And with your argument, the next step could be for Amazon to disallow you to leave the premises, in return for a bunk bed, food and a jumpsuit. After all, if you don't like it, you don't have to accept it.
You don't have a right to a job, a job is a privilege. You are hired at the discretion of the employer. They don't have to offer you the job and you don't have to take it.
Indeed. You have a perfectly fine choice of not taking a job and letting your family get evicted and freeze to death under a bridge.
If you need a 64 bit hash, write a special 64 bit hash function. It's only going to take a few lines, and removes dependencies on bizarre external code, like 64 bit CRC that nobody ever uses.
Besides, CRC functions aren't very good for hashing, as CRC(x) XOR CRC(y) = CRC(x XOR y)
Not everybody is always in a position to choose from a range of different employers when looking for a job to feed their family. For some people, Amazon may the only reasonable option available at the time.
And to answer itzly's comment below, NO ONE (that expects to walk away) is going to be landing a passenger airliner in "terrain"
Depends on what you call "terrain". Not so long ago, US 1549 made a successful landing in Hudson River. Would you want the computer to prevent that ? If not, how are you going to stop a suicidal pilot to hit a bridge support instead ?
The point is that with current state of technology, it's better to trust the judgement of an experienced pilot than a computer system. Look at Turkish Airlines 1951 for instance. The computer messed up and landed the plane a mile north of the runway due to faulty radio altimeter, killing 9 people on board. Mechanical problems are still more common than suicidal pilots.
The computers aren't in complete control. If a pilot wants to do an emergency landing, he must have that option. The computers prevent some things, and they warn for others, but it's impossible to have a computer judge all kinds of complex situations, including various kinds of mechanical or sensor problems.
Also, look at United 93. In some cases, it is preferable to have a plane crash into the terrain at high speed instead of having a hijacker control it into an office building.
Men also get offered lower salaries. But the offer is just the first step in the salary negotiations. If you don't think it's good enough, ask the HR lady for more, or leave.
If you want to claim that Oculus is proof women don't want to work in tech, you have to explain why their parent company (Facebook) manages to employ a 30% female workforce.
Maybe those two companies are not doing the same kind of work ?
I'm talking about the experts that are building solar panels on the ground.
By contrast solar cells for use in space can use lower grade materials
On the contrary. When you factor in the launch costs, it doesn't make sense to use low grade materials to save a tiny bit of money. Instead, solar panels in space use the best materials available for highest possible efficiency for a given mass and/or volume.

Amazon has no control over you. These things carry absolutely no weight at this level.
They have control as long as the employee thinks they do.
everyone can make their own choice.
Only if you have choices left to make.

Wouldn't it be cheaper for Amazon to hire a hit man ?

When it has two functions, written by two different female programmers, that call each other recursively.
Interesting... plane flies over hostile area with autoland capable airport, and somebody presses panic button.
Military people do a lot of stuff that civilians wouldn't accept.
I'm sure they'll feel comfortable using this while the other pilot is trying not to stare.

To be safe, they should only hire retired postal workers.
When you're dealing with people who are no longer thinking rationally, normal rules don't apply.
Option #1 costs $10 [tagpilotsupply.com], which is way cheaper than replacing an aircraft.
Luckily, all the pilots are male.
Planes need to be able to do emergency landings, so it makes sense there's an override switch for landing in the terrain.

"Oh but we see a gray hair, and you don't know the ARM architecture? What's this? Cadence? Buh bye!"
So why not learn ARM and Altium ? There's plenty of work to do, but you have to be willing to adjust.
You were lucky to have a school.
Airships are harder to control in the wind.
The next time you are sexually harassed by a woman, feel free to point it out.
You mean, harass the woman ?

The cost of a laden swallow, gripping it by the husk
Maybe two swallows could do it ?
everyone with a vulnerable system that connects in that hotel gets pwned.
Everyone with a vulnerable system gets pwned anyway.
I'm telling an AC that, smart ass
