I think it's interesting how the perception of Amazon is changing. Even my parents who are in their late 60s are avoiding Amazon because of counterfeiting and poor production quality.

I know of at least one company near the top of that list that has to be astroturfing their reviews. Most folks there hated their job and the turnover was insane. Like we're talking onboarding classes where 50% or more of the employees quit within a month or so.
The Rob Schneider quote is a bit much. His quote is political nonsense from the right instead of the left. He should be talking about the lack of effort or insight in those types of bits instead of harping about liberal indoctrination. But he can't go that route because he's a hack whose entire claim to fame is that he's good friends with Adam Sandler.
There are a bunch of such threads over the years where through statistical analysis, users have identified groups of dozens of bots.
While years ago many of the pros could theoretically beat these bots, it may not have been by enough of a factor to overcome the rake. Of course if the bots are practicing any game selection they can take money out of the economy even if they can't beat pros.
Anti-bot measures is an arms race and the sites aren't always ahead of the game.
Since tournaments don't often spend much time with stacks much deeper than 100bb, I would guess that tournaments would be more easily solved. Though tournaments are much more frequently run with 9-10 players rather than 6 at a table.

And it's not like in the movies where if you don't have the money to call a bet, you lose. You simply are considered all in for the main pot and then sidepots that you aren't eligible to win will be created for any bets you can't cover.
If you want highly rated content of all genres and formats (TV and movies), you get more than you could ever hope to have time to watch.
If you want to watch one specific thing, then yeah chances are good it's not there.

I've worked with folks with 15+ years that could technically code but they took eons to deliver and their solutions were unmaintainable. Some of them with advanced degrees too.
Small sample size, but the few folks I'm thinking of were such bad hires that could have been avoided if we had them write some code or put the proper emphasis on the coding exercise we had them do.
That's about a 30% raise for an extra 15 minutes of commute each day.
It's perfectly reasonable to require companies to tell us what data they're collecting and how it will be used.
To some people culture fit might mean "I'd hang out with this person on Sundays." This of course is problematic and can let in all kinds of biases leading to discrimination.
Ideally culture fit is about whether a person can fit in to the processes in place. Do they value testing? Are they comfortable with the level of ambiguity that will be found in their assignments? Etc.
I'm in favor of the latter, but it needs to be evaluated based on direct questioning to limit the impact of biases i.e. "Would you be comfortable being required to have 100% test coverage on the code you write?" I've certainly seen folks come out of an interview confident that someone wouldn't be comfortable with ambiguity just because they said that at their current job they are given detailed specs to implement.
The entire 5th season has most of the department cooking the books to get their overtime pay.
