One of the worst parts about shopping on Amazon is that there’s no one to talk to when things go wrong. Or is there?
Gallup’s Civic Engagement Index tracks how many people around the world donate, volunteer, and help strangers
Americans may have given a domestic record-breaking $410 billion to charity in 2017, but total cash isn’t necessarily the best measure of generosity. Factor in what percent of each country’s population is donating, volunteering, and helping strangers, and you can calculate a measure of how generous in spirit various populations are.
Organizers in northern Virginia, Nashville, and New York plan to protest the expansion of Amazon at meetings this week–and call for a community input process that has been noticeably lacking.
It’s been just over month since Amazon announced the end of its the protracted search for its second headquarters and announced it would be expanding to Long Island City, New York, and Crystal City, Virginia, and adding an “operations hub” in Nashville. But rather than acclimating to the idea of Amazon in their midst, organizers in the three cities are doubling down on resisting it.
The famed director shared a special friendship with Carrie Fisher.
Fans are paying tribute to Penny Marshall today after the comedic actress-turned-powerhouse-director passed away at the age of 75. Marshall rose to fame as one half of the 1970s sitcom duo Laverne & Shirley before going on to direct big-budget Hollywood movies at a time when few women did. Thirty years ago, her comedy Big, starring Tom Hanks, went on to become the first female-helmed movie to gross more than $100 million at the box office. (It also happens to be the best of the body-switch genre that became all the rage in the late 1980s.)
Conservative nonprofits, such as ALEC, that support an anti-regulatory agenda, received more than $3 million in donations from high-profile telecom trade groups whose members include Verizon, AT&T, and Comcast, helping their efforts to secure the repeal of net neutrality policies last year.

The script includes a “single mother refilling snow globes with Christmas juice,” of course.
If you watch enough hours of Hallmark’s (or Lifetime’s or Netflix’s) Christmas movies, you’ll start to see a pattern: There’s a recently widowed mother or a driven career woman who loses track of the true meaning of Christmas due to a dead husband and/or demanding boss only to be saved by a Christmas miracle, usually in the form of a man with seasonal issues to work out. Christmas carols, childhood flashbacks, snow, and magical snow globes usually make an appearance, too.
These maps helped visualize all the happiness, heartbreak, terror, and turmoil that 2018 has wrought.
As 2018 draws to a close, it’s hard not to look back with a surreal sense of time displacement. Was the PyeongChang Olympics really only this year? Or the midterms? Or the shooting in Parkland, Florida, that left 17 people dead? Watershed events tend to blend into each other with kaleidoscopic perplexity when the typical news cycle lasts only a few hours.
The congresswoman-elect needs a few days to recharge.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is taking a few days off at the holiday for self-care. It’s an important step for anyone who wants to ward off burnout, and the newly elected Congresswoman is a prime candidate for burnout–what her with being in a brand new job that has put a lot on her plate, thrown her into prolonged pressure, and put her under constant scrutiny before she has even officially started.

3D printers aren’t just for DIY doodlers. They can help seniors and others with limited mobility manufacture cheap gadgets for doing routine tasks like opening jars and putting on socks.
Senior citizens might really like–and use–a 3D printer. That’s the surprising, and money-saving, conclusion of a new study I coauthored: 3D printers can save arthritis patients money by more cheaply manufacturing plastic gadgets that help them do routine tasks like open jars and put on socks.
A CEO and head of HR share what they ask job candidates in interviews in order to gauge their focus and hesitations early on.
When it comes to recruitment, good hiring managers look beyond credentials and the idea of finding someone they’d want to “grab a couple of beers with.” That kind of approach is rife with unconscious bias and isn’t always an accurate prediction of how good they’ll be as an employee.
He is suing for defamation, accusing the documentarians of depicting him as a corrupt officer.
It appears as though the makers of Making a Murderer may have cut some corners, if not quite as many as their titular subject.
Data privacy is on everybody’s minds these days. But while some companies see this as impeding growth, smart business leaders are embracing it to spur innovation.

These conflicting demands can make it challenging for companies to determine how best to both protect and make use of their customers’ data. They can also make it challenging to innovate, as executives balance privacy concerns with product development.
“These are the smartest light electric vehicles that have ever been built,” says its creator. Is it enough to help Uber win bike sharing?
Uber may want to win the self-driving car wars, but first it faces a battle over electric bikes and scooters. Earlier this year, it acquired the electric bike-sharing service Jump for $200 million. Today, leveraging an engineering staff that’s grown by four times since the purchase, Jump is launching a completely redesigned electric bike, aiming to make scaling its business more feasible–and riding more pleasant for users.
No one can be a bad boss on their own. Here’s how you might be unknowingly enabling destructive behavior, and what you can do to make a change.
Dishonesty, disagreeableness, and carelessness are not traits you want in a boss, but a collection of research published in Frontiers in Psychology finds that employees can enable these three “nightmare traits” in a boss and make them worse. If the employee has anxiety or low self-esteem, or if they ignore bad leadership behavior, the combination of leader and follower can be lethal.
Governor Andrew Cuomo’s platform looks vaguely familiar.
Cynthia Nixon may have lost the Democratic primary to unseat incumbent Governor Andrew Cuomo (D-NY), but that hasn’t stopped her from setting the agenda for the state.
