You'll be fine. Amazon didn't become the company it is today by burning out hardworking and talented engineers for no reason. In the scenario I am referring to, the engineer did a very poor job of communication and receiving feedb

I enjoyed my team and the work hours were reasonable. AWS wasn't the type of product work I wanted to keep pursing, but I learned a lot in my time there. Amazon team's culture vary widely depending on the teams budget, management

I wonder if Amazon’s theory here is that by offering multi-cloud support they can put decision makers at ease when choosing cloud vendors by making them feel like they’re not getting locked into AWS - but Amazon also expects most customers

There’s a sleight of hand going on here. Apple is saying that most developer teams make under $1M so this will help them (which is true and great for those teams!). I’m sure most make $0 But what is being missed is that the majority of pur

This product-despite how little maintenance it has received over the years-has performed wonderfully. The $69 spent four a high quality tool that helps me work more efficiently has been money well spent. The fact that this app has needed so

Is it possible they are saying that you can’t uniquely identify a person in the population at large based on palm, but you can in a smaller population of people such as registered Amazon go users or ticket holders for a venue? On an iPhone,

Interesting. I remember Birkenstock’s very publicaly left amazon a few years ago over this problem. Perhaps that was only in the US or perhaps they reached an agreement of some kind with amazon

by julianozen 6y ago
Worth mentioning that Amazon does not allow brands to restrict keywords. I.e. Birkenstock knockoffs can buy keywords on the term "Birkenstocks" even though Birkenstocks are not on Amazon officially. This strategy is used to essent

A lot of drivers were sure forced to drive for Uber for lack of other alternatives but that is not Uber's problem. They did not add to the problem. Society failed there. This law helps no one and is a clear example of no skin in the g

And the opposite is true too. Why should apple decide the porn, cryptocurrency, or the Hong Kong protest app can’t run on an iPhone. It’s perfectly reasonable that they don’t want to sell those things because of their brand but they shouldn

I think this is a very complicated idea. At its root, all secure systems are based on trust of certain entities (be that a bank, a piece of Open Source cryptography, or just a company with values/incentives align with you) Apple has bu

I think there is nothing wrong with a game streaming app. But apple should probably set rules for which third party apps are allowed to download and execute third party code. Third party app stores would work differently on a technical leve

I think we need to be creative about who could run these app stores too. Amazon could theoretically have an App Store in its main app everyone already has installed. Disney could run a store for kids games. Lots of trusted brands can be via

I think apple caving on 3rd party app stores might be the easy regulatory solution for Apple. As a consumer there is definitely a tangible benefit to having the App Store be safe and consistent. Apple can impose its technical, moral, safety

This is shameful. How can nobody want to repurpose these bikes? Wasn't this program supposed to be environmentally friendly? Lebron James gives bikes away as charity to help kids have a sense of freedom and mobility. I dont see how the

Airbnb employee, opinions are my own. You need to operate the company under the assumption that this will happen for a very long time, and that even afterwards people will think about travel differently

Thank you! Aren't these payouts still serving their purpose though if these large companies keep people employed. These large companies represent a lot of jobs

Please EILI5. Since these are loans - these companies are not receiving free money - and since these companies represents several millions of jobs, isn’t it kind of ok that these companies have taken the loans to keep their all those employ
