#16 Huawei vs The USA in Hardware
setsul next one will be called is probably a Sophia (France) design again so Trump can't do jack shit

don't be so quick to think USA can't coerce European Union into doing what they want (ex : Alstom, coercing ARM, T-Mobile vs Huawei, etc). From what I understood this ARM decision has nothing to do with the USA based ARM design office, but is relative to the whole company.

What trade war are you talking about?

@Screwball : yes I see what you mean, it's kind of obvious that USA does shady shit. At this point I think everyone here knows it. Which makes Nub_Danish comments about "big bad chinese dictatorship" a bit laughable.

#3 Huawei vs The USA in Hardware

Why do you talk specifically about Stuxnet regarding this problem? It is not the only thing the US has done to keep some kind of hegemony/spying advantage. What do you think is going to happen now?

For those not wanting to watch 17 mins of video, this comment resumes it :

#1 Huawei vs The USA in Hardware

Who will win?

Side question, how much of ARM instruction set is legally protected? Can Huawei copy/rename the arm instructions, make their toolchain, and pretend to have their own cpu design?

Post before Setsul : use layman terms please I'm not some hardware expert ty

#21 Announcing ETF2L Season 33 in TF2 General Discussion
funhaver1998Why do u want these things Twiggy? Why u want a second KOTH map just for the sake of having one?

For playoffs, I find it lame when a team can bypass training a whole gamemode by banning one map. A winner of some 6s championship should be the best everywhere and over all of the game. 6s is both 5cp and koth. The more diverse the game is, the more skill and knowledge is required, and the more room there is for team to differenciate.

Besides, from a spectator point of view, koth maps offer a different kind of entertainment, nail-biting situations to promoting offence.

#18 Announcing ETF2L Season 33 in TF2 General Discussion
etf2l all maps will be available in playoffs where maps can be picked and banned

FUCKING YES

I'm also curious about how which maps are played twice will get decided.

#11 IRL Leadership Classes and TF2 in TF2 General Discussion
owlTwiggyIt's easier at the workplace though, people are contracted for a job and must do it if they want to keep it. "Forcing" someone half a continent away to show up on time on their own free time, or do thing X, for free, is a bit harder.
it is absolutely easier to convince people to show up at night and play video games than it is to get them to put in real effort at work

Tell me about your story.
I work as a developer, where the trend is this agile development methodology. Besides other things, it involves daily reports where you must tell what you've done yesterday and what you'll do today, and you work on small tasks which length has been estimated beforehand. So not completing the tasks on time, or getting exposed telling bullshit excused to justify not working results in a lot of pressure and scrutiny on you. That's the lever that keeps me working, and I don't see any equivalent for that for hobbies (and that's good).

Maybe teammates share most of your team's goal but aren't as keen as you to absolutely show up on time, or devote time to review their demos, or whatever else. What are you gonna do then? If my employer cuts me, he has easy access to other developers. If you cut a player it's not as easy to find a replacement who agrees on your team's goals and rules.

In my own experience, I had enough trouble finding similar players in terms of dm and gamesense to assemble a balanced roster where nobody would feel like he's carrying a bunch of idiots to not really have much authority to set team grounds like "watch your demos" or "always be there on time".

#19 im really f*cking happy in Off Topic

what I meant was what you think work is like when you go to "study the subject you love" and work reality are two different things and can lead to disgust, burnout, or else. Especially when you study philosophy, which is not a job in itself, but useful knowledge in a wide array of jobs.

Like others I agree with everything. Being a leader requires some fortitude, because even when you do follow those principles, you still do not have any way of forcing your teammates to invest themselves for the team. Sure you might lay down the rules clearly, but you can't always afford to cut those who don't behave, simply because finding better replacements is very hard or impossible.

I especially struggled at responsabilizing people in game. When maincalling I would tell "sac john and michael at 9:40", and then at 9:35 nothing would have happened. Without bashing hard I would then remind them in the next downtime "we said we sacked john and michael at 9:40 and nothing happened", but this wouldnt be followed by any more involvment the next time we needed to make the same play, even with john and michael (seemingly) agreeing.

And what do you do when the team's performance does not match the expectations? Discuss who to cut?

This is also an argument to be used against iron bomber, as it makes building with rollers way easier, and costs less health than building with the loose cannon.
