That's one region, not the multiple region that OP mentioned

The tagline is really buzzwordy ... I have no idea what that means.

I really enjoyed the "cinematography" that went into this -- made it extra special. The little boop comment in the middle of a very crucial detachment made me laugh pretty hard. Well done!
Re:Ask HN: Signing bonus situation sketchiness on Monday November 19, 2018 @06:27PM (#18490631)
I've had both -- signing bonuses that are provided day 1, but can be clawed back if I don't stay the expected length of time. And I have had signing bonuses that are paid out on my one year anniversary. You should have asked for it to have been written/clarified in your contract though if it was not clear.
Re:C-Sky: A $6 Linux dev board with HDMI and USB on Sunday November 11, 2018 @12:30PM (#18427450)
2013? That wiki link says the release date was 2016, but the company "had entered insolvency. Many customers still had not received their pre-orders". Sounds like it wasn't profitable to create such cheap devices?
Re:The Irresistible Urge to Build Cities from Scratch on Wednesday November 07, 2018 @03:21PM (#18402047)
Perhaps there could be a subway system (complete with elevators) under, at least, the inner portion of OP's imaginary city?
Sounds like a mistake? Maybe they sent a letter to the wrong customer?
> including the renowned Dr Matthew Lukwiya

Short video about Dr. Lukwiya's story. He was on a sabbatical, but rushed back to provide aid, while others were running in panic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7LpjpuOvc8

By "sabotage" they meant "did not cooperate". Title is more click-baity then accurate.

It's fun to read through this history, while I'm listening to "Where Wizards Stay Up Late".

In reading through the thread [1], I noticed Marc and Jim Davis used an example audio file from the NSA that no longer exists: http://nsa.gov/pub/sounds/gorby.au

Anyone know what the story behind that was? Was that a common example?

> “We turned the company upside down,” Cook said. “Email searches, data center records, financial records, shipment records. We really forensically whipped through the company to dig very deep and each time we came back to the same conclusion: This did not happen. There’s no truth to this.”

Wow, ok then..
