Possible sure. If you cherry pick the absolute biggest games + their DLC. What are THEY playing. I’m sure the crossover from nba2k, Skyrim,and cod is huge 🙄
- Comment on The PlayStation 5 Slim is a Massive Rip-off 1 year ago:
Bullshit. Which 5 games you have installed to be maxed out? You’d literally need to take the 5 largest and then add on 100gb in saves.

Until some random doxes people.
You’d think, after seeing bitching posts about privacy one after the other folks would be concerned.
- Comment on Piss, you're being filmed. 1 year ago:
I am all but certain that when small neighborhoods put up those speed camera that don’t do anything or speed bumps it only makes the neighborhood louder. Instead of narrowing the roads they will just piss people off who will just floor it.

If a town put this up, and I was piss drunk, I’d 100% go to town.

- Comment on Amazon reportedly used a secret algorithm to jack up prices — A new report details Amazon’s Project Nessie pricing algorithm 1 year ago:
Amazon is pretty upfront with customer data and protects it well. You might not agree with their policy, but they’ve never lied to the b2b and AWS customers.
- Comment on Amazon reportedly used a secret algorithm to jack up prices — A new report details Amazon’s Project Nessie pricing algorithm 1 year ago:
I agree that could be a sticking point, and maybe end up with a minor fine for that. Amazon (and Google+ Ms) typically are very good at separating that data. I’m not sure what Amazon would use that here.

- Comment on Amazon reportedly used a secret algorithm to jack up prices — A new report details Amazon’s Project Nessie pricing algorithm 1 year ago:
Amazon ain’t serving you heat and electricity. You can go get your plastic from any number of retailers. Amazon is just automating more competitor analysis and using that data to automate pricing.
There is nothing going on here that doesn’t go on in every industry. The only way they get in trouble is if they are using internal pricing data that’s only available to them. In which case they can just scrape the public data instead
- Comment on Amazon reportedly used a secret algorithm to jack up prices — A new report details Amazon’s Project Nessie pricing algorithm 1 year ago:
This isn’t an interconnected two way API/algorithm. There is no collusion here. That requires a two way communication and agreement. Amazon is taking public data and automating what every company out there already does.
At best Amazon will get pegged if they are using internal pricing data, but they likely are using publicly available data from the site to avoid that.
- Comment on Amazon reportedly used a secret algorithm to jack up prices — A new report details Amazon’s Project Nessie pricing algorithm 1 year ago:
I am shocked that business changed prices to meet demand. SHOCKED!

Windows bad. Linux good. Not study finding content that fits this narrative.

So the same thing here.
- Comment on Robin Williams' daughter Zelda says AI recreations of her dad are 'personally disturbing' 1 year ago:
Get used to it. Best case stuff like this gets covered commercially. Nobody is going to be able to regulate what individuals can do.

Not sure what you mean?

Yep, floor warehouse workers. You’ll need to be physically fit and okay with a warehouse floor schedule (timed breaks and shit) , but it’ll pay for a place to live and Amazon benefits are better than average(I can’t bring myself to say good) there.
