    Went to log into #Amazon to see whether they support security keys for two-factor authentication, but no, all they offer is SMS codes.

    How does the corporation with possibly the largest sales revenue on the planet not support modern security on their site?

    I may have already posted this, but I didn’t see it when I looked, so here it is again.

    #Amazon is connecting Ring and Echo devices across individual networks, so that neighbors with slow networks or network downtime can still use their devices via bandwidth provided by their neighbors’ Amazon devices. This, of course, completely short-cuts your own network’s security settings .

    This is opt-out (on by default), not opt-in (off by default), so those who have such devices must follow the instructions to change them.

    1. You Need to Opt Out of Amazon Sidewalk
      Have you heard of Amazon Sidewalk? Probably not. But there is a good chance that you or someone you know has an Amazon Echo or Ring camera. And if you own one of those devices and live in the U.S. (or know someone who does), you need to tell them to opt-out of the service as soon as possible.

    @mangeurdenuage Yeah, I don't see why cloud customers don't default to multiple zones, so a localized outage doesn't take their whole service down. I mean, I know it costs more that way, but "more reliable" is one of the main selling points of #Amazon #AWS and other big clouds.

    If I ever meet the guy at #Amazon that decided that breaking up orders into multiple tiny shipments was okay, I'll kick him in the crotch so hard that his testes will be sticking out of his ears.

    Ordered some clothing for #Little_Boy_A and #Little_Boy_A2. The 7 year old and the 4 year old have the same waist size, so ordering pants is sort of questionable. Will the legs be long enough for the older child? Will this shirt fit the younger child without dragging the floor?

    I often try to avoid #Amazon, but this time, I ordered from there. One of the things I dislike about Amazon is when I order items for multiple children in the same house, and they spread the delivery over a month's time. It's really a lot easier if everyone gets their stuff at the same time, even if they have to collect everything at one warehouse (ship it to that warehouse) and then ship it all together to the customer.

    In this case, besides my order, #sonOne purchased clothing and shoes for #Little_Girl_A3. All of her things have arrived already, but for the boys, only a pair of t-shirts have arrived. The rest will arrive in (what looks like) 4 more shipments between now and the end of November.

    I still haven't ordered their shoes. And I don't know whether #sonTwo ordered their socks yet.

    "New reality show idea - "the great package race" wherein contestants all order something simultaneously from Amazon."

    Interestingly (at least, to me), the purchasing folks at $EMPLOYER are not allowed to use #Amazon specifically because a single purchase gets broken down into multiple transactions and shipments. It triggers the auditors, who suspect this kind of activity is a way to get around spending limits and ethics restrictions.

    @aktivismoEstasMiaLuo

    "If the world dies by fire, it will be in part due to cloud compute sales to the oil and gas industry by the big three cloud service providers: #Amazon, #Microsoft, #Google ... every sale of cloud technology into the #oil and #gas sector lowers the underlying cost structure of those industries, making them more cost-competitive against #wind and #solar.

    This is unconscionable. No wonder they're also funding #ClimateChange "skeptic" propaganda projects.

    Thing is, once the net and the web went mainstream, the decline of the classified ad sections funding newspaper journalism was inevitable. Even if there were no #Craigslist etc, there would still be #Freecycle.org and info pages listing local second hand dealers, and other net-based tools that help people exchange used stuff. In #Aotearoa, one of the major newspaper chains moved with the times by buying #TradeMe, the local equivalent of #Ebay or #Amazon.

    @freemo

    If Capitalism was the default, you'd find it among apes. Instead Capitalism is a recent invention and it's always evolving towards stronger concentration of wealth.

    But let's recap.

    By now we know that wealth generation (by technology) doesn't prevent its concentration during distribution and how such concentration subtracts such wealth from being distributed (by definition).

    Just like a dam at the river head, people concentrating wealth subtract to those who would get down the flow (think of Bezos and #Amazon employees).

    Furthermore you accept that people are not rational agent: they are continuously manipulated through their biases (the "behavioral futures" that #Surveillance capitalist trade) to buy products they don't need (thus NOT generating wealth, but giving away their own wealth).

    Also (as far as I can see in this thread) you don't contest the fact that corporation aren't rational either as they optimize one single scalar dimension, profit: the net wealth built by corporation that maximize profits is negative as soon as you take the externalities into account.

    Now the point of a #UMW (Universal Maximum Wealth) is not to punish anyone for harming anyone else. And it's not even a way to turn irrational people into rational one! (for that we need education, with a strong focus on #History and #Informatics, see http://www.tesio.it/2019/06/03/what-is-informatics.html)

    UMW is just a way to build a simple and effective incentive system designed balance #collaboration and #competition.

    One the drive to accumulate more wealth is balanced by the need to increase the wealth of everybody else, corporations will have fewer and fewer reasons to fool people through #marketing.

    So while people will stay as irrational as they already are, there will be no advantage to exploit their bias.

    In that context, #AdamSmith's #trust would be possible again, raising the probability of actual wealth creation by rational trades.

    Basically, in such framework Capitalism could probably work.

    Now, you see all this is flawed, but you didn't explain (or I didn't understood) how.
