I'm also surprised that many supposedly educated people on HackerNews don't seem to know these things. Noam Chomsky wrote Manufacturing Consent decades ago. Read, you fools!

Bullshit. Donald Trump and Jeff Sessions are racists, and their decision to put the lives of 800,000 people at risk is indeed racist. You can call it "immigration policy" if it mak…

Have you been asleep this past week? The courts already ruled to put a stop to this executive order. Who do you think is supposed to enforce the ruling of the courts?

I'm afraid that is likely an underestimated number of affected people/lives because it does not include the number of people with valid, legal visas who are refused boarding by air…

About time for more people to stand up to Trump and his idiotic executive orders.

The YCs and large companies can easily move their investments and offices to Canada and hire the world's best and brightest there. I'll give you the often conservative advice: Toug…

>> The intent of the H1-B visa law is clear: It is meant only for STEM workers when there is no American to fill the role. ___That's it. Period.___ Are you Sean Spicer? ;)

I appreciate your reply, and it's certainly true that not all teams or managers are bad at Amazon. I'd suggest that you're on a lucky on-call rotation, and seem to have a good mana…

So, let's see... 1. You check your email aggressively during your time off. 2. You think that 50 hours a week is normal. 3. You think 1/8 weeks of _unpaid_ on-call is reasonable. H…

That's a very good question! I should have left after 3 years. I did not know any better. Specially when it came to compensation, I only knew about my promised stocks' grown value,…

All of the friends whom I helped, and myself included have transferred from Amazon to Facebook/Google/Apple located in Seattle. I went from ~$150 total comp to ~$260 after a couple…

If you've been at Amazon for 11 years, your stock has grown from $40 to $500. I can see why you stick around in addition to the other positives that you mentioned... I've been at G…

Amazon does _not_ pay as well as Google/FB/Apple/Twitter/Netflix/LinkedIn/Salesforce/etc.

I'm so glad that this is getting more visibility. I spent 5 long years at Amazon Web Services from 2008 - 2013 as a Software Development Engineer, and was at some point promoted to…

Thanks for clarifying this.

As someone who actually worked at Amazon for a few long years, I'm always skeptical of such seemingly positive news, and often think "hmm, could this be another marketing trick to …

BRAVO! I was just going to say the same thing... My interest in Google+ is the same interest I had in facebook years ago: some site I upload and share my personal photos with peopl…

Don't you have to use the "iTunes store" to install apps on iDevices remotely? Also, as an example use case, how else do you put music on your iDevices? I'm under the impression th…
