Allowing a criminal to live in your house puts the whole family at risk. What if he does something that prompts the police to SWAT him, and by extension you? And then there is asset forfeiture; people have lost their homes because their a

I'm not saying you're wrong, but how would you go about implementing client-side search for Amazon? (inb4 "server-side amazon search doesn't work anyway" ;)

> how does the woman in the hackerspace perceive what a given person conforms to? Stereotypes, basically. Visuals/fashion play a very large role, as you can see in those google queries. How they interact with others also is a facto

"Dude" is used when the man has not made an attempt to signal to others that he is different from everybody else by altering his appearance or habits. For instance, if a man tells his barber "just a regular cut" , he ma

How about representative democracy, where those representatives tend to be connected or rich enough to be shielded from any negative ramifications of how they vote?

It is a great deal of disconnect. You can't just make a veblen good by slapping an outrageous pricetag on shit. It has to at least pretend to be a quality product. If the world worked like that, then you could open a hotdog shop,

Kindle worked out right out of the gate. They dramatically underestimated the demand for the first Kindle. Certainly that first iteration looks like shit compared to modern iterations, but why would you expect otherwise? Arguably Bezos&#

Why would I put up with waiting for collective action to work, if I can improve my lot in life by simply changing companies? I'm not going to stick around at the company just to help out my coworkers. I feel zero loyalty to them.

I don't think a union would solve this . I'd sooner quit a shitty job than stay in it, and hope the union makes it better for me. Much faster turnaround when I take matters into my own hand. If this were the sort of industry whe

From my experience, AWS is one of the more egregious offenders when it comes to overworking workers. The joke, when I was there, was that if you work in Kindle you don't have oncall, but you'll put in 80 hours a week anyway. If

No, the no-AC thing is old news, from when they were still mostly selling books. Books don't really mind the heat, so Amazon didn't give a shit. Now that their warehouses have a bunch of other shit in them too, to my knowledge, t

Amazon treats SDETs much nicer in my experience. I can't really say why or how that is, but that's my experience. They seem to be shielded from the bulk of company politics, and don't seem to be common targets for throwing

A great deal of their selection would be considered worthless trash by a great deal of their customers. Lots of direct-to-dvd stuff, sequels to sequels of childrens' movies, etc. I suspect this is the reason they obscure the full cont

Stolen water is conceptually distinct from wasted water. People who use hydrants without paying for them are technically stealing that water, but they are not "wasting" it in any sense that actually matters to New York. Unlike in
