That and the fact that our factories weren't being regularly bombed.

I like the escrow idea. I've also seen forgivable loans based on certain obligations (hiring, salary levels, etc.)

But they are taking advantage of a bunch of things; local governments inability to govern certain areas (whether due to state or federal laws) or that the mayor is thinking about election time and who would say jobs are bad?

In a lot of cases it's just used as a threat to get a better deal. "Let us pay less taxes or we go to China"

Definitely agree. I would argue that streaming has had the largest impact both because, as you mention, it makes for a better audience experience and it demonstrates the capabilities of PC gaming graphics-wise. Streamers and Let's Players have probably helped expose more games to a larger audience that would have previously not seen them.

I'd be curious if you are seeing the results of 'shotgun' style job searching. Sending your resume anywhere and everywhere with the hopes of getting a callback. I imagine that would make it difficult to research every possibility.

Anyone have any more information on this? Going off just the post leaves a lot of questions.

Interesting map. Only suggestion being that at certain zoom levels the yellow and blue points are small and get lost in the background.

I seriously don't agree with working for free for "exposure and experience". Didn't HN just have a couple of posts recently about the serious negatives of unpaid internships?

I'm surprised no one has said anything about the intern. Decent presentation and solid work. Good on him.

I really enjoy write-ups like these. Anyone have a resource that is primarily blog posts/articles like this?
