      Changes are made step by step with extensive off-site pilot testing. The FCs are also modular so they scale nicely. Moreover, only some FCs have the latest infrastructure.

    This was extremely enlightening. It's really interesting that a randomized system is more effective than a systematic approach. I doubt it's true, since it's an optimization problem, but I guess when you compete with noise in a system I guess it can sometimes be just as well to do it that way, until you find a system that actually beats the noise or the randomness in a system. That is to say, that the probability of getting the right stack order is higher than it is while performing a random stacking or storage act.

    Using just my history of orders half was either not really needed and forgotten is some drawer. Of the 1/2 I actually needed/wanted 1/2 of that was "wow this is cheap." Of that 1/2 broke, had issues, not what I expected and joined the other junk in some drawer. Of the original 1/2, within 6 months I realized I could have lived without it. The only things I actually have a real use for eventually were the boxes all this stuff came in so I can put more stuff in them.

      I mean, they use a recycled paper for their boxes so as long as you recycle your trash things are good. Sending someone to take the boxes back wouldn't be worth the cost and ecological impact. An interesting option would be box-less packaging. In our country (Czechia) the most popular online store has thousands of self-service mailboxes throughout cities, where, upon entering the PIN code of your order a locked shelve will unlock and you can take your items that are not packaged in any box. It is also quite convenient as I can pick it up whenever I have time as in Europe the delivery people can't leave your order in front of your doors, and if you happen not to be at your place, then they try to deliver it to us the next day.

    Yall should have kept me around to help with your AI systems.
    Instead you wanted me to be a picker forever.
    So I went somewhere I'm appreciated.

    I'll start by saying that I really appreciate every single hard working person that works in these warehouses and delivery. I look for products on Amazon that are not made in China so American businesses can be supported, there a lot of businesses on there just it takes longer to find them. Amazon the corporation is awful though for everything, from non durable, disposable, hazardous chemical containing Chinese products that clog landfills, to Indian based horrible customer service, and loopholes so they don't contribute any thing with taxes. All the environmental & health costs paid by employees, customers, while local businesses suffer and the huge corporations profit.

      Amazon's ecommerce site is nothing without China because 97% of its goods are made in China. Check the product reviews and see for yourself. Plus its very hard not to buy anything made in China. Look around your home.
      As a non-Chinese, I think we should appreciate China for its contribution to the world regardless how the American govt tries to paint its competition.
      Yet they are quick to copy their moves, inventions and ideas.

    All things are not Machin learning, something you can archive directly on the basis of conditions.
