Maybe you should dust off your reading compression skills, his paragraph is pretty self explanatory. He is saying that those who speak English usually come from wealthy families and those whealty families have been raised to treat people from lower caste poorly.

So your answer is let every nation that has a nuclear weapon do as it pleases? Can't wait for NK to demand SK or Israel demand Palestine or Iran demand for everyone to be Muslin.

Yes lets just swallow the Cuban propaganda that their medicine is somehow magical and more advanced that every other, and ignore the fact that their government have been surviving as a parasite from other countries, helping the dictators stay in power

Sadly I have found the DDG lacking, most times I have to go back to Google to find information that just doesn't show up on DDG. As an example, I don't have Twitter but I follow certain sport journalist with a huge following, all thanks to his Twitter. When I search for his name + twitter, DDG shows me articles about the journalist and even a Facebook page link, but not his twitter even if it is in the query and his handle is literally his name!

Yes, that is in fact a security gap that can be (and is) exploited. In Europe at least, they bring the payment point to you and you place the card yourself (or ask you to go to the register)

Then you have a vested interest in playing down the effect that this waste of energy bubble had/is.

> They are also not top of the line gpus... which gamers want to buy. older rx470 polaris class gpus are more than enough for large mining farms.

Way off the mark there, gamers not in the 1% don't buy top of the line GPU (as reflected in the Steam survey), they buy the budget to mid range price. When miners started buying GPU left and right in pallets, NVIDEA and AMD saw it and shift the manufacturing to the top of the line GPU where they have the highest margins even if the waffer would yield a lot less, because miners would buy them ASAP anyway. This reduced the amount of lower tier GPUs in the market.

Funny you mention the RX470, a GPU famously never in stock because of this dumb piramid scheme.

Still the same, the more GPUs are added to the network the harder it is to mine, the harder is to mine the more GPUs are added until it is no longer profitable, all this while drawing more power.

2) The latest earning from NVIDIA and AMD showed that about 30% of their GPU were to crypto miners, so no, the shortage was not an exaggeration and certainly not from many years ago.

That depends of the country and its regulation. I get pay extra for my week as oncall, plus a bit for each page outside of working hours. As for the oncall responsabilities, we take it as time to catch up on debt or open tickets, no project work is assigned that week.

AWS works with multiple availability zones (AZ) per region, some products by default deploy in several ones at the same time, while others leave it up to you.

A lot of services that I don't want then to have my PII are starting to ask for phone verification.

Now add cost of private insurance, COL, cost of houses. Then calculate how much of those pesky taxes in Germany go towards real infrastructure compared to the US.

I'm a FAANG engineer in Europe and I can tell you I'm not a lower class grunt like you imply everyone in here ;)

> In Europe you will be low middle class for at least 10 years and then middle class for the rest. Considering US standards.

> There is no mobility in Europe and even if you are promoted taxes will take care of that.

This is nonsense to the highest level considering we are talking about a family of a PM and a SDE.

OP disregard the parent comment because he is clearly out of his depth talking about life in Europe.

Good SDEs can pick good compensations in Europe to be able to afford a house and more.

I found most of your complains either false or non issue:

1. Ok, maybe a bug.

2. Given that is a mobile game and most people will no have the volume up, it is ok to have subtitles. Not to mention that games that start with subtitles are more accessible and the majority of players actually don't mind them and find them useful.

3. Fair, but given that this is a mobile game, V-sync can be a problem for lower end devices too.

4. False? I cleared the first mission and had no prompt for that and has not requested tracking at all. Android.

5. The hell you talking about? When you start you get a small cut scene and are given full control when they drop you off the ship.

6. The game is mostly online for what I can tell so updates are a given (and you can download areas separately)

Because the monetization mechanics in this games rely on predatory practices employed by casinos which we already regulate?
