Amazon and branding http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/26465/amazon-and-branding Tue, 30 Nov 2021 18:48:15 +0000 Vitaliy_Kiselev 26465@/talks/discussions

In 2019, Amazon told Congress it had 45 in-house brands selling approximately 158,000 products.

We found that Amazon has now registered trademarks for more than 150 private-label brands, and market research firm TJI Research estimated the number of brands developed by others but sold exclusively on Amazon.com at 598 in 2019. Some of its house brand names signal to buyers that they are part of the company—such as Amazon Basics, Amazon Essentials, and Amazon Commercial.

War: Twitter bans photos usage without special permissions http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/26464/war-twitter-bans-photos-usage-without-special-permissions Tue, 30 Nov 2021 15:26:22 +0000 Vitaliy_Kiselev 26464@/talks/discussions

"There are growing concerns about the misuse of media and information that is not available elsewhere online as a tool to harass, intimidate, and reveal the identities of individuals. Sharing personal media, such as images or videos, can potentially violate a person’s privacy, and may lead to emotional or physical harm. The misuse of private media can affect everyone, but can have a disproportionate effect on women, activists, dissidents, and members of minority communities. When we receive a report that a Tweet contains unauthorized private media, we will now take action in line with our range of enforcement options."

What is in violation of this policy?

Under our private information policy, you can’t share the following types of private information or media, without the permission of the person who it belongs to:

...

NEW: media of private individuals without the permission of the person(s) depicted.

and

"When we are notified by individuals depicted, or by an authorized representative, that they did not consent to having their private image or video shared, we will remove it. This policy is not applicable to media featuring public figures or individuals when media and accompanying Tweet text are shared in the public interest or add value to public discourse."

It is extremely bad dangerous road.

Energy: Big energy issues coming to Germany http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/26463/energy-big-energy-issues-coming-to-germany- Tue, 30 Nov 2021 12:42:33 +0000 Vitaliy_Kiselev 26463@/talks/discussions image

In just over a month, Germany will close 3 of its newest and best nuclear power plants and more than 4050 MW of electricity will disappear from northern Europe’s power grid. 4050 MW is equivalent to the average electricity consumption of all of Denmark.

It will put supply security further under pressure and them choosing to do so in the middle of winter is pretty crazy.

Not only will the 4050 MW of shut off nuclear power lead to more CO2 emissions, but it will cause much more pollution from the burning of biomass and fossil fuels. Next winter, Germany will close the last 3 nuclear power plants, also 4000 MW.

We see a slow disaster playing out with The Greens in the lead role as the crazy villain, hell-bent in their eagerness to wipe out life and prosperity.
