Just set tip to 0 every time.

While that works for me I'm guessing 95% of the people using Primenow don't know to do that. Amazon is 100x larger than DoorDash and needs to be called out on it.

And tip in cash.

I never pay any tips except in restaurants. I always set tip to 0 in Prime Now etc. I makes me feel good that I can spend the saved money on myself.

Only reading about video driver issues and sleep/hibernation configuration puts me off Linux desktop. Windows is a great and modern user-friendly OS. Office 365 is awesome too. WSL is the latest missing piece.

Updates were improved in 1903

Passion of his employees is very well observable from garbage quality products they make: trashy APIs, utter trash SDKs, broken endpoints, outages, broken user stories.

Amazon also treats its employees like shit but at least their products are usable.

You can't have your cake and eat it too. Telemetry in this case helps in improvement of the product, it's good for you as end user. If you don't like, please switch to another editor. You paid zero but setting requirements how it should and how it shouldn't. Good luck with utter ugly but no tracking and "free" GNU Emacs with its ancient Lisp and garbage packages.

You are the product. You paid by using it and by giving back on github or by getting your boss to buy support.

If you don't like that switch to a non-open source editor.

What's the practical function of MVP in the era of GitHub and open source where everyone can join discussion with devs and PMs without a need to be part of any elitist group? Just to keep a handful of folks still proud of their MVP badges they earned in 2001?

Are you asking why social validation is a useful tool for getting people to be helpful with thorny or esoteric technical questions?

Regardless of whether I think the MVP program was good, your question answers itself.

There are thousands of people still proud of their MVP badges. You vastly underestimate their worth.

It's like being given a blue checkmark from Twitter or Instagram. People want it.

People like to add it to their Twitter bios and be a part of an echo chamber.

So long as it has any sort of registration and hence user accounts, it's good enough to top up password lists.

No, it does not have any registration or user accounts.

How many nights and weekends should be uselessly wasted on LeetCode to get in shape before the whiteboard interview?

At least learning of new things in CSS will give you new useful knowledge which you can potentially apply in future.

How many nights and weekends should be uselessly wasted on homework for every interview?

At least whiteboard requieres practicing for real once in a life time.

> I'd rather take the US government spying on me than the Chinese government spy on me.

Not everyone shares your opinion.

If the Uighurs had a voice, I think they might have something to say about that[1].

Cool story bro.

Me, just like Uyghurs, would prefer to be spied on by the evil empire which DOESN'T rule me.

Uyghurs are ruled by China so they'd rather be spied on by us for sure.

I live in Europe so I'm ruled by US, and therefore would prefer China to spy on me.
