Surreal trip through the $175 B Amazon Marketplace(courtesy of The Verge) When you buy something on Amazon, the odds are, you aren’t buying it from Amazon at all. Plansky is one of 6 million sellers on Amazon Marketplace, the company’s third-party platform. They are largely hidden from customers, but behind any item for sale, there could be dozens of sellers, all competing for your click. This year, Marketplace sales were almost double those of Amazon retail itself, according to Marketplace Pulse, making the seller platform alone the largest e-commerce business in the world. That and more on the specific instance in the article that sounds Hellish and arbitrary at the Verge. I purchase a lot off Amazon. I did the vast majority of my Christmas shopping there. I use Subscribe & Save, Prime Pantry, Prime Reload, Twitch Prime, and a lot of other Amazon programs. I try to stay away from Kindle, but even have books there now, and excised Alexa in favor of Google Home (though it's really two devils in that case, rather than a devil and an angel). But seeing these articles, it makes it hard to support them. But so far, the convenience outweighs my conscience. That, and knowing people who make a lot more money in that way than they ever were able to through Mail Order, eBay, and Brick and Mortar. |

Anyone trying Flutter? (Android/ios cross platform dev tool from google)Anyone trying Flutter? (Android/ios cross platform dev tool from google) https://news.slashdo...ment-with-flutter-10 "Google has launched Flutter 1.0, the first stable release of its open source, cross-platform UI toolkit and SDK. "Flutter lets developers share a single code base across Android and iOS apps, with a focus on speed and maintaining a native feel," reports Ars Technica... Flutter apps are written in Dart, and the SDK offers programmers nice quality-of-life benefits like the "stateful hot reload," a way to instantly make code changes appear in the emulator. For IDEs, there are plugins for Visual Studio Code, Android Studio, and IntelliJ. " See also https://arstechnica....nt-with-flutter-1-0/ |

Funny Video: Multiplayer Flight Simulator Air Traffic Control JobHere's an example of one of those things that illustrates the incredibly amazing age we live in, and an example of exactly the kind of humor that makes me smile to the core of my being. It's a multiplayer flight simulator (Flight Simulator X) where people can take on different roles, including as pilots and air traffic controllers, without rules and governed only by their own love of the protocols of the real world jobs they are performing. They play around with the real lingo and rules, and put their own psychotic little twists on things. LOVE IT. posted by mouser
