Debatable, maybe some people like new grads would prefer it that way but a lot of these people already had experience and jobs before showing up at Amazon. Some may have moved, others turned down other offers, 6-12 months of 20% extra pay d

This does not back up the original claim in the slightest which was obviously a grotesque exaggeration. Please refrain from hyperbole and sarcasm - it damages the quality of the conversation.

Go to Israel and say that. It is a feature but it is not unique. The US is a target for a variety of reasons. While a more mundane cause is likely, the implications of an attack are significant thus it would be unwise scoff this concern off

I think they meant Apple. You could also add HP to the list and a slew of others like Abobe.

21st century collage tool? While advocating for the illegalization of collages seems a bit of a stretch, I’m curious how true this is. The LAION B dataset is something like 100 TB and stable diffusion is about 10 GB so there is a factor of

If it weren't for the arbitration clause you could sue for damages. Of course Airbnb could also sue the scammer but they seem to not care about the damage this this does to their customers or their brand.

I doubt people would make these booking if they were fully aware of the risks. The fact that the product exposes its customers to glaring risks should be a serious issue and it is upsetting that the company is just throwing up their hands a

There is also the fact that hosts can take down negative reviews for a variety of dubious reasons. The fault here is entirely with Airbnb. The reviews are the only real information that you can use before booking (and yes you can discuss ov

That's cold. I once had one (managed by a large vacation rental company) where the hot tub was busted. Of course they knew about this prior to our arrival, but instead we had to find out the hard way after an 8 hour drive. Of course th

This sounds about right. I once had an experience just like yours where they did a switch up the day I landed for a month long stay. Or the several times that half the features don't work properly (like no wifi, or the 'kitchen&#x

How much pay is given for this? This doesn't really give the desired effect unless the payout amount is guaranteed to be a substantial portion of salary. If a company can just pay $1/year for a non-compete then it is as good as no

I’m glad you pointed this out since this is not clear in the web site.

A lot of the macrolevel complaints about Airbnb are trotted out because customers had shitty experiences. I still bring up their douchey bus ads in sf bragging about finally paying their taxes after years of dodging then not because that ca

No, home ownership in America is ~65%. You need to pay taxes to support the infrastructure and you need to pay the bank to service your mortgage, but both are proscribed by a clear and largely static legal framework that does not infringe u

Nice. Shameless plug, but I once did something like this with a Sierpinski triangle back in the day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72FmQAfQv1E When you start to think about it, there are really a lot of different ways you

It’s a preference for choosing simpler more common words and expressions. This makes writing easier to understand for more people, but perhaps more importantly it prevents the writer from using some bizarre circumlocution in an attempt to s

It's important to understand this in the context of the cultural and political fights of the American academy as well. Feyerabend's position is very reasonable, but the straw-man treatment went both ways. It also played to the bia

The static charges necessarily come in pairs so the dust is charged both positive and negative, but the surface also gets charged as dust hits it so trying to blow it off does not necessarily work in the long term. Static dust is a real pai

I would suspect that the problem is more difficult than you make it out to be. First, Mars is very windy/dusty. Second, there is no water so brushing dust is harder than on earth. Add in the increased static cling and dust ingress into

Practically speaking not really. The official mission is something like ‘empower people to build communities and make the world more open’. It’s a pretty nice goal and you really have to be trying to find an objection to it that doesn’t com

Revenue is not profit. It costs money to serve content. The EU has a 1.5x population of NA so that means it is only a third the revenue per user. The third segment has 6x population of NA so the revenue per user is only ~8% of a NA user and
