Amazon does not deploy changes during times that they feel can be customer impacting. For North America this means that deployments will be during the night.

I remember being a kid, and playing that game at a local pizza place. It was the only game that ever gave me nightmares. The voice was just so evil :)

But we can look to states like Washington - where there were 2 votes - 3 years apart on gay unions. One established domestic partnerships with all the state-granted rights and responsibilities of marriage. The other legalized same sex ma

I agree with this. I went to a strong American school, and if I look at the co-ops/interns/fresh grads I see from my Alma mater and those that have come from Waterloo, on a lot of areas they're pretty much on par (Comp Sci f

That's not really accurate. 4 are usually college hires, at 5, other job families can split off. Engineers, Managers, TPMs, Product managers, etc. they're all in parallel. So you have Level 4,5,6,7 and higher engineers as well.

Try again later. Really - each interview loop has different people who look at different things. Just because one set passed on you doesn't mean that another will. If Amazon seems like a place you'd like to work, there's

The standard deduction for a single filer is "only" $6,100. It doesn't take a very large mortgage to combine with real estate taxes and other potential deductions (State Income tax/Sales Tax) to move you out of the standard deduction categ

I wouldn't say they taste the same - there's an overlap area with some where there would be confusion. But there will be whites that are simply not likely to be confused with reds, and vice versa. Though if you handed a white wine from t

It's a pretty major part though. The study that I remember reading was done in Australia with white wines that had been aged for 5 years with different closures(though in the same environment). The sensory results did indicate that the

Synthetic cork has been shown not to be as 'good' as the natural type for certain cases. For one reason or another it either lets too much Oxygen through causing the wine oxidize too fast, or not enough causing wines to age slowly. Wines t

Wow... that's the exact opposite of what I like to see. I want to see a thought process -- not someone throwing together code to get something there. When I've seen people like that get hired dealing with their code long term is painful.

If you're looking at it full time, then yes, but my partner just finished her part time AA in WA, and the peak we had for tuition/fees/books in any one year (she did it in a little over 3 years) was $2100 (the link you had shows the maximum

The turn by turn could heavily integrated with the Siri functionality, which is only on the 4S. Total guess but it seems to make some sense.

No, they're not influenced by blogs, but they are influenced by family members/other adults telling them, "Oh no, you don't want to play with that, that's for boys." Some of us were lucky to have had parents that had no problem with us ha

Apparently there was a change to (or at least a change in the interpretation of) the law - I got the same email. Also found it mentioned here: http://www.geekwire.com/2012/amazon-web-services-collect-sal...

That's not quite true - as shown in your link, gatekeeper's default (at least for now :) is to allow App Store as well as Signed Applications. If a developer is willing to get their application signed, then end users will still be able to

It could stop people from switching though - I didn't see the "right" link when I went there - I just skipped past the yellow box like many people. That led me to get a feeling that the results weren't very good. It wasn't until I read the

I've been called a bitch to my face during architectural debates. I've had responses to my technical comments come back as "whatever, sudo make me a sandwich". Been asked while doing interviews, "Oh wait you're not HR?" I've gone to many p

I don't have a problem with paper - I just feel like it would work against a candidate - not because "Oh...they used paper", but because some of the things that I think are signs of a good candidate don't show through. I've never interviewe

The natural posture, position, and size of writing on paper discourages that. It's also essentially impossible for me to step in and point to/mark up their code (and then erase it). The paper takes away any of the collaboration that can o

As an interviewer, I'd much rather see your intermediate steps - the messy parts, etc. I feel like I can get a better idea about how you work and think. Interview questions (for me) aren't about "can you solve this" they're more about tr

It's likely because of the way the Amazon FPS API works. You can set it up to pay directly to a third party while keeping a cut for yourself. That way Kickstarter doesn't have to act as an intermediary that collects the money and pays the

I don't think I've ever worked in an environment where that's been something that happens all the time. Maybe occasionally being with someone while they try to sort out a bug. But actually creating new code with someone sitting there - th

When did Amazon ever claim to offer one year? The initial announcement of it was one month of free prime ( http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2011/09/amazon/ ). If your LCD is defective, contact Amazon and they will take care of it - that's wh

I think it makes sense to encourage women to consider doing a start up - yes for some women raising a family is the fulfillment that they want. But for those that do want to focus on a career, it's very possible to feel left out. Althou

I was surprised that they list 32665 with their trademarks (I had to search to figure out that was the FBOOK SMS short code). Can you trademark a number? I thought that's why Intel ended up with the "Pentium" instead of "586".

For me, the UI performance is the single biggest reason why I don't use Android as my primary phone. No matter how fast the underlying action is, the jumpiness and occasional lagginess makes it feel slow to me. It frustrates me - there's

It is to some people - I know I'd be bothered by it. Mostly due to my own insecurities. I'd wonder "Why?", and wonder what I'm not doing that he wants. For some it might been seen as a light form of cheating. I think that it's a sensitiv
