It is more than likely the repricer. Amazon will remove prices eventually. The reason nobody catches these is that they are slow moving books. We used to only clean them up once a week sometimes as much as once a month. It happens with all the repricing software. Some are better than others and you can always add caps. I think our cap was $4000. You have to set the cap that high because there are certain architectural, medical, and occasionally historical texts or sets that will run this high. ...and books are a volume game. The more you process the more you sell.

Thrift books (close to the largest is primarily in house software).

When I worked there we ran close to 120k skus (sku = ean, condition combo). We were not the largest but, for a time in the top 10% of third party new and used book sellers. We got our books from remainders, closeouts, and auction. Most of the time we could process ~15-25 pallets/gaylords of books per week.

It's a repricing issue that no one has caught yet because it's a crappy title and no one is worried about losing a sale. Titles with a rank of < 10k are monitored daily for mispricing issues. Other than that...scan more books, get them listed, it's all about the numbers.

Yeah, if Instapaper didn't do shady things with user data GDPR wouldn't take more than a couple of days to add support for, instead of the 2+ years it's been.
It's not so much the missed sleep, as it is the 48 hours of intense heart-rending stress.
One thing to keep in mind is that most "scalable" apps (top 100 most popular websites like search, videos, social networking, forums, etc.) don't need double-spend resistant ledgers.

They just need decentralized and cryptographically verified guarantees, like with what decentralized Reddit (notabug.io) and other apps, built on our system ( https://github.com/amark/gun ), that is already pushing terabytes traffic weekly in production.

The future for scaling is more about working around double-spend/blockchain than trying to make double-spend/blockchain systems themselves to be scalable (trying to do that would require violating various CAP Theorem / physics rules).
Paper money is 'virtual', too. History shows us that the value of paper money often crashes.

People who would feel guilty with billions don’t get billions. And I would argue they shouldn’t. If you’re a billionaire, you get to unilaterally do things others can’t. Like pioneer space travel or explore under-appreciated branches of medicine.

No, that’s nice but it’s a different issue. We already have plenty of inquiry into the influence of Americans with money on politics, with Citizens United and whatnot.

My own response:

I am considering proposing a draft for a product vision. Something like this:

Our products should aim to be:
a) Self-reliant: as few 3. party cookies, cdn's and technologies as possible.
b) Private	: respect the user’s privacy. Don't log more than we have to. Be explicit about what we do. GDPR. Combined with self-reliant, this means no Google analytics e.g.
c) Robust	: Must work on most platforms. Old and new.
d) Simple	: Nobody wants complex - but we certainly don't strive for simple. Simple means: Have e.g. pure txt fallback instead of "mobile optimized" pages.
e) Connected	: Use loosely coupled micro services. Don't do what we have done a lot: take existing solution and add functionality ad infinity. This complicated the code and tests.
f) Get first, visit later: Advocate decentral solutions, like mail, rss etc. Don't force the user to check our webpages. Let us deliver the data.
g) Open	: So many things require a user profile, just to consume info. If the info is not sensitive, don’t require a user profile. If the user profile is an option, e.g.
to save preferences etc. then, as per the privacy guideline, allow 'fake profiles'. Email etc. should be optional.

Internally we should:
i) Try to develop projects as closely as possible with the developers who do the actually work. This is what we did in my former company. And it worked very well.
ii) Product owners should be allowed greater say in tech choice. And should bear larger responsibilities (e.g. bonus related) for project costs.
iii) Product cost should explicitly include e.g. maintanance and bugs the first year.
iV) Product owners should at least one month a year, work with coding on some level.
v) We prefer open source software: Easier to support and staff, better life support (e.g. flash and Silverlight gives us problems) and often much better documented than the tools we build ourselves.

I think the gov.uk blog post currently trending here, is a good example of what I hope the points above could result in. But I also feel the bullets are kind of 'hot air', with little value. Not sure...

I hope some of you have some reflections on this.
Thanks for the comment and I love all the insight but serious question about:

UBI has no phase out, by definition. Something with a phase out can not be called "universal".

You can decide it's reasonable or not as you wish (but those millionaires pay more taxes than they receive). Just try to criticize the correct program.

Why not golden instead of gilded? Per capita incomes are at an all time high, in real terms, and growing; violent crime per capita a historical low; and life expectancy high, though it could be higher. We are on the verge of tremendous technological advances in propulsion, AI, biology and energy. And more people are educated enough to wonder at those advancements than ever before.

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS is what I'm running. Set it up about 9 months ago. Nothing special, haven't configured much expect hosts and the number of virtual desktops (which requires googling and special terminal commands to do, why is there no setting for this in the UI when it's a UI feature???)
I think Tesla's only bonds due this year are $230 million in November, then $920 million n March 2019. They still have about $3.5 billion in cash.

Also, I believe next March's debt can be converted to equity if the stock price is about $360.
If there's more money, and the more money circulates, and the velocity doesn't change, and the real economy doesn't grow (that is, more stuff is not being produced), then what possibility is left but inflation? Or, in your theory, which of the "outs" that I stated is the one that you think is operating in the real world?

From where I sit, the past 40 year have shown that, if you grow the money supply only a little bit faster than the real economy grows, then you only get a little bit of inflation.

"said the jet could be used with either pilots or as a drone."

Sadly, don't think I can. It's the company's laptop, we put the order in after WWDC assuming it'd be a few months longer before updates, and for various reasons I didn't get to setting this particular one up until recently. We're sadly past the flip date, but honestly I'm pretty happy with it so far.

Y'all need pedestrian tunnels.
I don't mean to be rude but you are way off course about who/why people watch Twitch streams. Sure some of the Twitch viewerbase fits your description but plenty of people will tune in for a short period of time. ESPECIALLY people who don't have a lot of time because it can satisfy people's video game urges without actual investing tons of time in playing.
Some rabid fans may, but it's ridiculous to assume that Amazon sees zero missed revenue when their website goes down on their (arguably) biggest sale of the year.

That's similar to all of the locks on all Walmart stores inexplicably getting stuck in the locked state for 2 hours at 6AM on Black Friday.
Instead they mean, a lot. Shots on target is the proxy you have (except of course goals) to derive who team dominated more.
As a matter of fact if you follow the sport, you will know most coaches will be satisfied if the shots on target is good, even if one particular game no goals are scored. The tragic thing for Brazil is that the WC is a short and direct elimination tournament. A bad game and you are gone.
He ran it for five years and then the team who ran it has been constant since then.
Think about the actual uncertainty since anything can happen in the game itself. The easiest way to look at this is to play the game 100 times in a row (preferably in parallel universes, as you say). If team A wins in 60% of games, then that caps the ability to predict the result. You can predict a die roll to be 6 with an certainty of 17%. You can’t do any better.
My guess is this is an intentional marketing ploy. Think of how much press this is generating. Frontpage of HN. No way we are talking about this otherwise.
Maybe they figure that people who like dogs enough to want to see more will also click the link [1] to find out more about the "Dogs of Amazon", which seems to be unaffected by their problems. There they will find a story about Amazon's dog-friendly offices, 30+ pictures of Amazon dogs, and a video showing many of them. The time to consume all that is time the person is not hitting refresh on the shopping site, so maybe is a net win for Amazon.

Software quality can be measured in different ways. Software quality is not the only dimension to care about when developing products.
Russia spend is estimated at $100k between 2015 and 2017, when Trump and Clinton spent $81M on Facebook alone.

I've spent more than the Russians did on Facebook ads, to think that amount of money was a deciding factor is pretty absurd.
It's pretty sad that pedophilia is something that has to be rationalized. It's a sexual preference you're stuck with.

Obviously we don't want these people actually fucking kids, but they're heavily persecuted and risk years in prison just for getting off to some photos they got from the internet. It's not all that different from how some countries treat gay people.

I'm not a pedophile, but I hang around a lot of privacy-enhancing projects and have met many open pedos. One of them recently linked me this https://blog.gnu.moe/misc/pedo.html
But I want things.
The parent post should not be downvoted. It's perfectly possible that the effect of the New Deal is controversial (or even dubious) amongst historians and that most schools teach it as a resounding success. In that case, it's interesting to hear both what historians think and what people are actually taught.
I don't want to hijack or anything, but just want to also link to a project I did that also looked at these ads and lets you browse/categorize them interactively: https://qunc.co/russia_facebook_project/
If built well your compute offering can scale with the resources you give it. If you have Amazon’s commerce platform running on a pool of computers, the team running commerce can give those computers to EC2 in exchange for an equivalent amount of EC2 quota. In theory it’s a bookkeeping operation.

There are plenty of good reasons why you wouldn’t run Amazon’s commerce on EC2, but I don’t think cloud availability is one of them.
Note that that doesn't mean you won't encounter them.

Both my high school's gym in Germany (rebuilt after the war) and my student housing (survived WW2 intact) had pull chain operated toilets.
They could just hire more workers at $12/hr and I don't think there'd be a problem.
I was working from home for about 1.5 years. My daily contact was a morning phone call with the others on the team. Having a twitch stream open for 8+ hours in the background works really well for me as its more like having a radio on then a TV. Its not that you are sitting there watching every thing that the streamer is doing. You are more listening and glancing at it once in a while.

A second aspect that i really enjoy in relation to twitch streams is the chat community and the interaction you can have live with the streamer. Its basically a IRC chat channel that the streamer is the owner of. So even when the stream is offline, you can hang around chatting with friends that you make online. It really remind me of my old mIRC days. Its all about finding a community that you enjoy, not all stream chats are the same. Some can be quite toxic but most streamers have Mods that ban people quickly for hate speech etc.

There are also people that are coding on twitch these days, and i really enjoy having one of those streams open while coding myself. Whenever i get stuck on something, or am thinking about an issue / design I like watching what the streamer is coding for a few min. It tends to help me work out the problems quicker and the designs are normally better thought out.
How about we all agree that people shouldn't have to work in inhumane conditions?
Transportation is going to be uberized. And in the worst case you just ship USPS.
I managed to install docker according to docker's own tutorial. Then 4 months later I get an update from ubuntu to upgrade my docker. I thought, that sounds about right....why not??? So after the "upgrade" I now had two different versions of docker installed at the same time in two different locations and neither of them wanted to start. That was a great start to my day and cost me an hour or so to fix.
Yes, not saying it's perfect or couldn't be used for evil, just like the FBI isn't perfect and can be used for evil. We have to weigh the options and legislate in a way that mitigates the ways it can be used for bad things.

Again, just a few percent in efficiency could mean thousands upon thousands of lives saved. I'm sure a lot of HIV positive people who were mistreated would've loved that.
"Old-fashioned manned planes" work. It's not riskier to bet on the sure thing that has an upgrade path (in the event that drone AI does make the jump, it's not like a modern fly-by-wire plane won't be able to be retrofitted) to the potential new thing.
There are two probabilites is you want to make it so in your model. In the coin example it may make sense, you model the coin as a binomial probability and you can estimate it. You can repeat the events, it makes sense to talk about frequencies and you can improve your estimate of the parameter.

In the election model it's not clear to me what's to gain by saying that there are two probabilities (or more) instead of one. There is one single event.

>Hillary had a 95% chance to win the election. But on top of the fact that 1 in 20 times she'd lose that election if that really was the probability,

Which is the only thing that matters if we say that the probability was 95%.

> the 95% number was uncertain because the measurements were difficult to pin down - maybe she'd have lost 1 in 40 times, or maybe she'd have lost 1 in 5 times.

You have lost me here. Did she have a 95% chance to win or not?

If this 95% is uncertain, because it could have been 97.5% or 80%, then the probability would be the weighted average of those numbers and not 95%. And if it was so uncertain that nothing was known at all it would be 50%.

Consider the following cases:

a) You are going to flip a coin that I know is completely fair. I would say that the probability of heads if 50%.

b) You have flipped a coin that I know is completely fair. Nobody knows what has been the result. I would say that the probability of heads is 50%.

c) You have flipped a coin that I know is completely fair. You know the result but I don't. I would say that the probability of heads is 50%.

In some cases you would say that I'm 100% right on my assesment of the probability being 50% while in others the actual probability is either 100% (with probability 50%) or 0% (with probability 50%). This seems irrelevant as far as my statement about the probability being 50% is concerned.

Try Lanes - https://lanes.io. It combines tasks, bookmarks and video annotations and uses the Mercury API under the hood.

Disclaimer: I made this. We've nailed down tasks and now we're focusing on making the read-later/bookmark feature top class. Articles are highlight-able and you can reference articles as tasks (because 'read this article' is a essentially a task) - we find this helps you read more, as most bookmark managers are essentially "here's a thing I like enough to save but will probably never read".

Give it a try.
The first sentence addresses this:

"...said the jet could be used with either pilots or as a drone."

It looks like they're going for optionality at this point, and have both bases covered.

This looks great! Is there any interface for extracting encrypted columns through this? For example, decrypting fernet encrypted values, given the key?
You are in a minority when it comes to that. Most people still go to Amazon (me included) because it is far easier to find what you want there for a lower or at least more fair price. Convenience is what dictates this kind of stuff, and Amazon, work practices apart, is know to deliver stuff really fast and cheaper than most, being the most convenient choice the same way Google is the most convenient choice when it comes to web searches.
Amazon is the front page nearly every day for some reason or other (:
