It had an upfront cost (where all the competing card games are F2P) and a cost to play as well as to acquire cards, which put a lot of people off. It is also a more complex game than say Hearthstone, but I think the success of MOBAs proves

You can do >200k USD TC at a FAAMG in London as a senior if you have multiple offers and negotiate. It's fairly rare, and you'll still be earning below what you'd get in the US, but it does happen.

Boeing really shot themselves in the foot there, although as I understand it they asked for an 80% tariff and the US government instead imposed a 300% one. A reminder of the dangers of protectionism, perhaps, although admittedly the origina

I'm in a similar situation right now. In order to install new software onto my computer I have to get IT to add it to a company-wide whitelist, so I don't bother.

I would imagine it's partly a reflection of the classic Python paradox. Developers who'll go out of their way to learn a new language and paradigm before it's mainstream are more likely to be highly talented. Companies that a

It seems to me that it's not just a conflict of interest, but the interest of the agency is actually diametrically opposed to the interest of the talent. By keeping the pay of the talent they purportedly represent as low as possible, t

I confess, I hadn't finished reading the original article when I posted my previous comment so I was operating under the assumption that ARM single-core performance was significantly further from parity than it apparently is. My origin

This is an argument for 'ARM chips are a viable CPU option in consumer laptops/desktops', but not for the title's original claim.

Uranium and Thorium could be produced by nuclear transmutation in the event we discover some miraculous property they have ten thousand years from now. This is non-trivial, but it's essentially the process used to produce plutonium for

Renewables aren't any better at load following than current nuclear technology, and unlike nuclear energy there's no potential for the development of proposed designs that do have load-following capability. Never mind the fact tha

There's nothing in principle preventing private companies from reprocessing spent nuclear fuel and storing what remains in long-term underground storage. It's just illegal for them to do the reprocessing and too politically unpopu

This argument could be applied to literally every depletable resource in existence. If utilized efficiently with reprocessing and breeder reactors the world's proven Thorium + Uranium reserves would last thousands of years, even poweri

Can you give an example of an industrialized first-world nation using Wind + Solar to provide baseload power on a consistent basis? Because if you can't then they're far from proven as anything more than a partial supplement to ot

It won't make back the 25bn euro development costs, but there's an argument that its beneficial effect on the prestige of Airbus as a manufacturer will eventually make back those costs through increased sales of other aircraft.

My experience with Salesforce (mostly with Marketing Cloud) has been that the developer experience is truly awful. Mediocre documentation, no debugging tools to speak of and systems that never quite do everything you want. Maybe other parts

It will have to happen - the vocal leavers would create an absolute shitstorm if the government even considered reneging on article 50. Even if we weren't in a situation where the leadership of both relevant parties is committed to Bre

Electrification is great, but it's also been declining for decades in the US, to less than one percent of route miles. Taking a figure of half a million dollars per mile (which is less than the numbers I could find, but let's be c

Good enough for 99% of civilian cars, maybe, but I'm a lot more skeptical about the ability of battery-electric power to replace trains, long-haul trucks, etc. The expectation as far as range for those is high enough that enough batter
