Yes, but I’m saying the algorithm for layoffs factors in “performance”, which can be factored from past bonus allocations.
The algorithm isn’t going to lay off 150’s, but might preferentially select 100’s.
I don’t have inside info, I’m just making assumptions that the data has to come from somewhere.
Sort of. Managers still get in a room and decide how the bonus pool should be distributed by ranking people.
Having a more aggressive manager is important for getting a better bonus.
I could see this factoring into layoff decisions.
Does this mean the other products they ship aren’t hit with tariffs? Are they somehow wholly made in the US vs the ones that were dropped?
Edit: found my own answer:
“We priced our laptops when tariffs on imports from Taiwan were 0%. At a 10% tariff, we would have to sell the lowest-end SKUs at a loss.”
Instructions unclear, penis stuck in hot end.
Whatever. You asked why I went off on what you said and I’m explaining why. You keep questioning that. If you don’t get it, you’re obviously obtuse. I’m not the only one who thought what you said was bad. It actually doesn’t matter what you said afterwards. What you said was normalizing harassment of people who put there work out in public, and you won’t admit it. You just keep saying the same thing over that that isn’t what you said. I was the second person to tell you what you said was bad. Many people downvoted you. If you want another opinion, give an LLM the original comment and your response, and ask it how your response could be interpreted. It will probably tell you that you were normalizing harassment.
I’m sorry is this argument hinging on our disagreeing about the term “shit take”?
You tell me. I’ve explained what it sounds like you’re saying to the rest of us.
So a shit take is a public harassment?
In the context of the comment you were responding to? Yes!
Count your downvotes dude. Who is arguing in bad faith? I think you should take a second and go back and read the thread from the beginning from the mindset of someone who doesn’t know what’s going on in your head.
In case it isn’t clear, it sounds like you’re belittling harassment to what you want to call a “shit take”, and that you think that harassment is basically the fault of the harrassee for doing whatever they do in “public”. Maybe that isn’t what you meant, but to the rest of us, that’s what you said.
You:
I mean at the end of the day if you don’t want people to come at you with their shit takes you shouldn’t put your stuff out for the public to see. That is also a choice.
Already did, see above.
I want you to explain how you came the conclusion that I said this harassment was ok when I unequivocally and clearly said it wasn’t.
I already told you. You said the act of being a public figure means you are inviting harassment. If you don’t understand how this normalizes harassment, I don’t think there’s much else to say.
Do you read comments before you respond?
Allow me to quote myself where I a) showed that I read your comment, and b) anticipated your response:
And don’t fucking tell me you’re not saying it’s okay, but public figures should “expect it”. No. Full stop. Fuck that. By saying they should expect it you’re fucking normalizing it and saying it’s okay.
You can’t say public figures should expect harassment and are inviting it and then say people who harass them are not absolved. You are absolving them by saying it’s expected and invited.
The act of streaming means you’re using a megaphone. You’re deliberately and intentionally inviting the public.
“Using a megaphone” implies he was trying to push an agenda. Being a public figure/entertainer is not well described by the phrase “using a megaphone.”
He’s deliberately and intentionally inviting the public, yes… to be fucking entertained while he streams a video game. He’s not trying to teach them anything, or convince them of anything, or push an agenda.
He had people come into his stream and start talking racist shit and he shut it down. In no way does he have to put up with it just because he is a public figure.
I mean at the end of the day if you don’t want people to come at you with their shit takes you shouldn’t put your stuff out for the public to see. That is also a choice.
Do you even fucking hear yourself? Saying that being a public figure means you’re deliberately asking for harassment and abuse is fucking insane! What the fuck is wrong with you or anyone else who thinks it’s okay to hurl abuse at someone just because they’re a fucking public figure. And don’t fucking tell me you’re not saying it’s okay, but public figures should “expect it”. No. Full stop. Fuck that. By saying they should expect it you’re fucking normalizing it and saying it’s okay. That’s a choice you’re making, and it’s frankly disgusting.
I was going to say this is good for Canada, but part of the draw to bring engineers here is the path to the H1B. If there is no H1B end-game, maybe they won’t bring them to Canada either.
That said, we have some sizeable offices already established here, so maybe there is still incentive.
No one is saying all games should suddenly turn VR, no one wants that and no one expects that to happen.
there should be games for people who like VR because some people do like to be active.
So no, “it should be a second-class citizen” is a nonsense take.
Sounds like you have a different definition of second-class citizen.
But how many layers does it take to get to Adolf Hitler?
Get Brianthompson’d, Reddit.
That’s why agile was created. Because people don’t know what they want in panel 1.
Yeah, it requires replacing the “you test the rocket” with “you test the rocket and it fails or doesn’t meet the updated mission specifications” and the “you go to mars” with “you want to go to mars”
Bah, I was there. .jif was barely used and came 5 years after. They should have used a different name!
Gagascript. One is soft, one is hard.
The REPO devs are quoted as saying:
But the article writer turns this into:
If that was what they meant, that’s what they would have said, since what they said doesn’t imply that at all. Depending on the API, the mods could be doing any number of things with even a single player that would send network traffic through the roof.
Telling modders this is just about lobby size might diminish the impact of what the devs are requesting. An inexperienced modder who isn’t changing lobby size might not realize they’re inadvertently being a bad citizen with other stuff they’re doing.
As someone else mentioned, they should look into protecting themselves within their API though. Rate limits, etc. Since this whole thing took off on them unexpectedly, they probably weren’t prepared, so in the meantime they’re requesting the mods be more careful. Ultimately, this won’t work though.
Tbh, if it was just a lobby size thing, I would think that would be super easy to defend against server-side…
