Amazon and AWS have completely separate privacy/security teams and different ways of approaching it. _Every_ AWS service treats user data like radioactive material. If you're an AW…

I was able to enable it myself through the web interface, no contacting customer support required. >And to enter it, you ... append it to your password? Are you implying this is wr…

>For whatever it's worth, we issue CSAT surveys to every candidate who interviews (about 6,000 onsite interviews in 2019) I interviewed in 2019 and never got a CSAT. The recruiter …

This is such an insulting excuse. Ironically, this is almost the exact same attitude I got in my poor experience interviewing with Stripe. Interviewers were constantly late to our …

You did not provide a specific counterexample. A reference to a sole example says nothing about the majority of arguments. That is not how majorities work. Your original reply to m…

>And that US federal minimum wage is $7.25 an hour, $15,080 for a years worth of work. That is not a livable wage in almost any area of the country, especially the population cente…

I fully agree with your comment. I see no reason why these workers shouldn't be unionized. In my comment, I am addressing the pay and benefits argument that is being brought up by …

How does that compare to Cloudflare? Is Cloudflare completely free for CDN? I can't find a clear pricing page.

The "top-voted comment" anywhere has no bearing on what is or is not the majority argument.

>That’s because they’re not decrying the wages or health benefits Speak for yourself. The vast majority of complaints about Amazon on this forum are explicitly referencing pay.

Does AWS (and GCP and Azure) not do the exact same thing when transferring data out via Cloudfront (or their respective CDN)? Is Backblaze really special in that regard?

Canadian minimum wage is relatively high (and your statement is only true for Ontario, btw. In other parts of Canada, Amazon warehouse worker minimum pay is 150% minimum wage). Whe…

This comment seems like it comes from a place that has a warped understanding of what typical pay is. >They are on the lower end of big tech salaries. Amazon pay may be slightly lo…

You mean like the data center employees who all do have to continue to work from their offices? Those employees who I haven't seen a single complaint from, or any articles written …

edit: in the interest of being less combative I've reworded this entire comment. The First Amendment does not apply to this situation. The First Amendment applies to restrictions t…

Sure, but that has nothing to do with any constitutional protections (or lack thereof) about either of those.

Feel free to point out anywhere the constitution says so. The constitution and/or bill of rights have nothing to do with this situation, as no constitutional rights were broken wha…

You're speaking broadly about how a lot of stuff should be while ignoring how stuff actually is. >Normally tech employers don't fire people for complaining about company policies I…

There are no constitutionally protected rights to disparage, or even just talk negatively about, anyone you want. The constitution has nothing to do with this case at all.

Amazon has nearly a million employees. The gist of your comment is valid, but firing two people (or even two hundred people) out of a million doesn't even come close to meaning tha…

It's not totally unreasonable to be skeptical of WaPo in this story, but you are failing to recognize that the entire reason people are posting the WaPo article to begin with is th…

That quote is straight up incorrect. Amazon doesn't restrict, and actually encourages employees to talk about their work conditions, as long as said employee makes sure to say "the…
