I mostly agree with you but "work ethics" is also partially genetic. It's defined partly by a big five trait called conscientiousness which has a fair percentage of its effects not explainable by the environment or random cha

Likely not. I would assume they use one of the big five traits which is called agreeableness, or something that's close enough it, and this result seems in keeping with how that trait would be described. People who are high in agreeabl

Brazil has a wealth inequality problem because starting a business here is extremely hard. These are problems that Bolsonaro's finance minister has been tackling very hard. Similarly, because of the way the federation is set up it make

Economically Brazil has been considerably better since he got elected and most things seem to be moving in the right direction. What exactly is this cost that you mentioned?

There are two traits that most predict performance in life: IQ and conscientiousness. "Genius", as most people refer to the word, essentially means high IQ. But IQ has no correlation whatsoever to conscientiousness, so you can be

There were a lot more exemptions, deductions and credits back then so the effective tax rate was not even close to 70% and was not much higher than it is today. Not sure why this article didn't mention this at all but I can guess, comi

The reality the person you replied to also includes the immutable nature of our biology, and the fact that people vary wildly in intelligence and personality, which will result in vastly unequal outcomes for individuals. Society cannot be e

We seem to disagree on what unethical behavior means it seems. For instance, I don't think Groupon, Airbnb or advertising in general are unethical at all. I can understand why you have the position you do if your meter for unethical be

Interesting perspective on work-life balance, certainly contrary to the usual discussion online on these issues https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udlMSe5-zP8&t=1h27m10s

No, I get a free pass because I didn't write an article defending my game's poor quality art and posted it on the Internet. If I wrote such an article and said that I have no intent to improve said art I'd expect people to cr

The best thing you can do is post images/gifs of what you're working on social media (twitter, tumblr, reddit) and see how many likes/upvotes it gets. As you post things you will be able to compare either to your past posts o

Anyone with any aesthetic sense can point out how his games are lacking visually, so it's not that presumptuous at all. The effects of his game's poor art on his ability to run a business are another matter altogether that I perso

If you go up to a bunch of people doing a craft and you show yourself displaying extremely poor technique and care for the craft itself, those craftsmen will disrespect you, and they will be right. As an indie developer it's kind of ti

You don't need increased manpower to over time develop a better sense for how well your game's screens are composed and if things fit together or not. This is a skill you can improve yourself by mostly paying attention. This kind

Steam keys for a game can be generated at no cost to the developer. If you sell your game outside of Steam on another store or your own store, you can then attach a Steam key to that sale so that players can activate the game on Steam (beca
