The vast majority of the poor are not homeless and are not starving. They are more thankful for what they have than are the rich, and don't resent them as much as they fear the prospect of being homeless or starving. The stress of common poverty is being one minor illness away from the lost income and expense that could get them evicted, or worse.
Committing your life to retail? Really?
You have to be a sick fuck yourself to be obsessed about pleasing sick fuck consumers who are obsessed about getting toys NOW.
Thos. Edison was an archetype of the innovative entrepreneur, and he was not a "idea person". He was a relentless prototyper, experimenter and learner.
Learning by doing is essential. Ideas have to be generated, tried and qualified (and mostly rejected) by doing, not just thinking.
Not heroic. Not. The word has be abused to the point of meaninglessness. Stop saying "hero".
In this case, the recorder didn't know what was to happen, was caught in the moment. We are daily surrounded by people reflexively photo- and video-recording everything and seeing nothing.
Harrumph.
This IS a good thing. The spooks can't afford to break into everybody's house, so they'll need to actually do some work and really assess and prioritize the threats.
The economics of strong encryption will protect the privacy of a lot of innocent people.
Oh, horseshit. Good reason not to a typesetter's advice when designing a product. Cosmetics are only possibly good for getting that first date. A relationship based on cosmetics is doomed. Good gas mileage is not cosmetic.
If you're employed, it's not your productivity, it's not America's productivity. If the means of production (and productivity) are not owned by you, then you don't benefit. If your employer's investment in capital improvements can make the next guy just as productive, it's not about you.
Question is, when will shoppers seriously evaluate the UI as part of the test drive, when will the auto press do the same, and how much will this affect the buying decision?
FWIW, I remember this brilliant (to me) math professor who taught me abstract algebra back in the '80s. She carried around Rubik's cube key chain, and would solve it in moments while explaining the group theory behind it. She was in awe of us in CS, and that programming stuff we did--it was just beyond her.
The modern cultural cadres in charge tell us that diversity is A Good Thing, to be sought as an end in itself. So why do we all have to be programmers? I'm glad Bohr and Einstein didn't bother with this shit. Or Cézanne and Picasso.

More specifically, Amazon is trying to find the kind of people that love the kind of meaningless work they offer.
I think you would actually walk before the final interview. Could this kind of environment be a total surprise to a new hire?

Eh comrades? Eh?
Will now finally have to start that band.

Do it. Do it now.

Can someone post up a picture?
And what exactly is the trend being followed here? The trend of Bad? What is next?

what would it stand for?
RSA should not have settled for a cent less than 1 MILLION dollars.
My object. It's bigger.
Hint: "Armed security officers" can also be untrained overpaid mouthbreathers with power trip issues.
Then we'll clearly need some protection from them. Some kind of guards with guns would be best.
Yep, they sure are gettin' all uppity by wantin' 'lectric 'n stuff.
