This is a mock up. Do you seriously think they forgot to ask the question "what about the giant hole in the ground"? lol

people who don't want to live in small apartments next to busy rail lines

there is cool new technology called a "barrier" that could be used

municipal budget problems are only a problem for the people in office when it goes downhill.

this solves the "last mile" problem since your car will be at your destination

> cripples my MBPr on load

AMD E-350 laptop from 2011 loads fine. Something is terribly wrong with your computer or your config.

It always says 100% complete when it runs /s

you can't make money trading with fake money in a simulated stock market.

good experience. The app is extremely smooth and attractive and it makes it easy to buy and sell.

that link kills the back button. also, you can't make money so why bother

Still no ascii heart or emoji. This will never succeed :P

but it does still exist

> The only way you know more than analysts is

is to flip a coin: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/coin-flip-beats-listening-wal...

Now you could argue that diversification is key and that the best way to diversify is to choose an index vs picking your own asset mix. But deifying analysts is absurd

> I'm guessing that's just a copy/paste from somewhere else.

In then event of a sell off, the new owners won't be asking about the original "intent" of the creator. They will be looking at the contract for ways to make money. The fact that you are paying nothing for this product makes it doubly suspicious.

same. they also forgot to add "made with <3 in san francisco" at the bottom

folders and pages would have been better.

model it after something in the real world before you appropriate words from another paradigm

On adding features:

You have to be flexible with how you classify your product. If you are stuck in "maintenance\small tweaks only" mindset you will constantly find excuses to say "no".

New features will break your model. It is your job to try and figure out if it is worth the cost. I typically use the "common customer" argument. If this would be useful to the "common customer" it gets serious consideration.

On hand holding:

Most people will "get" your product and stop calling you. There will be some who call all the time. You can use these calls to help direct your work eg: "I'm getting 15 calls a week about username\password issues, it is time to rethink the login\password reset process."

Uncertainty. Trump seems to flip his public stance on issues after having a 10 minute conversation with someone.

You can beat him with any character. Jump away from him and kick constantly and you will win

The kids had decades to disassociate. They chose the money. Let them rot.

thanks for this, it is helpful

These tech workers seem to say otherwise about both working conditions and turnover: https://www.reddit.com/r/cscareerquestions/comments/4fg44p/1...

Glassdoor is filed with them too

I'm glad you are happy at your job. Many people disagree.

You pesky android users are always complaining about my beautifully designed pages. They look great on my iPad. There must be something wrong with your droid /s

Its time to come back to down to reality. Your manager would be laughing at your little outburst all week. It would actually make him happier.

If you are going to make those claims, please provide a source.

This is pretty good rant from the technical\engineering side: https://plus.google.com/+RipRowan/posts/eVeouesvaVX

There is no need to fetishize amazon and if amazon is your model I feel sorry for your employees.

it is hard getting people to work for free

> but the only barometer that should have some weight is the ease or difficulty that Amazon has in attracting and retaining top talent

They have terrible retention. One of the worst and in many years the absolute worst.

A few years back workers were passing out from working in 100 degree temps. They were disciplined for performance and instead of installing air conditioning, they lined up ambulances and paramedics to take falling bodies to the hospital. https://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/19/inside-amazons-ver...

This is grotesque.

By almost every account, Amazon is terrible place to work: https://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/16/technology/inside-amazon-...

This isn't the type of leader you want to be.

I used to work in call centers. The job has almost nothing to do with helping customers.

Your manager will tell you the customer is the top priority, you will be told that the only person more important is you: the direct contact with the valuable customers.

Then he will publicly berate you for 15 minutes if your average handle time deviates from the last hour.

Your type of call is a golden goose. I get to "resolve" it and end it in 25 seconds which means I can take a 4 minute bathroom break instead of a 3 minute one.
