Not entirely true.

Starfield was amd exclusive, so Intel didn't get the game (or support it) until early access.

Nvidia probably didn't get as much time to optimize the game or work with Bethesda as they normally would.

It's not a sense of entitlement. It's the adrenaline rush of stealing

Why is epam on this list? They charge more than most other contracting firms

Has Microsoft publicly commented on Google's WEI?

Even if the external investigators are good and it is truly the intention of upper management to get to the bottom of it and they are fully prepared to fire anyone who did something wrong, (I'm not casting doubt on their motives) I truly believe that the external investigation will clear them or they'll point to 1 person and fire them.

Reason being is memories fade, fear of reprisals, people make excuses or believe certain things weren't as they were, and there is likely not a lot written down.

Unfortunately, it's likely to be a he said/she said situation.

Idk why they don't just run the test 3 times and average the result.

It would fix a lot of these issues... If you are testing a cooler, remove, clean CPU, reapply thermal compound and reseat cooler.

It's really not that hard to make their testing, maybe not perfect, but a lot better

You should look into Zojirushi. They make the best rice cookers

The high end rice cookers use sensors and will vent excess moisture or hold in moisture as need and can adjust cook time.

Zojirushi calls their sensors "micom"

"unhoused" refers to the fact they don't have housing.

Homeless includes people who do not have homes.

These 2 groups have overlap, but there are people in each distinct group as well.

Some examples:

  • you are couch surfing, you are homeless, but not unhoused.

  • you live in an RV by choice, you are homeless, but housed

  • you live on the street, you are both homeless AND unhoused

  • you have a home, you are neither homeless nor unhoused.

Referring to "homeless people on the street" as unhoused is in fact accurate

A lot of managers measure their epeen by their headcount.

When you are spending billions of dollars on programs, 1m is peanuts.

If you can speed up a billion dollar program by 1%/improve by 1%, you got your money's worth.

But people of that tier usually make a much bigger impact.

Anders Hejlsberg, the creator of C# and typescript is a great example.

He created two major modern languages, take typescript alone, there are tens of thousands of developers who work on just the tooling for typescript between eslint, webpack, react, angular, etc.

900k total comp is huge, but not astronomical in my opinion.

If you look at levels.fyi, it seems to match up with very high level engineers at most FAANG companies.

If you were to bring in someone to head up all of your AI for writing, you'd want to bring someone really good in.

These people are few and far between and money is a strong lure.

While this total comp is probably beyond you or I, there are definitely a lot of people in that ballpark.

900k base salary would be nuts
