Same thing where I work. The last H1B notice I saw was for a junior web developer. It's pretty simple work, but the pay wasn't any better than what you'd get taking a government job that requires similar experience. The wo

It simplifies developing cross-platform native apps. Imagine electron apps, except it uses less resources, and has a consistent look and feel with the rest of the OS. You also don't have to pay if you don't want, but Qt is licen

If he really wanted to be treated as a whistleblower, he should have only leaked the specific things that he took issue with, not grab anything he could get his hands on and give it out. For example, there's no good reason for him to

I guess it's suprising if you've never looked into it, but even back when their only game was Ingress, it was a gamified way of giving them location data that they can sell to help optimize mapping software. I guess I had my first

IIRC, the men would go fishing or diving for seafood, and the women would mainly stay at home fixing things like fishing nets, preparing food, or gathering fruit. Most of the child rearing was done by female teenagers instead of adults.

I had to read a book about a tribe in the pacific islands, and they were more open about sex, but they still had some rules. For example, having multiple partners was considered immature behavior that is only acceptable for teenagers. Onc

Protesting against Blizzard may not do enough to have an impact, but it certainly helps. Here's a short article where they claim that the way China dealt with the NBA was doing them more harm than good, so the government started tryin

Normally I'd agree with you, but when we find out that companies like Moviepass were locking active customer's accounts to save money, I'm not ready to give Blizzard the benefit of the doubt.

I liked Artifact quite a bit, but I'll admit that it wasn't "fun" at all to me. I played it for the challenge, similar to how people will go to the gym, do puzzles, or do difficult hikes. They marketed it as a fun game

That's the thing, you can't ignore how a game feels to the players. In Artifact's case, it has a lot of very up front RNG, but on paper, it's balanced. It just feels unbalanced because people mainly remember when they

My wife heard about it, and she doesn't follow any gaming at all. She said that writers and beauty bloggers she follows on twitter were talking about it. US politicians from both sides of the isle were criticizing Blizzard as well.

A card game designed by Richard Garfield (creator of Magic: The Gathering) and Valve. It was super hyped up pre-release, then became a massive failure due to Valve ignoring tons of negative feedback and thinking that they know better than

Some things that weren't covered in this article. The beta players said that Valve largely ignored their feedback, and only made trivial changes. Richard Garfield said in an interview that people consistently didn't like some asp

Valve is known for not forcing their employees to work crazy hours, but that might have hurt their ability to keep people playing. Less than a month after Artifact launched, everyone went on Christmas/New Years vacation, leaving a 3 w

Considering that a big chunk of what was publicized was lies and deliberate misquotes, I think it'd be best if the GNU project said specifically what their issues are.

The counter argument I've heard to that is that there is no such thing as an unbreakable lock. If someone is doing something illegal in a building, the government can eventually get in. Strong encryption is effectively unbreakable, a

What if the government decided that you can use E2E encryption, but only using encryption protocols they are capable of cracking? Like, you could only use DES for your E2E encryption. That'd be similar to how gun control is now; you&

I think they're referencing that 1488 is used to represent neo-nazi beliefs. I don't know if they're trying to imply that that people that did the studies are neo-nazis, and selected that number of configurations and trials

It looks to me like he ran in to try and protect the police officer that was surrounded on the ground, and didn't fire until he was attacked. I don't know the context around this specific event, but it doesn't look like the

Not to defend what the police have been doing overall during this protest, but in this specific incident you can see the protestors beating a police officer on the ground, and the protestor who got shot was swinging a metal pipe at the poli

You should read his actual emails, he never defended Epstein. Sites were just parroting what they read on a medium article written by someone with an axe to grind who'd never met RMS.
