That was back in July. I'm genuinely curious to know how many of those employees that showed solidarity are still employed by Amazon today?

Aside from being able to use your phone at night without blinding your partner, another positive aspect of dark mode is the battery savings with OLED displays. Because the blacks on OLEDs are not emitting light, some simple text on a page s

I would have borrowed "/.,/.," a long time ago had I heard about it sooner. That is just way too convenient.

I see this sentiment echoed a few times in this discussion thread. I use JSON daily, parsing and serializing everywhere, and yet I've never been in a scenario where I needed to parse a very large JSON object on the client side. The big

I believe he is referring to the 'PRISM' program that the NSA used.

I just assumed that Apple exposed some API functionality in Webkit that allowed more efficient low-level usage of the GPU hardware. This leads me to believe that adoption of the WebGPU technology will probably fail to break out of the Apple

>11 Pro Max 512GB - $1449 For my fellow Canadians, this is $1,905 CAD before taxes, and about $2,152 after taxes. I think this is the first time I've seen a phone go over $2K, at least in my neck of the woods.

It was widely believed for literally years until the Senate Judiciary and Commerce committee hearing in 2018 where Zuck called it a 'conspiracy theory'. Since then it has been dismissed as such. My question is - if I personally ob

I agree if you're talking strictly about salaried employees, because you don't get paid for that overtime work. But as a contract developer if I want to work 60 hours each week, instead of 40, to earn an extra 50% when I invoice t

In my experience, putting CD into place makes a significant improvement to the SDLC only when automated unit tests are a part of that life cycle. I have never seen the benefit of implementing a system like Jenkins if the only automated test

Well, in this specific context it is because the police's request is not for the neighbor to provide access to the other's Ring camera footage, it is a request to provide access to that individual's own Ring camera footage. A

Isn't Ring owned by Amazon, not Google?

by adossi 7y ago
So the police requests access to the footage for a specific time, the homeowner has to agree to it, and then Amazon/Ring hands it over? If the homeowner declines, then the neighbor agrees, the police can still (most likely) see what th

My brother has an Amazon store. He pulled in about $400,000 in sales last year and saw a profit of close to $200,000 doing exactly what you stated (buying wholesale, boxing it up and sending it to Amazon). Huge margins, I know. However he d

2.5 seems a little excessive. By that math someone making $100,000 a year salary should be earning $150.00 per hour contract. $150.00 per hour contract at 40 hours a week is about $312,000 a year. You're right about not being able to m

Sounds like their automatic compression functionality on their CDN isn't exactly working the way its supposed to. I know AWS Cloudflare has something like this that I use in conjunction with saving website images on S3.

When you compare cost of living in downtown Toronto to the average developer wage there, it is pretty grim. You can make the same amount or more outside of Toronto (Mississauga/Oakville/Hamilton/etc.) while the cost of living

What about for the newer processors like the 9980XE, 9900K, etc.? I would have assumed that Intel's latest processors have some additional engineering in place to mitigate the spectre/meltdown performance impacts.

Can you give some examples of these 'favorite websites'? I'm interested in knowing what kind of website would be so interesting that I would want an entire offline copy of it. (Besides maybe Wikipedia)
