I think you are thinking about the US consitution and the 3-5ths compromise. Slaves were only considered 3/5ths of a person. At Amazon though non-managers are considered 0/5ths. You are stupid if you work there as a non-manager

It is simply isolated data center racks for government. Just like AWS gov cloud. Apparently the article author had never heard the term "air gap."

Not at $35. I would get a zynqberry and learn fpga programming if I was serious about the form factor. Otherwise I would get a used server on ebay and max out the ram.

Really, REALLY flexible time. I only go to the office to socialize. I like to code late at night where nobody can bother me. I've quit strict "where were you at 8:00AM you need to call in if you are going to be late" jobs

A doctor has to declare a person dead, paramedics can't do it. In all cases it makes sense to transport the body to the hospital where the person is pronounced dead by the doctor. Otherwise the family may argue in court the paramedic

Management is easy when your employees have to go to prison for not obeying you and you can exact non-judicial punishment any time ou want.

Looking at the clearly sparse docs, Metal looks like some jackass's pet project. For people who get off on making everyone else use their system by systematizing the obvious and the already done, graphics apis have an allure. However

The world out there pays HALF. Not everybody who works at Amazon is in their first job. Many people have worked in those other places and dealt with the personalities, the low pay, the excuses. Sooner or later people realize, "ok If

1. Some people view life as a puzzle to be solved. It's a game created by a higher being, maybe even myself, to be played. 2. I don't believe in other minds. So therefore not only is my life not meaningless, it is the only life

Yeah, I considered that, managers there are always trying to hire women they want to fuck and have heard anecdotes of interns who think using sex will get them a full time position. This was not that case.

First you're goddamned right I stalk all those shady people. And yes, I said something like, one of the management associates was charged with pimping out sex-trafficked women, I think maybe you should find a safer place to work.

1st level and in the same small org. People that would have known, interviewed, and hired the person. Companies don't just hire rando's of the street they know nothing about into high management positions.

To answer your question, I hope it has changed. I was uneasy there with how managers would chat up the young women employees in their offices (with the sliding roller doors) for hours. In a few instances I felt uneasy with the way some pe

Thanks to linked in, I saw who was on a 1st level connection with the ex-director there who was arrested for running ads for prostitutes in Bellevue. Those 1st level contacts are still there and in higher positions now. Being 1st level on

No, knowing English is not required to be a software engineer. There are millions of software engineers around the world, a large percentage of which do not know english. Virtually all modern languages and tools support UTF-8 which can en

"After I departed in 2012, the public interest seemed to die down, and hockey stick growth along with it." lol. Are you trying to imply you were the life of the party? And Klout's business model was clearly pilfer everyone&

This is amazon's model. A cobbled together team of 1-3 low level engineers takes a feature of some open source software package or the entire package itself, wraps it in an ill-conceived web layer or existing service and makes a big a

Go do a stint at Amazon and you will understand. Executive management is insane there. For instance, executives will just lie and say they are in charge of the X team where X is something popular and upcoming. There will be for instance,

No, but there is a "not this shit again" attitude. Over the last 50 years it has been done. Most of the time people with a new syntax also have stupid names for already agreed upon constructs and ideas. Those people are trying

That is the biggest load of bullshit I've ever heard. What if your business focused managers fuck up and accidentally write some code? Then they can no longer understand how to work on valuable and sell-able projects? Managers destr

Yeah there is a lot of money in New York. It is all dead money sitting in accounts and low risk investments. There is no new money being generated. Amazon feeds off of growth, not having wealth. Growth wise, those areas are doing...what

It is a desolate wasteland of economic strife. Why do you think 240 cities threw billions at Amazon? The culture has to be replicated, which most of America is not willing to do.

This sounds like a sponge operation to gauge how much experimental flight testing programs may impact the public, how secret it is being, collect debris that falls into public hands, etc. Obviously if it was done under the auspices of a mi

My guess is they send regular pilots up on training to see if they detect whatever latest stealth drone they are also testing. They obviously are not going to tell the pilots beforehand.

Bezos is the worst person to invest in flyover areas. Amazon culture is extremely classist. Every bad stereotype you can think of happens. If you are from a rich family on a coast and went to an ivy you get lots of funding, support, and
