The purpose of the monitoring is to prevent data theft, and is specifically for customer service associates. Customer service associates have access to sensitive customer data that even management or IT employees do not have.

LinkedIn is definitely higher (dunno about GitHub), but in almost every discussion I've seen about comps, LinkedIn is always talked about separately from MS. On levels.fyi, for example, LinkedIn is in it's own section separate fro

Amazon is lower than Google, FB, and Netflix, but still quite a bit higher than MS. According to levels.fyi for engineers all at the same level (~5ish YOE): - MS: $185k - Amazon: $230k - Google: $267k

Apple is part of this society, and has a responsibility (not to mention a direct interest) in helping to solve, or at the very least to not make worse, its society's problems. The same goes for you, by the way.

I read this, and my first thought was "what are they supposed to do? buy houses for all these people? Yea, Apple could afford it, but then they'll be sending the message that if you want Apple to buy you a house, all you have to d

It doesn't seem like they ignore it. Sailors might be a decent analogue for astronauts while isolated within a space vessel, but that's not what this experiment is. NASA wants to research the environment while on a Martian surface

I mentioned it in my earlier comment but in my experience it really comes down to continued funding and not "half assing" efforts. The successful homeless shelter I mentioned earlier is not a revolutionary shelter that is doing va

I dunno the last time you went and visited a homeless encampment in the US, but many of them do indeed have showers and internet, too (sometimes provided by the government, other times just because these tent cities are legitimate cities).

Do yourself a favor and don't make assumptions about me. I've volunteered at homeless shelters before. At a previous company, I was in charge of working directly with a homeless shelter to organize volunteer events for my colleagu

>Homeless shelter's don't help, they're ridiculously dangerous to be in. Then solve this problem. The problem I constantly see with homelessness in America is that municipalities constantly half ass every attempt to fix it
74.
by awsthro00945 5y ago
That still leaves the same question, though. In the US, many municipalities designate certain areas as government-sanctioned camping grounds where "economic refugees" can stay while they don't have a permanent place to live.

No, the linked article specifically states that union literature is not given any special treatment, at all. Companies can indeed restrict it from being spread, even in break rooms, if: 1) not spreading materials in the break room is necess

How do you know that's what happened here? The OP linked article does not contain such information.

by awsthro00945 5y ago
Ironic, because the comment you are replying to is completely wrong. Labor laws are stupidly complicated and a single one liner from an HN comment is almost guaranteed to be wrong in some way. You shouldn't believe anything you read in

In this particular example, it's not a false equivalence at all. The NLRB specifically does not give special protection to union literature. As long as the employer treats all literature equally (such as soccer literature, harry pott

I have no clue why you're being downvoted (and I'm being downvoted now too, lol). If you hit a rock in the road, or a pothole, or a tree, it is covered under collision insurance. For posterity: https://www.investopedia.

The problem is that during the sales process, the client is led to believe that the "mutually-satisfactory state" that they are paying for is a certain bar of quality and will be built by "the A team". But then, after ma
