While I admittedly do not know any of the inside details, but if you read up on some of the "Glass Door" reviews on Gravity Payments, you'll see a trend of reviews commenting on the cult-like behaviour of the company. I'd suggest doing your own research on companies you apply to before you get mesmerized by their media publicity.


There appears to be a glitch / bug here. When the map first loads, it states the data is for 2018 and lists 50 countries, but the 49th country is blank and there are only 34 circles on the map. When you switch the year to anything else and switch back to 2018, the list has been truncated to 34 countries.


According this article (https://www.businessinsider.com/us-gun-death-murder-risk-sta...) your chances of dying from a motor vehicle incident is approximately three times higher than dying from a gun assault.


I'm not sure that's entirely accurate, I would have assumed the chances of dying by gun assault was even lower. How was the probability of dying from a gun assault calculated? With car accidents you can generally assume random distribution, but you have to do some math with gun statistics before you can assume random distribution (remove suicides, remove gang-related deaths, etc.)


I'd be surprised if car accidents were randomly distributed. But assuming GP is correct, or even assuming you are correct that it's an even bigger difference, I'd argue that both are way too high, and that the gun deaths even being in the same order of magnitude as car deaths is entirely preventable, and pretty shocking in itself.


Great game! Reminds me of Gravitee which was also a blast to play, but requires Flash https://www.kongregate.com/games/funkypear/gravitee


It exploits the bootrom, which is by definition unpatchable.


I suspect Apple has ways from the factory to fix this. Secure Fuses that can disable code paths, or inject code. But unpatchable in the field.


Future devices can be fixed at the factory. That still leaves tens of millions of vulnerable devices which are, as repeated before, unpatchable.


In the factory, Apple can just create new hardware without this flaw.


That would be in the fab, not the factory, might mean tossing out inventory, and will take longer. I'm guessing they will do both.

ZAS is a good example of blinking backgrounds quickly to introduce more complex backgrounds:

Polymer banknotes are perhaps more environmentally friendly compared to its counterpart due to its durability (resulting in fewer banknotes being manufactured). They can also be recycled after its life in circulation. On the other hand, cotton/linen banknotes are typically shredded and landfilled after their circulation life.


What is wrong with landfilling biodegradable material?



It would be better if they composted it.


Ironically, it would seem that their name Khara was derived from a greek word (χαρά) meaning "joy".


Not sure if this was intended, but interestingly, the company name in the native Japanese katakana notation, カラー, is indistinguishable from the English word "Color" due to the lossiness of katakana sounds. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khara_(studio)


Is this "Hyborian War"? http://www.reality.com/hwprul1.htm


Yes, that’s it. It was actually and ancient program and I remember finally playing a mud version once I got to college.
