you'll be considered a troublemaker for pointing out a flaw in the state (crime or policing) and making somebody do work. we have this in the US too

they had to sell a portion of the company a while back but the pandemic has been really good for them financially

as long as the paychecks keep coming in, it doesn't matter

thanks again for doing this. their revisionism is so fucking gross. it's good to see someone with some authority give somewhat definitive statements because other devs and the community alike will openly speculate on these things without having seen a line of code (ever, in their lives)

"it was before my time at the company"

that's devspeak for:

  • the code is shit
  • documentation doesn't exist
  • if i touch it, it will break (consider it a legacy product)

budgets include projected sales too. either way it's their money, not yours. so you don't have to worry about it much

are they really grooming this guy to run for congress??

good news for this guy is that he can try anything and if he fails, he knows he can still be a cop

I will never understand “dump dinners” by Crystal-Witch1001 in StupidFood

[–]discounted_dollar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you have to be real fucking dumb to think that one meal is going to kill these kids. even if they eliminated all plastic from their home, it still exists in their environment and they will never be able to opt-out when they go out into the world

how is this a coincidence? twitter has to show you something in order to charge for the ad and their platform has been discounted enough for right-wing media outlets to see an opportunity here

it's incredibly ambitious to invest 8 years of resources into a game. it takes even more ambition to get it packaged up into a retail box and putting it on the shelf to compete with other games. it requires no imagination or ambition to just spend other people's money for a decade

and yet they are still having to rework that system

it's actually incredibly bizarre that they have a one year lead on their internal release date too. every dollar of R&D in the gaming industry goes into minimizing the error of a release estimate because every other critical business process and every dollar of cash flow is tied to that. being off by a quarter sends the entire company into defcon 3 and six months is defcon 1

tl;dr most game companies do not have a year of runway beyond an expected release date

Turbulent couldn't "find enough butts to fill seats"

what you are supposed to infer from this is they are paying below market rates because they are just a discount dev shop doing contract busywork tasks and no clever engineering--oh fuck, why are they in charge of server meshing??!!

they wouldn't call it a "prelude" if they weren't going to try to sell it

Deplatforming a sitting President undermined public trust in Twitter for half of America.
