That API you are describing is not active anymore. Hasn't been in a long time.

Keepa has to scrape Amazon data themselves.

The subscribe and save price reflects the listing price at the time your order is fulfilled.

As a seller, the number of subscriptions evaporates if I increase the price on an item.

What you are describing is not a tactic any business is intentionally employing. It's more likely born of incompetence.

This is not evidence of a monopoly.

This tactic would only impact Amazon owned listings, which account for a minority of the listings on Amazon.

Amazon does not change prices for listings controlled by third party sellers.

What's funny to me is that Amazon has a competitive price match policy, where they will hide offers for listings that are priced above other retailers. So the FTC's argument is that Amazon is trying to drive prices up while also driving prices down.

They are notoriously bad. And they don't get fixed. Got my Subaru and

1. The radio defaults to SiriusXM every time I turn on the car, even though I do not pay for it and do not want to.
2. Android Auto and Apple Car Play would cut out regularly
3. Eventually the entire system would just randomly crash and reboot frequently throughout a trip.
4. Found out there was a TSB out on the radio for frequent issues, and had to get it warrantied.
5. Even with the new radio, I have occasional issues with Apple Car Play freezing
6. I can't have both an android and iPhone connected at the same time, because I won't be able to use Android Auto, I'm forced into Car Play

And on the new cars Subaru made the screen narrow and tall. This effectively reduced the amount of screen space for Android Auto/car play in comparison with prior years.

Add to that the entire display is now needed for HVAC, heated seats, etc and do you really want to depend on a glitchy computer that frequently crashes?

Yeah, it doesn't make sense to impact an individuals education. The kind of kids who get in trouble are not going to be set on the straight and narrow by being left at home alone all day.

Yeah. In my experience you're still getting all of your classwork and you're getting instruction. But you're isolated from your peers.

In this instance especially it's fucking stupid. But in theory his education is not being completely interrupted by this bullshit

How did you discover he had it?

Seems like you have a few misconceptions.

My house is definitely not cheaply built. Yes it is wooden. Termites are rarely an issue for homeowners. Different building materials have different pros and cons.

I've never seen a house anywhere in the United States with no insulation.

And you pay for education the same way we do. Taxes.

They're the best

I don't get notifications when a message is in my inbox, but I have notifications enabled.

Really long story, made short: Reddit API was free. They decided to charge an insane amount of money for it, and gave developers almost no notice of the changes. Most 3rd party apps were forced to shut down as a result. This meant apps for people who need accessibility features, apps that moderators depended on, etc. Reddit's official app is a dumpster fire and offered very few much needed features.

People protested. Reddit removed moderators that protested. Many users left in response. At least one major 3rd party app switched to supporting Lemmy. A lot of users followed.

Oh absolutely. It's good to have at least one beer you can always come back to. For me that's been the Dogfish Head Sea Quench Ale

Love Cascade. Haven't been there, but I buy their beer out here in NJ.

I got started on sours because of them

It's true. Especially on the east coast.

I was down in Austin not long ago. Went to Jester King. Wow, cool brewery, and really good sours

It's true. But I also hate the flavored sours. Where they're literally adding flavoring to beer.

I'm currently enjoying Axe & Arrow. Honestly great with actual fruit.

Coming from C++ and Java over to Python was challenging. The IDE I used at the time also did not like when I used tabs instead of spaces, which drove me up a wall.

I will say that for beginners where python is their first language, it does a good job at reinforcing good practices for writing legible code.

Sour beers are where it's at

These guys tried to get a previous employer of mine to advertise with them. It works great if your entire audience is tech bros. Ours was not.

30 years old. US. I can and do drive a stick shift.

Really hard coming from a family with only automatic cars. Very few people have stick cars, and even fewer are willing to teach you in their own car.

Can't even rent a stick shift to practice on. Your best bet is to sign up with a driving school that offers stock shift lessons, which I almost did.

Instead, a buddy of mine was kind enough to let me practice for 2 hours with him in a beater he had. Then I went and picked up my brand new WRX. Stalled like 12 times on the way home. But I figured it out!!

Idk, I leverage Slack huddles regularly and have absolutely no issues with multiple people hanging out and having casual conversations while working. We do these spontaneously throughout the day.

How old are your coworkers generally? My company is mostly on the younger side of things. We grew up with team speak, steam voice chat, and now are often in discord. This is not unfamiliar territory and has always worked well outside of the office.
