. Its RedStuff design is specifically built around high availability, relatively low storage overhead and efficient recovery when nodes fail. But decentralized storage alone is NOT the “AH” moment. We already had decentralized storage. The AH moment is: Walrus makes DATA PROGRAMMABLE. A stored blob can be connected to an onchain object. Smart contracts can interact with storage resources. Access conditions can be programmed. Storage can be renewed automatically. Data provenance can be cryptographically verified. Data can potentially become something applications can own, permission, trade and monetize, rather than a dead file sitting inside a server. Now think about AI agents. An autonomous agent needs more than computation. It needs MEMORY. Where did this document come from? Who created it? Was it modified? Am I authorized to read it? Can another agent verify it? Can access be purchased automatically? That is no longer merely a storage problem. It becomes an economic coordination problem around DATA. And that is why I’m so interested in Walrus. Not because $WAL had a green candle. Because if autonomous software becomes economically important, verifiable + programmable data could become infrastructure. Now to everyone terrified because a token has collapsed: Learn some market history. Amazon traded around $0.30 split-adjusted in 2001 after the dot-com destruction. Today it is hundreds of dollars. NVIDIA was around $0.15–$0.20 split-adjusted during the 2008 collapse. Today it is above $200. And crypto itself gave us an even crazier lesson: $SOL went from roughly $0.22 in 2020 to $259.90 during 2021 — more than 1,000X from that early low to the 2021 peak. The lesson is NOT: “Anything that crashes will recover.” Most things that collapse deserve to collapse. The lesson is: PRICE DESTRUCTION ≠ TECHNOLOGY DESTRUCTION. Sometimes price falls 90% while developers keep building. Your job isn't to find something that fell 90%. Your job is to determine whether the technology, users, economics and competitive advantage are becoming stronger while the market is pricing them weaker. That is the calculation I’m making with $WAL. “How did everyone see the price… but miss what the technology was trying to become?” I don’t do commentary after the chart. I study the infrastructure before the chart forces everyone else to study it. Financial Literacy before Financial Freedom. First Principles First.

    My first ever complaint against @Apple--just sent to them: Apple Care was a complete ripoff. I had a broken magnetic power cord which should lhave been covered under the AppleCare for which I paid when I bought this MacBook. After over 30 MINUTES on the phone, I was informed you would send me a new one for a $99 "service fee" and I would have to send the broken one back to you. Sorry, but I just ordered a new one on Amazon for $20 and it will be here between 4 and 8 am in the morning. That is my definition of SERVICE. I will never recommend AppleCare again. Love the iphone, computers, AppleTV and all other Apple products we have--but FYI, your Apple Care is a rip! This review should serve as a warning to others.

    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.

    Declining sales. Falling organic rank. A campaign that used to convert and suddenly doesn't. Most brands treat these as separate problems and patch each one individually. In this episode, they have talked about why temporary fixes always come back around: → the band-aid comes off → the same problem resurfaces → and now it's sitting under a pile of newer ones The real work is finding what's actually causing the decline, not just treating the symptom in front of you. It's a mindset shift that applies well beyond Amazon. Any brand managing multiple channels eventually hits a version of this same choice. Full episode link in comments.

    This smells of opportunistic payout-seeking. If Twitch disclosed from the beginning anywhere in their TOS, there's not much leg to stand on (not a lawyer, could be wrong) Regardless, Twitch has been scrubbing this content for two years to teach AI. Two years of even a handful of channels is more than enough. They already got what they needed. And as Ryzel mentioned, even if they lose, Twitch is still owned by Amazon, which has the infinite money glitch. One Twitch streamer will hardly make a dent in their bottom line.
