Also none of the sources linked there mention anything about trans women.

Well their requirement for looking into it is probably not restricted to "payments with labels referencing the taliban" but something more broad.

Why wouldn't it?

I try to write the extended "Lots of Love" now instead of shortening it to "lol" every time.

Tbf as long as it doesn't go public it will probably be fine regardless of who takes the job. It doesn't take a genius to keep up the good work in a company that can afford to plan long time.

A lot of times he couldn't figure things out by himself. They made a big point of his team being there to complete him, not just to do what he told them to.

In the season where they were looking for a new team member there was one candidate that was pretty much a 1:1 copy of House, who got the best evaluations in the tests and stuff, but in the end got disqualified for "what use is there in someone who'll think of the same stuff as me?"

Government sees this and thinks: time to make college more expensive and regulate more professions to require college.

His mother had him when he was 17?

Tldr: "Colossal Order took a gamble on Unity’s new and shiny tech, and in some ways it paid off massively and in others it caused them a lot of headache."

Said new tech made the game much lighter on the CPU and able to simulate things with much more detail, but Unity never integrated it properly with everything else in the engine, so Cities' devs had to basically fill in a lot of gaps, with a lot less expertise in engine making. It turned out understandably inefficient.

Google actively blocked a ton of their stuff from being accessed from windows phones. They even deprecated some communication protocols in gmail to ensure some features of Microsoft's mail app would not work with Gmail (and then Microsoft found a way to make it work with an alternative protocol and Google went ahead and dropped that too).

YouTube could only be used in internet Explorer. Google refused to let Microsoft make a client for it or do one themselves. Some folks created third party clients for it but Google was quick to block them too.

Then Pokémon Go came out for iOS and Android and it was the nail on the coffin.

Edit: I forgot to mention Instagram, it was a big part of it too. I think this was before Facebook acquired them, because Facebook (and Twitter) were VERY well integrated into Microsoft apps on top of having their own apps available.

In general windows phone was the easiest platform to make apps for (I made a few), but there was a lot of sabotage from those big names. I was very conflicted because in one hand, Microsoft was tasting a bit of their own venom - as they had done the same sort of stuff so many times before, but in the other hand windows phone really felt like the best mobile OS and I wanted it to stay relevant.

It can't be more than a few minutes old, since they don't have fridges there and ice melts pretty quick.
