What measures are being put in place to prevent/thwart piracy after the games are on the hard drive? Namely when all "chunks" of a less-than-50GB title are all present in that space?

Perhaps each chunk is independently signed and auth'd similar to 2FA schemes?

Occasionally, I get a phone call about some sort of home security system, mentioning something about the FBI. This call comes through once every 2-3 weeks. Despite pressing a number to opt out, I continue to get these calls.

What is a typical course of action to go further in an effort to stop these seemingly phantom companies?

Why is it ok for a health insurance provider to resubmit a claim from the previous year - after the max out-of-pocket for that (previous) year was already reached? This seems like double-dipping.

What is your take on “in-network facility - but out-of-network” declines on claims? And when the patient had no say or prior auth toward “approving” those doctors/technicians/etc.?

Do you foresee Profound expanding into the DevOps space? For example, Profound may in the future offer a series of courses (including the signature real-time course feedback/etc.) that focus on Kubernetes (kubectl, k8s API, etc.) and surrounding concepts.

I'm 31 and my brother is 26. We both grew up on art, in admiration of tech, enjoying gaming (when we could), and low-ish income (which inspired ingenuity and mgmt-minded life skills).

Both of us are going to school to further our ambition and achieve it - working together making games.

For example, we spoke with Bob Nicoll (Dean of Blizzard University - the intern-oriented program at Blizzard... World of Warcfraft, Hearthstone, Starcraft, etc.) and he was very forthcoming with advice. For my brother, he'll be going to a local uni in CA for AA in Illustration and Computer Graphics (wants to do 3D modeling). This would be enough to get him in the door, intern if not entry level.

I want to do animation.

Sincerely, it's never too late. If you want to get involved in the gaming industry (or anything you're excited about) just do it! We're dead for an awfully long time.
