Hmm? The linked tweet was posted at 16:52.

Ah yes, so all Sri Lankan buddhists must be vegetarian.

Mate, <50% of India is vegetarian.

That website is awful on iOS/Safari. Constantly scrolls me back to the top.

Amazon, Google, and Microsoft aren’t members either. But they’ve been mentioned.

I don’t have data but I wouldn’t be surprised if it got there. India is mobile first, Jio is putting internet in the hands of 100s of millions of Indian at cheap prices. They’re shutting out the competitors.

Jio also has its own streaming service, which doesn’t count against your data caps. That’s anti net neutrality.

The obvious next step is to start making the sender pay for traffic as well.

driving every day is more dangerous than not driving every day

Can't disagree there. Do you also do thing like having groceries/shopping delivered to your place of residence, to avoid having to leave the house. Or do you still walk/commute/drive/travel to things that most would consider part of everyday life?

danger to my personal well being and the cost

I don't know what your personal situation is, and you don't have to go into any detail, but how/why is coming to the office affecting your personal well being?

It comes from Amazon's Leadership Principles (LPs) [1] which honestly feel like the vestiges of the company's heyday. The two new ones (at the bottom) were added by Andy Jassy when he took over and are a joke within the company. But here's what this post's title is referring to

Maybe Americans are just terrible at interviewing for these jobs?

Checks out!

free with applecare

So about $200 depending on what model you have then? I pay for AppleCare+ for my iPhone 11 (mostly because I like not using a case) and it's not free.

I could barely read or navigate on mobile despite being prompted to ‘flip to landscape’. I gave up on the page.

My professor at Cornell whose lab Werner Vogel (Amazon's current CTO) worked loved telling this story. Maybe there's some veracity to it.

Have you considered that Reddit users simply do not like being advertised to?

Does anyone like being advertised to?

There's a different video in which James Duane addresses the traffic stop situation - https://youtu.be/-FENubmZGj8?t=503

The browser is turtle slow.

Are you using old reddit? [1] Do you find that slow as well??

I think WFH is cancerous too, I'm an engineer with no real estate investments.

there were no existential risks to it

Untrue, by all accounts they were burning through money.

I work closely with the CR-time coverage/enforcement tool. The tool expects 70% new line coverage. The number was chosen arbitrarily, but individual teams/managers can choose to avoid the rule or set a different threshold.

It's not ridiculous to expect some, *configurable*, amount of test coverage for newly generated code, is it?
