It is a relatively simple formula that is very combat heavy with extremely simple economy. The campaigns are excellent though and as long as the true randomness of attacks/defense doesn't drive you crazy it is a lot of fun. Very challenging and has real strategic and tactical depth as well as pretty well balanced.
I personally never did multiplayer but last I checked the multiplayer community was pretty healthy.
The interesting part as far as the salaries they are not obscene. Many of the people who started learning at women who code could easily be making more than the CEO by now.
I mean, quite a bit of that stuff people pay premium for is already counterfeit even at stores like whole foods. I don't know how common it is, but it does exist.
> Apple offers quite a bit of free software when you purchase their hardware. This includes OS upgrades and their office suite as well as Xcode and Garage Band, among other things. It's quite nice and they are well made.
Most of that is not "free software" in the way this blog post is talking about (FOSS). XCode has FOSS components, parts of the OS are FOSS, etc. However, much of it is not.
I think it'd go a long way to make laws that require software that is embedded on devices to 1. be patchable by the user and 2. The software has to be open source if the company is no longer able to maintain it.
Maybe your area really sucks, but i've never had the misfortune to work at jobs even half as bad as the two you've described here. I'm not in a tech hub at all.
> indicating she no longer thinks her accusations hold any water
This is the only thing in your summary I disagree with. From my reading of the issue and knowledge from following it I think Leah still very much believes in her accusations. She just has realized that at this point even if she's right nothing positive is going to happen and realizes she handled the whole situation awfully so is apologizing for that.
I didn't read anything that suggested that she didn't think the accusations were true anymore.
If your definition of trivially easy is hiring a lawyer and waiting months or longer for a trial all while having a hard/impossible time to hold a job. You'd still have no guarantee of winning either.
