this was also 2 years ago, at the peak of the madness. These days it's far less likely to get that kind of money.

I haven't myself ever been relocated as a worker, but when my brother (while working for one of the US tech giants) was relocated he still had to pay rent & other expenses in the new city himself, the company just found them housin

They miss a lot of factors, and are mostly just for companies to compare "hardship allowances" for relocating workers. It doesn't track a lot of factors that would matter to an individual moving themselves.

The usual caveat that it's meant to measure a "hardship index" for companies relocating workers. I wouldn't use it as a measure for where to best move to as there are many factors it doesn't measure (such as how goo

Am I that commentator? I'm not advocating for anything, I guess the original phrasing of the question was ambiguous- I read it as "I don't know why my boss cares how fast I work if my work is not critical" and am answeri

For whoever is doing the pressuring to work faster, supposedly the manager who is supposedly doing it for the benefit of the company. I'm not saying this is better for the employee, but if you're asking "why are they pressuri

I don't know why I should, what I'm working on is clearly not critical to the company. Isn't it better to get more done than less (at the same amount of time), even if it's not critical? The only case wher

We kept improving the game afterwards and released the final version of Toto Temple Deluxe on PS4, Xbox One, Wii U and Steam on September 29th 2015. They've released on all the at-the-time mainstream platforms, I do

I also have friends like that, that are just too far invested in the "America is always evil" narrative. Yes, the US does plenty dubious things. It doesn't contradict Putin being even worse.

Won't find anywhere livable west of Chicago until you reach Tokyo... I like Vancouver, although I've only ever visited rather than lived there.

The thing is that even countries with excellent social safety nets and childcare benefits (like northern and western europe) have seen their birth rate fall in the last 50 years. In fact the most common correlation is that as countries get

While you'd expect the documents to be digital these, there's a lot more delivery of food and consumer products bought online than there was in 2005.

I remember reading this great entry when it came up almost 20 years ago! Still a good read, despite some of the details having since went out of date.

It could very well be that the things you learned are in fact wrong (haven't read the book but talked to a few other game devs who did, who all pointed some issues with how it portrays the process of game development)

Yes! I find it funny that you're asking this, the original World of Goo having released almost 15 years ago (the one linked above is the remake) and probably one of the most popular/well known indie games of that era :) It reminds

That stuff is all NDA. But Netflix pay for games like they for TV/movies. Upfront and a hefty sum.

I don’t care if they want to improve their PR retroactively if the result is rapid deployment of renewable. “Who was right all along” doesn’t matter as what actually gets done.

Aside from Guava I knew none of the fruits the OP mentioned, just as a side-note. I think you may be overestimating how common and obvious these are for people not from Asia.

I don’t want to sound snarky but did you miss that this was a rhetorical question meant to illustrate my actual point as part of a much longer post?

That's why I gave it as an example. It feels unfair but that doesn't mean it's evidence of collusion/conspiracy.

Probably a lot fewer upstarts find success than you imagine - it may seem like "a lot" but the rate of success is abysmal. It's hard to get accurate statistics because it's not obvious what to count, but from the attempt

There is absolutely a substantial chance it won't work out - the vast majority of startups don't succeed. In my experience it always seemed to have appeared as a plus rather than a minus though (both when hiring and when trying to

Same here - HN is nice enough as long as you're willing to just not react to people who vehemently disagree with you about something. As in: knock yourself out, I don't need to get into internet fights about why I think your opini

I literally saw the teacher returning the phones to kids in the afternoon when I went to pick up my son. I also spent a day with him there when he was doing a "trial week" a few months before the end of kindergarten and I saw no k
