This isn’t Amazon, its just a seller on Amazon - just an advertisement for an engineered lumber log home kit (not sure who would want that?). You can buy all sorts of kits like these all over the world. Some include more, some less, some log, some not. How is this interesting or news?
Personally
Agreed. This is Facebook-level outrage and Facebook-level market consequences (little to none).
> and pay for uniforms

It's bad enough that the school enforces a school uniform in the first place, let alone has the nerve to make parents pay for it.
Yeah, that was Sears Roebuck's wheelhouse for some time. They actually looked pretty good in the catalogs; though I'm not aware of having been in one knowingly. Though I wouldn't be surprised if I have been in one.
I can read it out loud in both a passive aggressive manner, and as a softly worded request.

Body language, tone and cadence all affect how this request is understood.

Words read on a screen are often filtered through your presumptions of the writer's tone, rather than the actual tone that was meant.

Or people stop giving crap and realize everyone's got dirt on everyone anyway, and stop giving too much thought.

The Chinese political system is like this, everyone's corrupt but it's ok because everyone's doing it. Until one day when the bigger guy doesn't like you and starts pursuing corruption charges against you. Then it's a matter of who has more connections (with the chief of police, or the judiciary). Which seems like jungle law but with lawyers...
Doesn't Amazon charge for warehouse space? I would imagine that the warehousing fees for that would be insane.

Although I did buy a granite 12"x18" surface plate that was FBA- I'm sure they lost on shipping that 2 day, it weights ~90lbs. I noticed that shortly after I bought that the item was no longer fulfilled by Amazon.
You didn't answer my question.

How would you have phrased (empathetically) the ask that someone stop eating your food? Let's pretend you're asking me.

If I wanted to, I could take anything you say the wrong way. NVC is generally good for avoiding most of the easy pitfalls.

They're approaching the conversation with a goal-oriented mindset, where engineering circumstances that result in my compliance is a puzzle they've been tasked with solving.

That covers everything from persuasion to manipulation to managing to parenting.

I doubt that this is actually your criterion, because in the course of a single week you will approach a conversation in a goal oriented way many times. Every human does this unconsciously. People who claim they don't just don't realize that they do.
Again, given the number of spammy, crappy copycats, fake reviews bad products I have sort of lost my trust on Amazon. It's just super crappy.

Sears started by shipping homes by the way, it would be awesome for someone to pull this off in 21st century.

I don't understand the line of reasoning here. If Blizzard wants to (appear to, if we doubt their sincerity) support a political cause, that's a decision by the company. I agree that they should expect a potential fallout for that.

But how is that related to Blizzard sponsoring (paying for casters, production and using their branding) content where random individuals make their own political statements (imho: presented in questionable ways)?

Is "not supporting individuals to hijack your platform for their own agenda" now immediately the same as "explicitly aligning yourself with the opposite political position"?

That feels like the "If you're against censorship you support child porn" argument? "If you don't want any random political statements then you are explicitly against the specific political point that a random guy chanted" does seem weird.
the #d channel on freenode is extremely helpful and knowledgeable though, which helped fill the gaps for me personally.

I've seen a few prefab buildings sold by merchants on Amazon's site, most seem to be aimed at the ADU (backyard cottages for rentals basically) market.

I'm curious to watch and see how long before a big company like Amazon or AirBnB starts offering their own standardized ADU build-outs that are integrated with their smart locks and other services. I would think they could use their scale to come up with something that could be sold and built for a reasonable price.
Sears going into self-driving cars is a ridiculous pivot. Sears going into online shopping is staying in the same industry, but adopting a disruptive change to sales and distribution.
>Those "fairness" and "equal time" doctrines really only exist because broadcast spectrum is a limited resource.

Laws don't exist because of this or that physical necessity. A physical necessity might encourage us to make a law, but in general laws exist because people (or at least, the legislative body) wanted them and can have them enforced. There's no physical necessity that says children should not work in factories, for example. They very well could in the 19th century (and well into the 20th, even in the USA). We just willed it as unacceptable and voted it into law.

So whether fairness doctrines where initially made because of limited time/space on tv, is neither here, nor there. A law could enforce it for any website that operates as a journalistic website, or is above a certain size, etc.

But even under the "law exists because of limited resource" model, the argument is flawed. Specifically:

>By contrast Internet bandwidth and sites are effectively infinite so there's no need to force access to any particular platform. Just use a different one, we have lots to choose from.

That's also neither here, nor there, as some platforms are more dominant than others.

The fact that politician X can get on Facebook, while Y cannot because FB doesn't let them, can already influence elections to the point of election fraud -- even if Y can still open a Tumblr or run their own webpage. It's where the eyeballs are that matters, and "viewer capture" is still a limited resource (that's the same thing that FB and co sell to advertisers: that they are the place where most people are).

And of course this setup (allowing X, disallowing Y candidate) can be leveraged as a mean of influence, from FB or from some country that controls FB for its foreign interests, or be sold as a service to the highest bidder "we advertise you, and disallow your opponent". The deal can be made under the table, if needs be.

Such a law is perfectly reasonable and doable, even if it explicitly regulates only a specific part of social media (say, the top-dogs of user engagement like FB, YT, Twitter and co, and not the long tail, e.g. some random blog or Diaspora).
Columnar formats generally compress very well due to the similarity between values in the same column.

No buses in California or NYC for the most part kids take public transportation.

Per se.
Another perspective from Australia. When I was in high school virtually everyone took the bus to school except a few of the yr 12s who could drive themselves. The only problem was the nearest bus stop was an hours walk away from my house so I still had to get driven to the bus stop.
One of my good friends lives in one. There is even a little shed in the back yard that was the living quarters while her grandparents built the place.

First, you got it backwards. It would be the social media platforms that would want to engage in censorship (and countries in my proposal would enforce them to be open).

Second, they should be careful not to let the door hit them on their way out. They'd lose the money, E.U. gains getting rid of Facebook (and gets the chance to grow its own, open, alternative).

Rosenberg's book resonated with me. I was raised in a family that has about zero capacity for understanding or communicating their own needs, but quick to point out what others need or should do. I used to think I had high empathy, but post-therapy I realized that I was really letting other people project their feelings into me, and had an underdeveloped sense of self. And it was hard for me to ask things of others, assuming I would be burdening them. It's a product of how I was raised, how my parents were raised, going back probably many generations. Hopefully it ends with my generation.

NVC really is amazing. It immediately cuts down tension when flight or fight responses are triggered.
that would be freaking amazing, I really miss public streets in Europe and restaurants and bars with terasses. I have to cross Market by foot every day to commute and it's a nightmare. I also like to use kick scooters along Market to travel in San Francisco and it's also a nightmare because of the car and the state of the road :/

I get the impression they're going to get more into collaboration tools. Better document/file sharing, some light project management features, etc.

I'd settle for being able to manually sort my channels.

Meetup has a spam issue for lack of a better way to describe it.

One problem is there are people that post the same event multiple times. I documented one where they posted the same event 22 times. I'm not sure how they even do that. One way they do it is just to post the same event 5 minutes apart so looking at the list of things to do the same event appears over and over. All of these are the same event: https://i.imgur.com/o4fAxjA.png and there are plenty more of the same event further down the page. But it's not just different times. https://imgur.com/C1gMleC

I've seen one event which is clearly fake. It's always full at 101 attendees from the moment it is posted. I'm not even sure what the point is except maybe to harvest names from a waiting list? Like maybe the idea was if the meetup looks popular people will try to join? The event is clearly a marketing event (not about marketing itself, but an event designed to sell attendees on a service)

Another issue is just bars effectively listing that they're open. I don't know how to solve that. It's one thing if it's really a "meetup" like "model rocket talk at Bar ABC" but some listings just come across as "we're open"

The other big issue with Meetup.com is email spam. They have like 40 different things they can send you email for PER meetup and attending any meetup signs you up for all 40 things. I get that I might want to know about meetups I've been to before so maybe that's okay? But... They also end up signing you up to categories of similar meetups and so if you ever attended a new meetup you'll get added back to the category. Which I also get. And it might be fine except at literally 65% of the email I get daily is from meetup.com at this point. So it feels like something is clearly not working.

The finally issue I've seen is fraud? I've seen a meetup where the user kept posting things like 250 people have signed up! Hurry now! And then the next day 350 people have signed up for our party!!! The final count they claimed was 600 people but the venue only legally allowed 200 people. I brought it up the venue only held 200 people (listed on their website) and the guy just asked if I was attending his awesome event with 600 people.
2900 sqft is actually a lot of house. With windows, plumbing, and wiring such a house would cost over $1MM in Amazon's home, Seattle.
My brain generated "nonvolatile communication", which fits the acronym.
That assumes a single school employee covers the entire span. Our school in NYC had different shifts — so 7am class teachers were not the same ones doing late afternoon classes.
This is one of the reasons I love audible. Driving to and from work is probably the single biggest uninterrupted chunk of time I get to myself, unless I stay up late at night. For whatever reason, I can multitask driving and listening, so I can listen to a couple of books a month that way.

I used to listen to sports radio to fill that time, but the local station has fired all their decent on-air talent, so I guess, thanks Entercom?
> They could win everywhere but China, by explicitly choosing to withdraw their products from China.

Westerner here. No, I don't want ANY political agenda in game streams. If Blizzard hosts people shouting "Free HK", "Liberate Tibet", "Support Palestine" then I'm going to tune out and don't buy their shit. If the next Dota2 stream I'm watching randomly is interrupted by one team reenacting a school shooting to then shout "restrict gun laws, down with the NRA" then I'll close the window and buy less Blizzard stuff.

This just Does Not Belong There. YMMV, but I really, really don't want to see this kind of content in gaming streams and would be turned OFF by it. China is unrelated at this point.
Check out menards or a local lumber package.. 2 carpenters can frame a house pretty quick so.. I would say until we get ikea modular houses pre wired and plumbed that this isn’t worth it.
Teachers can't bear to carry that load themselves. That's ridiculous. Parents have a load to carry. Parenting isn't easy. I know people whose idea or rearing is limited to feeding, dressing and sending their kids to school. "Kids are not expensive" is what they tell me.
I keep an excel spreadsheet with all my contacts I have made over the years with notes and categories. I usually try to go through it once or twice a year and update old records.

I’ve used this to populate a couple of different CRMs I had but I always keep the excel updated. This lets me always be able to maintain my contacts and update any device or system I need to.

Yea this is kinda low tech but it has proven super easy to manage and has allowed me to keep my contacts even after I leave a position. And I am never held hostage to any specific software system as I also export a CSV backup after I do a cleanup too.

I feel like one reason we’re “stuck with modernism” is that it’s an umbrella term that points to many distinct forms which are reacting against some tradition. In this sense, it’s a pretty useless term, as distinct periods will always be reacting against what has come before, otherwise we wouldn’t note them as such.
"Hey bro, I just noticed that the food I'd been saving for dinner in the fridge wasn't there. It's kind of stressing me the fuck out, I'm not good at planning when I'm hangry..."

"Oh yeah dude I ate that, I'm really sorry, I didn't even think about it."

"That's all right man. Would you be willing to help me find some food for tonight? I'm sort of beside myself."

"For sure, here, let me see..."

Conversation resumes when player one is not hangry. Left as an exercise to the reader.
It already exists.. check out menards. Or call your local lumber yard and ask for a kit house.
$2 per atendee - what a brilliant way to kill the platform. No one is going to pay the fee and just migrate to facebook events and a million of other alternatives. This is hilarious.

Sears started as a mail order watch and jewelry company in 1886 (sold by Sears, then reformed in 1892 with Roebuck). They started selling houses in 1908. They already had the present day equivalent of over a billion dollar valuation at that point.

What a shame that a great original thinker like Mullis ends up with dementia. It's crazy that solving aging isn't a #1 international priority.
Where I live that would go for around 400k. I’m about level to LV prices. At 150k you have a pretty strong budget for the land. Don’t know what the plumbing and electrical would run though.

Edit-Ok after looking at the photos I could see that going for more toward the 500k line. That’s a very nice home.
Hmm, I guess it could provide some protection against some types of XSS, but it's not comprehensive. It doesn't provide any protection against stored XSS. And even for reflected XSS, it assumes the only dynamic thing in your URL is form inputs.

An example of something dynamic in your URL that's not a form input would be links to various articles posted through some type of CMS. For example http://example.com/article?id=foo or even http://example.com/article/foo . In both cases if foo doesn't exist, a badly-written error page could print out "Error, foo was not found" without escaping foo.
I live in a Sears house from 1912. My house was rebuilt 10 years ago though and an extra floor added. All my neighbors have pretty much the original design though. They are pretty sweet little houses with a tiny drive way. Maybe a Model T could have fit down it - but no modern car can.
It's pretty hard to use it as you intend.

I think you're missing the implicit "wink wink" lol

Unless you signed some non-compete that extends beyond the time you were employed (and you're in a jurisdiction where that's actually enforceable), taking that idea and whipping up a new implementation from scratch (then selling it to other businesses, including, say, your former employers' competitors) should be perfectly legal. It might be a bit below-the-belt, but well, maybe said former employer should've thought about that before kicking you to the curb :)

Free speech is an ideal, the constitutional protection is only an implementation and in the modern world arguably not the most important one.

As for compelling companies to do business with people they don't want to, we crossed that line long ago, they can't refuse service to people on the ground of race, sex, etc. Are you in favor of getting rid of anti-discrimination laws?
This is a serious question -- you really can do a venue, stickers, beers, and other stuff for $4 pp? Because I am struggling to see how that works. My rough guess from having thrown events would be $14 pp for decent food, beers and some nicer-than-soda non-alcoholic alternatives, etc.
Professional thieves are professional enough to not waste time on the foreigner that was probably broke since you were staying in their neighborhood. And professional thieves need a level of anonymity to work, which goes out the door when they rob someone in front of their aunt.

It would be great to have all this data but... It's not sufficient because anyone can post anything so it becomes a magnet for scammers. One, they'll make up events for non-events like just listing their bar exists. They'll also fill out fake schemas just for SEO, example fill out an event "Viagra cheap!"

Of course I guess that's no different than crawling the web. Just saying that even with the data itself you need some serious spam detection to make it useful.
It's the same reason Swiss watches never went electronic and the Japanese snatched the market away. It's just not how business works because management gets fixed on dumb bureaucratic things and fails to innovate. MBA folks aren't that good at business the same way English majors aren't that good at writing novels.
>If you want to improve your relationships though, make rule zero "minimize the extent to which you require other people in the world to change."

I actually think this is profoundly awful advice, that gets progressively worse the more intimate the relationship, as a fundamental function of human relationships is accountability.
It is pretty expensive considering the cost of those items are pretty dang high, especially windows and doors of which numerous windows are custom shapes. Not to mention the labor costs of it all which are not included and are going to cost atleast as much as the materials. So it is closer to 300K for just the framework. I also don't see other things mentioned like roofing material or insulation and the whole thing needs to be painted or finished. The foundation is also a large cost.
