Annecdotally, as an ambivert, my experience with chat apps (versus physical life) results in even more social anxiety. The amount of criticism on Slack is higher than I experience in physical life. When you see a…
Given that there is tremendous code sharing of Apple's OS+AppStore software on the laptop and phone, I have not understood how both hardware products are not subject to the same rules. Phones are basically micro-laptops…
When I see Vanity Fair, I think: the Middle America Centrist I can trust.
Why not CCTV? Having video footage to subpoena after a crime is committed, then analyze, seems less surveillance society than going straight to a real-time, individual tracking data store.
1. Note that this is a news aggregator for tech startups. Tech startups in large cities tend to hire most of their experienced engineers from FAANG companies. So, it's in a tech startup's interest to critique FAANGs. 2.…
This seems like a pretty generic question, so I assume you're looking at it from a new grad standpoint. Distributed Systems is more of a technical/resource specialty. You will be optimizing data across multiple systems.…
While I agree that multi-tenant urban housing is lacking in America, the real question seems to be why no other American city has made significant progress on catching up to the Northeast corridor. I don't think that…
Research hypergamy. It's a pretty well-established phenomenon across generations.
That's essentially what GitHub is doing. You have your entire contribution history and they have a product to help managers analyze contributions across teams. I worked at a couple startups that used this to evaluate…
I agree with your analysis. My frustration is in this reality, which I think could have faster iteration speed with the right framing & education.
Oregon has decriminalized all drugs and I have heard a number of people in the Bay Area wanting to make progress beyond this without definitive results: https://www.pewtrusts.org/en/research-and-analysis/blogs/sta... .…
Drug legalization highlights one of my frustrations at the practical American dialog about controversial topics: 1. Liberals get acknowledgement that weed isn't so bad and should maybe be legal. 2. Liberals: "Legalize…
I work at YugaByteDB as a software engineer, and I encounter people in your situation regularly. You are asking HN for product-market fit basics on something that is more like a tool or innovation than an end-to-end…
I think the point is that this negative pitfall happens to people and multiple people concur. It's easy to say "fight this with positivity", most people on HN started with this philosophy. In practice, it's hard to do…
Coming from a Southern US state, I expected that the Bay Area would be more egalitarian given the language. Instead, I've found that it's more like an idea incubator setup by generational wealth that people need to…

I was 27, living in the Southern USA with a MS from a State University, feeling very similar to you. I decided to push through my comfortable malaise and got offers at early Amazon AWS & Facebook back in 2009. It…
Without harassing frat boy culture, how else could they convince developers to work long hours for such little pay compared to the rest of the industry?
I worked as a manager at a FAANG for 2 years and switched back to IC. It was fairly common practice at my company, even among directors. I actually preferred the management role, but felt like there were many downsides.…
My first job was a telco equipment manufacturer that needed to add a user-facing DSL to their embedded internet OS (the GenX iOS). I later used it with Expect to write a basic automated integration testing suite for the…
Protectionism arises when there is not equal business opportunity between nations and when nations have knowledge of unethical government campaigns using related corporations. I don't see how this is similar to treating…
