Not really, or, at least, not at the same scale.

Staples (peanut butter, canned fruit, etc.) tend to have store brands, but grocery stores doesn't have a store brand version of the vast majority of popular products.
As I understand it, touching lead is actually worse than swallowing it because your skin is better at absorbing it than your digestive tract is. Also the toxicity comes from accumulation over time rather than accute exposure.
If you're lucky enough to live near an updated and uncongested tower, then yeah.

The same thing happened for my parents in rural Utah, just with FTTH instead. Unfortunately for them, they are overcharged enough that it's probably worth it at this point to switch to 5G.
> Conditioning sellers’ ability to obtain “Prime” eligibility for their products—a virtual necessity for doing business on Amazon—on sellers using Amazon’s costly fulfillment service

I'm no fan of Amazon, but that kind of makes sense - if they use another fulfillment service, Amazon wouldn't be able to guarantee next-day delivery for their products?
Decouple Amazon Warehouse division from Amazon Web Services (AWS largely subsidizes losses incurred by warehouse division), then we will see change.

Right now FTC going after low hanging fruit. But we all know Amazon will challenge it in court, appeal, appeal, appeal, pay the reduced fine, slow roll any changes, and business will continue as usual.

Break up the tech giants and each individual unit cannot survive as-is.
Strep is the “S” in “PANDAS” - something about the strep infection seems to become resident in the brain causing the immune system to attack it. MRIs show a speckled inflammation in certain areas of the brains of kids with an active PANDAS symptoms / Strep infection.

We worked with one of the pioneering doctors when our child was suffering, and she said their best theory is that there was a version of strep which caused Rheumatic Fever / Rheumatic heart infection, which affected many kids each year. Sometime in the 90’s that dropped off, and then they started to see kids with strep infections and then sudden onset OCD, tics, mood lability, and sleep disorders.

Her theory was that the strep which caused Rheumatic fever mutated to instead stay resident in the brain rather than the heart, and the immune system kept trying to attack it, especially when triggered by other stimuli like exposure to other colds, viruses, or allergies, leading to “flares” of the illness.

We had a dramatic proof that the illness was related to our kid’s symptoms when we discontinued the antibiotics and his symptoms flared terribly.

Ultimately, we were able to achieve symptom reduction through a long course of antibiotics, tonsil removal (which seems related to the immune system’s over-reaction in PANDAS cases), and a dramatic reduction of exposure to other illnesses while we all were in covid lockdown for years.

I know other families who don’t achieve acceptable symptom reduction move to IVIG after trying other treatments, and have found some success with that. I’ve also heard similar success stories from people with OCD/Tics following Lymes diagnosis who get IVIG.

It may be worth seeing if you can find a doctor willing to examine the issues you’re experiencing as a post-infection syndrome and discussing inflammation reduction protocols and other treatments.
You're allowed to win.

You're not allowed to complain.

I think that's a very American thing right now... politically too.

But downstream, there are lots of issues that arise if one can't expect some kind of balance in check-n-balances.
No, you don't understand, "vaccines" are just biological agents now. They're no longer merely "weakened" forms of what we're trying to protect against. Don't you see? Vaccines can't cause this sort of injury, because they're not the disease!

Definition of the word "vaccine":
Nov, 2020: "Definition of vaccine: a preparation of killed microorganisms, living attenuated organisms, or living fully virulent organisms that is administered to produce or artificially increase immunity to a particular disease"

c.f. current definition: "Vaccine: b): a preparation of genetic material (such as a strand of synthesized messenger RNA) that is used by the cells of the body to produce an antigenic substance (such as a fragment of virus spike protein)"

don't worry, i'm sure it doesn't mean anything.

What is the rationale* for VAT? I have never, ever understood this. If you are an individual, you pay income tax on your earnings. Why should you be taxed on your spending as well?

FBA seller here.

A lot of mom and pop businesses (~$20 million) have been built on Amazon over the past 10 years. Most of us are in the $250k to $5 million dollar range.

The impact of Amazon’s monopoly power is felt big time by us as we’re being squeezed with no place left to go online especially post-iOS change.

Our second option used to be the Facebook/Instagram/TikTok to Shopify connection but with that being dead in the water most of us have had to commit 100% to FBA to be able to stay afloat.

With the increase in inflation and Amazon abusing its power to significantly raise its prices for FBA and force us to use its advertising services our revenues have been severely impacted.

This doesn’t include their unwillingness to meaningfully fight counterfeits

Or that they penalize you if you attempt to drive sales elsewhere with lower pricing on other sites

I've thought along these lines too. Any time the possibility of scarcity it publicized, panic buying makes the problem far worse than it needs to be, as in the looming rice shortage or the recent toilet paper shortages. Oil is the lifeblood of industrial civilization, needed for everything from energy to raw materials; panic in the oil markets would threaten industrial civilization.

I mean this is something well proven in parasitic infections. For example snails that climb to the top of plants to be eaten by birds when they are infected.

Also rats that are infected that go hang about places where cats have peed so they get ate spreading the infection to cats.
The examples are listed in the article. The last point is pretty damning if they can prove it.

> Biasing Amazon’s search results to preference Amazon’s own products over ones that Amazon knows are of better quality.

> Degrading the customer experience by replacing relevant, organic search results with paid advertisements

> Charging costly fees on the hundreds of thousands of sellers that currently have no choice but to rely on Amazon to stay in business. [...]

> Anti-discounting measures that punish sellers and deter other online retailers from offering prices lower than Amazon, keeping prices higher for products across the internet. For example, if Amazon discovers that a seller is offering lower-priced goods elsewhere, Amazon can bury discounting sellers so far down in Amazon’s search results that they become effectively invisible.

Please tell me what major question this is violating? Anti-trust law is explicitly given in its ability to bring suit to these companies. The consumer harm standard isn't even a part of the law arguably the consumer harm standard should be overturned by the major questions doctrine since the court wrote the rule into the law wholesale without congresses directive decades after the law was written.

The ones folks are buying? Not really. :D Publishers still do a good job signing on authors. Audio books, I think, are very different. Audible was far more active in building up a market and voice talent than the competition for a long time.

That said, I am not aware of any actual anti-competitive practices that they do there. The examples that some high profile folks have used feel very weak. Prices are lower for customers than they have ever been, and profits for the talent are almost certainly up due to increased sales volume. Their percentage profit per sale is down, but the history could also be that keeping that percentage high would not have grown the market? Such that, they could not have gotten the larger pie without the smaller slice. But, now that the pie is big, they want the bigger slice.
To a first approximation, nothing can be translated 1:1.

You can still find some N5100 2-in-1s for sale, but they're being cleared out for N100 replacements.

You're probably still contagious for a while after the symptoms weaken.

Two hotels rooms often runs way more than renting an entire house on AirBNB. Hotels vs Rentals by owner seems like a hot take designed to show what sort of traveller you are. When.it was just me and my partner hotels were great. Drop your bag, run for the door, come back to sleep. Kids struggle doing 10 hours of on your feet time, which invariably means you'll be back at your acomodations for some decent chunk of the trip. Is that better or worse, hell if I know, but I love travelling with my kids, so I'ma do it no matter what concessions I have to make. And one of those is rentals-by-owner.
I can’t remember how I felt when I was <7 :(

Neither is Amazon in e-commerce, they hold ~39% of the US market and their eCommerce growth lags behind total eCommerce with 9% and 10% respectively. Wal-Mart is at about 6.5% but had nearly 25% growth this year while capturing 36% of all eGrocery sales in the US.

The only place where Amazon is even near 50% is in consumer electronics and office supplies.

The eCommerce market as such has a very long tail and a lot of competitive players just behind Wal-Mart.
Why coerce when you can pay for it? The FBI just paid Twitter to do their dirty work.
Loving this action by FTC. Amazon is the worst kind of predatory market provider - they are literally aliexpress + "steal good ideas from real companies" kind of grift.
Nerd-sniped: Free will is an incoherent idea. We don't choose our preferences, which dictate our choices. (And even supposing you can choose a preference, that's only due to the preexisting desire to have such a preference. Turtles all the way down.) What would an unconstrained choice even be? Just random, arbitrary? That doesn't sound "free" either.

The rational part of my brain says: networking matters, for obvious reasons.

Having said that, I have over 10 years of experience in the software industry, and my network "size" is essentially zero. I get along well with my peers when at job, but once I switch to another job, the only "link" between my old peers and me is linkedin. I have never relied on others to get a job, I have never recommended anyone... not because I don't like to do those things, but simply because I could get a job the usual way (Apply button). I've attended a couple of conferences (but only because the company was paying and because I was going already with some of my peers).

I don't keep the contact with the people I met at university either (I live now in another country, although this sounds more like an excuse in the era of the internet).

What a wild comment
Merits of this specific case aside, I find it really interesting that the FTC is going after Amazon now. They have pretty limited resources (especially relative to a massive tech co which can pour money into litigation) and have to pick and choose their battles carefully... I have to admit I'm a little frustrated that they're choosing to go after Amazon, which yes, imo the case definitely has merits and they do shady stuff like with dark patterns for trying to cancel accounts and the like, but there are so many other things more important to my life that seem broken that I wish the FTC would prioritize. How about more of a focus on insurers who refuse claims, drug companies flouting the law, PE firms jacking up the cost of housing or contractors gouging the government (and therefore all of us)?
Well that depends on how many people still use Google to search for products, and how many go directly to Amazon...

>The article is about UK doctors not recognizing PANDAS as a real illness.

I know, I read it before commenting.

I'm not saying the article is about the US system. I'm saying the comment I responded to appeared to say that the US system is better, and how those countries with other systems like the UK have it bad.

"Doctors not recognizing X as a real illness" can happen, and has, anywhere. It's not a result of how the medical system is structured with regard to public/private, universal healthcare or not, and so on.

There is no shortage of stories from the US about doctors refusing to take some illness or condition as real that was later proven otherwise (or vise versa), dismissing patient concerns that were later proven, and so on.

I'm curious how quickly you got on antibiotics, if at all. I had strep multiple times in my life, including tonsillitis that nearly hospitalized me one time. But my family was quick to spot the signs and get me treatment and I don't recognize any long term impact from it.
Sure:

1. I've been using CL for longer than Clojure has existed

2. SLIME is better than any Clojure dev setup I've seen

3. Maybe I'm misunderstanding things, but if I get how Leiningen works, I need to restart my REPL any time I want to add dependencies?

4. Kind of a minor thing, but working in a Lisp-1 hits the "uncanny valley" of programming for me; I accidentally shadow an important function at least once an hour when working in Clojure or Scheme.

I assume the poster meant that the infected are more social before they start having symptoms
The argument always boils down to "well it's allowed / that's just how you do things" and when the companies get told "No, that's actually not allowed and not how you should do things" the argument switches to "the FTC has been weaponized by The Other Side, even if they're doing pro-consumer things we shouldn't trust them because Big Govt."

Meanwhile, we have over 100 years over antitrust history and precedent pointing the other way. Sometimes Big Govt does need to step in and set the market right, because raw unfettered capitalism lacking regulation will always destroy itself. (For the record, and to preempt some strawmen, I don't think raw, unfettered socialism is The Way either.)

This seems extremely weak, even by recent FTC standards. Just in the past 2 years we've had the following e-commerce changes:

- Shopify small store explosion

- Google search adding products DIRECTLY to the search engine results

- LLM vs Search Engine battle. Whoever controls the LLM controls the product listing.

- Temu & Shein exploding onto the scene. WSJ just had an article on this yesterday.

My real annoyance with the FTC is why they refuse to go after REAL monopolies that actually hurt consumers, such as Apple and their closed App Store.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopoly

> The verb monopolise or monopolize refers to the process by which a company gains the ability to raise prices or exclude competitors. In economics, a monopoly is a single seller. In law, a monopoly is a business entity that has significant market power, that is, the power to charge overly high prices, which is associated with a decrease in social surplus.

> Product substitutability: Product substitution is the phenomenon where customers can choose one over another. This is the main way to distinguish a monopolistic competition market from a perfect competition market.
Except for some exclusive podcasts, which Google has zero, podcasts are an open standard. Google Podcasts is just one of many clients, so there was never a worry of service availability. All podcast apps except Spotify are just different UI.
The middle ground here seems not only theologically sound but biologically coherent as well. We have a constrained will.

Free will has never and will never exist since we are finite beings. We have a _constrained_ will that is boxed in by a number of factors: time, money, biology, knowledge, circumstances, etc. Theologically, that will is also constrained by our nature. There are certain spiritual things we cannot do in the same way we cannot do certain physical things.
A similar, more passive approach is to tell the AI to conjure 3 or 4 personas representing the main points of view about a particular topic (i.e. "universal basic income"). Each persona is an eloquent expert in the field with a strong opinion aligned with each of the PoVs. Then I ask them to debate the topic. Really insightful stuff.
It's going to come out that Amazon calls the manufacturers for their basics goods, sends them the leading competing item and has them make it with slightly less expensive components to undercut the cost of the competitor.

It's so blatantly obvious if you've ever done a side by side in things like lamps, backpacks etc and other super simple designs.
And so what if they did? Are manufacturers not allowed to sell to customers directly?
