Baldur’s Gate 3 is recent and very much doesn’t follow the Bethesda model! It’s also turn-based which was a big plus for me as well.

I think it’s reasonable not everyone feels the same way about this. I’d prefer for my body not to be washed nor placed in a coffin.

Counterproductive, and makes Garry Tan look like a real asshole. Now people will have sympathy for the Supervisors whereas a thoughtful criticism could have put real problems with their leadership on display.

You’re paying them to rank and collect information from things on the web for you. People can’t subscribe to everything and it’s nice as a user of a search engine to know if it’s a requirement.

No, to clarify the salary is being paid but the stock liquidity program ended. However, single trigger RSUs mean tax may still be owed on those RSUs at the market value when they were issued. So some people owe tax on eg $100k in extra “in

Thanks for sharing this story. I love when I can learn a little more about the experience of something fascinating like Caving but that I don’t have any personal experience with through someone’s comments on HN. How does one get into Caving

This is about your view of morals as they relate to religion though, right? Legally speaking priests are employees and the church is the employer. I think our government system should treat them as such. Whether it’s right or wrong from th

Who is “they” in this situation? The issue in this article is developers wanting to build housing being blocked by misuse of an environmental quality law. If you live in a city with a large and growing population it’s natural to build more

This could be really useful, but it feels like the bootstrapping phase might be difficult to get past -- on one hand you need to reach the size and level of repute for companies be willing to deal with the process, and on the other you need

How easy would it be for researchers to differentiate deliberately fabricated abstracts written by humans from abstracts of peer-reviewed scientific papers from respected publications? I think the answer to that question might give more co

These policies stem from elected officials, as far as I can tell. How else would you propose they make policy decisions? My impression is these decisions are related to genuine concern about how tech companies collect and use personal data.

You’re assuming being born into an affluent family is the cause of the higher pay. Is it possible that the employees from affluent families are higher performing? I assume there’s significant class bias but I think considering only that fa

I hope that’s true :-) I don’t have anything against the Buddha, but I don’t like the moralization throughout history of different things that people enjoy — e.g. games or certain types of books and visual art. This is happening today with

Imagine you think video games are a waste of time, or that a certain food type shouldn’t be eaten because it’s unhealthy or unclean. Those are fine opinions to hold personally, but obviously many people may disagree. The self-importance I
