My department pays out any leftover budget as a bonus at the end of the fiscal year. I got an email recently that, due to retention, there probably won't be much of a bonus come June. Churn is indeed down.

People talk about the cut as if it's a tax that, if lowered, would benefit consumers because prices for games would fall, but this is just not true. Steam does not require pricing parity between marketplaces as long as you are not dist

If you sell a lot, Valve will reduce their cut on Steam to 15% IIRC. And Steam keys are free to developers - that is, you can generate Steam keys on your website and sell them and Valve gets nothing in return, and there's no volume req

I loved that movie! It truly is gorgeous, right up there with Blade Runner IMO. I just wish they'd release it in 4k, I'd re-buy it in a heartbeat.

Oracle certainly has. Several GBUs realized they were working towards the same goal of a microservices base layer for future service hosting (for handling auth, logging, databases, etc.) and combined their efforts, and I happened to work on

You can keep operations going while still investigating the company. Imagine if Marathon Oil was discovered to be smuggling crude oil from Russia into their refineries and splitting the difference with Putin so Russia could bypass internati

Every time I read one of their reports, I'm continually amazed at the depths some companies sink to juice their stock price and the flagrancy of the ponzi schemes they uncover. I should really be desensitized to it at this point, havin

At this point, there's only a few people I care about left on the platform. And now that I think about who I used to follow...this certainly tracks.

Don't forget the small things. Obviously, ergonomics and having a separate work space are important, but what frequently gets overlooked is having an area that you actually want to work in. - Get some plants, photos, or other decoratio

The place I work at now uses Teams, and I legitimately didn't notice anything amiss. - Channels randomly taking several minutes to load or outright refusing to load? Normal - Calls dropping on a fast, stable ethernet connection? Norm

If people stop watching a channel, even if they're subscribed, unless they have all notifications enabled for the channel, YouTube will just stop recommending it to them and notifying them about new uploads. This isn't a conspirac

I believe it only does sponsors by default, and some categories (like filler) are not shown at all by default. If you never went into the settings, you'd never know.

Yeah, unless you're willing to try the emergency turnaround spots (if there's a cop speed-trapping, you'll get a hefty ticket, and by the time you've slowed down enough to use the turnaround, it's probably too late)

This assumes that Five Guys is in direct competition with those other chains and that people are directly comparing prices when choosing where to eat. People are not the perfect rational actors economists like to pretend they are, and they

Not defending MS, but keyboards already have controllers and have since at least the original PC (probably much earlier than that but I'm not very familiar with old mainframe terminals). Considering how many SKUs already exist for diff

Electricity demand isn't that simple, it's not like Sheetz dropping the price of gas to $1.776/gallon on the 4th of July and having to bag the pumps within the hour [0]. Electricity is quite interesting as a market because it

The A-35 (a highway in Quebec) has been under construction since 1966. When finished, it will be 34 miles/55 km long. Two decades isn't very long for an infrastructure project, which is unfortunate since long-term planning benefit

None of the citations match the claims, either. The author appears to have made up one of its most important citations while misrepresenting the other [0], which is par for the course for this author [1][2][3][4]. [0]: https://ne

That sounds like a nightmare to deal with, I'm surprise you don't mention this in the comparison example for multiple voices. Another suggestion: you highlight the MusicXML elements being discussed in blue, but not the MNX element

Is this available on Steam? I can't seem to find it on there. Or is this just the message you get when adding videos to your account on Steam?
