   I haven't had a chance to play more than an hour or so, but Foxhole is an interesting 3/4 perspective MMO war game where logistics plays a seemingly massive role. We're talking major player run supply chains including resourc

   Out of curiosity, how much does the "not using a joystick" piece align with reality? I feel like all of the movies I see have the shuttle pilots using joysticks for everything.

   Is KSP1 any fun for casual gamers with only an hour or two and a joystick? Will I have to read up on lots of math and orbital mechanics to get anywhere in it?

   Thanks for the suggestion. Not really looking to add another subscription to the budget at the moment though.

   I wish I still had my music videos and more of the art I made. I found stuff I created when I was a teenager and younger that I'd totally forgotten about. Things I modeled in software, things I sketched, things I built from Lego, thing

   Audiobooks have been my savior since I switched to them from podcasts. I'm making my way through a backlog of must read sci-fi and fantasy classics I never would have read otherwise because I have little time to read a book as it is. I

   How do those conversations typically go in the real world? Is it an actual meeting w/ a buyer agent there? An automated message? If a live conversation is it a fairly hostile "look at all the sales we're driving for you. Give

    I originally got an Amazon Tap instead of an Echo because it required hitting a button to listen. Then they added an all setting that let me toggle the always on capability and I realized it was just a software button and that in theory it

    Cool, good stuff. Thanks for being open to the feedback (in hindsight I could have worded it a bit more constructively). For context, I look at a lot of analytics tool sites, and there's just little things that give me good or bad vibe

    Sounds interesting. Wish there were case studies and some way to view screenshots full screen. I never got why analytics tools make the screenshots impossible to enlarge and see details with given how important UI and such can be in some ca

    I'll admit to being a semi-frequent "no" person and I'm fortunate to work for someone that values that. I've learned some people can take personal offense to having their ideas challenged, particularly when...ahem..

    This is something I've wished for for a while. There are many developers out there whom I'm sure would love people to trust them and that are trustworthy. But I feel we now live in an age of "trust, but verify" and there

    I actually worry more about the other threat implied by your use of dynamically inserting kompromat in a message. Imagine sending emails like that at scale in key voting districts. Sure it would get shut down. Substantial, irrevocable damag

    Thanks for the insight and for wading into the firestorm here. From the screenshots in the article, it appears there is zero indication to the user that this will be going through Grubhub when they tap that button. Was that discussed? How d

    What's the general Yelp employee vibe like when news like this comes out about features they've worked on? Is it a feeling of "meh, we're growing revenue" or more of a "they completely misunderstood the value w

    Really wish they'd make it easy to show images of menus in restaurants. I usually use Yelp for easily viewing photos of different aspects from interior/exterior to menu, etc.

    I wouldn't be shocked if we have a mass kompromat attack trying to coerce people into doing something based on some porn site analytics data. Paired with god knows what Cambridge Analytica had at their disposal, it probably wouldn&#x27

    You're not wrong. "Data laundering" is a thing. There's a lot of industry concern around the quality/accuracy of 3rd party data segments from various brokers, DMPs and DSPs, but often times they are complete black b

    In some cases, it is more important to distill vs. over-communicate. Senior leaders are reliant on you to sweat the details. Finding out what is important to them can be an art form--or a simple conversation sometimes.

    Can you share more details of the situation? I'm curious what they were lying about and how you pinned them down.

    If I think about how omnipresent computers and data are in my life now, I wonder how much we can use that as a starting point for what some of that evolution might look like. For example... - I find myself trying to memorize fewer things if

    I think #3 is really interesting. As an advertiser with a lot of hands-on experience in ad platforms, FB from the start has tried to make the experience as simplistic as possible to manage. This has the side-effect of also getting less-savv
