This is an awful take. You dont know anything about the dynamic of their relationship or even how Scotts direct actions affected Bezos decisions or ability to function. What if Scott was the reason he felt he could take a bigger swing or if with her by his side he was able to maintain a family and his business goals.

I know your intention isnt sexist but even the idea that the role of partner should be arbitrated on a case by by case basis leaves the person who volunteered not to pursue further education in financial and business matters with the burden of having to explicitly articulate their financial contributions.

A relationship is an open eyed partnership and this idea that the opportunity cost on the person who stays home is just earnings is toxic to entrepreneurs who want to chase their dreams and build a stable family

it need not be related to your job. some employer might ask that since you're skilled enough to do such thing, then you should have been performing extraordinarily on the job, even if you are already delivering what the job asks for, and just as good as your peers. at worst, some struggling poorly managed startup might even "turnaround" and eventually you don't own your side passion project anymore.

These billionaires often seed their charities with endowments that continue to grow over time, and the charities finance their operations with the interest.

If you're getting utilitarian, Gates would probably argue that a life saved now might be worth more than a few lives saved decades later, but that's another matter.
Text shaping engines, which is probably the closest thing to what you mean by “Unicode rendering engine”, are incredibly complicated.

For example, look how long the Microsoft text-shaping docs are for just one script, Tibetan: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/script-developme... . Then look at the table of contents and note that there are a bunch of other sections for various other complex scripts.
Wow! You are a good human.
Good point. Early stage support for an effective intervention could prevent the need for massive resources after the problem is more widespread.
> The viewpoint you're pushing is that this taking doesn't adequately balance the interests of the homeowner.

The callousness with which the homeowner's interests are dismissed does suggest this, yes.

> To use your own words: Asserts facts not in evidence.

I haven't asserted it as a fact, I've questioned whether their interests were balanced because of the contempt for those interests that was demonstrated in the article.

> It's your assumption and your bias. And you're wording your question to assume that bias.

I'm specifically addressing this as the thing that I posted about. There's nothing biased about responding to a callous statement by observing that it dismisses someone's perspective callously.

> Tunnels still have entrances. It may be fewer houses, but it's still going to take them.

The entrance can be constructed on public land or on land that was purchased on the market. There's nothing about tunnels that require expropriation. The same cannot be said about large above-ground structures in occupied areas when people don't want to sell.
I feel like if I somehow ended up with billions and was struck by large-scale altruism, instead of just giving it away, I'd set up some kind of fund that would ensure it was around forever, would grow at the pace of inflation, and would use the excess to make the world a better place.

A billion dollars today ain't worth that far into the future. But spread out over decades or even gasp, centuries, it could do far more good in the long run.

One really interesting example is the Battelle Memorial Institute. A charitable trust that also happens to be one of the largest R&D organizations on the planet and does over $6 billion/year in revenue. But has strict governance principles over working on weapons, or things that might harm people.

Haha, yes. I was trying to think of a way to phrase "Jeff Bezos is probably better at compounding his personal wealth than most people".

I think what you've noted is perhaps the best counter-argument, but it's difficult to balance out and do the math. There is obviously some trade-off at which compounding is better than instantly donating, but it's quite possible that the compounding effects of certain classes of donations can be much stronger than what would reasonably be attained, so maybe that is where I'm wrong if I am.

I think this is the usual EA argument, but it's just that I don't know of any way for it to really be backed with the type of quantitative analysis I'd prefer to see to change my mind on it.
You should find more effective charities. In the US at least they all have to file fairly detailed forms (Form 990) with the IRS that include the compensation of their executives as well as the major ways the charity spends its money. That can help you steer well clear of the 70%+ overhead charities.
We'll definitely give pricing some thought, you're right that it's probably time to revisit.

That's not the case for all charities... you want to check out Charity Navigator and find charities that spend a proportion of their funds on programs that you deem worthwhile.

This is why I've donated to the American Red Cross (89.8% of donations go to their programs, meaning every $10 you give, $8.98 of it goes to charity), and RAINN - Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network, who use 91.2% of donations on programs.
> I wonder if the Bezos-Scott divorce will be a warning sign for entrepreneurs.

The answer to that is: no. Absolutely nothing of consequence has changed about marital considerations for entrepreneurs in the past several decades. That is regardless of the big Bezos divorce (ie that didn't change anything, there was nothing interesting or new about it; it's merely an agreement that Jeff and his wife came to as a split).
Is it? It only becomes a problem retroactively. It's like two athletes, one out plays the value of his contract and the other underplays.

>some people are definitely expecting GTA ... I don't think CDPR ever promised to create a Cyberpunk-GTA clone

I don't think this is fair at all. From the earliest days of their marketing, CDPR was promising that Cyberpunk2077 would have "unprecedented" levels of customization, open world interaction, and next-level AIs. It may have been foolish for people to believe that would come true, but CDPR definitely did promise this, and I think it's perfectly understandable that many people feel that they were straight up lied to.

It's a classic case where CDPR just overhyped itself too much. If you ignore the ridiculous amount of bugs, it is a decent game, but it definitely is not at all the "unprecedented" game that CDPR hyped it up to be.
It might follow the SHOULD or it might not. It's not Firefox's problem. It's not Firefox's SHOULD.

I would assume that they'd have wealth scheduled to be given away post-death, so that accidental/premature death wouldn't be too bad, yes. But that's an interesting point of how it can be difficult to give away fast enough, so perhaps you might as well start now, since e.g. if someone had to give away billions very quickly, it would probably not be allocated well compared to if they had a few decades to do it.

I don't think I will end up wealthy enough to worry about this myself of course, but it's another factor to take note of.
Yeah, but for smaller companies there is usually options and preferred ones etc. The upside is a lot larger as well of course.

Awful? This is miles ahead of nearly ever other game studio out there. How do I know?

One of the people I served with aboard the USS Honolulu is a game designer for Darkpaw Games. They have nothing like this. Not even close.

Another person is a high-level executive at Activision-Blizzard. He has compensation that is generous, but it took him 17 years to get there.

Yet another personal friend is a junior developer at Obsidian Entertainment. They don't have anything like this, at his level.

Maybe their system isn't perfect, but its a hell of a better than nothing.

A used Q in good shape can now be had for a reasonable amount of cash. I’m still on Q1 and love it. (Although the hardware interface improvements to Q2 are subtle but impressive.)
That's true, but a charity doesn't (usually) actually use the stock - they would sell it to spend it when they needed the money, and I think (perhaps I'm not correct here since I don't have data) they generally sell equities instantly post-donation, with the main purpose of donating stock instead of cash being for personal tax purposes.
Do we have to outlaw it?

How about just making it no longer tax deductible as a start and see how that goes? Spend some of the money on increased consumer protection.

1 incredible developer could potentially be as good as 100 in the extreme case. But 1 software developer will never be as good as 1000 developers, which is why organizations operating effectively at scale dominate in success.

Similarly I believe giving money to random people is primarily making you yourself feel good. This is fine, but it isn’t very effective except to make yourself feel altruistic.

I prefer to give to organizations that are focused and organized. One of my personal favorites is Liberty in North Korea https://www.libertyinnorthkorea.org

I firmly believe an organization dedicated to helping slaves in a communistic dictatorship escape is better than me giving $500 to my friend. But this should be an analysis you make for yourself in regards to your philanthropic giving.

They're definitely different paradigms of thinking than typical coding. I enjoy regexes, but definitely get how other people would find them bizarre.

Personally, I've never liked SQL, though. As with regexes, a little does no harm. But building anything substantial with it always turns into what feel like absurd bank shots to me. I don't just have to cast everything into the relational paradigm, I have to try to guess how a couple million lines of DB server code is going to map that back into operations I actually understand.

That said, as with most technologies that I don't personally like, people seem to build sufficiently effective systems and profitable businesses on top of them. So I think it's down to personal cognitive differences and matters of taste. Let a thousand flowers bloom, I say.
uh I'm a gamedev at my dayjob and I'm working on a game design mfa so ... I know? my favorite game is INSIDE and it's a total chore to play. But I think it has a LOT going on and is extremely interesting. OP is saying Cyberpunk is not fun -and- it has nothing going on intellectually -and- they played it all the way through twice? Really, that's a mixed set of signals. If you think it's not fun -and- it has nothing going on, why play it -twice-?

> the game is totally dumb and a complete waste of time to those more philosophically inclined

Not specifically but it can could be used for it. GraphQL just a message spec (like dare I say, SOAP). But if you use it with BFF then the value of the dynamic query aspects seems less valuable. With a BFF your App/UI and endpoints can be tightly coupled. If a specific page/component/action needs data structured in a specific way then you just make the endpoint do exactly that. You can accomplish this over GraphQL but it seems like an unnecessary extra layer at that point.
uhh, the GP said $45k/month, so that's $540k/year.

I've worked at some large companies, and none would accept that as a cost baseline for basic metrics. But if you said, "We'll cap it at $200k for 5,000 servers" then it gets more interesting.

The exceptions are if they're in a NewRelic or Splunk-type $$$$ deal:

1) they might save money by migrating or

2) they might use the lower cost to re-negotiate their Cadillac deals.

If you've used Cloudwatch at a medium or large-scale metrics and alerting, please post a comment how that worked out. I find their features/graphs too minimal, but I've never been forced to make it work as the sole metrics/monitoring/alerting tool.

(New managers always parrot, "Let's just use Cloudwatch!" their first month on the job, but then reality sinks in and any existing monitoring solution is by far the least of their problems. My favorite question to ask is, "So how do we migrate these existing dashboards that everybody uses? Ever done that?" followed by icy silence.)

It's clear that the justification is in the two sentences preceding the "very clear" comment.
> Calling OS APIs will do that DNS server thing

Calling the OS APIs isn't calling a DNS server.

If the OS API calls a DNS server, that's not really the higher-level API’s problem. If you've decided to override OS APIs and do your own ground up implementation, then you basically need to do everything an OS-level API would do if it was behaving correctly. So you either need to parse all the appropriate system files (hosts, nsswitch.conf, etc.) with the appropriate special handling of localhost domains, or have your own equivalent, app specific configuration.

The “what are you supposed to do?” complaint seems to be complaining that replacing the core OS-level name resolution facility to avoid the possibility that it doesn't comply with one spec recommendation while avoiding loss of other desirable features involves quite bit of complexity. Which, yeah, it does. The whole reason to have OS level services like that is to prevent every app that does networking from having to reimplement basic services.

Eh, this comes across as hipsterism. I know it's trendy to hate on the game right now, but c'mon.

How much of the game have you played? The entire main quest is about transhumanism and corporate control. Cyberpsychosis and the Maelstrom are used as a means for examining the results of the overuse of body modification.

Just like the Cyberpunk RPG, it was very heavily inspired by Gibson's work, and I mean that in a good way.

This depend on the kind of legal relationship one has with the company. If you’re working as independent contractor with a B2B arrangement, the notion of overtime does not really exist. If however you are employed through the “employment contract” (“umowa o prace”), the limits on overtime are really strict, and you must be paid for it, in fact 50% extra, and double pay for overtime worked during nights, sundays and holidays.

I don’t know what’s the typical arrangement in game industry, but in software engineering industry at large, B2B contracts are very common, due to rather preferable tax treatment. B2B gives 10-30% increase in net pay, and its downsides are lack of mandatory severance, mandatory time off days, overtime pay etc. In most scenarios these are not an issue, because if one can negotiate high pay justifying B2B, one can also negotiate time off and lack of overtime. Don’t know about game industry though.
Many charities keep their resources in investment structures. These are often called endowments.

> a charity doesn't (usually) actually use the stock - they would sell it to spend it when they needed the money

It sounds like that means that withholding the money in order to make it grow better wouldn't actually help them then because then they wouldn't be able to spend it when needed.
Shouldn't advertisers instead care about the acquisition cost per customer and revenue per customer? Do publishers not offer pricing based on these things?
Exactly and this whole thing really solidifies the concept of never giving out specific deadlines unless you've basically completed the product and just doing minor touchups and even then you _still_ pad it by 2x.

The problem however is that execs want exact dates and meanwhile marketing is just hyping up the product which yields to crazy expectations from consumers and this forces the engineers to even more crunch and degrade the quality of the whole thing. Vicious cycle indeed.
