I used to be in game development industry before I bailed for (much) better salary in tech. I'll probably start scratching that itch full-time by forming a small indie operation. Also be there to see my children actually grow up =)

We have different perspectives, you regard Tesla as an automotive company only, I regard it as much more. Time will tell. Even if it doesn't pan out I've only have a small percentage of my total net worth in it so it won't hu

I'm still failing to see how a (very large albeit) statistical model can take over humanity. I should either be stupid or unimaginative (or both). Please can somebody help me?

Aside that we are in agreement that laws should not be gendered if we want equality (not examining whether wolf-whistling should be a hate-crime - imho it’s ridiculous it is in any context) since we live in reality and there ARE gendered la

I commend you for having this approach. I'm biased from my experience from colleagues that got annoyed when they realized they couldn't have their cake and eat it too.
