That's an excellent question, and honestly, I am not sure. I know we have been asked to send invoices not attached to a customer order AND only one listing was taken down (as opposed to the entire brand), so perhaps it's all suppliers that have contributed qty to that pick location go through a similar different workflow? While I know they have the audit info to do this, I am ultimately guessing on this scenario.

A little behind the scenes info, I work for a pretty good sized seller on Amazon. If a customer who purchased an item reports it as counterfeit

* All items we sell of that brand are taken down

* We are required to email a copy of an invoice of between us and that vendor. I think there is a date requirement here also

* We are not permitted to ship comingled FBA shipments for that brand until resolved

If the manufacturer is participating in the counterfeit program, they can whitelist sellers who are permitted to sell their goods and avoid the above.

Anyone else here from HN at the open stack summit in Atlanta?

While I know plenty of companies do not respond how I feel they should to vulnerabilities, reading that story I don't see any cited anger from United Airlines.

Am I missing part of the story?

Maybe it's just me but after watching the video I don't understand what the game play is.

I saw what I think was a combining and separating spheres mechanic but past that it wasn't clear to me.

On a positive note, I did like the music.

The article has some user comments I found relevant I don't see pointed out here.

"That change was actually made a year ago. The only change on that page is the positioning of the video. The actual text has not changed in over a year."-Barry Schwartz

AND

"The article is also incredibly wrong about the previous change. Google did't add the "almost" last year (2012) but TEN years ago, in 2003, as you can see with Archive.org: http://web.archive.org/web/20030915000000*/http://www.google... -LowLevel

I thought that may be the case but reading about synchronous communication through the queue and a desire to keep the architecture simple with a single api was causing me doubt.

While I understand why, I still find it a bit funny seeing Windows screenshots on a Linux porting pdf.

Perhaps I am not following 100%, but I believe we have done this without this issue for years with google apps.

We have one primary domain and 15 alias domains. Email Example: [email protected] gets an email, when they reply it stays set to the alias, it doesn't change to the primary domain.
