That's actually the most secure password they could have chosen. Who'd suspect that a security company would use the simplest of passwords. Dumbasses wasting time trying to crack a secure password, hah! /s

See, the issue is that most probably this person is not Amazon's customer. Their employer is. In which case either Amazon is or isn't important to them. If it is, they can just tell the person to get over it and do their job. If i

One aspect that isn't mentioned that I think probably has a huge impact: money. Not talking about whether the older siblings' career makes money that's used for the younger, although that might be the case as well. Instead,

He didn't say that there are negative effects but that he sees no positives . Surely anyone who's carefully considered a position would be able to point out at least some positives.

I've noticed this as well. It has gone on for a significant time now. That leads me to believe that they have data that says that it's more profitable to alienate users that hate it rather then remove it. I'd be very interest

I think developing a tool for SMEs like this is really tough. Whenever I come across a new one, in order to evaluate it, often one of the first questions I try to answer is: how's this better than a Google Spreadsheet? Most of the time

Firstly it's that you seem available for interruption, either by managers or coworkers equally. Most people don't understand how harmful that is. Managers vs makers schedule explains this. Secondly, however, is the inability to co

This might be good advice for ideas that might be good but not in a field that interests you. Then you aren't the right person for the job. But the "you're not good enough" justification seems misguided.

It seems to me that centralizing means that if the service goes down, your entire chain is down. Decentralizing on the other hand makes it possible to replace individual links. If GitHub goes down you can switch to Gitlab. But you can'
