burn rate? so they are still running on vc? i guess it doesnt surprise me. they arent the worst thing to get massive vc. i will be very entertaining to see when the next recession hits and all these shitty companies dry up overnight. and it will be nice to have fewer arrogant tech peoples around who only have money because of misguided investors who have more money than sense.


well AMP was the death rattle and this is the flat-line. Google is officially dead. Another corporate zombie. if you want to be plugged in to new and exciting things, look elsewhere. What a crazy ride its been.


back before UI was designed by committee and guided by feedback from brain-dead iPhone users.


for the same reason theranos used to come up all the time. because investment and hype didnt appear to align with the true value of what the company in question was offering.


There really isn't much to compare to theranos, as it was based completely on a lie. The only thing in common here is just a crappy CEO. WeWork has a solid premise, it's just highly over-leveraged and over-valued.


well there is something wrong if you want the company to be run well. if leaders of a company are selected by any other trait than merit, then the company will under-perform. if the company has a monopoly, that means a long and drawn out period of that particular market not achieving what it could or maybe even damaging peoples lives if the market is important.


That's not the point of control. Think of it as the company selecting their CEOs as any other company would, but the family that owns the company setting guidelines, like, even if we could use our tech in military projects as well, we're not going to get involved in military projects. They don't run the day to day business, but give them guidelines.


Right, so hedge your bets on unborn spawn. That’s the best we can do to steer a ship in the right direction for future generations.


how does this game claim to only need 100MB of ram? small maps sizes?

edit: woops i remembered wrong. i wonder how sales are going for this game?


Since it's currently[1] the 8th best-rated game on Steam of all time, I'd say really well.

Steam Store ranking is a bit iffy (and you included DLC and bundles), SteamDB ranks Factorio as n=°2 (behind Portal 2) :

Also, the OP was talking about Mindustry, which, at 89% is in good position too !

factorio generates terrain on the fly so this isnt possible. also you alter the terrain by placing stuff on it.

what is a retailer? does this mean that if i make a website to sell my small indie game, i have to follow all the ephemeral accessibility rules or else be sued?
