anxman··on What to Say When You're Asked for Your Salary History
Tell them no. I never share it.
anxman··on Quibi Is Shutting Down
At eBay she also purchased PayPal which added more than $50b in market cap to eBay. Can’t win em all.

At HP, market cap also grew significantly on her watch.

I feel like implying that she is a failure is almost borderline sexist.

anxman··on Show HN: Bay Area property taxes
This is pretty amazing. I just plugged in my address in San Francisco and I learned I am paying 5-10x the property taxes of basically all of my neighbors.

anxman··on Before Hack, Twitter Contractors Caught Spying on Users Including Beyonce
Anyone have fulltext?
anxman··on Levandowski files suit against Uber [pdf]
This isn't accurate. The M&A documentation from Uber confirmed that Levandowski had stolen 5 discs worth of data from Google.
anxman··on Levandowski files suit against Uber [pdf]
This guy literally committed a federal crime. I worked for Google and we saw this scum as a traitor.
anxman··on Levandowski files suit against Uber [pdf]
He needs this money because he will he broke after his prison term
anxman··on The Spectre of Caste in Silicon Valley
As a Hindu myself, I am completely disgusted that our religion is perverted in the name of discrimination. The caste system is a horrific remnant that has to be eradicated no matter where we see it.

If you cannot protect our fellow humans with compassion, no matter their creed — then you do not deserve to be a Hindu and you bring shame to all of us.

anxman··on Amazon in advanced talks to buy Zoox
I live in San Francisco in a particular neighborhood where there is a large amount of self driving cars being tested. I assure you, none are ready for prime time. I had one almost drive directly into me last week but I saw the operator take control of the wheel urgently.
anxman··on America’s ‘Fried Chicken War’
I haven't tried KKC yet. It's on my list. Also, Thomas Keller's fried chicken is wildly overrated also. Perfect fry but very unseasoned. Not worth a trip up.
anxman··on Show HN: Fantasy Congress – a fantasy sports website for politics
How is "fantasy congress" different than what we have now? All I see are a bunch of elderly white people fighting about who is lying more. It's like watching octogenarian married couples.
anxman··on GM self-driving tech unit Cruise laying off about 8% of staff
Cruise cars are constantly driving and testing in my neighborhood in SF. I can assure you, I will never step foot in one of those death machines. I see them make mistakes all the time.
anxman··on America’s ‘Fried Chicken War’
I know this is kind of heresy but there isn’t good fried chicken in the Bay Area and I’ve traveled the country in search of fried chicken. I can’t tell you how many times people have said “omigod you have to try so and sos” only to be disappointed over and over.

The best I’ve found in the US is Howlin Rays in LA (obviously) followed by Ms T in Chicago followed by the Gus’s chain.

In the Bay Area, KFC is still the most reliable.

anxman··on Banjo CEO steps down after news of past KKK membership
I love this trail of thinking though. Like, what if I told you that there are museums named after a violent domestic abuser? Should we judge Picasso for who he was, for his work, or for both?
anxman··on After 4 Years of Silence, a Call to Mom on Mother’s Day
Agreed. He’s totally ignorant. I wish for him to live through things that I experienced and then come back here and write those same things.
anxman··on After 4 Years of Silence, a Call to Mom on Mother’s Day
It’s replies like this that show a total ignorance for mental health and human dignity. You truly have no idea what some people experience inside their own homes and as a result, in their minds. Please do not listen to this person if you are experiencing problems with family. Get help and educate yourself.
anxman··on Juul Is Moving Base From San Francisco to Washington, D.C.
The former CEO is under investigation by DOJ
anxman··on In Pursuit of PPE
I wrote up instructions on how to buy KN95 Masks from China for $1.67 delivered. Please share it to anybody in need of KN95 masks. If you need samples of the masks, I can send them to you for free, just shoot me a message.

anxman··on Corona: Free Cross-Platform 2D Game Engine
I've been using avianflu engine and this looks like a really nice upgrade. I'm upgrading from version h1n1. Anything that I should know?
anxman··on Can you legally refuse to pay resort fees?
Imagine going to a restaurant that lists a dish for $9.99 but the check comes, and there's a mandatory unadvertised "table fee" of $3. It's baffling that our crony politicians think it's acceptable yet spend their time with sham political theatre instead. They should all be voted off the island.
anxman··on A dark web tycoon pleads guilty, but how was he caught?
This is not accurate. The NSA launders evidence that would otherwise violate the 4th amendment through its "special operations division" using "parallel construction".
anxman··on Ask HN: True Apartment Costs in SF?
2ndAddress could be a good way to get a feel for neighborhoods without having to make a big commitment.

anxman··on California car burglaries are at crisis levels
Except SF is soft on crime ... we have the lowest arrest and conviction rate in all of California.
anxman··on California car burglaries are at crisis levels
Technically, all of the customers like yourself are paying for it.
anxman··on California car burglaries are at crisis levels
The Safeway at 4th and King was basically a free market for crackheads. I lived nearby for five years and I would see shoplifting every time that I entered the store. I'm not even exaggerating.
anxman··on Andreessen Horowitz Returns Slip, According to Internal Data
Thanks for the clarification
anxman··on How bullying may shape adolescent brains
