I was wondering about how Amazon has grafted itself to the U.S. government so looked it up and found that government agencies rely on AWS. Is that what your referring to?

You are unaware we are in capitalism. You have to understand what capitalism Is.

A successful virus in evolution is one that permanently inserts its dna into human dna. So it doesn’t even need to reproduce anymore. That’s why we have so much junk dna.

Whoa. I am new to interviewing and hiring developers. We needed to hire quickly and i interviewed someone, they did great and they were hired. And when they showed up for there first day in our remote zoom call I was very confused and thought I had interviewed a different person. I was the only person who interviewed them directly as they are a contractor. I brushed it off and thought maybe I was mistaken but reading this has made me rethink this initial feeling as I never mentioned it to anyone.


Take a screenshot while you video interview, also record the interview with permission. Once people know about it, they won’t even take the offer.

The consumer is also apparently a male.


Developers are also getting around the affordable housing requirement by paying money into the affordable housing fund. That way they are not actually required to make a certain percentage of there housing developments affordable.


The restrictive development rules you are referring to are height restrictions on buildings.
