What better way to do that than decrease availability, I ask, both rhetorically and sarcastically! CUDA-proper did well, at least partially, because it was put in front of everyone. This is taking an exclusivity angle that doesn't make much sense for ecosystem development, IMO.

I suspect this goes to show how much influence/priority B2B carries, my point is it's a mistake they've made before. The maintenance/support costs I believe they're trying to remove have paid dividends for CUDA and countless others. Anyway, a play on the tagline before I go: "Together we advance... licensing and removal of [positive] feedback loops over product development"

Say 'Whizbang Model 6.8' comes out and tokens burn ~5x faster; what to do? Agree to give up less of the business or hope for proportional growth? The two million that had been agreed is no longer truly available/applicable. How this and the equity 'shake out' are probably relevant.

At risk of upsetting people, token value is arbitrary. What model, what time of day? What transaction? All to say: I have no idea what the Tax Man or our fake business would want :) Above my pay grade, thankfully!

I'm also hesitant to 'go for the gold' because it only means more B2B monopoly money, juiced stats, or expectation. Or, God forbid, become the resident Token Expert. That praise you mention is exactly what I don't want!

Choosing to wait for the PIP instead, if $EMPLOYER goes this way. Tell me the work I'm not doing and how pieces of ~~flair~~, sorry, tokens might help. Or don't, I don't care.

I'm not so sure, and I'm looking at the friggin' thing: https://enterprise.github.com/trial

For the small, small price of your business email address, it's yours.

Not at Meta but see hints building towards similar madness. War Games, it is. How about chess instead? I'm not big on market manipulation.

The 'system' context captures networks; much to my dismay, this has been a problem for no fewer than three employers. It's painfully common for things to expect the networks to persist. They don't really consume resources, so I see no reason to invite the systematic heartburn.

When? When there's disk pressure. Maybe some longer term (weekly, monthly?) to keep a lid on things. The image cache provides a benefit, no sense fighting it. At our rate, daily pruning means I might lose hours (through a week) repeatedly pulling the same images.

You answer your own question! Not remotely to the same extent. Quake, for instance, gave a small advantage for jump height [with high FPS]. Skyrim would outright break.

Also, you've listed three generations of the same family; goldsrc, the child of Quake, predates Skyrim/Creation by at least a decade. Of those, Source would be the timely match. Not even close to the same amount of jank. Just... no. You aren't tricking me into writing lists.

I don't really intend to be critical of Skyrim, like many: I love the jank. It's expected. It's a Bethesda game.

Anyway, for those in this situation, some anecdotes. I've outright refused to do questionable things and kept my job. I've also played incompetent so the sharks look elsewhere. Point being... options exist, don't negotiate [only] with yourself.

Would be remiss if I missed the opportunity to quote Louis Rossman: "don't accept the premise of assholes"
