IMO your first mistake was not having an out when the director got fired. As nostrademons3 says, you should have been networking and finding your “next gig” within the company if you want to stay to vest. Moving forward, be the master of yo

Just played around with a PWA on iOS and added it to Home Screen. Works really really nicely and so it seems pwa have come along a lot since I last looked into them! Thanks for the prompt to update my understanding. I do disagree in the dev

Agreed I’d rather spend more time on itch. But from a dev perspective poki has a chance to monetise while itch monetisation is near zero at the moment.

Web gaming might be a decent incremental revenue source (< 10%) for big developers or the main distribution channel for small studios that will never make it big. But it will never be more than that. 1. Game ops is too entrenched in mobi

The article was disappointing. It’s the first time in a while I’ve read the Economist but I feel the quality has really gone down. Why did the Department of Health state there was a surplus? What policy decisions allowed them to make that r

We seem to go in a circle: CEOs “don’t have skin in the game” —> more share based comp —> Stock does well. Decry excessive CEO comp —> Depeg ceo pay from stock —> repeat

Such a breath of fresh air to read this. I choose to work remote and only look at companies that do that. My first was Canonical. Since then I worked at a startup and when they went office first, I left even though I had not fully vested.

I don’t see what YT did wrong here even remotely. It’s their platform. There is no right to access. It’s not a public place. The hard core libertarians who say that Brands “free speech” is being reduced… well YT has freedom too and they sho

This dude was a VP at JP. Surely he should be networking for a job, not applying to job sites?! Seems like they are going down the wrong channel. I’ve never filled a senior position in my teams via CVs, and always through word of mouth. The

> Apple hides option to allow unsigned apps from the Mac GUI How so? Isn’t this still an option in settings? Or are you referring to something else?

Makes me so happy to know EFF and ethical hackers like this exist. I know they can’t test every app and every situation, but that there are hobbyists like this is such a testimony to humanity.

Such a large premium on current share price. I can’t see this end any way other than a PE gutting of the company to make the economics work.

> my wife's colleagues Your wife’s colleagues are not the scientific community at large. Organisations such as WHO and numerous government regulators flat out lied to the public throughout the pandemic. Take the UK. Our health watch

I will still be extremely surprised if the dude gets more than a 2-year open door no prison better than budget hotel prison sentence.

I’ll never understand why people think an office is important for any reason other than monitoring time at desk. The office is a sea of noise cancelling headphones. Globalised workforces mean any meeting ends up on Zoom anyway. Random chit

Covid debunks all your claims. I’ve taken all my covid jabs and boosters so I’m not coming at this as some alt right antivaxxer, but the systemic and systematic shut down of any dissent against mainstream science and scientific organisation

I don’t understand who the audience is (obv not me). People who make models for a living: hard to remove them from excel. Likely view this product as superfluous. Likely find excel, comments etc as enough to collaborate. People who don’t ma

This isn’t correct. The author calls bullshit jobs anything in the service sector. The book takes the approach of “these people say their job is bullshit” to be tactful, as dunking on people is seen as a generally bad thing to do.
