"I’m hoping for their value bottoming around the time I join, cause that maximizes the number of RSUs I get for the nominal value in my contract." You already explained this in your parent comment. "After that I’ll be hoping

Thanks for the possible explanation. I just came across the source article in my news reader today so I assumed it was today's news. Not sure how I missed it last month. I know there were various threads on HN about the NYT report, but

Okay, I kind of get where you're coming from... but if you're good enough to get hired at Facebook, why not get hired at another BigTechCo? Maybe you'll get a bit less on salary, but that may be offset by stock options that i

I don’t have a crystal ball, but if I had money to play the market I would be shorting the heck out of FB right now. So I think you’re in good shape. That said, did you consider working for another company that wasn’t so ethically compromis

So sorry for the delay. I have been completely buried putting together some chess events. I will respond today with next steps. Thank you for your interest!

+1 for Team Reality finally winning one. Feels like we’ve been getting shut out all season. A small victory to be sure but even those are worth celebrating in these dark times.

Props to Microsoft biz dev for finding someone to buy those things, but wow - that is a lot of money to spend on HMDs that will never get anywhere near actual combat. At least I hope they don’t, for the safety of our troops. Can you even

I especially recommend blitz for beginners. It will mercilessly expose the gaping hole weaknesses in your game (i.e. hanging pieces). The way to improve at chess quickly is to find your blind spots quickly and train them. Most people strugg

I will agree that it can be a double-edged sword. Like anything medicinal, it can turn into a poison if used incorrectly. Ultimately, though, what this world championship proves is that we need to get rid of the distinction between "cl

Both afterwards (training mode) and during (training wheels mode). Heck, this software might even allow me to attempt learning go, which feels like a herculean task for my no-longer-youthful synapses.

I can't argue with your logic here. We do live in a world where people say winning isn't everything. But actually, it is. It's not just happening in chess. This is the same "win at all costs" mentality that gave us

The fact is that all of the major coverage of this event is going to inevitably mention game 12 as much as the final result. Perhaps "marred" is a bit too strong. Could we at least agree on "besmirched"? Here's the

Thank you! With that nuance added, I believe it now. Kasparov generally isn't the kind of person to make sweeping statements that I know are false.

I agree, I saw a few of the games via his LiChess slot and I thought he did a phenomenal job in terms of making advanced chess concepts accessible to a very wide range of skill levels. I also loved elements of the chess.com stream, especial

I can't argue with your first premise. Your following points, however, are less convincing. "Like Kasparov and Grischuk pointed out today, every other chess player gets worse playing rapid/blitz but Carlsen is the only one wh

Is there a reason why you’re not calling out the parent comment on appeal to authority? Because that was the thrust of his entire argument. It’s not just me who feels that way about blitz though. Look at guys like Hikaru Nakamura or Daniel

I barely know the rules of Go, but I have great respect for the game and I believe it would apply there as well. The interface is based on the fact that chess is primarily a game of visual pattern recognition. Tactics like forks and pins, p

I will refute your list of quotes by (again) pointing to the results of the world championships, just concluded. The world crown was lost because Fabiano cracked under time pressure and lost a position in Game 1 of tiebreaks that he easily

I’d like to offer a few thoughts on this match as a former internationally competitive player/US Cadet U16 champion, current ~2400 bullet chess addict, and someone who has played bughouse with Fabiano as my partner at the Sinquefield C
