Really? You sound like a snopes advertisement. I believe the most generous glass bottle return is 10c, can return 5c, and that would be down at a recycling center. A six pack of crap beer is $5, meaning you would need to buy 50 bottles or 1

You don't need to tap dark fiber for this to be poor security. They were passing all internal data around in clear text. It would have been trivial for any data center employee to gain significant amounts of open data this way. Why wou

No, but they should take some precaution if someone unseemly (rogue employee, hacker, etc) has network access. You don't need a NSA level fiber taps under the ocean to do packet sniffing. Passing all of their service calls, database re

Suffering? I don't think that word means what you think it means.

What is the point? If they can tap the cables it seems like owning your own just causes a false sense of security.

No, its a glorified insurance application system. The most complex piece is that they try to use your real info (taxes, etc) to calculate subsidies before presenting the pre-canned policies available in your ZIP code. Then you can fill out

It definitely felt out of place and tacked on at the end. Strange decision, but I guess he felt he needed some way to drive views/sales for a man profiled a million times already.

Microsoft and their partners have been trying to sell to that niche PC-Tablet market since before the iPad was a thing. That market has been proven by multiple players to not exist, or at least not be big enough to invest hundreds of millio

Lets see, it has less durability, unknown reliability (new company), and is housed in only two data centers in one region. So that means two of your three replicas are probably sitting on a rack right next to each other. I can't imagin

Its generally the opposite, the phone interviews are the sanity check.

The pay gap is probably because you did not pass the bar at the same "level" you were at in your old company, meaning Amazon was bringing you in at a demotion essentially.

You should use some of your middle class income to take some courses in probability and statistics.

But then wouldn't that be a "technical interview" and therefore bad?

What would it matter? Does the extra lead time make it somehow easier to crush a protest (since we are assuming a tyrannical government). I am pretty sure you could get drones airborne and shooting missiles at protesters pretty quickly with

So those who can only add little marginal value shouldn't get a break or be allowed to stay home when sick for a couple of days? Like it or not we have an enormous population of working age people and, as the chart shows, only about the 40t

Considering those jobs all get paid vacation, you are missing the point entirely. It is the some-high-school educated, sick guy at Subway that they are talking about. Seattle (just the city) recently mandated 3-days sick leave for all emplo

Amazon was never in a high rise until maybe 2008, even then it was a few floors in one building with most everyone else in little buildings elsewhere.

You have 40+ years of working for the man, why start so early? Getting a CS degree is fun if you like CS and are good at it. Drinking beer and hanging out with friends at all hours for 4 years are much better than working as a code monkey s

how else are you going to use the youtube comments as they are meant to be? I can't make half-witted, nonsensical, semi-racist comments if they are linked to my own name!
