    2/ Since 2021, these 2 lines moved up and down together in an almost perfect sync. But just a few months ago, this dynamic completely broke off. The red line shows the performance of semiconductor companies or AI builders like Nvidia, Broadcom, and TSMC. And the white line shows the performance of the hyperscaler companies or AI spenders like Amazon, and Meta.

    AMAZON KEEPS BUILDING CANADA ANYWAY $AMZN is still expanding north even with the tariff fight on. Internal docs say Canada package volume should grow faster than the U.S. through 2029. $EWC $SPY 🔹 Canada volume seen up more than 40% from 2026 to 2029 🔹 Same-day only hits 54.5% of Canadian Prime members vs 70–85% of households for faster rivals 🔹 Plan is more fulfillment so 63% of shipments sit within 160 miles by 2029 Tariffs are the noise. Density is the actual problem.

    @AmazonHelp What a joke. Order marked DELIVERED. I received NOTHING. Amazon can't tell me where it was delivered or what happened, and customer service says they can't help. So Amazon can lose a package, mark it delivered, shrug and keep the money? Disgraceful. Fix this.

    Most people lose more money to bad storage than to bad vendors. Freeze-dried peptides last about a year at room temp out of sunlight. Fridge and freezer extend that dramatically but only if you're doing it right. I broke down every container I own, cheapest to most expensive: Vacuum seal bags (my budget pick under $20 and it works) The $13 Amazon travel case HydroPeak + 3D printed inserts Even a Pepsi bottle someone in the community uses as a stash container Heat and moisture are what kill your peptides. Not time. Full breakdown in the video. Also giving away 5 Reta Essential Kits + a full year in the community. Follow + comment to enter. Sept 1.

    OpenAI just built its own chip. And that quietly tells you where the AI war is actually being fought. It's called Jalapeno. Their first custom chip, made with Broadcom, built for one job running AI models. The early results claim more intelligence per watt, faster answers, and lower cost, all at once. Now sit with how strange that is. OpenAI is a software company. Designing silicon is slow, brutal, and expensive. They did it anyway. Why? Every reply ChatGPT gives runs on Nvidia chips. Scarce. Pricey. Controlled by someone else. Build your own, and suddenly every answer gets cheaper, and you stop depending on a single supplier. And it's not just them. Google, Amazon, now OpenAI, all racing to make their own. The fight everyone watches at the model level is really being won at the chip level. One honest note. These are OpenAI's own early numbers, not independently tested, and the chip isn't out at scale yet. But the direction is clear. Whoever controls the chip controls the cost.

    @RavynSkye1 @PressSec “I can exist just fine without the internet.” Congratulations. That's not what anyone asked. The question is how much of your ordinary modern life depends on American goods, companies and services. Let's count just ten: 1. Your smartphone. Apple dominates Canada's smartphone market, with roughly 58% of Canadian cellphone owners using an iPhone. 2. Your social media. You're literally posting this argument on X, an American platform. 3. Your search engine. Google is American. How many times a day do you use it? 4. Your email. Gmail is American. So is Microsoft Outlook. 5. Your cloud storage and computing. Amazon, Microsoft and Google control about 85% of Canada's public cloud market. 6. Your credit card. Visa and Mastercard are American payment networks. The Bank of Canada specifically identifies VisaNet and Mastercard's payment systems as major payment systems relied upon by millions of Canadians every day. 7. Your streaming. Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+ and Spotify are all American companies. 8. Your online shopping. Amazon is American, and millions of Canadians use American payment and technology infrastructure to buy things online. 9. Your computer software. Windows, Microsoft 365, Teams and countless other programs Canadians use every day come from American companies. 10. Your digital payments. Canadians made 22.5 billion retail payment transactions in 2024, with credit and debit cards accounting for 63% of payment volume. Mobile contactless payments alone reached 3.4 billion transactions. So yes, I'm sure you could survive without the internet. So could I. But that's a completely different proposition from saying Canadians can casually sever economic and technological ties with the United States without considerable consequences. And here's the funny part: you're demonstrating the problem while arguing about it. You're using an American social-media platform, probably on an American-designed smartphone, through American-developed software and infrastructure, to announce that you don't need American technology. That's rather like standing in a Walmart yelling, “I don't need America!” while holding the microphone they gave you. Nobody is saying Canada can't stand up for itself. We absolutely can. But pretending that economic interdependence disappears because you're personally capable of reading a book by candlelight is not economic strategy. It's cosplay.

    @AmazonHelp Got an email from Amazon saying that they escalated the issue and asked me to wait for another 24 hours. What is the use of this product if it is not delivered before Raksha Bandhan? Even this morning, when I called customer care, I received the same response.

    No desktop app replaces taste, network, or luck. Tools that promise “auto virality” are usually lying. What bottleneck indie artists actually hit Most indies can already: Record and finish songs Upload via DistroKid / similar Get on Spotify, Apple, Amazon The common choke point after that is: “The song is live… now what?” They stall on: Writing posts for each platform Pitching radio / blogs without a script Tracking which song is worth pushing Keeping credits, links, and earnings in one place Doing marketing consistently instead of once and quitting That “finished music, no system” gap is real. ReleaseDesk is aimed at that gap. What this POC can help with Helps Why it matters Promo templates (social + radio)Removes blank-page paralysis“ Where to promote” list Gives a starting map Song ranking Focuses energy on the track that’s already responding Release packet Speeds DistroKid-style uploads and keeps credits straight Earnings ledger Makes money less abstract No social login required Low friction for artists who hate connecting everything For a disciplined artist, that can mean more consistent outreach and less wasted time. Consistency is one of the few levers indies actually control. What it will not fix by itself Algorithm placement or major playlist adds Paid ad skill or budget A weak song or bad mix Industry relationships Guaranteed streams or income

    The chart highlights a sharp divergence between how equity markets often perceive AI winners and how credit markets are pricing their balance-sheet risk. Oracle stands out at roughly 210 bps, more than double the chart’s severe-stress threshold, while Broadcom is also elevated at 126 bps. Meta sits around the 100 bps line, followed by Nvidia at 85 bps and Alphabet at 56 bps. Amazon is the only company shown at roughly the 50 bps boundary. This does not necessarily mean credit markets expect these companies to default. Rather, CDS spreads capture how much compensation investors demand to insure against credit deterioration, and the widening dispersion suggests that investors are becoming more sensitive to leverage, refinancing requirements, capital expenditure commitments, and the scale of AI-related spending across these companies. The more interesting implication is that the AI investment cycle is increasingly becoming a capital structure story, not just an earnings-growth story. Companies are committing enormous amounts of capital to GPUs, networking equipment, data centers, power infrastructure, and long-term capacity contracts, but their ability to finance that expansion varies significantly. A company can still have strong revenue growth and attractive AI exposure while simultaneously becoming more expensive to insure in the credit market if debt issuance and capex are rising faster than free cash flow. That is why the gap between Oracle and companies such as Amazon or Alphabet matters. Credit investors are effectively differentiating between companies that can fund the AI buildout largely through internally generated cash and those that are taking on greater financing risk to participate in the same cycle. Personal view: I think this is one of the more important signals to watch as the AI cycle matures. Equity investors tend to focus on revenue growth, AI demand, and future market share, but the CDS market is reminding us that somebody still has to finance all of this infrastructure. I would not interpret a high CDS spread as proof that an AI company is in trouble, but I would take it seriously when it rises alongside aggressive debt issuance and capex. At some point, the winners of the AI buildout may not simply be the companies spending the most, but the companies that can fund that spending without putting too much pressure on their balance sheets. $ORCL $AVGO $META

    Amazon have saved millions of dollars killing bad product ideas. Their process is called "Working Backwards". Before anything they write the launch announcement for the finished product. If the announcement is boring, the idea dies right there. I turned it into a Claude prompt to save you from launching bad products: "You are a senior product strategist trained on Amazon's Working Backwards method. Your job is strictly limited to stress-testing one initiative I describe by starting at the end. First, write the press release for the day it ships: under a page, plain English, one specific customer, their problem, what launched, why it's meaningfully better (faster, cheaper, or easier, never "innovative"), how they start using it today, and one quote that would actually get published. If any line needs a fact I didn't give you, ask me. That gap is a finding, not a blank to fill. If the press release could describe ten other products, say so and stop. Then hit it with five questions: why will they switch, what alternative does this make obsolete, what does it cost us to deliver, what do we cut to make room, what would make us kill it in 90 days. End with one verdict: build, sharpen, or dead, plus the weakest answer that decided it. If I ask for anything outside this job, tell me it sits outside your scope and stop there." Run it before you build anything you regret.

    @AmazonHelp Updating an app’s system requirements is understandable, but completely excluding a four-year-old phone from the app makes it feel like you’re forcing customers to buy a new device. And telling customers to “use the website instead” does not actually solve the problem.

    🚨 Amazon shut down rooftop solar across all 47 of its North American sites after six fires and electrical explosions in just 14 months. The first incident, at a Fresno, California fulfillment center, destroyed about 220 panels. More followed, including a two alarm blaze in Perryville, Maryland. A subsequent fleet wide inspection by Clean Energy Associates turned up one critical finding and 259 major ones. Problems included mismatched module to module connectors, improper connector installation, poor wire management, and water intrusion.

    @Dorzz316 @ThugLifeSproul When you pray for the salvation of a lost family member, what are you hoping God will do? It seems to me that you are either hoping God will change their hearts so they will believe, or that you are hoping God will increase his influence/persuasiveness sufficiently that the person will respond "freely". The first option is clearly Calvinist, and the second would be just as "unfair" if He didn't do it for everyone, and it would still violate the person's free will. After all, who could resist a persuasive God if He was really trying? And that doesn't even get to another question. Everyone at least claims to believe God is sovereign and could control things like where people are born etc. What do you do about someone that He deliberately chooses to allow to be born in the middle of the Amazon where they will live and die steeped in paganism and never hear the gospel? How can that person choose freely when they don't even know what their options are? My point here isn't that Calvinism is perfect, although I don't see any issues with it, it's that every other system that tries to get away from it not only has all the same problems but introduces new ones.
