Obviously it's not the Pokemon IP, but check out TemTem[1]. The world feels much more alive and they've implemented raids, PVP, and other MMO features.
To be fair, it was basically an MVP. It did everything it needed to and nothing more the entire time I worked on it. Definitely didn’t love it, but it did expose me to cool problems to work on.
I'm not sure the CEO would label it as MVP. I remember pretty well that it was portrayed as cutting edge and robust technology (hence the name Bedrock). But I do agree with you that it exposes you to some interesting areas.
There weren’t originally, but eventually there was a dev QA team mostly surmised of folks in the UP. Dunno what years you were there, but the smartscan folks were all just hourly contracts from the local college.
Expensify! I work as a remote engineer, but we have remote employees all over the world (Europe, Asia, North America, Australia) that don't have their salaries adjusted for COL.
In previous versions if you typed in the name of tab in the url bar it would offer you the option of a tab you already had open (on any of your computers using FF sync) among the search options.
I'm 25 and work in software and I have found it to be a decent (not amazing, but solid) daily driver given you're willing to put up with some annoyances.
I use the app Termius to allow me to SSH into a VPS and my home server and do development. I don't really do web development in my free time so I don't have to worry about the pains of not having a js console. I also develop almost exclusively in vim, so paired with the magic keyboard it's basically a very lightweight laptop.
It's great for Lightroom, with a dongle (everyone's favorite thing) you can connect your camera and upload RAW photos, then edit them with Lightroom and upload to your favorite site.
It's wonderful for Plex/Netflix/Hulu. Offline viewing is amazing, battery life is better than my laptop by far so it lasts long spurts where I can't charge it.
For creatives, there are some amazing digital art apps. My friend hypes up Procreate every time we talk about iPads (he's also 25/software and loves his iPad Pro).
And lastly, it's about $1k cheaper than buying a MacBook Pro (which I had previously). I was able to trade in my 2013 MBP and old iPhone and made the final cost about $300, which is much more palatable than the extra $1k or so I'd need for a machine that doesn't really need that much computing power.
Disclaimer: I do use a MacBook Pro for work (running VMs, development in vim) and it's definitely easier (has JS console, can do development without internet, can use IDEs that don't exist on iPad).
>Obviously cost of home cooking vs prepared depends a lot on where you'd eat out
Given that most delivery services have a minimum, it's pretty difficult to spend less than $15-20 to get your food delivered.
In my experience, it's about $2-4/meal to cook, $12-15/meal to eat out, and $20+/meal to get delivery. Imagine that over a year. If you're cooking at $4/meal vs eating out at $12/meal, that's ~$3000 over a year!
On the other hand, you are paying for convenience and some people are willing (and able) to shoulder that cost.
All of those things and taking away the requirement to own a $1k gaming rig would make it a much better experience than what it is now. I currently own the original Vive with the TPCAST (SFFPC doesn't allow for the extra PCI slot) and it's a pain to set up and there aren't many good games with the depth of a standard "flat" game.
I actually think PSVR is the most likely to hit it off since the PS4+PSVR combo is much cheaper consumer friendly option.
>Cos that would have a discrimination lawsuit written all over it. HR and/or Recruiters also never gives candid feedback for the same reason. Because if they do, someone will eventually sue the company for discrimination.
Out of curiosity, is it just one of those inevitabilities or is it really easy to get in a bind with discrimination in rejecting (or firing I'd imagine) someone?
While you're probably correct right now, one way that he could begin monetizing it is becoming a recruiting platform that's largely phone based. I think more and more people are moving towards doing most things on mobile platforms, so why not job interviews?
