qirex posted:the only time I got was covid by going into the office on a day when I spoke to not a single other coworker outside of teams meetings just to make my monthly number The team that sent the pissy rto email intentionally excluded our managers and skips, and I’m a relatively senior guy here (L6 in Amazon speak). We got the email directly and they were notified after. It caused a huge stir and my manager said that was a miscalculation on their part but I think they knew exactly what they were doing: they were signaling that your manager can’t save you from this, you have to come in. When they had those layoffs months ago those people were not selected by their managers, the names were handed down from on high. So the idea that Amazon has some list of people they’re gonna fire based on attendance with no direct manager oversight is a real concern to me

it seems like it would be relatively straightforward for google to allow users who are authed with youtube or gmail or whatever to flag domains they never want to see in search results. this would immediately improve search for everyone by allowing them to start torpedoing SEOed spam sites, and even provide a strong incentive for using a google account. over time perhaps they could incorporate domain block statistics into how they weight search results in general but no, instead we get llm garbage features fun game: try to guess as many of the top 10 blocked domains on kagi as you can before checking the table here: https://kagi.com/stats

Maybe this is automatically generated based on what people are searching for but it's kind of funny because it feels like google is realizing that their search engine is broken and people have to add "reddit" and just offering that rather than fixing it  the buttons at the top used to be links to google's other search functions; videos, images, news, shopping, whatever. at some point they started throwing in random unrelated poo poo and now it's impossible to tell which one is a google search type and which one is just another autocomplete option. it's funny just how bad it's gotten.

qirex posted:hasn't amazon famously not had enough space for employees at their hq that led to 30+ minute bathroom waits and them renting event toilets to be trucked in? is this separate from the problem where some of their buildings had enough space for the number of employees occupying them but the buildings were normal office space designed for a normal 50:50 gender ratio which led to urinal contention when filled with engineers? e; lol https://www.geekwire.com/2015/amazon-employees-biggest-complaint-not-enough-mens-bathrooms-for-all-the-dudes/ quote:“Whenever I needed to go to the bathroom, I went to the floors occupied by the rare teams that had more women than men,” that former employee wrote on Vice. “Amazon Apparel, Amazon Mom, Amazon Baby—these were the places where you had a better shot of getting a free stall in the men’s room. If you were really lucky, and your timing was right, you might even get the bathroom to yourself for a moment. It was a relief from the craziness of Amazon’s corporate culture.

the domain blacklisting feature of kagi alone made me strongly consider trying it 300 searches per month is a ridiculously small cap, though, and $25/month for unlimited searches seems steep after all, you're still searching the same lovely high-noise-low-signal rapidly decaying web

like compare this: https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_selectors.php to this: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_selectors The w3cschools has a table with the selector, an example, and a description of what it does. MDN is just a list of selectors with no information because they waste so much horizontal space on unnecessary padding and 2 navigation controls. they also have AI bullshit
