That's why I said it's not the most comprehensive. However, there have been multiple investigative reports. Enough to make it a pattern. And again, nearly anything is a better source of truth than tweets by employees paid to twee

That is such an over-generalization that I don't know where to begin... no, not all communication is in the mold of paid PR. And, paid PR is not how you correct falsehoods. How about independent research? For example, if Amazon actuall

This is how all marketing works, though? You create a message that focuses on certain facts (proof points) that paint you in the best possible light (although, I'm not sure how much credit I should give Amazon for not breaking the law

Undercover reporting and a survey of 241 workers: https://www.inc.com/marcel-schwantes/whats-it-really-like-wo... It's not the most comprehensive data, but I would put more stock in this than in paid tweets from e

What gives their statements the appearance of fact? Do you think press releases are factual because you know a PR agency was paid to write them?

It's good they're transparent, but are you arguing that whatever the reps say is inherently truthful because Amazon is transparent about their role? I don't consider paid statements to be a good indicator of anything except t

As an Indian, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to make of your analogy...

* Evernote for web articles I find interesting (I love the web clipper), and for random notes * Sometimes Google Keep for other random notes. * Wunderlist for long term todos * Apple Reminders for "remember the milk" type reminder

Yeah, Disqus and Facebook comments were the issue for me, although I don't know if I'm better off being able to see them or not :)

I used to do that, but it would sometimes break functionality on certain sites, and the whitelist is a bit of a pain to manage. I've had good success with http://disconnect.me

I'm interested to see if this is part of a movement by Google towards a different notion of community & identity than Facebook. Moot has very different position than Mark Zuckerberg when it comes to identity online: http:/&#x

I see that you clarified in another comment. However, it's not uncommon for tech companies to say that they're like a "family", but what it really means is that they want you to long hours, weekends etc, because you know

I had the exact same reaction - if you told me a company was family oriented, I would imagine that means they foster a good work/life balance so that you can spend time with your family. That's not to say that companies shouldn&#x

I suppose I enjoy arguments about word usage, but at the end of the day, the battle he's fighting is already lost. Also, anecdotally, I've rarely heard a software engineer call themselves just an "engineer". They usually
