Taskbar icons in the middle are a symbol of general direction Windows is going towards. It's the tipping point where we say enough is enough. We're tired of anti-consumer changes. It's different from Vista or 8 which failed despite MS believing in it. This time MS gives us shit and they know it and they don't care. Microsoft doesn't hold the entire PC OS market hostage like it was the case only ten years ago, and if your use case is development + video games + porn, then Linux is a viable option, which definitely wasn't the case ten years ago.
Yes, I remember a friend that interned there a couple times showed me that. One of them was “list comprehensive python” and the Google website would split in 2 and give you some really fun coding challenges. I did a few, and you get 4(?) right you get a guaranteed interview I think. I intended to come back and spend a lot of time on an additional one, but I never did. Oops
I think I only did three or something and I didn't hear back from them. Honestly my view of Google is that they aren't as cool as they think they are. My current position allows me to slack off as much as I want and it's hard to beat that, even if they offer more money (they won't in the current market).
Not to mention two giant problems with the entire scientific community:
1. It just sucks at communication. Many people have been misled because marketeers lied to them "it's scientifically proven!" while scientists did nothing to fix that, because they only cared about preserving communication channels between themselves. The mistrust in science is obvious if you take this into account.
2. At the end of the day, scientists are people who have their biases and weaknesses. There have been well-documented cases of the entire scientific community doing a massive fuckup. So when now a bunch of scientists come and say "trust us bro, this time it's legit" it's reasonable to be sceptical.
Buying an OLED screen three years ago was the best tech investment in a long time. Nowadays most tech is "the same, but 5% faster" while OLED truly felt like a revolution. For a year after buying it I was still excited about it. Whenever I use LCD panels I feel pain in my everything. The fact that Ally X uses an LCD panel is its worst problem.

I'm sure there are popular Italian websites behind CloudFlare. Say, train tickets. Probably not, but just for the sake of the argument.
1. Order comes to block address 69.69.69.69 within 30 minutes
2. Quickly switch Trenitalia to 69.69.69.69. Which is fine, because CloudFlare probably doesn't promise you any specific IP address, so they can assign them from the pool as they please.
3. Block 69.69.69.69.
4. In the whole country everyone who tries to buy a train ticket or check the schedule sees "train service doesn't work because football, please try again after the match", effectively paralyzing public transport.
5. Average Giuseppe learns about the ridiculousness of the situation and gets upset.
6. The government suddenly has to explain to the people what happened. They cannot pin the blame on CloudFlare (as per current fine), so the only remaining scapegoat is the football association.
