Though the company now employs 200,000 people in the United States, many of its workers are not making enough money to put food on the table...
Can we say the following: -
That folks on food stamps somehow easily find work at Amazon instead of the narrative that the [little] income at Amazon, forces them to employ food stamps?
That Amazon [probably] goes out of their way to employ those who would otherwise be unemployable; these coincidentally happening to be on food stamps?
That those on food stamps get some benefit working at Amazon in terms of other perks they may be getting?
Look, I have heard of the argument that in some jurisdictions, not earning enough qualifies one to get benefits that those who make more may not necessarily qualify for.
... today's six million daily riders are facing constant delays, infrastructure failures, and alarmingly crowded cars and platforms.

New Yorkers should visit places like Dubai, Shanghai, St Petersburg in Russia or even Singapore City, to see what a subway should look like and function.
Sadly, Americans still think they have the best and greatest in the world.
Look. I know it's the evil Russians and all, but do you suppose the Pentagon is the right outfit to cast the first stone?
No I do not! it's really saddening that a public official can lie while on the podium, saying OPCW officials were denied access to the alleged chemical bombing site even before they landed in the country. It's really sad.
Hours later, they did indeed land and were welcomed by authorities. The media only finds time to regurgitate government propaganda, sadly.
You see an interesting video but when you click the link, you're "welcomed" by an uninvited ad! What I do in this case is to mute the sound, an occasionally close my eyes for a few moments. It works most of the time.
Trouble is, even when you forward the video, you'll be confronted with an ad!
I hate ads but will also not pay up in order to avoid them. I know I am not alone.
I am tired of having to "worry" about FaceBook and how it handles data. Can someone here tell me how to ascertain whether an account and associated data no longer exist?
FB is of no use in this regard as they keep bugging fellas who "delete or deactivate" their accounts.
Selling things to a criminal is not, itself, a crime. Just because encryption can be used in concert with a criminal act does not make encryption a criminal act.
Dude, selling stuff to criminals so that this stuff, once used as intended, they commit a criminal act, is in itself criminal I guess. If you sell a knife to a criminal so that this criminal can stab someone, you then become part of the problem that must be stopped
I agree with you BTW. Let's not forget that America's CIA has been doing the same thing via different channels for decades. They are perhaps still doing this to this day.
Where's the media outrage? There is an article here affirming trolling by the USA.
USA complains because they can now be beaten [on the cheap] at their own game.
It saddens me that Android, with its very advanced features, still doesn't have a straight forward way of letting users schedule an alarm for a future date as an inbuilt capability by default. This is a killer feature for me. I know I am not alone.
I don't think you are following along with this subject (though mysteriously you are currently rated "Score:4 Insightful").
It sounds like you think that there is a movement afoot to pass laws to ban people from repairing their own property. That is the opposite of what is happening here. Businesses are trying to take away the ability to repair products through purchase contracts, designing products that can only be repaired by the manufacturer (there are various ways of doing this), and restricting access to spare parts. People are trying to get legislation passed to preserve the ability to repair products, which has up to now been assumed to exist.
The whole point is that corporations are trying to take away the ability of letting consumers decide.
Look dude, this is Slashdot. I see your point, and you're right. The problem is that those with mod points hardly read the summary to understand the gist of the subject. They usually simply want to vent or get their mod points used up fast.
You see folks, I once tried burning cheese using a lighter flame. Guess what; I didn't melt! At that point, I threw out all the cheese I had and have never bought any again. It's been 7 years now.
"I'm worried about the close relationship between the Chinese government and Chinese technology firms, particularly in the area of commercialization of our surveillance technology and efforts to shape telecommunications equipment markets,"
So, we should all be worried because this senator is also worried - even without any evidence warranting the worry. Right? Isn't that how we ended up bombing [chaos into] some country in the Mideast more than a decade ago?
They *force* ads which isn't necessarily bad. What I loathe are the their numbers. Ads are jus to too many.
YouTube's computer interface is just unfriendly. Why do I have to lose visual of playing video simply because I have chosen to read through comments or browse through related video?
Apparently, these small user interface tweaks aren't obvious to my learned and capable friends at YouTube. Sad!
Slashdot Mirror
You got me...Why is this even news? Heck, all companies are surely doing something all the time. Sometimes, I get tired of Apple news.
Is this all media companies have got?
... they can target all the ads they want, they are going to be ignored...
In the meantime, they make billions in profit. Who cares about what you do anyway?

In all the above, I stand to be corrected.
Turn Right at the Burger King...
What if the Burger King can't be located because it's been moved or simply demolished?
I can see a fella looking for the Burger King, failing to see one ( because it doesn't exist), then igniting mayhem for those following behind.
I am just wondering where to find those 5%. Any one with a clue?
Am I alone? Facebook is starting to get attributes of a product, once desirable, that is now really beginning to go bad.
Some would read this as "getting rotten."
The statement...
... today's six million daily riders are facing constant delays, infrastructure failures, and alarmingly crowded cars and platforms.

"Apple makes its money off of good products, not off of you. As they say, with Facebook, you are the product."
In my [small] circle of friends, it appears many have *gained* from being affiliated with Facebook.
Can someone really tell us what the disadvantages of Facebook are?
Disclaimer: I do not have a Facebook account because no body has been able to convince me to get one.
Just imagine: -

"... but we've seen enough consumer harm or potential for consumer harm that it's an area that we want to approach with extreme caution,
I would like Google to tell us whether they have seen any customer benefit at all.
Or Slashdotters can tell us: Anyone know of any benefit related to cryptocurrencies?

How else would I call a fella who says the following to anyone?
“We made it—we made it specifically for this [drug trafficking] too,”
As he reportedly told undercover agents...
One conclusion: "Moron."

it will come crashing down to Earth in the coming weeks, be they do not know exactly where on Earth it will hit.
How about engaging those Russians to hit it out of the sky with one of their S-400/500 missile systems.
With missiles that can fly at Mach 15 and a range of over 400Km, Russians should be able to help.
Just asking folks,
Is there anything that YouTube does well?
I haven't seen positive news on Slashdot in a long time.
Request: Can you at least post some good news. Please..

What's happening to Slashdot editor(s) these days?
Kindly fix.
You see folks, I once tried burning cheese using a lighter flame. Guess what; I didn't melt! At that point, I threw out all the cheese I had and have never bought any again. It's been 7 years now.
There are a number of videos illustrating this.
Let's ask ourselves: "What are we putting in our bodies?"
"I'm worried about the close relationship between the Chinese government and Chinese technology firms, particularly in the area of commercialization of our surveillance technology and efforts to shape telecommunications equipment markets,"

promotes such a toxic workplace...
I would hasten to add that toxic workplace is as most subjective as can be, and that this is *your* opinion.
A company of Uber's size will have haters and employees of all manner of persuasion.
Heck, I am sure that what you call a toxic workplace has a lot of people waiting in line to join.
"Even female Uber drivers earn less than male drivers", but that phrase doesn't carry the same biting edge, does it..
I agree with you 100%. That's sensationalism at work. Some people would characterize this as a small salvo at what should be called fake news.
