  Customer service promised me a 206 SAR compensation for returning a wrong item, and I completed the return. After two weeks of follow-up, it was rejected, claiming discounts aren’t refundable. This isn’t a discount issue, but a broken promise despite proof. @Amazon

  Sam Altman on the two things that separate startups that win from the thousands that copy them: His first piece of advice is counterintuitive, don't rush to start. "Wait to have a good idea before you start a startup. If you start a startup without a good idea and you just kind of cast around for one, you'll be under pressure to make something up. It won't work that well." For @sama, conviction has to come first: "The very best startups are all started because someone believes so passionately in an idea and they believe that a startup is the best way to make that happen." The problem, he explains, is that most people never have an original idea to begin with: "One of the things that is really hard about good ideas is that original thought is really hard. Most people just copy somebody else's thoughts, most people do what somebody else is doing." And copying, he argues, is fatal: "If you have one idea that starts to work and you have 10,000 clones that follow it, none of you are going to be successful, and the person that started first that you all copied is very likely to win." He points to the pattern he keeps seeing. In the year after Facebook launched, over a thousand social networks started. In the year after Instagram launched, over a thousand photo sharing apps started. Altman illustrates just how skewed the herd gets with a story from the year he joined the board of Helion, a nuclear fusion company. By someone's count, 10,000 photo startups launched that year and exactly one nuclear fusion startup. "Which seemed a little bit off to me," he notes. So where do good, original ideas actually come from? Altman offers two sources. The first is your own life: "Noticing problems in your own life is certainly a good way to do this. It's not true that all successful startups are started to solve a problem that the founders have themselves, but it's a very high percentage. If you really go back and think about the transformational companies, most of them start with someone solving their own problem." The second is timing. What he calls the Great Wave: "Another thing you notice if you go back and look at all the really successful companies is there was this massive wave of technology coming. You could see it in the distance and you knew it was going to just like crash over the shore and through the city, and you got out there early on your surfboard." You can't create the wave yourself, he says that takes far too many resources. But you can catch one: "What you can do is notice that a wave is coming… while other people still think it's a toy or not going to matter, you can really get conviction behind it and surf somebody else's wave." University students, he adds, are particularly good at spotting these early. This, Altman explains, is why great companies cluster together in time. The internet wave of the mid-to-late 90s produced Amazon, Google, and Yahoo. The mobile wave after the iPhone's 2007–2008 launch produced Uber, Airbnb, Snapchat, Instagram, and WhatsApp. All in the short window right after the new wave started. He closes with the question worth sitting with: "A really good question to ask is what is the wave that's starting right now and where is the cluster of companies, because we're about due for another one."

  What’s up with Google not able to do the most basic sign ins using sms or email codes rather than passwords. Both Amazon and Disney do this. I’ve long since given up on password sign in.

  @E700s Definitely think referring to this guys creation as a “money trap” is disingenuous and quite frankly, ignorant. You want to hate on a company scamming people for money? Hate on Scuf. Scuf prices their product in competition with companies like Demon Workshop, despite mass producing their product with low quality sourced parts, while selling it as if it’s a made to order product like a hand customized Demon Workshop controller. The Marius’ boards price reflects its engineering, not its production cost. In a couple years price will drive down drastically and you’ll be able to purchase the DIY kit for $60 on Amazon

  🔥JEFF BEZOS: AI WILL CREATE A LABOR SHORTAGE, NOT MASS UNEMPLOYMENT The Amazon founder says fears that AI will replace humans are wrong. Bezos argues AI could create a labor shortage by revealing an “endless” number of new problems to solve and things for humans to build.

  @jeff_gluck Jeff would it be possible for Nascar to buyout the rest of Fox’s contract? I don’t see how they could realistically want Fox to hang around with Amazon actually promoting and trying to take Nascar seriously while Fox seems to actively try and tear it down. Is there any chatter?

  @ajmnsaus Auspost is the problem. I don’t know how non-Amazon ecommerce can survive. They have to use courier companies that can compete with Amazon on delivery experience. Because AusPost certainly doesn’t.

  @T3chFalcon Depends what the goal is. If it is anonymity then governments will flag any server ip by a cloud provider such as amazon or the vps providers you listed because the IPs don't match residential addresses but datacenters

  @bridgesvernon @coltonblack Sometimes random websites are legit a fraction of the price of what a supplier quotes me, but, in the case of a breaker like this, the customer needs the guarantee its genuine because its the cheapest part in the whole equation and Amazon is not going to fix it if it goes wrong.

  ₹25,000/month. Zero previous refund requests. One wrong variant - my fault. And yet, that's the day I decided to stop ordering from Swiggy. Here's the full story: Ordered dumbbells on Swiggy Instamart. Selected the wrong variant - I own that mistake completely. Reached out to support hoping for some goodwill. Got a flat no. Policy. Opened Amazon after. Same product. Fully replaceable. No drama. And just like that - a year of loyalty, ₹3 lakh in spends in just the last year, zero trouble - gone. Not because of the money. Not even because of the product. Because of how it felt. This is the part that should make every product and growth person uncomfortable: I wasn't being rational. I know that. The CLV math, the platform convenience, the habit - all of it pointed toward staying. But the gut said no. And the gut wins. Amazon didn't just build logistics. They built a default assumption in the customer's mind - that if something goes wrong, you're protected. That assumption is now the benchmark. Every platform gets measured against it. Not against their own past. Against Amazon. Swiggy lost a ₹25K/month customer over a support chat that probably cost them nothing to resolve. That's not a policy problem. That's a prioritization problem. High-LTV customers don't churn loudly. They just quietly open a different app. Sidenote as a founder: At LiLLBUD, I think about this every single day. We're a small D2C brand. We don't have the luxury of losing even one customer to a bad post-purchase experience. A ₹800 replacement we try to honor without friction? That's not a cost - that's the highest-ROI retention spend we'll ever make. The market doesn't grade on effort or intent. The benchmark is Amazon. It always is. And if you're not building toward that standard, someone else will.

  Is it just me or is Amazon going down the skids? I have now two orders in a row being delayed for "Amazon problems" and one order refunded because they couldn't deliver it. Hmm? 🤔

  Douglas R Hall spent over 30 years formulating the stories, ideas, and characters in his books. With the invent of self-publishing his books are finally available to the public. His father enslaved an entire people He altered their bodies without asking. Forced them to dig for gold that, in the end, served no real purpose. Those who fought back were executed. He built a place called Eden, declared himself God, and then walked away, leaving generations of people to live with scars they never chose. Commander Elliot Kane died in an Earth prison without ever admitting he'd been wrong. Right to the end, he believed he was a god who had been betrayed. Every morning, his son, James Christopher Kane, stands before a monument built from that stolen gold—a forty-foot polar bear cast from eighteen hundred metric tons of it. At its base is a simple inscription: *"We were the gods who fell from the sky. May we never fall so far again."* JC is thirty years old. He's read every page of his father's journals. Every order that was given. Every execution that was justified. Every excuse for things that should never have happened. For three years he has lived in Earth's paradise, knowing the people of Ayana are still carrying the weight of what his father did. Sleeping hasn't come easily. So he builds a ship. He calls it **Mercy**. There are no weapons aboard. Just forty-two volunteers—doctors, engineers, teachers, and people who simply want to help. The cargo holds are packed with medicine, farming equipment, clean energy technology, and supplies. Then he returns to Ayana. Not to rule. Not to play God. Not because he believes he can fix everything. He goes to offer help if it's wanted. To listen before he speaks. And if the people of Ayana ask him to kneel in the dirt before them, he'll do that too. Because redemption isn't something you demand. It's something you earn. Even if it costs you everything. --- **THE REDEMPTION OF THE GODS** *The Return of the Son of God* **Book Two of the Gods Series** By Douglas R Hall Second Edition • 2026 Available now on Amazon worldwide.
