  In 1956, a secretary invented something in her kitchen. She brought it to work in a small bottle. In 1975, she sold it to Gillette for $47,500,000. It was white paint. This is Jeff Bezos's lecture on innovation at Stanford. Her name was Betty Nesmith Graham. She was an executive assistant and a terrible typist. The new typewriters used film ribbons. You couldn't erase mistakes. So she went home, mixed white paint to match the paper, and started painting over her errors with a tiny brush at her desk. She called it Liquid Paper. Then the WD-40 story. Three people. Government contract to coat Atlas missiles in storage silos so they wouldn't rust. They failed 39 times. The name WD-40 stands for Water Displacement, 40th Attempt. They named it straight out of the lab notebook. The Atlas missile market turned out to be small. So they sold it in hardware stores instead. Then Bezos talks about Amazon. Barnes & Noble launches online. They have 30,000 employees and $3,000,000,000 in revenue. Amazon has 125 people and $60,000,000. Forrester Research publishes a headline: "Amazon.toast." Bezos calls an all-hands meeting. Tells his 125 employees to be terrified every morning. Not of Barnes & Noble. Of customers. Watch the moment he explains the question nobody ever asks him. Everyone asks what will change in 10 years. Nobody asks what will NOT change. Customers will always want low prices, fast delivery, and wide selection. So you build everything around that. It compounds for decades. One week before this lecture, Amazon launched Amazon Prime. $79 a year. Unlimited two-day shipping. Nobody thought it would work. A senior product manager who worked on Prime expansion: $210,000 base salary. 200,000,000 users. It started with a $79 idea announced to a Stanford classroom. Bookmark this and watch later - after this lecture, every "stupid idea" you have will feel like a small bottle of white paint.

  Alexa for Shopping can now tell you if that Amazon text, email, or call is real. Ask what you got, when it arrived, and what it said. It checks Amazon's own send log and answers in seconds: from Amazon, not from Amazon, or can't verify. Open the Amazon app, tap the Alexa icon, and ask something like "Did Amazon text me about a delivery problem yesterday?" US only for now. Would you ask an AI before you tap a scam link?

  Perhaps I’m not being fair and Amazon just picked up the Victory + deals in Dallas and Anaheim and eventually they will also start charging like the other Prime teams. But the optics are still terrible. #stlblues

  @Caterinna313 Everyone should go on Amazon and once you type in the name of the book, scroll down to “Report this article” and report it for whatever reason you find it offensive.

  @SOOPLLC My advice after routing for many, many decades and not having a traditional publisher: there are two routes when it comes to publishing. You don't necessarily have to make them mutually exclusive but you either get published by a publisher in some scenario or you self-publish. There are different versions of each one. My recommendation is to decide upfront what you want to do, which route you want to pursue. Again you can do both but you've got to put time into whichever one you decide to do because if you're going to do traditional publishing then it requires a different approach for that. You need to: - draft your book - write your books - do a rough draft - write them - get it to a final draft - get better readers - get it in front of editors - get it in front of companies That means sending out manuscripts to many publishers and waiting forever. The alternative is self-publishing. I struggled with this for a long time. I didn't want to spend six years of my life writing and just dumping my manuscripts out to different publishers, hoping someone grabbed it. What I did is I just said, "You know what? I'm on a right for the passion of writing and I make money off of it. Don't get me wrong but that's not the reason why I do it." I don't make a whole lot off my writing right now and I may never find with that but I finally had to decide that my passion is writing, not publishing. What I started doing is I'll write the books. I believe in the snapshot theory so I don't ever try to make my work perfect but I make it as perfect as I can at that point in my development. I'll write a book, I'll get it edited, and I'll normally go through about three drafts over time. I'll take breaks from it. After the rough draft, when I feel like it's ready to publish, I put it on Amazon KDP, drop it into Select, and leave it. I'll move on to another book. I try not to obsess over it. Some of them grow, some of them don't. Some of them, months down the road, will finally get some traction and I'm not a big-name famous author by any means of the stretch. I have very few readers in fact but I've made some money off of it and I've got some growth. I've had quite a number of reads and some of my stuff takes off, some of it doesn't, but it's just the fact that I have a passion for writing. My recommendation for an aspiring author is to decide which route you want to take and gear up to pursue that route with vigor because if you get consistent and keep pushing, you never know what will happen.

  @BrowningFnA5 How old is that unit? Reason I ask is a lot of wiring on vehicles and possibly heavy equipment use a soy based wire insulation which acts as an attractant to such. Solution, get some Bitrex (or similar) on Amazon for less than $30 a gallon and follow mixing instructions. You can use a simple pump sprayer. I had this problem with my F250. Dealer has a big sign in the service bay about this. They want to charge about $100 per application. Why not just stop putting soy in the insulation. Same with Christmas lights and squirrels chewing of the light fixtures and taking them back to their nests.

  Um... It happened again. Another paperback processed, printed and shipped on the same day that it was ordered. And it wasn't even to Canada this time. Did Amazon actually listen to my whining and fix stuff or am I hallucinating?

  Localization strategy - maybe the can learn a thing or two about Amazon in China. Tiered Services - maybe could have helped cater to different customer segments like Netflix does. As for the drivers who gamed the platform for immediate gains, this market exit has pulled down the entire house. We must always consider the big picture of our actions.

  @davidjohn_win @JacoKleynhans Dont think its just about some online shopping, its webservices also, your internet for example, and most likely why Amazon got the go ahead on satelite internet instead of Starlink, that will cost you more and give less. One issue with AWS leads to huge problems.

  Various economic conditions, regulation, debt has broken up American companies into mostly sector bases. Amazon kind of an exception. In Asia, however there is little trust and the courts are slow. If you can't trust the system you need to grow, you become the system.

  Hi @narendramodi is it ok for @amazonIN to pickup a laptop worth 83,000 rupees and not issue a refund? Amazon can not dare such thing in the USA or Europe. How can do business in our soil with such practice?
