And after it's done, send us money so we can chase another industry offshore by making demands to publishers. But hey, we're doing it to protect you...
This isn't a boots on the ground industry like mining or trucking, this is a job that can be done from anywhere (and cheaper). Yes, quality may suffer, but that's going to be what hurts them, not strikes. Bad games don't (well, they shouldn't), sell.
Clicked through most of those articles, and if you read between the lines, they're mostly pro-Union biased political articles. One even starts with an attack on Trump, completely unrelated to the supposed subject of the article.
The one line that really made me laugh is "Amazon workers in general have been very vocal lately about their opposition to the companyâ(TM)s lack of diversity " Seriously? Whoever wrote this article has never stepped foot in my building, And I doubt any of the writers of those articles have spent a day in an Amazon facility. My boss two levels up is a woman, I'm the only one in my department with an "anglo American" name, I'm no more than 30 steps away from speakers of at least 5 languages that I can name, plus ASL, I know of at least 14 unique countries co workers were born in, there is a special Amazon group for gay and lesbian employees, Glamazons. And if you close your eyes and walk into the break rooms at meal time when the banks of microwaves are busy, you'd be hard pressed to count the number of different ethnic foods in the air.
But hey, why believe what an actual employee says,
Not at my FC. Employees are encouraged to hydrate (signs everywhere), bathrooms spread across the building, multiple break rooms, Free coffee/hot choc/etc machines.
I can't honestly speak for other locations since I haven't been there, but also I can say that there are people that are never happy doing what they are paid to do.
Don't forget day 1 benefits.
Full disclosure, I work for Amazon. And I haven't regretted it for a minute. Yes, the packers/pickers/stowers/etc do work hard, but as for as my FC is concerned, I haven't seen anything at all resembling the urban legend horror stories.
So science has just discovered "Old Man Strength."
Never mess with a retired iron worker, machinist, miner or anyone else that did physical labor their entire life. This is known.
Make sure registering creates a bonus for the customer, rather than a penalty for not doing so.
Ship all new units with "limited functionality" that unlocks with "free" registration. Make the customer WANT to register.
Instead we see the arrogance of Corporations and the people that run them.

The fact that you can't publish a cartoon for fear of anything, is the only proof you need to show why the cartoon needs to be published in the first place.
Amazon decided to pull a book because of punctuation. I guess next time it sentence structure, or maybe using certain words too many times. And words in sentences lead to ideas, so any ideas that Amazon feels affects the reader in a negative manner should also be blocked.
From punctuation, to language, to the author's thoughts and intents of putting word to paper, once Amazon starts to believe that it is the arbiter of what is good, or allowable to it's readers, then authors and readers should decide that maybe Amazon isn't what's best for them.
I'm pretty sure that OEMs like Dell just use preconfigured master images to flash an install onto a hard drive. The user when he is selecting what to install is the one actually doing all the work, the rest is just a glorified script to create the configured disk.
Manually installing the selected programs would take hours per machine. The generated hard drive image takes only as long as the image takes to write to the hard drive.
That's just ridiculous. Everyone knows the Boob Mountains are on Venus.
The way you think, I'm glad you don't do mission planning for Uranus. Or do you?
If the rover had a fluids leak, then every time it stopped, it would leave a spot like a car with a bad transmission does on a driveway. And if it is a leak, then that's bad news for a long term mission, and NASA should be doubly concerned what it is to see how it will affect onboard systems, and modify rover behavior accordingly.
Missions never go to the same area twice. And how can you stick to a set plan, when you don't have a clue to what's really there to begin with?
It's the things they don't understand or expect that should get the most attention. Sure comparative geology is great for establishing a control baseline, but the real science is looking for the stuff that isn't expected.
Von Braun may have designed the rockets, but Sgt. Schultz drives the rover.
NASA has a history of "Look over there. Isn't that interesting!", "Lets go this way instead..."
I think a better term than Gravistar or "Black Hole" would be "Ice Hole".
Since matter is sucked into one to the point that the matter at the center is compressed so tightly that any molecular motion is impossible, the temperature of the center would actually be 0K. The density of it would be so great that even energy from matter impacting the edges of it would fail to cause shock waves to pass to the center, but make the entire mass of the object resonate as a solid unit. In effect, all matter, energy, and even time would be frozen at the center. Therefore "Ice Hole".
No proof presented. Math is hard.
No matter how many times I crossed my eyes, I couldn't see the magic image. Am I doing somethig wrong?
But if it's seeing things move, I can get the whole room to move with a bottle of nice single malt. Does that prove that drinking makes you smarter?

WTF, Dude! You aren't supposed to actually read Ayn Rand, just cite it to give your opinion some intellectual weight.

They'll probobly want to trade whatever each of us downloaded.
Sheesh. How could people this dumb have so much disposable income?
Because investors never invest their own money, just other peoples's money.
Was I the only one thinking of mascara, some red lipstick, a 40's hairdo...
