Did you check your own source? Because I was using quarterly for both numbers, and their net sales of merchandise was over $200B (global) in 2018, meaning their net sales were almost 10X higher on products than AWS. Since it's a 10:1 m

I just want to point out how ridiculous it is to think that AWS > Selling stuff out of a warehouse in terms of revenue. Amazon does about $30B a year in selling goods, and about $7B a year in AWS. AWS does deliver higher profit margins a

The biggest issue I see is building, because builds take a long time and you don't want to stand around using the worst input imaginable (touch screen) to do nice builds. Other than that, it seems like they're making a Pokemon GO

In nearly all of those cases, the content was removed because either the uploader wanted it removed, or the owner of the intellectual property in the video wanted it removed. In both of those cases, I don't see how this is Youtube&#x27

From my experience, working with real source from the repo with comments etc is very different than working with reverse engineered binaries. That's probably what they're referring to.

If I were your landlord and you refused, I would sue for violating a no-pets clause in the lease to get a court order to allow the inspection. Or perhaps just initiate eviction proceedings for the lease violation. It is what it is.

Oh sweetie, oh no... The landlord IS the owner. They are inseparable. You cannot be pro-landlord and anti-owner, or pro-owner and anti-landlord. "I'm pro-developers but against programmers!" "I'm anti-programming, b

With a 24 hour notice (or 48), yes it is legal. They can post notice and come by merely to inspect the state of the property.

America is not authoritarian so much as "pro-ownership" The idea that the owner of a building couldn't perform maintenance as necessary is shocking!

by criley2 7y ago
This is false. It's up to state law but generally speaking landlords can enter the premises without warning in case of an emergency, and can otherwise enter the premises for nearly any reason (inspection, routine maintenance, showing p

I'm not a lawyer but in many states these liability claims go through a system which determines the % of liability for each party. A tenant illegally locking their landlord out and causing delay of several hours for a time-sensitive em

FYI for Americans, it is generally illegal to change your locks and not provide the owner (or agent aka landlord) with a copy. It's their property, not yours, and depending on state/lease they have the right to have the locks dril

The idea that we would use random natural selection for urban trees feels archaic. We don't use natural selection for our crops or livestock or much of anything any more. Urban trees will almost assuredly, like all of the other lifefor

People being condescending about books needs to stop. I'll just say it: only reading certain non-fiction has any real intellectual or health value over meditation, a walk, reading an article, etc. The rest is just entertainment and rel

Fair enough, but to bring this case up without mentioning mandatory union dues and the costs of unionization feels disingenuous. Unions very much are a middle man between labor and management, and the collective bargaining agreement that th

Socialism is communal ownership of the means of production and self-regulation of workers. This is ELEMENTARY, by the way, so your propaganda-based misinformation on the subject definitely demonstrates the low-quality of your opinion. Using
