Then that is kind of fucked up. WotC is the part of the company keeping Hasbro afloat right now. Activist investors had wanted to spin off WotC because the rest of the company is performing that badly.

Firing from WotC makes no sense.

And it is possible there may not be any firings at WotC. This is the only well performing part of Hasbro.

Some intro college CS courses have had to start teaching things like how folder structures work because enough students are missing that basic information.

To add in to it, a lot of the experience during the formative years was with desktop computers. Consoles were there, but had far less capabilities. Handheld devices were generally more expensive compared to today and worse to use.

So you've got a case where young adults today have to work on a computer platform completely foreign to them while young adults 20 years ago usually had 5 - 10 years experience as a user on that platform.

It might have been why in the past, but the issues right now with building new plants is getting a design through production that can survive the review process. Costs come down on the second plant because you have a design you can clone rather than developing it from scratch.

There are already several uses by several countries in using miniature nuclear power plants. This is just an attempt to make it more available to everyone.

I would have been ok if Reddit charged a reasonable rate for its API, even if it was based on having a form of Reddit premium. But the point wasn't that Reddit was charging, it was that Reddit made the price so high that it was wasn't worth it.
