   When he is in the position of power he's in, and posts things like this[1] it is hard not to assume he has ulterior political motives. [1] https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/twitter-reacts-elon-musk...

   I've played KG for over a year IRL. Run number 18, over 19k in game years. I want to get back in but a lot has changed and I'm struggling to recall all the details to be able to pick it back up and what I should focus on. Any tips

   Counterpoint: I've seen the fallout when you get teams of very smart technical people who don't have the product management skill set. They: - Prioritize building the wrong thing - Don't prioritize customer interviews and thi

    And sometimes you don't need to simulate. MSFS pulls in live metar data, though previously they used Meteorblue forecast data.

    It makes me wonder what got mobile phones to gain critical mass when they were still whale phones. I guess it was a case of a device further reducing the friction of an existing killer feature (voice calls). Sometimes I think the killer app

    Ad companies don't sell your data. It's one of their most valuable assets. They sell access to impressions that are targeted based on modeling of that data. It is a nuanced, yet extremely important distinction.

    I wish it were easier to compare that against other considerations. Comp isn't everything (though not judging those for whom it is) and it can be challenging to weigh the benefits of being somewhere for multiple years. Especially for p

    Agreed. It's smart business to offer ad free to get people hooked, then ramp up the monetization once you have dominance. If people will continue to pay and get ads you are leaving money on the table as a business.

    Try MSFS in VR on ultra settings. With mostly high and ultra I'm sometimes able to get 30fps on my quest 2. Nevermind something like the Pimax 8k or upcoming 12k. That sim eats graphics cards for breakfast.

    I'm curious what copyright issues exist around it. To your point of people finding to use it, I agree. But this is also why I believe it's value hasn't begun to be tapped yet. As the capabilities, tools, and abstraction layer
