I bring experience that's rare in Australia: I previously led global engineering teams at Uber in the US, operating at a scale and complexity that's hard to match down here. I'm very good at building high-performing teams, working with ambiguous requirements, and delivering under tight deadlines and real pressure. I'm not looking at roles in the gambling space.

I think age verification is the step in the wrong direction but banning algorithmic feeds is the right way to address the issue

Just having more HP doesn't translate to a better car on a race track. There is much more to the performance just pure power-to-weight distribution. There is a reason to enjoy a humble Mazda MX-5 over Tesla 3 performance

It's ICE, they talk about mid engine configuration

As a user of software I see no improvements. What I see is that I need to download software more often, it brings more features I don't need and it has been as buggy as ever (if not more). And I can say that about Operating System I use, social networks, games, etc.

Released my game a few months back. I generally agree with you, however Apple process was more painful / took longer when you start adding in-app-purchases and providing all the financial info required for that to be approved.

And, as I'm doing weekly updates, I found both stores approving builds typically within 12-14 hours which was a nice surprise

In the modern warfare with drones that made "killzone" to be 30-40kms from the frontline, with current russian tactics of infiltration by small groups and inability of them running medivac groups, the ratio of wounded vs dead in casualities are nowhere near to what it was in previous wars. Don't have the exact number but some estimates were 1:1 wounded:dead ratio on Russian side

Should try to use alternative searches. Can recommend Kagi

What are you talking about? Mediazone already has 230k confirmed! russian deaths with names. Current confirmed rate of ~30k/month casualities for Russia couldn't be sustainable for much smaller population of Ukraine if they were trading 1:1 or even worse

A few years back when I worked in the Seattle downtown, I used to have a walk around the office during lunchtime. I still remember seeing a drug addict baking what I assume was heroin just a block away from Pike Place Markets. It's crazy

More importanly they have moat

I'm an Australian who was born in Eastern Europe. I've travelled around the world, lived in the US for 4 years and done a few cross country trips in the US including visiting Texas. With all its pros/cons, my experience there can't be compared to what I had in China

Here is my experience in the center of Shanghai, very subjective of course:

- I can't pay with my credit/debit cards there so I need to get their alipay pay app. There is KYC required to upload my government ID.

- We stayed in a short rent apartment, so we had to temporarily register with government. Of course that requires uploading photos of me, my kids, and all our IDs

- with a lot of apps banned there, you are essentially told which one you have to use

- you need VPN

- you go outside, there is always a police or some security in booth watching you. Of course cameras are also everywhere.

- fences everywhere - don't walk on the nice lawn there, don't sit here, don't stand there. And the moment your kids do - the security / police will come

- lack of public spaces (we couldn't find a playground, the one we eventually found was behind the fence) make the environment hostile and it almost feels like they don't want you outside

I could barely exist in Shanghai when I visited it for a week earlier this year. The surveillance is suffocating. With all my disdain towards the way the West is going, the level of control and freedom can't be compared. Especially if you've ever experienced freedom taken from you (unfortunately, I have).
