If their infrastructure is tightly coupled to a cloud provider in a single region then that's what they need to be work on and not necessarily their AI policy.

> If they want to attract more tech workers they really need to up their salaries.

Having a good salary is important but the work-life balance is just as important, if not more. I lived in Japan for a years (not as a dev, am now); I can make do with a lower salary due to healthcare being mostly sorted (you pay 30%, government pays 70%) and a good standard of living (better than London IMO), but I don't want to work absurd hours and deal with a toxic working culture, alongside a low salary.

I've met many talented women in Japan via Meetups and Women Who Code Tokyo and there's definitely no shortage of great developers. People just want a fair work-balance and an honest salary, which they are more likely to find at a gaishikei (foreign-run company)

This is a great idea and I wish we had this in the UK. I was quoted £65 to replace my failing, right AirPod and £130 to replace both of them when RRP for new ones are £160.

I'd much rather replace the batteries of my existing ones then buy a new pair but with such a small price difference to get a pair it doesn't seem worth it.

> In fact, many things at Lambda School are working very well, and we believe we're on the path to proving this model successful and sustainable.

While that may be true (doubt it), I work at a startup with about 150 employees and if we lost 32% of our employees I'd be polishing my CV and wondering when I'll be cut loose. That's not to mention all the negative stories coming out of Lambda School.

That's fair for law documents; in the same way I'd expect your peers to understand your SQL.

I just wish privacy policies, which are supposed to be for consumers, were written in the plain English.

> Imagine: casual and coffee shop-style seating, private space for heads-down focusing, larger bookable resources and collaboration spaces for teams to strategically meet IRL, and no more fixed desks—we’ll have neighborhoods for teams to gather and bookable desks for employees working in the office.

As much as I'm supportive of having flexible working and with that flexible office space, I really don't like the idea of non-fixed desks/hotdesking. Ergonomics and having a correct desk setup up for your needs is incredibly important and something we don't value as much as we should.

I'm 50/50 on whether I'd like to go to back to the office in the future (not having to take the tube in London is massive plus) but if I do I'd want my own desk setup, monitors set up at my required height and a comfortable chair. Hopefully that's not much too much to ask?

Yes, it was an in-game event via their Party Royale game mode. Should be up on YouTube relatively soon - it was only a minute or so long.

Looks like this was the plan all long. Now to see whether or not the risk of implementing their own payments system for V-Bucks is worth the potential revenue loss they will incur with the app being removed from the store.

> When my PS4 Pro is playing stuff like TLOU2, it sounds like it's going to start hovering off my TV cabinet.

I have the CUH-7200 PS4 Pro model which is apparently the quietest model and it's insane how loud that thing gets when I played TLOU2.

The copying times for updates/patches is equally bad with downloading taking a few minutes and copying times taking more than 20mins. There's clearly alot of room for improvement - At least Sony have realised this as the PS5 will have a SSD instead of a HDD.
