I don’t go on Blind, I don’t really see the appeal. You seem strangely unhappy about your own situation to be this fixated on Amazon

They do though, they pay me around $180 a month for an unlimited transit card (that I can’t use) and a transit debit card for Uber (that is currently capped because I also cannot use it). For most other folks that pays for parking.

Honestly, anybody that passes a certain bar is probably fine for me. We already have that with medical licensing, board exams, residency matching, etc. If anything we could probably loosen the bar, since residency spots are artificially sca

That's around my line of thinking, pure meritocracy is both too subjective and far too harsh to the people who aren't in the lucky egg club, especially in increasingly global winner take all games (an inevitable consequence of glo

I'm intrigued, which model Surface with which Linux distro would you recommend in the "impulse buy" territory?

The corruption is terrible and I'm glad he was caught and prosecuted but it's weird to me that the topline salary figure is so prominent. He oversaw a $500 million budget and made the equivalent of a Googler with 3 to 6 years expe
