Based on some of the follow-ups you've posted here, it sounds like the crucial factor is the 1200€ authorization and capture from PayPal.

With your initial dispute of "order not received", they pointed to the 1200€ credit and said, "here's what you ordered". This credit does indeed disprove any claim of "I didn't get anything for the 1200€ I was charged".

The problem is you don't want to receive any order; you want there to be no order at all, and no exchange of 1200€.

Which version of PayPal checkout did they use? I think there's a standard PayPal checkout, where you complete the transaction at a PayPal-hosted page. And there's an "express" PayPal checkout, where you login to a PayPal-hosted popup to complete some initial authorization, then complete the checkout process on the merchant-hosted site.

I think there would have been some point where you authorized a 1200€ payment on a PayPal-hosted site, do you recall that step? I think that step is critical to your claim here that they should return your money.

You mentioned "They had authorization for recurring payments, so they pulled those 1200 without my interaction." And also, "at no point that amount was shown to me" How did they get that authorization? Could you reproduce the checkout flow up to the point of PayPal authorization to see if the 1200 amount is shown in the PayPal-hosted part of the checkout flow, and whether it's hidden in the merchant-hosted portion of the flow?

Probably Amazon is afraid of being replaced by AliExpress, which has lots of these sellers and their low prices.
If you decide to do your own research, you need to do the damn research. Just not listening is a terrible idea.

I don't buy this for a millisecond. Amazon ushered in this behavior and made it the "norm". It's throwaway, cheap, non-branded junk... and dangerous. There is value in discussion of the manipulation of the market and not just "Shop somewhere else". It's predatory.

The Lancet data shows the same conclusion through different means. Did you have any thoughts on that?
Not same SKU — same ASIN. I believe that brands that sell through Amazon (not FBA sellers), who are worried about comingled inventory, can get their official product moved over to a new ASIN, leaving the fakes behind in the old ASIN bin.
A URL is tied to an ASIN, so those don't change.

But the listing can get hijacked. There's an opportunity for improvement. Take down a listing when creative suddenly changes, for example.

Why would that demonstrate there is no effect? No treatment -> no effect bolsters the case for education, as my example shows treatment -> effect. There was no change in education that would have led to large IQ increases during that period in those countries. There was in South Korea, and the effect on IQ was dramatic.

The kind of ring species you refer to would also be possible, although far less likely.

The ancestor species could form a geographical ring, and if the members are not too populous, nor too migratory, then mutations that cause local incompatibility would be selected out (because it makes it much harder to find a mate) whereas mutations that cause non-local incompatibility may persist (if the species is largely non-migratory, so non-local compatibility is not as valuable). Over time, the non-local incompatibilities can build up and create a ring species like the one you describe.

But something like this is far less likely than a ring species with incompatible ends. Because such "complete" rings can decay into incomplete rings through the extinction of a connecting subspecies, and similarly, incomplete rings can segment further, and then grow again as two separate ring species. But a complete ring, once broken, is very unlikely to re-form.

No, it doesn't. It is designed as lightweight format for data storage and exchange. Usually it is used in the context of other GIS applications like QGIS. However, you can also use SpatiaLite to apply spatial functions to GeoPackage files.

> and the fixed bid includes the client signing off on the visual look and feel

He came to them specifically because he liked other work they had done and wanted something similar. Are there still vagaries between integration and specific brand tweaks? Sure. But don't pretend this is a major corporate rebrand or anything. The only discovery is his tastes.

If it's that big of a worry: make visual sign-off milestone one. Add a 10-15% upfront deposit and you both will know in a week or so whether it's right to move on with minimal loss to both parties.

Either way, he'd be much better off than 6mos+ of work at 450% of his original budget.
> Nowadays I only order from Amazon if the order is a time critical item that only they can deliver on time for a reasonable price. That's less than 5% of my purchases in dollar amount.

Funny that’s about 50% of my purchases because I’m terribly impatient and don’t (often) have a car so it’s way easier than going to the store and Canadas e-commerce options aren’t nearly as good as the US.
>that's an engineering tradeoff to lower the weight and thickness

This mod doesn't seem to change thickness at all and 3% weight gain for a gigantic jump in performance under load barely counts as a trade-off....more like a no-brainer.
Your answer really wasn't that neutral, unfortunately. For example both autistic and non-autistic people are capable of meanness, it doesn't really indicate anything either way. In fact neurotypical society is tolerant of cruelty to a degree that causes me an incredible amount of pain and distress.

And what are we even to infer from "and so on." Basically that "proper behavior" is what non-autistic people do, and that when we deviate from that it is inherently disruptive and improper. Which, we know that, a big part of our lives are spent managing the consequences imposed on us for not acting in the ways other people expect or demand.

It didn't clarify much for me except your ignorance or lack of depth of introspection on this subject, which is why I didn't engage with it further. But this "oh shucks I was just answering the question" response is also bad so here we are. I can't read your intent but I certainly received that response as a dismissive stereotype. If you didn't want it read that way you should rephrase it next time this comes up.
I wish there was some way to force the "sold by Amazon" filter to be on all the time; I think that would resolve most of the issues I have with browsing on Amazon.

There's still the inventory co-mingling issue that people have mentioned in other comments. Solving this would mean I'd start to consider using Amazon more frequently.
I do not think this is a matter of different approaches to health care, at least nod directly. Many young Americans are just not taking care of themselves. Every day I see 20, 30, 40-somethings who are grossly obese. Just this one factor is going to lead to worse outcomes and higher mortality for COVID as well as most other diseases and accidents across the board.
Walmart stores actually do very carful inventory control, and carefully manages the products it sells. The standard may be lower than you expect, but they are real.

Walmart marketplace is 3rd party sellers, but Walmart doesn’t commingle inventory so it doesn’t infect the rest of their products.

I use mpv on Linux and I find it a lot less pleasant to use than MPC-HC on Windows. I do not like how the UI elements hover over the content when playing in a window. I do not like how minimal the UI is, with most settings hidden in a configuration file.

One example of a common interaction that bugs me is changing audio or subtitle tracks. With MPV, you can cycle through them by clicking somewhat ambiguous buttons that show the index of the selected track. With MPC-HC, the context menu has audio and subtitle track menus that list each track and present any available metadata on them (language, track title).

Where MPC-HC shines though is in its configurability. It has a ton of options for using different decoders, renderers, and applying post process effects, all exposed through relatively easy to use menus and the settings dialog.
Oh, certain people, like those of us who are sick of the repeated behavior of our co-religionists from this exact same community? The minute I read this polio outbreak was in Rockland county, my heart sank. Everyone knew what that likely meant.

A frum friend of mine told me today that the rumor is an Israeli kid, vaccinated with the live polio vaccine, had just moved into the community and was the likely carrier, and will likely be blamed, completely unfairly — instead of the fact that Hasids in Monsey have a ghastly problem with under-vaccination and non-vaccination.

Yeah, there’s a very good reason that people bring up this same community every time there’s a preventable disease outbreak.
To be fair, digital currency was the norm long before crypto.

You shouldn't need someone you trust more than yourself to slap sense into you. You should view someone whom you trust strongly (but less strongly than your own thoughts) arguing hard as an indicator, even if you disagree with them. You should be able to ask "Why do we disagree", and trace that back to (hopefully) some simple but core value difference, like "I like hotdogs and they like hamburgers".

Your comment implies we desire no product segregation from Amazon, nor any quality control from them, which is not something most people think of when they think of what Amazon ought to be. Most people think of Amazon like they think of a physical Walmart location; as a store that vouches every product it sells. You put Alibaba or Ebay in the same category as Walmart, but that's more akin to Walmart.com, the thing that will kill that brand. People go to Alibaba, eBay or Walmart.com for the dangerous Chinese knockoffs.

I want Amazon to be far more selective of the product it sells.

So that begs an interesting question. EVE Online has one of the most nakedly Machiavellian power structure social dynamics I can think of in any multiplayer game. The combination of hypercapitalist core rules mechanics and hands off approach from moderators makes it a game where power is power.

Walmart.com is an infinite shelf of dangerous knockoffs just like Amazon. Walmart stores have no such problem.
I always wonder what products are so important that they need to be delivered next day? The few times I realised I need something urgently it typically means today and even next day delivery is not enough, so I go to a store and possibly pay a slightly higher price. For everything else it doesn't really matter if it is one or 5 days. Is the next day delivery really necessary or does it just appeal to our impulse of needing to have it in our hands right now?

What’s hard to believe about several thousand sellers all copying each other’s homework?
My understanding is that the items have different uuids, but there are no markings on the physical item. They’re identified by bin location.

There are lots of bins in the warehouse. They contain up to around five items each. There is a theoretical possibility that two of the same thing from different sellers could end up in the same bin. At that point the picker wouldn’t know which is which.

What worries me is the criminalisation of the workarounds. Obligations on providers are one thing, but the UK already has a mandatory minimum sentence of two years for not surrendering keys when there's an order. Expanding that power would be terrible, and is, I suspect, not far away.

Possibly there’s nothing to understand. It’s easily been long enough that it’s plausible that people are playing Chesterton’s Fence games, getting promoted for increasing revenue by .05% while making the experience 0.2% worse.
That’s true, I was more surprised that the article didn’t have even a passing mention of “hey don’t do this”.
Every item count is 1 less than the poll shows.
I think more people know how to define "3 days ago" when you tell them "provide it as an ISO 8601 time span" vs. "provide it in gits own format".

When it comes to presenting it nicely, then sure, use 3 days ago. No problem with that.

Slow Ways: Walking between cities
I’ll be the odd person out and say that whatever it’s faults as a company, my shopping experience on Amazon has been great. Not perfect, but nearly so. Certainly better than most other online retail channels, plus the convenience of Prime, and being a “one stop shop” certainly is super useful.

I don’t know what everyone is shopping for, But I’ve bought tons of items across a wide variety of categories. I usually avoid the obvious Chinese knockoff stuff (unless it’s some trivially unimportant thing), and don’t find it hard to do so at all.
Amazon carved a good niche for themselves by pretending you're not buying from them but rather some "vendor".

That's not right IMHO. The seller is Amazon; where they source their stuff and what subcontractors they have is their business.

It's like EBay takes more responsibility for products you buy, even though that is explicitly a site for matching random buyers and random sellers. Not that i use ebay much either.

You make some great and insightful commentary on many issues here, but I wonder if your fealty to the US Democrat party is putting some ideological blinders on. Racism meaning "treating people different on the basis of race/skin colour" is a pretty normal understanding of the term, and certainly it's not jargon from "Twiter or a message board". The random person on the street would likely agree that "treating people differently on the basis of race" is racism, plain and simple.

And as such, Rayiner's point about elected reps in the Democrat party, including but not limited to the President and high-ranking members of the Senate and House, making race the lens through which everything is discussed and planned for, is racism plain and simple. And it's frustrating for minorities to be disrespected and have their agency taken away by mainly caucasian liberals pretending to represent us. The sad part is that people like Biden and Warren know better, but they're just pandering with to a specific demographic that also views race as the primary driver of everything, but that in turn makes the middle ground also shrink, as people naturally look to mimic their leaders.

This tiresome focus on race-for-everything is making society much more racist, not less, and yes, I would agree it's mainly the Democrat party and it's current policies and rhetoric that is worsening it.
