It is no longer a common name in the US. It wasn't always used to describe a male body part (though it has in modern times). It is also the nickname for "Richard". So there are Richard's that prefer to be called "Di

I can't say either way, but they mention the average person saves even more than they do (90% vs the 60% Amazon saw). This was due to their Oracle license being much cheaper than normal Oracle customers. So if you extrapolate, even if

You'd likely need to look at the local tax laws to state that they aren't getting similar incentives. I'm not in NYC, but I can speak to where I live and many of the laws, obligations and even taxes that apply to an Amazon-si

I've always found working with your team in one location is far easier than when it is split across time zones (or even physical locations in the same time zone). That said, Amazon does hire overseas, a lot: https://www.amaz

I don't know about this argument though. If Amazon bans a book based on their ethics, people freak out about censorship and how one company has so much power and shouldn't be doing that. If their AUP stated what they deemed ethica

It might benefit you to look at a 3rd phone. Because my top notification bar is always full. So no, they are not clearly wrong. Or better yet, maybe it just comes down to individual preference!? I personally never thought I'd see someo

I believe the customization/custom rules being touted is exactly what the commenter was complaining about; each person creating their own custom rules and then getting upset when others don't do the same. Honoring the spirit of Go

Based on the same type of anecdotal evidence, I have the complete opposite view. I've not met anyone that has enjoyed their time at Microsoft. They all talk about the awful work situation, terrible management practices and the backstab

Amazon does not commingle their inventory. You appear to be confusing 3p sellers and "fulfilled by amazon" with "sold by Amazon".

Bunch of the teams I've worked with over the years have had "formal fridays". I can confirm it was a fun tradition.

It depends on what we feel is beneficial to society. Is financial return the only thing we should care about? I'm not a philosopher/artist, etc, but I feel they are important to society, regardless of whether they generate financi

So by keeping out the "unqualified" we continue to increase the gap between the haves and the have nots? I'm not suggesting that is your intention behind the statement, but that is the harsh reality of what will happen. A pol

I'm a bit skeptical that this will have a real impact. It may stop employers from asking, but it does not stop them from low-balling someone based on race/gender, etc. HR departments calculate this in to their offers already. Don&

Everyone entering the store has to be scanned in. A parent could bring a child in, but they are scanned in on the parent's account. Similar to how at some offices, visitors are scanned in using the employee's badge. At least, that
