If I read the article correctly, they handed the hiring committee /their own/ anonymized packets and the committee chose to only hire 1/3 of themselves. That mean numer 2 is not the case. Presumably the hiring committee prepared for their interviews of they passed their rounds.
Number 1 can still be true, and likely is. But then what's the point of using dated packets to test the hiring committees calibration?
See my further reply, margin of 20% give or take 10% depending on scale (on average, some products obviously have incredibly high or low margins as is typical in the creative industry).
My point about revenue was that games are pulling in more money than film and TV and we all know they cost less to make, and film and TV has good pay so therefore the games industry can afford similar rates, if not more.
Hmm compared to film/entertainment yes, but from the perspective of an individual developer worker, your alternatives are not just in film/entertainment
Putting the generic term into your corporation's name can be effective means of claiming things that don't belong to you.
Jon Postel reserved 44.0.0.0/8 for a generic purpose: "amateur radio digital communications." Decades later, there was a successful heist when some enterprising individuals who had incorporated "Amateur Radio Digital Communications" misrepresented to ARIN that the assignment had actually been theirs. Immediately after ARIN gave them transfer rights, they pocketed 8 figures reselling the space to Amazon.
Github obviously isn't making explicit claims like this but they benefit whenever people with purchasing power implicitly understand that github is the only option.
edited: Amateur Radio Digital Communications is not an LLC
This lengthy email thread[0] indicates that Jon Postel made the assignment in 1992, that the entity "Amateur Radio Digital Communications" wasn't formed until years later, meaning Jon's assignment had to have been for a purpose and not to an entity of the same name.
The head of ARIN defends[1] the transfer throughout the thread.
From your earlier comment it sounded like there was a "heist" simply based on having a similar name. Looking into it though, it seems like the ARDC non-profit did a pretty reasonable job of proving they were the same folks who'd been managing the IP block for decades. Also, has there been any sort of allegation that they've misused the funds? From what I understand they've pretty consistently used the funds to support amateur radio.
That assumption has come up in almost every conversation I’ve ever had with semi-technical people regarding git, so the confusion is just a fact. It happens so often, I think Linus (or whoever controlled the git trademarks at the time) should have demanded GitHub change their name when it was launched.
You are less charitable than me. Maybe I'll adopt your approach. I first give an app the benefit of the doubt and go into the apps notification preferences and see if I can fine-tune their notifications. If not, off for all at the OS-level. If yes, I tweak it, but if I get surprised by one later, off for all at the OS-level or uninstall. It's especially annoying because I don't have notifications shown on my home screen and need to unlock with a pin so if I go through the trouble of unlocking my phone to spam and I extra annoyed with the app.
It's not insurmountable. Spam filters have been around for decades. They're pretty good. If I didn't expect the email, I train my spam filter that it's a bad email. There are a few that get through, maybe 1-5 a week, which require flagging.
The checkboxes seem to be a placebo. Sometimes there isn't one. Sometimes it doesn't do anything. Sometimes they say "updates on your order", which apparently also means future products you might want to buy a week after you receive your order. (Marketers' English seems like a foreign language to me).
