I think something similar is already being done- http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/ilink/docView/PUBLA...

Reminds me of the submission https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=557191 where we could see pg's thought process in writing the Founders Visa essay. (the link no longer works)

The OP also mentions this, and has a link to a working copy: https://code.stypi.com/hacks/13sentences

Second the Timer comment. For me, something as simple as the Pomodoro http://tomato-timer.com/# is really helpful.

Would be interesting to see how well they can scale. Have used them three times with quite a range of difference in the quality of cleanings. (A couple more times the cleaner just didn't show up) Judging by their recent hourly rate increase, they seem to be confident at where they are at...

Selection. The brands we are used to is not always offered @ Costco. However, it seems to be much easier to subsidize membership costs with Costco, than with Amazon Prime.

There isn't that much variation in diaper and formula across brands...

In diapers? Yes, there is.

As for Formula? You can't just change to whatever is cheapest that week.

Meaningful change in diapers? Not really.

Then stock up, and seriously? Their shelf stocking doesn't work that way. Any SKU ordered (other than food stuffs and specialty seasonals) are stocked for, at least, one month in any given location before long term stocking is decided on

> Meaningful change in diapers? Not really.

My experience is otherwise. Maybe in your experience through multiple brands is that they are all the same, but your experience is equally limited.

The simple fact that my experience says otherwise, however, does disprove yours.

> Then stock up

On diapers?

I can't believe you have children and would "stock up" on diapers. Kids grow.

I agree. Items are no longer, consistently cheaper. (ex:Horizon 8oz Milk packs, are at least 2x more than our local grocery stores.) Even their Subscribe and Save program changed to introduce a 5 item minimum. Seems like, they are finally able to charge a (small)premium for the 'Amazon Shopping Experience'.

Surprised that this is not happening quick enough. I know namecheap.com did this very well, with GoDaddy negative press a few years ago.

The pixar short http://www.pixar.com/short_films/Theatrical-Shorts/The-Blue-... is a good example...

Do space probes count? http://history.nasa.gov/computers/Ch6-2.html

These (or even participating, regular grocery stores) could also have 'Amazon Lockers'...
