Good luck to all. I'm curious what areas are impacted. This is what I've heard was cut in October:

Amazon Games

Visual search / Amazon Lens teams

Advertising org

Devices / Fire TV / RBKS

Prime Video

Alexa

Payments

Pharmacy and Health-related bets

Games (beyond the named studios)

Recruiting / HR

Catalog / Retail support teams

I assume OP is referring to internal-to-isreal structures such as the independence of the supreme court.

I've found some of Loom's auto-descriptions (including previews in Slack) to be pretty solid use case for AI.

From the article and comments, I'm assuming this will operate similarly to how Windows makes it slightly harder to run applications that aren't signed by a known trusted source.

If so, I don't have a problem with that.

Presumably gets close to

> Digital Markets Act, a 2022 law that requires Apple to open iPhones in the bloc to competing app marketplaces and alternative payment systems for in-app sales.

Sure, but not all retaliation is equal and nation states know what constitutes escalation vs retaliation without escalating.

I'm failing to find it, but after the recent Israel <> Gaza war kicked off, there was an interesting article about the types of military actions between Israel <> Hezbollah and what constituted "not escalating" vs "escalating." The different attack options for each side were asymmetric, but basically both sides had "ramp up the conflict" and "ramp down the conflict without losing face for not responding" options.

Unless this is a prelude to more attacks, this feels like a "de-escalation" option to me: Iran gets headlines, gets to negotiate, gets to show its strength domestically, but if this is the extent of it probably no one dies and the damage will be limited to shipping insurance costs and the like. Big $ numbers, but not blood.

That isn't to say some terror group or 3rd party (Saudi, Houthis, etc) isn't going to take this moment to take a swing at one of the parties involved, it's always possible.

I'm glad that so far there haven't been any reported injuries, and I'd rather have ship hijackings than missiles or car bombs.

Hopefully this is the extent of the retaliation, but who knows.

Yeah my thought was similar: One day in the future its current behavior changes once it has built up enough traffic...

He let his private equity / investment company (Alameda) borrow unlimited customer funds via a software backdoor for various investments.

This is a really high quality comment you've written here, thank you for posting your perspective.

For those of us who don't know about testing, can you explain COA/GMP and how robust the testing process is?

The reason I ask I'm a little concerned about Amazon's incentives not being aligned with consumers priority for high quality and safe product and is letting suppliers choose which product(s) to submit for testing rather than doing periodic random testing which I fear is too much to hope/ask for...

Yup that is how I read it as well. Product decision.

> And I will not learn a single new thing if I go back to university, unless it's a good one

While I understand the Indian University sentiment here, there are many other opportunities for learning AND promoting yourself at the same time. For example, contributing to open-source software (especially software that is used by corporations) is a classic route for a reason.

Pretty useful, thanks!

IMO I care much more about contacts changing jobs, getting laid off, and talking about their side projects than anything else.

I probably should see if someone has a linkedin script to remove non-1st connection content.

Unless you have experience using your JD in a corporate legal dept or law firm setting that probably won't get you too much of a lift, but certainly doesn't hurt.

If you read the job req I think they're quite open to someone with little management experience, if that is something you're interested in.
