Lots of vendors set their prices algorithmically… So like when competitors raise their prices or demand seems high for some reason or something, the price will auto-adjust to theoretically maximize profits. The algorithms are often pretty dumb.
So sometimes when you see something like this, you’re witnessing a dynamic pricing algorithm spiraling out of control because it wasn’t implemented very well, and nobody’s paying attention.
I was wondering that too. Not arguing or denying, just not sure what they’re referring to.
Once you figure out the iframes it’s actually pretty easy.
Whoa do “percent” and “percentage points” actually refer to different things?
Not. Even. Once.
Taskmistress** thank you very much 💅
It’s like the difference between wandering over to your local coffee shop, vs. popping in.
PSA: Inkscape is good now!
How is your network handling telemetry shenanigans?
No, no, you’re thinking of a manifold. A manosphere is an orb that keeps track of how much spellcasting energy you have left, next to your healthsphere.
Also MMA doesn’t have anything to do with being staged.
Lol I went through the exact same process.
It’s an algorithm that records its progress and any errors to a text file.
It’s getting so hard to find outrelevant results these days.
Kids today something something attention spans what with the social media grumble grumble back when I was that age, dammit.
I interpreted “it” in the post title as referring to Linux. Firefox is “just a browser,” but Linux is not.
Oh interesting-- Yeah gaming the recommendation/search algorithms is another, related explanation. Like I know someone with an Etsy store who says that various things, like running out of stock or putting your store in “vacation mode” will hurt your store’s visibility, so people find ways to game it. Totally makes sense that the same kind of thing would be going on on Amazon.
Weird that they’d allocate ad spend at the same time that they were out of stock, but like I said, the algorithms are pretty coarse and probably just not that coordinated.
