They went from a company trying to sell to restaurants to one that will sell to developers? Developers are some of the cheapest people I know. Many refuse to even pay for tools that save them a lot of hours per month (i.e. PyCharm). They

What does running a company have to do with science? I'm being serious here. It's not like the Ceo of a company is going to personally check on lab results.

They probably have some sort of fast / monthly vesting schedule instead of some (what I think is truly bizarre but common) yearly vesting cycle. If a person wants to leave 18 months into it let them go with 18/(4 12) percent inste

I never do. Going to their homepage is like seeing the dog's breakfast. It is a complete mess of whatever passed an a/b test of increasing sales. It is like they reached a local maxima but it is on St Crappy's Peak. If I go t

I'll give a reason why I would have chosen this route by way of example. A Hololens hackathon I went to had us using Unity and C sharp. Not knowing C sharp I still wanted to participate so I learned enough of it to be able to post to a

You can easily sabotage people in large companies, probably more easily than in small. Just don't offer support when you could. Start gossiping. Gang up with one or more other people and make it seem like the other isn't a team pl

While I think it is a good idea for a company to stick to their knitting (making movies and such, not video games) I'm not sure what studio will want to work with them when Disney holds all the IP to the characters. Say a game is a hit

What if it came out of a neural net or some other system that can't be easily explained? There's no real "specific calculation" to show. Now if they were using decision trees, i.e. If the person has 3 or more felonies t

That should be in quotes: "worth" billions of imaginary dollars. Until this company goes public or is bought or she's bought out she isn't worth nearly that much. This whole thing looks like a way to scam money off of de

Care to share more about that? It would be really helpful for people looking at the language to see your progression. Could be something as simple as a gist with the code in your different stages.
