    Overwatch

    You're really going to say MMR == skill for a pro player who spends the vast, vast majority of his gametime in unranked custom games scrimming? Even with that according to master overwatch seagull is #33 with only about 50 ranked games played.

    Overwatch

    Seagull also has the luxury of being the best player in almost every game he plays. At more middling MMR where everyone is more or less equally good/bad having an inferior hero can really be a detriment. I forget who said it but Symettra plays out like a "win harder" hero. If your team is...

    This may not be in the right place. Basically my wife is now working from home. We are sharing the same desk with my gaming rig. She is using the same keyboard and monitors. It is becoming a pain constantly unhooking shit. Am I looking at a KVM switch to avoid this hassle? Basically what...

    What's going on at Blizzard?

    That list seems a bit odd. I figured my guild wouldn't be well represented since we had to deal with Ascent and Fury and they indeed took up most of the spots. But our lone guy from the guild on the list I think was our rogue's hunter alt. Maybe he started maining him during Naxx I honestly...

    What's going on at Blizzard?

    Yeah how could Legion's endgame ever compete with the juggernaut of Vanilla. There was so much to do! Like ... Molten core! Or getting attuned for MC! Or ... or ... running ... um. Eventually BWL and AQ! Then Naxx! All in the span of years. So much endgame.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    You get your bonus forecasted out. From what I understand from my manager they generally are a tad conservative so you get about 10% more on average than what you're told. However if a game does better than forecasted like Overwatch then there is more money to go around. Right now my profit...

    The bonuses for the OW launch have already gone out. I will get in on the Legion bonuses, though.

    The Night Of

    Their reasonable doubt defense was all over the place. They went shallow on a bunch of topics but never went deep on anyone. It felt like they were just firing a machine gun hoping one would stick. They never gave me anything more than "There is a chance it could be this guy" instead of...

    The Night Of

    I'm aware the picture they were painting. I'm also aware they lead you to think the entire time Naz didn't do it. I'm just saying the entire thing was poorly told if that is the ultimate outcome. A missing knife means absolutely nothing to me. That is the most fictionalized legal defense...

    The Night Of

    The evidence against him was a mountain, though. The defense's entire attempt at speculating doubt hinged upon pure conjecture without any facts to back it up. Also as the audience we never found out if he didn't do it or not. His entire personal defense was "I don't remember." He just as...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    There was a whole write up by an accomplished Indian programmer on reddit a while back about why outsourced code is so poor and why most Indian developers are poor. Basically it boiled down to being a SW developer is just the best job you can have in India but very few have passion for it. So...

    Overwatch

    Many are open tournaments. Its just that this game requires an enormous amount of practice and coordination so it is very, very difficult for a lesser skilled newer team to take out a titan.

    I had an unlimited AT&T plan until last year. I got off it once I realized I was using like 400mb of data a month and it was way more expensive than a capped plan.

    What do you do?

    Having just moved to Southern California seeing foreigners in super high end cars is now an hourly thing. It was really, really prominent at my temporary housing apartment. Literally people parking high end BMWs randomly like they were pieces of shit. The underground parking lot was littered...

    What do you do?

    My information came from reddit when the law was passed so I may have an incomplete or flat out wrong info. I'll try and dig it back up. Here it is. Maybe someone more informed about law could confirm / deny. Vancouver slaps 15% tax on foreign home buyers • /r/Economics

    I'll know more once I get a paycheck with all my 401k and insurance deductions. So far it doesn't look too terrible but I came in knowing that the base pay increase I was getting was pretty much just going to offset CA taxes. Hopefully with bonuses I'll be clearing enough to justify the move...

    What do you do?

    Again I don't know the ins-and-outs but places like Vancouver have imposed taxes on foreigners buying property. But the laws are ridiculously easy to bypass. You basically just form an LLC with a Canadian resident for the sole purpose of buying the property. Since the LLC meets requirements...

    What do you do?

    I don't know all the details but I know it is fairly common for Chinese millionaires to buy property in luxury zip codes. I know Vancouver is pretty big for them as is a ton of places in southern California.

    I'd probably give it lower. More like 6/10. It had me gripped for a bit but in the end nothing felt tied up.

    Syncing Files between home and office.

    Yeah as long as it doesn't worry you that the files are in the cloud (may be compromised if you have trade secrets/ confidential info) just use DropBox. And honestly for your small business I probably wouldn't even be concerned about compromise.

    I wasn't even all about this show from the start like some in the thread. I actually thought the middle picked up when they started to introduce new suspects.
