Why no QML support? Interested in OP's decisions there. Would it just bring in too much bloat?

It would not be the first time a company has dropped Qt overnight, especially with their recent push for royalties on all products.

Does anyone know if the user interface is still Qt/QML?

VLC, TeamViewer, Google Earth, Maya, VirtualBox.

In a lot of countries (80%+) taxi drivers are rude, try to price gouge, try to scam you or try to take longer routes.

I have had every experience you explained with Uber. People driving me weird ways around my city to make the trip longer, rude, attempting to add a cleaning charge with no reason, or the classic "Hey if you cancel the ride and give me $10 I can get you there."

Wait, what? How are you going to write a native app with less quirks than Qt? VTK? That's a little disingenuous.

That's incorrect. Sexual orientation is a federally protected class. Belief in white supremacy is not.

The reason being sexual orientation is a protected class. "Belief in white supremacy" is not.

An attack on heavily armed police by one guy with an assault rifle is a pretty good time to talk about gun control.

So are politicians just supposed to reply "That was horrible" and not look at the underlying causes or events that allowed it to happen?

Also, Reddit can't ban them because of the inevitable "LIBERAL WEBSITE BANS PRO-DONALD FORUM" headlines.

So, even though a massive amount of their userbase pushes for genocide against "Mdslimes" or "Kbabs", Reddit admins let them exist.

For anyone who doubts this: next time you see a vaguely or directly racist comment on Reddit, go check where that persons posts.. 75% of the time they're directly from /r/the_donald.

It's a shame I'll never get to use features past Qt 5.4 after their insistence on LGPLv3 and royalties per device sold..

I get that. It just seems like that specific metric could have been over-weighted seeing as how Ford and GM were at the top of the list..

"The annual survey looked at 18 different companies, smeared across 10 different criteria, ranging from strategy, to core tech development, to manufacturing capability and staying power, and a company that’s over 100 years old ended up leading the list."

Why does 'manufacturing capability and staying power' correlate to 'potential in the world of autonomous driving'? It doesn't matter if you can pump out a thousand cars an hour if they crash a mile down the road. This should be based on core tech development only..

If the people are explaining politely why Trump is a bigot and why they support Hillary, what's the problem? Just because people having a discussion don't share your viewpoints doesn't make the discussion less valid.

I think in general overuse of "reply all" has been publicly shamed in recent years. Internet etiquette has evolved past sending chain mail office jokes.

In a similar vein, there's pictures online of a "computer lab" in North Korea shown to visitors. There's people typing away at computers, which is seemingly normal, until you realize none of the computer have electricity.

No one's denying that. "Brutal and cruel" was referring to forced abortions of pregnant women with more than one child.

I would also guess most of the drivers who complain live in a city that lacks proper bike lanes. Bikes wouldn't need to interact as much with drivers if we defined space for them.

Adblock was recently sold to an undisclosed buyer[1]. They told users of the switch the same day they started the "Acceptable Ads" program. I don't want someone I don't know controlling which ads bypass my ad blocker..

The fact that he's going to to have a really difficult time finding another job seems to be punishment enough..

Youtube comments have the same atmosphere. Comments on these sites should have hidden "like/dislike" counters akin to Hacker News.

That's exactly what I was thinking when I read this. It's cool and all, but who is asking for this? No one..

And those stories are.. also completely unverifiable?

I get the simplicity, but I really disagree that visual aspects of a website/program are not "something useful".

I would bet that a well designed and clean GUI would be easier to use for a large percent of the population than text alone..

I agree completely. Wasn't there a thread here a just few days ago discussing Gmail consistently marking personal mail servers as spam?

True, but if he's looking for contracting work hopefully his CV will be in the hands of an engineer rather than a hiring manager/HR.

I agree with this, I initially thought that was his "expected GPA at graduation" which is what many soon-to-be graduates put on their resume. I'd change this if you're trying to contract for anyone in the US.

In Massachusetts the smell of marijuana isn't enough for police to search your car. This was changed recently (summer 2014).

No, it's a collective of small companies who profit off the stupidity and false-validation of anti-GMO "activists". Every time a anti-GMOer googles "Why GMOs are bad" and clicks the first link someone who is pushing that propaganda gets paid.
