Forget HQ2. Amazon is already in Denver and rapidly expanding. And it’s relying on few public funds to do so, at least compared with what the state is offering for the big prize. A growing number of Amazon tech employees work in Broomfield and Denver, and those offices still have 33 openings . On another career page, Amazon has about 80 full-time openings in Colorado, including hiring for “ a new team ” in Boulder to focus on digital advertising , consumer electronics software engineers and tech workers with security clearance to help U.S. Department of Defense organizations roll out cloud computing. The Seattle behemoth is also expanding nontech jobs — it needs a manager for its first brick-and-mortar bookstore in the state at a mall in Lone Tree; it needs more Prime Now associates for new locations in Lakewood , Broomfield and the Denver Tech Center ; and there are its two distribution centers operating in Aurora, with a third one opening this fall in Thornton. … [Read more...] about HQ2 or not, Amazon is already in Colorado — and rapidly expanding

Video game movies have long been seen as cursed , with adaptations usually turning out mediocre at best and terrible at worst . Yet something has shifted in the last few years, with films such as Detective Pikachu and Sonic The Hedgehog proving the formula can work, and studios snapping up adaptation deals at incredible rates. A feature by The Ringer has looked into the phenomenon, tapping a few industry experts to explain how and why the industry interest in games has grown so exponentially. A few projects were singled out as turning points in the reputation of video game adaptations including Sonic The Hedgehog, the 2020 film which overcame a rough start to become one of the top performing video game movies ever .

Along with the reveal of Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade's story content and PS5 upgrade , Tetsuya Nomura gave some updates to the development process of FF7 Remake's future. In a translated interview by Famitsu (provided to us by Square Enix), Nomura explained that he's transitioning away from being the co-director of the project, and that Naoki Hamaguchi will now be the sole director moving forward. However, Nomura mentioned that not much will change for him. When asked about his role as a director and concept designer for the multiple projects in the works, Nomura prefaced, "There have been three Final Fantasy 7-related games announced, but as I mentioned before, I have more projects on my plate at the moment than ever before."

One man’s plague is another man’s “annus mirabilis”, as one Isaac Newton has shown us. The Latin phrase for “wonderful year” refers to 1666, when, at the tender age of 23, the physicist conceived of world-changing theories and inventions in quarantine on forced sabbatical from his studies in Cambridge , thereby avoiding death by bubonic plague that had descended upon England. Far from the madding crowd and with little else but imagination for company, Newton’s interminably curious mind yielded revolutionary discoveries in calculus, motion, optics and gravitation, defining much of the modern world as we know it. Just as scientists are currently racing to develop a vaccine for COVID-19, there are inventors tinkering away in quarantine and entrepreneurs creating ground-breaking solutions in isolation to help us all navigate a post-pandemic world once the plague of our generation has been extinguished. How are some of the highly driven leaders amongst us optimising their … [Read more...] about Singapore business leaders share: How to make the best of your ‘quaran-time’

After taking some time off for creative introspection over the last few months, Westaway is presenting a new summer menu, promising a reinterpretation of British gastronomy.

Kicking off the … [Read more...] about Jaan by Kirk Westaway finally reopens after circuit breaker with new menu
