Does this constitute war crimes? Can Putin or whoever is responsible be charged in court for this?

I guess keep at least 6 months of savings and reduce expenses would be the best thing to do during downturn. At least that’s what I’ve been doing.

Although Sweden and Finland like to remain neutral, they have to take a side in this in order to avoid more wars, and this is the best time for them to join NATO. They can simply say they’re scared of Russian aggression and are scared their country is going to be invaded by Putin.

I know this seems stupid but if you ban this, League of Legends, Netflix, and a few others, I feel that you might truly impact public opinion.

You it would impact public opinion if the public were Americans. Not in Russia though because Putin is a dictator and has been in power for 18 years and doesn’t care what Russians think of him.

Not to discourage you, but just so you are aware of what you’re getting into, Amazon is notoriously known for their Performance Improvement Plan (PIP). Every review cycle, you are ranked against your peers, and managers have to “PIP” a percentage of the team. Usually it’s the bottom 10%, though I’ve been hearing rumors that now it’s bottom 15%. Because of this quota, managers are forced to “fire” engineers even if they have a super star team, or unless they hire to fire, which is unfortunate but common thing at Amazon. Amazon is a great company and just like any other company, YMMV, but I, along with several of my friends, had the most stressful, worst time of our lives while working at Amazon. Working 10-12 hour days and weekends was very common. YMMV, so negotiate wisely!

Is there a similar link for Google, Bing, and other services? If only someone had a list of these links in GitHub repo.
32mb commented on Ask HN: How is your startup handling customer support?    · Posted by u/cloudking

I used to work for a start up. We did not have support engineers. All tickets went through IT which was one person and then made their ways to dev team. Management wanted to save a few dollars so they didn’t hire any support engineers. Devs were expected to handle escalations on top of their daily tasks. This lead to burn out because deadlines did not move when there were multiple escalations in the same week, which lead to many of the bright engineers leaving the company. If you value your engineer’s time, have a small team to have customer issues.
