It is not static, hence why it is linked to being a level of trust. While this can happen in the US, its rare to happen at the federal level without some sort of check/balance. On the other side, arbitrary application of law is the rou

Nobody is saying not to use these technologies. We are just trying to figure out as a society what the boundaries are for behavior being OK or being rude. Its kind of like bluetooth headsets or google glass, both of which were questionable

You are also probably not a senior leader at a major tech company. This guy isn't some random junior developer.

Both examples in the article would be discriminatory and are against the EEOC and as such would be lawsuit worthy. If they are unable to bring a suit then it likely means the facts are not really in their favor. One person claims to have em

Its ridiculous claims because both of them are easy, enormous lawsuits if true. The fact that these people never sued for these claims makes it more likely this is exaggerated like a lot of the rest of the article.

What on earth are you even talking about? Most people at Amazon I know use IntelliJ or vim, its their choice. The languages teams use are also that teams choice. The whole company uses git. I don't think you ever worked there...

Probably some kind of production canary or integration test in their deployments.

If cumulative happiness over your life is the goal then the first one is clearly the wrong approach. The probability that you will die/become incapacitated/have health issues before you can either build up or enjoy for a long peri

People who are studying that much for the interview are never going to make it at those companies even if they "pass" the interview. They will be managed out in a year or so since weeks of studying to produce actual work isn'

I can tell why it failed just from that document capture they posted. Does that look like the kind of document that a CEO who knows what he is doing and is able to turn something into a billion dollar company would be producing for his exec

AWS and competitors are very capital intensive businesses. While the software might be easy-ish to replicate with a medium sized software team, the capital required to set up and then run dozens to hundreds of packed data centers is prohibi

Parking is subsidized for monthly parkers or is expensed for those who random park and pay $20-30 a day (at off site lots, it is in the middle of the city after all). You are right, they do not invest in coffee machines or desks, who cares?

I have no idea where you worked in Amazon, I am guessing you did not. Having worked there for years in software, there were exactly ZERO technical managers I met that were not either previous software engineers or technical project managers

Think about it this way: Apple makes profit and stores it away as cash (recently it has given some of that cash back as dividends though). Since its cash, its booked as profit. Amazon makes profit and immediately finances new warehouses&#x2

When is Google going to start innovating again instead of just copying other big tech companies? They are the new Microsoft it seems like, cash cow being spent on also-rans.

Care to cite some of this evidence? I was just reading about this and found zero evidence its somehow harmful and only anecdotal evidence that it is not beneficial and "evens out" later.

The main compelling feature is that nobody uses Google Apps.

More likely, you will just see the proportion of foreign students increase dramatically. College these days is already mostly made up of semi-rich kids from America and actually-rich kids from China. With loans at least some middle class Am

Both were point mistakes, which I think anyone would agree are bad but just huge mistakes. Running what is effectively a bank that loses $400m over the course of a couple of years in a constant bleed is not a mistake, it is negligent.

The article is suspicious as an Amazon employee. The recruiter would never talk offer in the final interview, there is at least a day+ afterwards before feedback is submitted by the interviewers and they meet to discuss the candidate. Only

The lunch interview is supposed to be mild and mostly for selling on Amazon and the team (e.g. you talking). Trying to do a real interview where you drill in is a mistake some people make. You are there to have lunch and make sure the candi

Probably because that number is actually less or equivalent, otherwise I am guessing they would have published the number. I would posit that most people find books not through stores, online or physical, but through friends/family rec
