Sora was useless because the primary value from video generation is porn. Anyone not willing to allow porn shouldn't be wasting their time on GenAI video R&D.

Every company has values. A value is simply a judgement about what is important. Maximizing shareholder value is absolutely a company value (probably the most common one). Maximizing customer, employee, or society value would be different values a company could have. There are plenty of companies that focus on customer or society value, but they are usually nonprofit. If someone is investing in a company they usually expect to be the most import stakeholder to the company.

Most companies don't actually document their company values. They use principles like Integrity and Excellence that are simply core principles that every company should strive for. You can tell if your company's values are "real" if you could imagine another successful company having nearly opposite values (without breaking the law).

Not every company should appeal to every investor, employee, or company. I wanted to work for companies in my youth that worked me to the bone while accelerating my career growth. Now that I have a family I want to work for a company that respects my personal time. I'm glad there are companies out there with different values so I was able to choose employers who aligned with my values at the time.

That was my thought, although from upthread the definition is so bad you might need to make some raspberry pi switches, too.

Mesh stuff like Google WiFi shoots for that sort of thing, it is pretty opaque to the user, with Apple style lack of configurability on nitty gritty stuff.

I piece of mail addressed to you was sufficient when I started voting

Yes, reading about how many people they killed I think the time to support a revolution has passed

Fossil derived oils and plastic do have a great many fantastic uses beyond burning them, yes. Much like the trees they came from do today.

You'd think so but man do I feel like Elrond "Our list of allies has grown thin" whenever resourcing upgrade projects comes up

If they squeeze too hard then we'll end up back in a 90s internet webpage model instead of this increasingly consolidated nonsense we have now, which might not be so bad, really.

It'll potentially affect in-house mobile software negatively, using Google's enterprise software management is already pretty rough

The believe the main reason is because semiannually is the standard in the rest of the Western world, so if a change is made it makes sense to align with that. About half of EU public companies now file semiannually after they changed their regulations in 2013.

It doesn't just screw over the little guy. It screws over retirees that are in the phase of their life where they are selling assets for income.

That's not the same thing. The question was perhaps a little vague but it was still pretty clear he meant paying more than the sticker price.

I can't be sure if that was sarcasm, but that myth about Ford's rationale for paying higher wages is not true. Ford was dealing with 370% annual turnover and had to do something to keep people in such mind-numbing repetitious jobs. Within a year of increasing wages turnover dropped to 16% and production levels increased 40% (mostly because they could consistently fill third shift positions).

Well we don't have that data yet, obviously, which is why looking at data about general tourism being down 6% is interesting, because once GDC is over you can potentially extrapolate something interesting from the delta. The widespread layoffs in game developers may confound it a bit, though.
