Jeff Bezos is the CEO of Amazon, a public company he owns about 15% of. The Washington Post is owned outright by Bezos personally.
Because who hasn't been in a stressful interview? Interviews are already stressful enough for most people without interviewers pushing potential hires to the brink.
The way contractors are treated at all these tech companies including Google is exactly a result of what happened to Microsoft and how it was punished. They did not make a distinction between how employees and contractors were treated which got them in hot water for not offering equivalent benefits and perks (like stock).
Exchange has had this kind of functionality for over a decade and tons of government customers. If it wasn't a problem there, why is it now with Google?
These are almost certainly "total compensation" numbers including salary, bonus and notably equity.
Actually, it uses tabs. But with go fmt, who cares?
As somebody who started writing it about 75% of the time at my job starting earlier this year, I found it weird at first because it's pretty different from other popular languages. But once you get used to writing it, it really does become transparent and second nature.
How is it "free of charge" if you have to share revenue? This summary reads like a press release.
The map you're looking for is here. If I remember correctly, yellow is Millenium/Broadstripe/Wave, everything else is Comcast. In shaded areas of the Comcast section, Millenium can wire individual apartment or condo buildings. For example, I live in a Comcast area of Capitol Hill but we only have Millenium in my building, most likely because they offered either the building management or the builder an incentive (e.g., wired the building for cable for free in exchange for a multiyear contract).
Every time somebody complains about their Comcast internet in Seattle, I want to smack them upside the head. Try living in an area or building that only has Millenium/Broadstrap/Wave for cable service. I dream of going back to Comcast after dealing with CenturyLink's reliable and cheap but extremely slow (usually 35Kb up, 2-3Mb down) DSL. Millenium is a non-starter with their higher prices and shitty service.
Not necessarily. Decriminalization can also refer to changing marijuana possession from a crime (i.e., you go to jail) to an infraction (i.e., you pay a small fine). It can be the difference between, say, a felony and a parking ticket.
Adjunct faculty are basically the academic equivalents of temps (no benefits, low pay, term-by-term contract) or are only working part-time while making their living from another job (e.g., professional musician teaching on the side). Generally, not "a pretty good job".
These Amazon distribution centers are operated by wholly owned subsidiaries. Amazon claims that it's not their sales business that has a business presence there, but rather the subsidiaries which are technically separate companies that just happen to be owned by Amazon.
