I feel like there is some selection bias there - you certainly aren't going to be interviewing very many people who are happy with their current job at Amazon.

But even if the state and city come out ahead, they could have benefited even more if cities weren't allowed to compete for these types of contracts - without these tax breaks, Amazon would still have to build a headquarters, and a sim

I think the difference is that it isn't a person bidding on the Amazon HQ, it is a city, and IMO, cities in the same country shouldn't be competing with eachother for business. Amazon has to put a headquarters somewhere in the US,

It seems counterproductive to attack the transportation infrastructure for oil, rather than the users or producers of oil. Would the "pipeline vandals" rather oil be transported by truck or train? I'm pretty sure the numbers

I agree that the President as the right to move on to the next question, I was more wondering why people seemed to be focusing on this "confrontation" when, to me, it seemed like nothing of consequence actually happened. It just d

Why is this even being talked about? The intern grabbed the microphone, he pushed her arm out of the way, it doesn't really seem like a big issue at all. Even in the gif it looks pretty minor.

There are much easier ways of finding out whether or not someone is home than looking up if they are going to be voting. Just find out if everyone living there has a 9-5 job, for example.

I think the biggest issue is that the whole process of getting on the bus is terrible. I took a Greyhound from New York, and it was just a disorganized mess the entire time. I waited in a line for over something like 45 minutes to get my lu

Smart decision to change his name, surprised more criminals don't do that once they are released.

It sounds like it isn't designed to be permanent: "'This is an interim solution to cover the loss of Greyhound while we work with communities,' said Transportation Minister Claire Trevena, who said B.C. Transit would be

Couldn't you use JWT's with both an access token and a refresh token? The access token can have a fairly short expiry time, after which you hit the auth service with the refresh token, at which point you can handle any token inval

Sounds like you have spent too much time watching the news, and not enough time out in the real world

I have the same issue with button resizing on my 4k monitor, I think it would work better if just the button resized, not the text, since the spacing between the letters bounces around when the text resizes.

I meant more that you don't feel like you are suffocating when you are inhaling helium, so it can be hard to realize something is going wrong until it is too late. Definitely easier to suffocate with heavier-than-air gasses though.

Yea, that sounds incredibly dangerous considering how easily you can suffocate inhaling helium

Isn't that just reductio ad absurdum? Of course Nickelodeon shouldn't be run by kids, but there can be a benefit to having leadership that can empathize and understand your customer base better.

The morgage payments don't change with the house price though, right? People couldn't afford to pay their morgage because they got more house than they could afford initially. But yeah being stuck in the same house because it lost

You disagree with the claim that most people don't change homes very often? The average time someone owns the same home is over 5 years. I mean I get the argument that, if you loose your job and sell your house it would be bad. But for

Whats the issue with your home not being worth the debt you took on? Obviously it isn't great to have an asset like that loose value, but most people don't change homes very often, so the value of the home shouldn't have much

Most people aren't trying to minimize their transportation costs though, in the same way that people aren't trying to minimize their housing costs when buying a house. People get the nicest car, and biggest house, that they can af

Google already has an office in Kitchener/Waterloo (which they are expanding, afaik), and Toronto, so I don't think they would want to build an office in Hamilton, since it is pretty much right in the middle of those two offices.

Wasn't that also the case historically though? Rent control has been around for a while.

Is it not reasonable to ask for a study to include both men and women? At the very least it would be good as a point of comparison - if 20% of men also experience some type of harassment, the approach to solving the problem would likely be

The ban on misinformation is only on information regarding how you can vote, which seems reasonable since it is something that can be fairly easily fact-checked - either you can vote over mail, or you can't, there isn't an in-betw

Just because something is bad, doesn't mean it is a problem. Murder is bad, but isn't a problem in most US cities since it doesn't happen that often. I don't think swatting happens enough to be considered a serious probl

If it is only one or two incidents per person, and only 20% of women experience it, I don't think it is very surprising that you wouldn't see it.

I think most people would consider it racist if someone said that they don't want to be mayor of a town that's all old black people. If race determines whether or not you would like to govern a particular area, I think that is rac

I've only used Azure for a little while, but it just seems way to slow compared to AWS. It takes forever to spin up and shut down a server, or reconfigure something, and the website in general just feels slow. The AWS portal is less pr

Well your initial point was that people will put up with Canada's cold winters to avoid having their spouse deported. I don't think that is a realistic scenario (and if your spouse is an illegal immigrant, I seriously doubt Canada

I feel like the number of tech people who legitimately worry about their spouse being deported is extremely small. And it's only two years until the next election anyways.
