It's not the size, it's the scale. Back then things were built with future in mind. These days it's about solving today's problem and screw tomorrow because we don't want to be seen spending more than we need.

Famously the Sydney harbour bridge in the 30s was built with 8 lanes, 2 trains, and a dedicated cycle track and pedestrian track. These days we solve congestion problems by spending millions to widen a road by one lane, only to have to start the project again when we're finished because in the 5 years it took to widen the road the traffic has increased yet again.

The CEO being new doesn't narrow things down much in this case.

Maybe the new CEO is getting rid of the bottom performing 20%.
Maybe the new CEO is reducing headcount by 20%.

Either case is common for new management, but both cases are handled very VERY differently from all sorts of legal perspectives.

Sure but first lets do a study on race designation to see if it's worthwhile. In the case of gender it has already been done, and gender segregation appears to be significantly benefit the learning environment.

The key is choice. I would have been supremely pissed if there was only one choice, but there's not.

Yeah I know. I totally wanted to go to an all girls school when I was younger, but alas I am male.
But really that was unfair. The local all girls school had far better grades, why shouldn't I be allowed to go there?

Now I have a question for you: Would your sun benefit from going to a programming school setup for an all girls environment taught specifically in ways to maximise female learning?

People are not the same. This is just one step towards personalised learning. Find your son an appropriate school elsewhere, because I guarantee you there will be nothing magical about sending him to this school. If for some reason people don't hire people because they didn't attend this school, then start to worry.

I live in a country where about half of the schools are mixed, and the other half is one of either single genders. Some teachers union (my wife is a teacher I don't know exactly what the source was) did a study and determined that gender segregation benefits girls in terms of academic performance, but hurts boys for the same.

The wife's guess (who has taught at mixed and gender segregated schools) is that boys get competitive around girls, which seems to make some sense.

From what I recall the whole reason these blocks were put in place was due to Microsoft not abiding by the terms and conditions that Youtube require i.e. bypassing advertisements on Windows phones for Youtube.

This isn't even a pot and kettle issue, it's a sad bully who's crying that someone hit him back.

Monopolies are not inherently bad, they just need to be regulated. Monopolies exist in every market and every country around the world both on the local level and the global level. The only time you need to worry is if there's an abuse of disproportionate market power.

Typically the resulting regulation sits on price as a monopoly is likely to drive that up. The second monopoly is on anti-competitive practices against competitors. Given how much I pay Google to use their services I don't really see a problem (yet).

I spoke plural you spoke singular. They made more then one game. Yeah Borderlands Pre wasn't as good as Borderlands 2. Bioshock Infinite on the other hand was critically acclaimed and in one case even rated the best game of the generation of consoles at the time.

Not my information. The source is stated. Take it up with them.

And then come back and tell me where all these exciting $200k/y + jobs are at.

A backup is nice but from a control perspective when you have an unstable control scheme additional power (gain) is about the worst possible situation.

The problem occurred because of an overshoot of a control reaction. The only thing achieved by better thrusters would be more overshoot.

I changed because the page gave me the results I was looking for. It had nothing to do with load times.

People complain and never praise. If you look at any kind of feedback system you will always get overwhelming hatred for everything for that reason. The question is was there enough hatred by a large enough number of people compared to the standard userbase?

There's a whole industry dedicated to facilitating change management due to people's psychological reaction to change. They go through stages and the last stage is ultimately acceptance or outright rejection.

Has Google's market share dropped as a result of the change? If not, why would they take on any feedback from people?

Oh man, you're never going to fly again once you realise that the cabin pressure is regulated by taking some of the air ingested by the engines from between the first 2 stages. You are literally breathing the same air as the engine.

This was the studio that brought us Bioshock: Infinite. I still remember that game blowing my mind which was a pleasant change from the general crap that had been released in the past few years.

2k Australia did both. Their games were funny, thoughtful, and really enjoyable despite their big budget.
