Believe Quora. Believe the news articles. Believe the current and former employees that post and comment on HackerNews. Here's some light reading: "Amazon leaders are worried that a 'Day 2' mindset is seeping in at the c

Post-US TikTok I am seeing an uptick in pro-military/recruitment videos, as well as right-wing/fascist propaganda. I'm also seeing educational content and leftist discourse flagged at increasing rates. Is this due to influenc

There are a few reason why 3rd party sellers don't want to go through Amazon. Can someone audit Amazon's warehouses, on behalf of 3rd party sellers, to investigate the proliferation of fake goods (bought by Amazon, not 3rd party s

If you're not appreciated now, it's likely you just won't be. If bosses are giving you the run around, this is a clear indication of no promotion land. Sometimes mastering and overcoming the current situation is recognizing t

Pretty sure Amazon has been doing this since last year, as part of a cost cutting mechanism, that was also a "go green" push.

It's weird that Republicans, historically pro-military, would block military appointments. How long before this is considered treason?

I'm assuming Alexa will be transitioning to AWS side, for generative AI focus. As for the claim that Alexa is hard to monetize, not really. It's always baffled me how teams can jump head first into pitfalls of monetary loss in tha

Brave is really showing up in terms of privacy and security focused browsing. What's interesting to me is that Mozilla had Brendan Eich, and excused him. And today, with Eich at the helm, Brave is climbing the ranks while Mozilla finds

The extent of individual tracking is borderline unconstitutional. We're talking serious breach of individual privacy. If enough people knew and gathered evidence (which I'm happy to describe how to do this), there would be class a

No, nothing offensive. People don't like rational thinking, especially when it points out truths that could take their exceptional comforts away (e.g., high pay and WFH status). Who knows what could be revealed when people have to be i

Alanis Morissette articulated it quite well: "I'm broke but I'm happy, I'm poor but I'm kind" Morality doesn't have to come with a price tag.
