angryasian··on Why Silicon Valley has so many Bad Managers
In engineering Hiring good managers is not what they optimize for. Yes Engineering management should still have a high level of understanding of engineering principals within that domain, but management also because a people skill. Out of all my interviews, people skills and EQ are very often overlooked.
angryasian··on Millennials are not getting married
this sounds incredibly misogynistic.
angryasian··on Millennials are not getting married
The concept of marriage is an outdated concept. If people want to enter a mutually beneficial union, pre nuptial agreements should be a standard and not left up to courts or whatever archaic laws are on the books. People should be educated on what the union encompasses should it fail.

The biggest issues are that health care and taxes are tied to the idea of just being in a union.

angryasian··on Waymo is opening its driverless service to more people in Phoenix
I don't buy this repetitions argument at all. A computer and machine learning go through billions of driving scenarios more than any human could if the data is available.
angryasian··on Waymo is opening its driverless service to more people in Phoenix
I always thought it was pretty clear that Waymo wanted to license out the tech.
angryasian··on Waymo is opening its driverless service to more people in Phoenix
I don't think so at least not in the short term. Demand in major metros is much higher than supply. Google will never be able to expand fast enough, in terms of getting approvals from cities, getting the tech right to be able to handle cities, and just the amount of cars on the street. We are probably looking at awhile before it is an actual threat to these other services. Who knows what will happen in that time.

getting from where Tesla currently is to where Waymo is, is a big leap.
angryasian··on Trump Campaign Actively Discussing Radical Measures to Bypass Election Results
are you not paying attention or is everything he's saying, he's just joking
angryasian··on Spotify Employees Threaten to Strike If Joe Rogan Podcasts Aren’t Removed
gaslighting - Using denial, misdirection, contradiction, and misinformation, gaslighting involves attempts to destabilize the victim and delegitimize the victim's beliefs.

He can't be a right wing extremist because he supported a fringe democratic candidate.

angryasian··on Stop just using “Front end” or “Back end” to describe the Engineering you like
couldn't you just figure out where you align by reading the job description. Ultimately front end and back end have different skill sets.
angryasian··on Trump administration gives TikTok 45 days to sell to Microsoft or leave US
So instead of chinese spyware its American spyware. Great!
angryasian··on Trump administration gives TikTok 45 days to sell to Microsoft or leave US
You mean the same way his campaign uses facebook and twitter as a propaganda platform. Thats really the most important issue here. He can run political ads on both platforms and they do nothing about it. Tiktok reaches a gen z and millenials and he can't do anything about it.
angryasian··on I used HEY for a week, but I’m going back to Gmail
Completely agree with this. I didn't even know I received email until I checked Everything area or each individual area. They need a badge indicating where new emails are coming in, so I can check. Especially with trying to get new users accustomed to their UI.
angryasian··on On Redis master-slave terminology (2018)
what are people calling it instead of master / slave ?
angryasian··on Gavin Newsom Declares California a ‘Nation-State’
this isn't true. Since the house has been capped, it hasn't grown or hasn't been redistributed based on population changes. A person in Wymoing has more representation than a person in California.
angryasian··on Uber Moving Away from Microservices
We've moved from micro services to macro services.. I don't see a problem with that /s
angryasian··on Reddit CEO: TikTok Is ‘Fundamentally Parasitic’
Not every social app needs to be completely open to everything especially what may be considered controversial social issues. I'm not defending what they did, I'm just saying if their goal is to create a silly worry free experience, topics of controversy run counter to that.
angryasian··on Reddit CEO: TikTok Is ‘Fundamentally Parasitic’
You mean like Facebook that was involved with Cambridge Analytica and still today allows hostile nations to interfere in our elections
angryasian··on It’s Unreal Just How Awful ‘Real ID’ Is
use your passport. I personally won't opt in to a real id unless needed.
angryasian··on Teens have figured out how to mess with Instagram's tracking algorithm
I'm really curious of what the future of the internet is. The reason these services are mainstream and popular is because they are free and offer customized experiences. Without ad money how would you expect more services like this in the future. Before you say charge money for them... I just don't believe this works within the context of social applications, plus the group of people that primarily use these applications don't really have the ability to pay.
angryasian··on Nvidia Geforce Now launches at $5 a month
cool this is what I was looking for, which games are supported. Stadia's has a weak library. Being able to stream my existing Steam library is/would be amazing.
angryasian··on Better protecting kids’ privacy on YouTube
They can still make ad money, just not targetted ad money. The reality is that if theres money to be made someone will do it. Youtube is just another marketing channel, they'll be able to move into merchandising and other money making option
angryasian··on Better protecting kids’ privacy on YouTube
all cartoons that were aired were ads to sell toys.
angryasian··on Better protecting kids’ privacy on YouTube
you say this like all cartoons growing up weren't giant ads. Almost every cartoon of my generation was created by a toy company. He-Man, GI Joe, Transformers, etc.
angryasian··on The Sneaky Plan to Subvert the Electoral College for the Next Election
Do you even understand how the Govt works ? The president should be looking at the entirety of the US not just big states or small states.

Its the senate that is used as the equalizer. Small states have just as much representation as all other states.

angryasian··on Ask HN: Going from manager to executive. What should I know or learn?
I thought most companies consider executive level VP and higher, going from manager to VP is a big jump.

If its a startup probably nothing. I don't think a bigger company would jump you this many levels.

angryasian··on Ask HN: Does equity motivate you?
No

Its harder to leave a job that pays well, with good benefits and great work / life balance above all

angryasian··on Uber lays off around 350 more across Eats, self-driving and other departments
Why even need vehicles ? Japan has outstanding food vending machines.
angryasian··on Reddit Reaction to First iPhone Announcement
it has wifi... had to laugh at that one
angryasian··on Nvidia CEO says Google is the only customer building its own silicon at scale
Also a Quest owner, and find it incredibly compelling. Very good content overall. Still a long way to go, but as a standalone headset there are some great capabilities that I'm seeing that can't be done with a tethered headset. Check out the new space pirates arena videos. I've already modded the headset , look up frankenquest ( makes a huge difference IMO ). VRCover added. Also unlocked and sideloading.
