While I admittedly do not know any of the inside details, but if you read up on some of the "Glass Door" reviews on Gravity Payments, you'll see a trend of reviews commenting on the cult-like behaviour of the company. I'd suggest doing your own research on companies you apply to before you get mesmerized by their media publicity.

There appears to be a glitch / bug here. When the map first loads, it states the data is for 2018 and lists 50 countries, but the 49th country is blank and there are only 34 circles on the map. When you switch the year to anything else and switch back to 2018, the list has been truncated to 34 countries.
According this article (https://www.businessinsider.com/us-gun-death-murder-risk-sta...) your chances of dying from a motor vehicle incident is approximately three times higher than dying from a gun assault.
Great game! Reminds me of Gravitee which was also a blast to play, but requires Flash https://www.kongregate.com/games/funkypear/gravitee

Polymer banknotes are perhaps more environmentally friendly compared to its counterpart due to its durability (resulting in fewer banknotes being manufactured). They can also be recycled after its life in circulation. On the other hand, cotton/linen banknotes are typically shredded and landfilled after their circulation life.

Ironically, it would seem that their name Khara was derived from a greek word (χαρά) meaning "joy".

"Holding ALT to scroll faster is cheating and not allowed." This is interesting, since ALT + scrollwheel on Firefox is supposed to move forward and backward in your page history, but in the terms and conditions, it helps you scroll at normal speed.
doors can still be unlocked... this "article" is very misleading.
Looks awesome! I noticed that it doesn't yet support in-game progress save functionality yet, but will definitely give it a try when it does!

I wouldn't be surprised if soon enough you'll have to play a mini-match of Starcraft 2 as part of REcaptcha to train DeepMind.
