The idea the supply and demand are manipulated/controlled by the creator of the product, not the market of buyers and sellers. So that negates the private ownership part as well as supply and demand being controlled by buyers and selle

So… free market capitalism for some, but not all? If I buy a good, I should not be able to sell it when/where I see fit?

I guess I just don’t see the excitement here. Drop a seed in the ground get a new variety. Not sure the purpose of trying to preserve every apple varietal, if they were good, they’d of been grafted and promoted. All modern apple orchards a

Western Union was the de facto way for fraudsters to send funds for many years. They didn’t ID the recipient when picking up orders under 700 or 800 dollars. Scams were easy to spot, they t shears try to get you for something just below tha

Taking over AOL “int” accounts was actually considered pretty basic at that time. Getting in the lan as he mentioned was the bigger goal but also wasn’t hard to do at all once you had a few “int” logins. The best was when Gosh took screensh

I expect meta will continue with layoffs. Threads appears to be a flop, their metaverse and AR initiatives don’t seem to be gaining much stream either.

I’ve never truly trusted non in-house recruiters… I was once hiring for a position and working with a contract recruiter. He literally said “let me dig through my roster and see who I placed more than 90 days ago” And they’re guarantee was

I would argue that just because they want to work on AI while it has a lot of hype, might not be a good thing. Folks should do what they are passionate about and interested in, not just raise money to turn a fume from the karat and greatest

Just change Amazon for any other company name and the sentence is still correct. People do they are paid to do.

Yes they are working on it. A number of services already support v6, more to come.

The best way to deal with fires is not to. The problems the west is facing are due to so much fire suppression for tire last century and a half left too much fuel near the ground, we are now learning to let them burn.

The only companies I am aware of that moved back to self hosted outgrew the Shopify platform. By that I mean, they had a large enough business with enough unique needs to justify the cost of hiring and running teams that could build the app

Are those failures a direct result of Amazon existing? I would venture to bet it’s one of the reasons but I would also point out that Walmart has done a lot of damage as have poor management decisions in a number of the companies you listed

Between your responses here and the treatment of candidates that appears to be pretty common, Im a big no on ever applying to your company. Your hiring process is broken.

I guess running a business based on data gathering and ads, isn’t a great long term bet.

Until they are replaced they will not get updates, leaving them open for possible intrusions. Let them have Chinese equipment, starving them of western technology to reverse engineer, steal or sell to competitors isn’t a bad thing either.

I’ve always found the who’s hiring threads to be interesting. I don’t think all of those companies are actively hiring, but rather like to look like they are for some reason I don’t understand. My reasoning is two fold: I applied to some a

Did they make it work though? Function yes, profittably, not yet.

Why the down votes? lol. Funny, and weak, how so many here won’t engage when they disagree. Oh well, haters guys hate, you defend Amzn and they cry.

If I understand correctly, the author is upset that a business offers various pricing models to drive consumers towards certain decisions? Doesn’t like, every company do this?

Yup, always try to work in the profit centers, not the cost centers. Was reminded of that a job or two ago in a big way.

Well when there are fewer new entrants to the Ponzi when the unsustainable APRs didn’t own out, I imagine revenue is quite low.

I wonder what the authors motivations were to write this. Based on my experience it’s completely wrong, and seems to be missing a number of points in making a fair comparison and I’m not sure if that was purposeful or ignorance. The cloud

I think you mean to say, some parties in government have discussed the idea. It’s not set in stone that it will happen.

I don’t think that’s new based on the most recent incident. I recall the pentagon saying this has been going on for a few years. But if, by saying new you mean the last decade, that’s fair.

I’ve heard examples of it happening, but can not point to any. I know my cousin was sued for changing employers, they tried to block her taking a job at a competitor(broad use of the term, but I guess fang’s think everyone is a competitor),

I would think so. Also doesn’t Meta own everything you create when you work there? I know other companies of that size do. And if so, then creating a company is breach and technically the IP of that company now belongs to Meta too.
