Having worked in an Amazon warehouse (as a contractor, but my wife was a direct Amazon employee in the same warehouse at a time), I can tell you that if they had any severe weather plans, none of the employees were aware of them. By "e

Unfortunately, this will cost Amazon significantly less than if they were to... you know... have well-constructed buildings, and severe weather plans, etc. Businesses are responsible for the physical welfare of their employees when they req

If someone has contractually agreed to pay a certain amount if an event happens, and that event happens, then yes, that person has to pay that amount if that event happens.

You're forgetting a step in your "reasonable approach". How do you expect a user to know whether or not they should grant access for HN.exe to talk to 127.0.0.1 or for mikewarot.exe to access some file? The reality is the sor

Not so sure about the consent forms. I started seeing a new doctor back around 2019. The first time I went we did have to spend ~15 minutes per person answering questions on a tablet. But since then we can either check in on our phone - log

Speaking of Steam and OTPs... enforced OTPs. In order to sell crap I get out of CSGO crates, or even to give gifts to friends on Steam, you have to be enrolled in "Steam Guard". Which is their (of course proprietary) OTP - which

Indeed, she did copy this story directly from an anonymous poster on Reddit, other than making up some details that don't even make sense given the rest of her story. And yet people still believe her.

Sure, and then they made sure it couldn't connect so that it didn't wipe itself, but somehow it still connected to send security alerts to her and manipulate her Gmail account. Stop making excuses for her. Take a moment to think c

People lie about this kind of stuff all the time. Every day. And no, there's usually no penalty for it because proving that something didn't happen is even more difficult than proving that something did happen. And even when the p

It's clear you have never heard of "innocent until proven guilty", so I'll explain it to you. You're actually supposed to believe the person accused until they've been proven guilty. Victims making up stories

Or, you know, her story just makes absolutely no sense and is clearly non-factual. And if it were real she should be telling her story to a judge, not to Twitter. The assumption that anything a(n attractive) woman says is true is the real

Okay, and? Again, they both display the same content, and edits made to either one affect the other. I don't know why you think it's relevant that there are (supposedly) "functional differences", sockpuppet.

Reddit used to be amazing. "Just pick a username and password. Give us your email if you want to be able to do a password reset." Now an email (with verification) is required and you'll still get insta-shadow-banned.
