You don't "lay off" in order to recruit "new people". In many jurisdictions, you can't do that legally.
Not that EA has ever cared about silly little things like employment laws.
Incidentally, I work for a 10,000+ employ software company, and to my knowledge and belief, they have never "laid off" anyone, ever.
I'd better tell management that consistent year on year growth - and regularly heading up the best companies to work for lists - is "abnormal" and "unhealthy". They're doing it wrong!
If nuclear adopted the same attitude that coal has always had, then reactor leaks would be result in a shrug and a response of "So what, you can't see it, so it can't hurt you."
Because by the time anyone who could come up with accurate estimate is asked for their opinion, the product has already been sold and the contracts signed.
Prioritise the order of development and get on with it. It'll be done when it's done, you'll get paid or you won't. Wasting time producing imaginary numbers has never fulfilled a contract, ever.
Yes, "that whole age bracket" agrees with you, which is why the Historical Documents marked the beginning and end of the franchise, and it died alone, unloved and unremembered, inspiring nothing and no-one.
At 43mph, they're entirely at the mercy of local weather conditions. And "without using a single drop of fuel"? Tish. Factor in the fuel used by the support crew as they fuss around it. Don't like that? Then let's see them do it without support.
Even with fantasy efficiency, there's no mass-to-surface-area that could make this a commercially viable form of transport, ever. It's a beautiful folly, and an impressive exercise in materials science, and should be enjoyed on that basis. The PV aspect is essentially a gimmick though.
hypocrite troublemaker who is creating divisions in the dev community along gender lines for no good reason only her own need to validate herself out of victimhood
In as much as I view it as a self indulgent echo chamber where converts congratulate themselves on choosing the one true religion.
Python is just one tool in the box - sorry, one implement in the storage vessel. All single-language conference attendees really need to get over themselves.
People had been getting married long before the state stuck its oar in to those muddy waters.
In fact, it took until 2006 for Scotland's State to stop recognisingnew "marriages by cohabitation with habit and repute". Any pre-existing arrangements still have the force of law behind them.

If your counter argument is "nanny nanny boo boo", then aren't you rather confirming OP's point that this is a game of ideological mud slinging?
They've actually got on top of much of the core stuff in the past few years. Which is why it's astonishing that they went so nuts with "Window" 8.
Remember when Gates BSOD'd Win98 at a presentation? And laughed, because he know that people would still queue up to buy it.

Because when I read "EA" and "slashing workforce" I half expected it to be about "the cubicle stabbings will continue until morale improves."
Good job that's not in the slightest bit radioactive then.

tl;dr version - money attracts money. Who knew?
I used to be a Bitcoin investor like you, then I took an Apple to the knee.
They're not far off. Try 900 miles.

Anyone else having real problems not reading that as "instigating"?
Well, quite. An equally accurate headline would be "China #1 for dirty energy production".

If some perv is going to stare at my junk in the shower, I'd prefer that he knock on the window so that I know that he's doing it.

It's Soylent belts that are people, not bible belts.
If the trap hasn't sprung, it's only because not enough dumb animals have blundered into it yet.
Bit strong, but not too far from Amanda Blums's experiences with Adria Richards.

So, their response to your informed complaint about their lack of ethics was to tell an embarrassingly obvious lie? Slow. Hand. Clap.

Wait, are you parodying commercial - aka 'organised' - religions? The whole subject is so ridiculous that I really can't tell.
Spoilers! Force choke!
More seriously yourself take you, be laughed at more you will.
You can make clean and efficient coal plants, but nobody actually does it. Perhaps you're thinking of some theoretical plants 40 years from now.
