Its in google / Nest's best interest to put in common place security measures like MFA or notifications like detecting an unknown device accessing the camera. If I'm paying this much $ for a product, i don't want to…
I believe code design is ultimately subjective. Unlike other metrics like performance which can be easily and definitively measured, you can't easily measure 'good' code. The definition of 'good' changes based on the…
Love this thread. I see this a lot, where engineers blindly follow best practices and have urges to re-factor code when its not necessary. Big files are not necessarily bad and I love that a lot of the comments are with…

Its sad that everytime there is a post about Facebook the comments are extremely toxic and negative, and don't really even discuss the article itself. I would argue that 80% of all tech companies are doing close to 0 in…
I think try catch is fine with some documentation or commenting around why the developer chose to do so instead of specific handling for all the different possible exceptions.
Why shouldn't people optimize for the number? At the end of the day, people change, and being optimistic or excited about the job today doesn't mean they'll feel that way 4 years from now. Money on the other hand, is…
this is so true, and my experience exactly. one thing i do disagree with is commenting, there is a time in a place and its hard to derive on a rule on exactly where, when and how, but well placed comments are VERY…
competition is a good thing, it encourages all competing parties to strive for a better product. from an investment point of view, its a bit similar to Lyft vs Uber ... pretty much the exact same business, but there is…
I work on an engineering growth team that focuses on large-scale digital advertising and can say it does work, for the right business, in the right context. You need a proper analytics team, engineering team, and…
when you climb high grades the rock becomes extremely difficult to navigate and 'grip'. The common example is stacking 2-3 credit cards on top of each other and looking at the edge from the top - thats the size of the…
apparently japan is really good at this.
can you explain a bit about how preferred shares wipe out employee options? thats only in the scenario the company exits for far fewer than its current valuation?
pretty much every big company in silicon valley is known for their engineering talent, since top talent just moves around from company to company (e.g: lots of ex-googlers, ex-facebook, etc).
surprisingly however, video as a medium has exploded recently and with the advent of 'live' and popularity of stories on instagram, Snapchat is in a good spot.
i find it hard to believe that it could do worse than Twitter.
I'm actually super confused by what this is.
Anecdotal, from the small sample size I've seen from working in Silicon Valley.
Many 22 year olds with a CS degree have been coding since they were 12.
Glad to see some sanity for once and people that realize building 'trivial' apps like Twitter and Uber are not feasible 'in a weekend'. Just making sure the app is secure takes months, and security becomes more complex…
Because running the ads team at Twitter alone would take 75 people.
This is basic advertising. Google search ads and referral will bring in higher quality users because search is trigger/intent-based and referrals come from a more trustworthy source (usually), vs. FB ads that basically…
> Not until you press return Maybe true for HN, but not necessarily true for other sites like google search / FB search. It's common practice to send all keystrokes to the server to speed up searches.
I don't see why there can't be a public website for civilians to submit cases like this. Obviously there will be complex legal/moral issues, but there needs to be a way to put a spotlight on police who misuse power, as…
It's time to disrupt police states, hopefully there are start-ups already on it.
