    One metric I track is what % of users return the next day. I'm trying to bring it up to 10-20% before I assume there will be any revenue. Currently at 5% for my game, which may be …

    Are you coming from the software world? If you are, you may be surprised to learn that semi companies actually reply to their job posts. They never had the problem of having tons o…

    Investors are balking at putting up more cash, so Nvidia is offering to backstop their own sales. It's not a red flag in terms of fraud but is very much a sign of uncertainty of re…

    Except the point is that you shouldn't need to inspect your assembly. Assembly does exactly what the higher level code tells it to (just about) whereas you cannot read your English…

    This is the wrong logic. Immigrants can make exactly the same as natives and still suppress wages. Fundamentally how prices are set is someone sets a price, and if there are no tak…
