I am interested in how Amazon measures being the earths best employer.
No surprises. FF need to be banned on a hard timeline.
Probably why it's a leadership principle now. When I started there, the first thing I noticed, reading the LPs, was a conspicuous lack of anything employee-centric, which most other big companies have somewhere in their mission statement.
I think largely because not allowing it doesn't make that much of a difference; I can just as easily place a click-baity frame within my actual video and use that as the thumb.

Very smart of them to push for a diverse workforce, weak collective feeling so worse at labor organizing.

Awesome re: supporting both TypeORM and Sequelize
In all fairness, maybe that's why they're adding this: the workplace culture and irresponsibility of Amazon are the main things I hear criticized a lot, so this could be them trying to actually address that. I know Amazon, more than most companies, actually rates engineers along these axes.

Then again, this could just be PR mumbo jumbo.

Honest services fraud: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honest_services_fraud

It has been scaled back quite a bit in the last decade or so thanks to Enron's Jeff Skilling and "media magnate" Conrad Black (since pardoned) and seems to have fallen out of favor with prosecutors. The "Kids for Cash"[1] people were charged with it but didn't make it into the final plea agreement and Rod Blagojevich (also since pardoned) was charged with it but I think those charges were eventually dropped.

Wow, I’d never seen that deck. It’s incredibly honest and direct and does not read like typical corpo-speak. I don’t know if they practice what they preach at Netflix but they definitely got a bit more of respect from me.
Since you’re closer to this and this has been asked in other comments,

Is there a reason for doing this besides ‘we can’? Not sure if there’s something we aren’t seeing or aren’t privy to.
I'm curious what the business expenses of a digital publisher like Elsevier look like. Peer review is not their purview, right? And I don't believe they pay the original authors a portion of each sale. Or that they need much of an advertising budget. What's the cost structure look like for a company like this one?

With all due cynicism, has their been public research on the sort of clever accounting tricks a company with Elsevier's business model must surely be using to keep their profit margin as low as 35% ..?
I wonder if Matrix will get its own "spamhaus" equivalent, and if this will be a single service or a multiple competing ones.

> I guess this what the second amendment was made for.

Eh, it's probably part of what it's intended for, but private ownership of small arms is, at best, a minor factor in whether revolutions succeed. Having the majority of your own, or a foreign, military on your side, is much more important. Or, if your military sits it out, widespread private ownership of small arms isn't really that big a factor anyway.

... now, if you're an unpopular faction trying to take over, and the military sits it out, that's another matter. Then having guns is very useful. Or if you're trying to destabilize things with guerrilla tactics and terrorism so the government becomes unpopular and successful revolution is feasible.

TL;DR: "We need guns to protect us from tyranny" is a well-loved, but poorly-justified, case for the second amendment.

> Actually even this is not enough; there are so many countries that fulfill these criteria and are still terrible.

Relative deprivation drives revolt. Guarantee every Somali exactly $2,500—no more, no less—a year and 99.99% of the population will deify you. Do the same in the US—let's say it's even PPP adjusted—and you'll be dead inside a month, and they may make a national holiday to celebrate the wonderful event that was your assassination. I suppose very very slow changes might not have this effect, but I don't think the effects of climate change will be that slow.

> Why would those in power ever allow a change to a voting system which effectively maintains their existing power structure?

The "American revolution" itself was arguably better called a "war for independence" precisely because it had little effect on who was on top in American society—so, given that heritage, I'm going with "no, definitely not".

> It's encoding an array of values with K distinct possibilities as a base-K number

Yes, and the encoding and decoding step needs to do arithmetic so there's a practical limit to how big these numbers can be. But sometimes you do get some real gains.

According to https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/ $7.85 in 2012 is $9.20 in 2021. So it is cheaper than it was after the last price increase.

They should probably just raise the price every year on a steady schedule to avoid the news.

EDIT: would you work somewhere that could never give you a raise because they are not legally allowed to raise prices?
Python switching all dicts to being ordered is my favorite new feature from the last five years.

It's useful all over the damn place.
That's the wholesale price. When you pay Route53 $12.99, they remit $7.85 to Verisign, who maintains the authoritative registry for the .com TLD.

By jacking up the wholesale rate by 7% (the largest annual increase they're allowed, per their ICANN agreement[1]), every single .com registration and renewal becomes 7% more expensive. Requiring services like Route53 to either pass it through to consumers or eat the cost increase themselves, if they even have the margins to.

Tim O'Reilly's blog post (before this announcement, which likely comes on back of Bezos' final annual letter to shareholders [0]) contrasting Ingram's and Amazon's approach towards the marketplaces they operate in sheds light on why the inclusion of these principles is substantial [1].

Leadership principles, though in tension with each other (and so, some argue they really shouldn't be classified as "principles" but rather "values" [2]), permeates the culture of performance and team building at Amazon; and that makes me think this is not only a welcome but potentially a company-defining change.

While cigarette makers killed hundreds of thousands of humans with their lies and confusion tactics, these fossil fuel barons are destroying our entire ecosystem and ways of life for billions of coastal or equatorial people, hell even the Pacific NW is turning into a desert. All to make a buck so rich fossil fuel magnates get another yacht or another mansion. It's disgustingly selfish.

These principles are intended to help in decision making. The “Strive to be the world best employer is aimed at managers, but also clearly at HR policy makers”

The sarcastic view is that this is just a facade. However, Amazon has historically took its principles very seriously. They believe that the principles made them who they are. Adding something there that they don’t intend to pursue could risk the integrity of this system as a whole
AWS employee here. If you aren't aware, Amazon Leadership Principles are a bit more than the usual wishy-washy "mission statements" you see at a lot of other companies. When I first started I thought they were kind of dumb, but what they do is they give a sort of shared vocabulary when talking to management. It lets you take a position in a way that managers and other employees will take seriously. I've seen people unironically invoke leadership principles in meetings. Saying "I'm going to disagree and commit here" to explain you think a particular decision needs more discussion. Saying we need to "bias for action" when you feel there's too much hesitancy or red tape in the way. And "Customer Obsession" tends to come up a lot when you want to prioritize new features or make improvements. I've personally used that one when people have tried to explain away a bug in a tool or service as you just not using it "properly". Yeah it's a bit silly, but sometimes they are really helpful.
