    Amazon causes so much damage to the retail market (and society). Flooded with Chinese products, fake/paid reviews, the company itself having been engaged in shady practices, rampant tax evasion, the list goes on... Regulate them more effectively, and many of the issues with deserted and dilapidated high streets would resolve themselves within a year.

    I don’t know why the price on the mail is so low. I collected about 428€. The amazon price is 419€. And the mail says I got 399,99€ collected… I think that’s why the switch hasn’t been ordered yet and I might have an error and be forced to cashout with a fee 😭😭 The price has been at 419€ for months on amazon and I put the direct link so it should have been the correct price… I don’t know what’s happening

    This is what I think is going on with the Duke-Amazon deal and why the Big Ten is whining. It's all about a direct-to-consumer model and risk allocation. Let's start with the law because the law explains the deal. College sports media rights flow through a stacked architecture that schools rarely discuss in public but that governs everything they can and cannot do. Every ACC member, Duke included, has executed a Grant of Rights to the conference— an irrevocable assignment of media rights running through 2036. The ACC then licensed that aggregated catalogue to ESPN under a parallel agreement of comparable duration. The Big Ten and Fox sit atop an identical structure on their side of the ledger. The consequence is that Duke does not own the broadcast rights to its own basketball games in any meaningful sense. ESPN does. And Michigan's rights belong to Fox. That architecture is the entire reason the Amazon deal required permission rather than a checkbook, as suggested by @RossDellenger. Duke could not license a game to Amazon any more than a tenant could sell the building. What Duke could do is ask the actual rights holder — ESPN, through the ACC — to carve out three games from its exclusive bundle and allow Amazon to distribute them. ESPN agreed. Dellenger's reporting suggests ESPN extracted a licensing fee plus future Duke scheduling commitments in return. That is a sublicense, structured as a limited waiver of exclusivity, and it is the legal mechanism that makes the entire arrangement possible. Without ESPN's consent, the deal is a straightforward breach of the Grant of Rights cascade. With it, the deal is unremarkable contract law. Which brings us to the Big Ten. Its claim that it "owns" the Duke-Michigan game is the sound of a conference dressing up a contractual reciprocity provision as a property right. The actual mechanism the B1G is invoking is an alternation arrangement between the conferences and their rights holders for neutral-site games played in shared metropolitan territory with New York, a virtual home game for Duke, being the one at issue. Even taking that at face value, it is a contract claim running between the conferences, not a proprietary interest enforceable against Duke, Amazon, or Madison Square Garden. And the party whose alternation turn was supposedly violated, ESPN, has already blessed the deal. It is hard to articulate a coherent legal theory under which the B1G or Fox enforces ESPN's contractual entitlement against ESPN's wishes. The B1G's posture is a negotiating marker, not a litigation position, and any honest reading of the underlying agreements would say so. So why did ESPN say yes? This is where the law stops explaining things and strategy takes over. I'm not just guessing here. ESPN launched its standalone streaming flagship into a market in which the most important commercial question in sports media remains unanswered: will cord-cutters pay to watch a Tuesday-night college basketball game? Disney has spent the better part of a decade rearranging its streaming portfolio without producing a clean answer, and the cost of running that experiment on ESPN's own platform —with ESPN's own marquee inventory and ESPN's own reputation on the line — is considerable. The Pac-12 tried a version of this experiment with Apple two years ago. Apple would not pay linear money, the schools would not accept streaming-only reach, and the conference disintegrated before the deal did. The lesson the industry absorbed was that premium college sports was not yet ready for direct-to-consumer exclusivity. ESPN needs to know whether that lesson still holds, and it would prefer not to find out the hard way. The structure of the Duke deal seems to be the answer. Amazon bears the production cost, the promotional spend, and the conversion risk against Prime's installed 200M+ worldwide subscriber base. ESPN collects a licensing fee, future scheduling inventory it can deploy on its own terms, and a clean read on whether streaming-exclusive premium college basketball actually works as a commercial proposition. If Amazon's experiment succeeds, ESPN learns the model and pulls future games back in-house at the next negotiation. If it fails, Amazon absorbs the loss and ESPN quietly concludes the market is not ready, having paid nothing for the information beyond the foregone value of three games it was compensated for anyway. That is not a concession. It is a hedged bet, and a clever one. Fox cannot afford the same posture, which is why the B1G is whining. Fox One and Tubi are real but considerably smaller than the combined Disney streaming footprint, and every individual rights leak feels more existential to a network without the same DTC depth to fall back on. ESPN can be magnanimous because Disney has room to be patient. Fox and the B1G have less room, so the B1G is now tasked with escalating a routine reciprocity dispute into a public claim of ownership it cannot sustain. That tells you more about the B1G and Fox's competitive position than it does about the merits of the contract. The deeper point, and the one worth dwelling on, is that the rights architecture schools accepted a decade ago to keep their conferences intact is now being tested by the schools themselves. Duke did not break the system. Duke worked within it, asked ESPN for permission, gave up something in return, and brought a streaming partner to the table that the network was apparently happy to let bear the risk of an experiment Disney has not figured out how to run on its own. The B1G and Fox would prefer that schools not learn this trick. They are about to learn it anyway. And the next negotiation, whenever it comes, will reflect what Amazon's three games taught everyone about who the audience really is and what they will pay to watch. The Duke-Amazon arrangement is being described as a turning point for college sports media. My honest guess is that it's more of a market test, structured by a rights holder who needed information from a 200M+ subscriber base more than it needed three basketball games. It's now being resisted by a competitor who cannot afford to be that patient. The law explains how the deal got done. The strategy explains why ESPN wanted it done this way. And the B1G's complaint, stripped of its proprietary language, is the complaint of a conference that wishes it had thought of it first.

    PhonePe + Google Pay = 80% of India's 22.6 billion monthly UPI transactions. Amazon and Meta are lobbying for caps. But this isn't just a regulatory fight. It's a customer inertia case study disguised as a competition problem.

    The idea that the labs are going to do it all and get it right is still funny to me. It doesn't help that every 5 years we have to go through this thinking. Meta/Google/Amazon have all been boogeymen in the past, yet it was not really deserved. There's also probably a mythical man-month version for AI agents, where throwing x10 more agents at a problem slows down a project, not speeds it up. You can extend that to non dev tasks.

    Yet another example of fraud and milking the government in Minnesota: On April 26th, I paid $27.69 on Amazon for the walker with the red brackets. Four days later, I met my mom at the hospital, where Medicare was being billed $120 by a MN-based medical supply business for the walker with the blue brackets. The two walkers are extremely similar, and have multiple components that are clearly from the same factory. The inexpensive one is labelled as being able to support 350 lbs, while the expensive one supports 300 lbs. It's possible there is some Medicare discount down the line, of which I am unaware. Yet after having spent most of my life in Minnesota and witnessing other examples of fraud, I fear this is just more of the same. It is our "Minnesota Nice" attitude that often prevents us from catching fraud, because it seems "mean" to be suspicious and think critically. Yet by being "nice" to possible fraudsters, we are inadvertently being very "un-nice" to victims of fraud, including our fellow American taxpayers. I feel embarrassed that we, as Minnesotans, have been so naive.

    Yet another example of fraud and milking the government in Minnesota: Earlier this week, I paid $27.69 on Amazon for the walker on the left. Then I met my mom at the hospital, where Medicare had just paid $120 to a MN-based medical supply business for the walker on the right. It's possible there is some Medicare discount down the line, of which I am unaware. Yet after having spent most of my life in Minnesota and witnessing other examples of fraud, I fear this is just more of the same. It is our "Minnesota Nice" attitude that prevents would-be whistleblowers from speaking out, because we think people wouldn't possibly defraud the government, and we don't want to be "mean." Yet by being kind to the fraudsters, we are inadvertently being very unkind to taxpayers.

    The trap 90% fall into: White-knuckling willpower at 9pm, tired, scrolling Amazon. The biology: your dopamine system has downregulated. The $47 purchase feels abstract. Pleasure feels immediate. Discipline doesn't fix a depleted prefrontal cortex. Environment does.

And here’s the time I predicted the 10/20/2025 Amazon Web Services outage 6 days before it happened on 10/14/2025 using a Mr Pool “TV Outage” post and 322 Skull & Bones numerology. So if you’re trying to imply I have no decodes, you can try being a douche somewhere else.
