I imagine right now while the spotlight is on him might not be a great time to carry out any kind of revenge. There will be time for that later.

In a sense, those clauses seem like the embodiment of a best alternative to a negotiated agreement. They reserve broad leeway to account for possibilities that might not have been anticipated; for the fact you can never anticipate everythin

And who's to say that they don't just put that language back? They've demonstrated willingness to do that.

Rising stock price helps a public corporation directly because corporations own their own stock, too. A high price allows a company to sell some of those shares, or issue new shares. Among other things.

They had that clause in their TOS. They removed it recently when no one was looking. Immediate resignations, I say.

The only way for them to regain trust is for top executives to resign, starting with the CEO. The breach of trust is so severe, you can't take anything they say at face value, and you can't trust them to not try this again. This i

If Unity has some fancy prebuilt shader library he's leveraging to generate the effects, reimplementing that from scratch might be a lot of work.

They haven't heard anyone. They are just playing the "Overshoot then Back Off" negotiation playbook.

I don't see anything here about firing the executives who forced through this plan. Rolling back the changes isn't enough when the biggest damage is the breach of trust in having a reliable business partner.

There is no indication that Unreal would follow suit, and no corroboration for such a claim is given in the article. How does the author get off saying that?

Saying Microsoft "makes" GitHub is quite a stretch. Microsoft owns GitHub. They did not make it. https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/001/079/173/ed2...

I'm still playing BG3 as well, and I have no plans to pick up Starfield until next year at the earliest. This was my plan from the beginning, because we can't rely on Bethesda to release quality craft. People should adjust to this

Everything I've heard is that this is the least buggy release for a Bethesda game ever. This does not mean it doesn't have serious quality problems; it means Bethesda has never managed to do better, and people love their games des

I think ER=EPR still implies physics is local, but locality is dynamic rather than static. It is a mechanism by which spacetime can be constructed from quantum physics, but all the physics still takes place locally on it.

I was taught in Japanese language class that unvoiced vowels don't get entirely deleted. You're still supposed to aspirate them, which affects the pacing of the language, but it's hard to hear it because unvoiced vowels don&#

But that was billions of years ago! Cyanobacteria just peaked early. Give us a few more years, and I'm sure we'll catch up splendidly.

It's an unfortunate reality that many schools in the US are under the governance of people pushing the exact screeds the schools should be teaching kids to criticize. Is it any wonder we have an education crisis in this country?

A Japanese speaker can learn to speak German, but that's not the same as a loan word. Japanese is a great example for how loan words are modified to conform to the phonemic structure of a language because it absorbed so much english in

You make a good point. I looked it up and it's in MW and even scrabble recognizes it as an interjection. I think to be a word, at a minimum an utterance would have to conform to the phonemic structure of a language, but that's a l

I think the distinction the original person was trying to make is that to be a software company you need to sell the software someone would use to offer such a service instead of offering the service yourself. They would stipulate that a te

I don't think that's a word. It's an utterance, but not a lexical one. It's not onomatopoeia, either: 'bark' is onomatopoeia, but actually barking isn't.

So what we should be looking at is the median number of tenures, not the median length of tenures? How would one weight the latter by the former to get a more robust measure of tenure length?

Monopoly is a red herring. We should be going after trusts of all sorts, even if they don't rise to the level of monopoly power. A cartel is no less damaging just because the individual players don't hold monopoly power. What matt

I love finding full course lecture series like this, although I'm usually looking more for History or Political Science lectures these days.
