Ownership of guns or a citizenry with guns does not degeneracy make. Education, or lack there of, is the ill to the mention you made. Take Switzerland. http://world.time.com/2012/12/20/the-swiss-difference-a

I would instead gather it's entirely too superfluous and divisive for the HN crowd who is routinely above such pettiness. I fall back to Carmack on this issue. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzmbW4ueGdg

I've always wanted to know how the 5% royalty is enforced. Other, much lesser known, engines have attempted to do something of this sort by acting as an intermediary eg. publisher, planning to pay developers after they were paid by App

Algos were stewards of the '08 crash, not the reason. It's dangerously naive to believe overexerted housing values and propped up fundamentals weren't to blame. Not to mention how institutional trust went out the window once

I completely agree with 99% of what you said. We launched in 2009, and were feature by Apple over 9 times. While we wanted to monetize on episodic content IAP wasn't yet a possibility. The programers, who already had jobs, were dissuad

I agree with all you've said, but my independent charade started in 2009 - IAP was not yet a function of Apple libraries. Once better tools became available for us to monetize as originally planned, my team was already well dispersed.

You mean something like little Johnny Gamedesigner who decides to break free and go independent after 10 years of AAA studio life? His first game is featured all over, but released to a 95% piracy rate. Pulling in barely $20k after 6 months

This is why Nintendo rarely has sales. You completely destroy your brand when you say it's really only worth X percent of what you're normally charging. The same could be stated for anything, really. It's all in perceived val

You know, I was going to add a bit about the debt, but I knew this comment was off topic enough/ I couldn't advocate an actual purchase now, but at one point it seemed interesting. I just wasn't thinking big enough.

Crunch is typically the result of poor planning or design on the fly or by focus-group. So, to that end, it's not the crunch's fault, even though it sucks, it's the fault of design and production not getting their ducks in a

Once, long ago, I thought Google would have bought Radio Shack and installed wireless network hubs in all ~5000 of them to bring internet to the masses. I guess this is a subsequent option. That said, on the verge of bankruptcy, Radio Shack

Even if it was the slightest cause, by ending porn the world over you will not diminish the act of human trafficking or prostitution. In fact, you may, and probably will, only strengthen the practice as people look to other means to live ou

Sadly not as much as I'd like to as I've been unemployed for the last six months and am starting with my charity at home. That said, I go to the LA river clean-ups the several times a year they occur, but have recently thought I c

In my recent tales of online dating I've run into this a lot - so much so I've made a point of mentioning in my OKC profile that while it's great to love traveling, this tells me nothing of your personality, pursuits or goals

At first I thought this was an 'accidental' leak. As in, a response to steal Google's thunder. Then it hit me, and it will become immediately clear to anyone who's ever pushed an app to the App Store, this highlights the

So.. is this a boys will be boys scenario? I'm not understanding your general point. It's clear these cops were operating like a mob organization, as do many precincts in this country. I see no harm in highlighting some wrong doin

When all you do is view everyone's best moments from that day it's no wonder it leads to a certain kind of depression. I saw it in spades in my ex-gf who is a lawyer working 10-12hrs/day. She would get so depressed looking at

I'm 36 with seventeen years experience as a designer/creative director shipped dozens of titles on all platforms since the PSX and no one will touch me. I've long suspected that my age was partially to blame, but I also know
