According to two sources, Google has apparently been reshuffling the teams that used to form the core of Google+, a group numbering between 1,000 and 1,200 employees.

lmao what a horrendous waste of human life

so with six figure salaries that's a minimum of 100 million every year?

whenever i tried watching anything on twitch the connection's never been stable so i never bothered watching anything or going there

at the same time i don't really give as many fucks about video games these days so

literally the only thing of note out of twitch other than neck beards streaming games was a game of pokemon controlled by the comments

as someone who works with foreign addresses let me assure you that british addresses are notoriously not computer friendly

that said they arent nearly as bad as it gets in the developing world where you get things like "opposite gas station" (india, middle east) or simply [thing] with no number street or anything other than the city (saharan africa)

the weird thing is that with the exception of india former british colonies have probably the most sensible address layouts of anywhere although france and french colonies did a good job too (with the exception of using 9xxxx for every french territory not in france and oh yeah a bunch in france too)

yeah in china i had to find an address for a hotel and it was literally "x street, next to the hospital and the grocery market"
