Restaurant in NYC offshores cashier job to Philippines so they can pay below minimum wage ($3/hr in Philippines)
shouldn't the federal minimum wage apply to everyone who is doing work in the US? This seems like fraud

TF2 is in a near unplayable state. Valve has neglected it and as a result it's not hard for people to bypass the anti-cheat. This has resulted in bots overtaking the game. This has been a problem for years, but there have been some recent pushes to get Valve's attention. First was #savetf2 which resulted in Valve tweeting that the "heard us" and had things planned. Well nothing happened and now we're trying again. #fixtf2 is the newest push and has come with extra steps from the community. Many people, including myself, have switched our reviews of TF2 to negative to hopefully get Valve's attention.

PSA: Don't torrent over TOR
Reply in thread
TCP is a protocol where all the data is verified when sent. There is extra back and forth communication along with the payload to check that the payload arrived safely. Its great for downloading files when you want to make sure nothing is missing or damaged. UDP is more like a constant data stream where the sender doesn't care if it all gets to you. The advantage is that you send less data overall, useful if you don't care if one frame of a video stream looks weird.
One protocol isn't safer than another, its all about how much bandwidth you have/need. Torrenting over TOR uses up way more bandwidth than needed. Depending on the implementation, TCP can use 50% more bandwidth.

That seems malicious, never attribute to malice what you can attribute to incompetence. Valve's non-standard employee structure means nobody has to work on TF2. There are a lot of other fun things to work on at Valve, not some decades old game that doesn't make a ton (relative) of money anymore. This is probably the biggest flaw of Valve.

That sounds like deliberate deception. That's far shittier than being up front. They should have made a PS account optional. Cyberpunk does this, you don't need an account to launch the game.

Pray they don't alter it any further
If you give me what I want to watch and no ad's then I'll pay a fairly high amount for it. The moment there are ad's I'm out. I'm so sick of ad's that are forced on me. Slightly unrelated, but billboards should be banned outright.

He can't pardon himself in these cases. They are New York state felonies, which means the governor of NY would have to pardon him. If they were federal, then he could maybe pardon himself.

I had to do a double take. The photo of the small English town looks almost exactly like a photo I took when I visited. It's Castle Combe, pissed me off to no end to find out there is no castle there. Here's my photo:

Any "undiscovered" games you think deserve more attention?
4D Golf is the most mind-fuck game I've ever played! The end of the game threw me for a loop https://store.steampowered.com/app/2147950/4D_Golf/
Nuclear Blaze is a short but action packed. The art style is also amazing! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1662480/Nuclear_Blaze/

play bot? I'm not quite sure what you mean, but ya all sorts of bots are flooding TF2. There are the normal aim-bots, but they also spam noise makers, voice chat, and text chat. They will also try and vote kick and normal player.
