I'm from sweden, we don't have Amazon here and also our laws would not allow them to treat people badly. :)

Amazon workers - look here. More money, exercise, outdoors. People do have choices.

by some_account 8y ago
Still, there are more choices than Amazon. I think it's just easier to blame Amazon than for people to make different choices.

by some_account 8y ago
You can question Amazon all you want. As long as there are workers choosing their jobs, they are going to continue hiring people. It's like the meat packing industry... People die there in big numbers, but it just continues.

So why do people work there? There are other jobs I'm sure. Why support this treatment?

Ive never seen it work in practice. It just leads to endless meetings in attempt to synchronize what each team's are doing, and it's often very difficult to understand eachother over video only. When I was working like that for a

The majority of people are having impressions, ideas about other people. If it's not against another race, it's against another gender or another age group. Most of these are not from real interactions but from the impression you

It's not enough to work your ass off. On order to be as successful as Steve Jobs, you need charisma so other people will help you make your vision become reality without questioning it and trying to influence it or change it. Decisions

Not sure what you mean here... You just install Linux on them and usually things work fine. Maybe your fingerprint scanner won't work, stuff like that, but otherwise it's rare to have issues.

I already switched away from Apple to Linux in the last few months, and it's been awakening my passion for computers again. Best desktop environment for people who want a very good looking desktop is Deepin, and the Manjaro Community E

Users should get the final say always. This was normal behavior before windows 8. Now windows users are guests in their operating system, and the attitude can be seen in other software as well, not only from Microsoft. Firefox is an awesome

Depends on the app. I run some things in the browser but if there is a native app for something, it's always more responsive and faster to use. Qt is very fast and very cross platform and Qt 5 together with Python is coming in a new fo

I love python but if I wanted a fast async app, I would prefer to write it in go with goroutines. I don't like the async programming style where every function involved in the logic chain has to be async. Goroutines with channels are j

I love Firefox for the same reasons, along with really nice privacy plug-ins (cookie bro is a super nice plug in for blacklisting all cookies and only whitelisting sites you actually log in to). The web works fine 99.9% of the time with no

This is by design. Look at any comedy movie these days, and the young adults are doing drugs. It has become as natural as eating junk food. People view being drugged and dumb to be fine these days because that's the Hollywood propagand
