I would try myself at selling stuff perhaps start a business. You can just start selling water in front of a library. Learning to sell and fighting your fear of interactions will be an asset for the rest of your life.

kuro-kuris··on ASK: HN how to deliver machine learning results under startup pressure?
Paul, thanks for your great reply. I am going to bring up your suggestions and hopefully a larger focus on risks can help with our deliverables PERT charts seem a bit over bureaucratic for our team but considering our dependencies and the risks more seems great. Improving the connection between risks and features in the mind of the team will definitely help. I still feel really constrained and over-pressured in the current sprint structure, hopefully bringing the risks out will decrease my personal anxiety as well.

With regards to the work flow, we went down our personal email road initially. Though getting data seems extremely cumbersome from the main backend of our service. With regards to the interface between our ML component and the rest of the system currently we are using simple heuristics to fulfill the ML requirements so the flow of information is there in one direction but not in the other one.

kuro-kuris··on How Google is pushing you to vote for Bernie Sanders
The way they measure positive and negative politicians is flawed. Republican candidates seem more controversial due to a different political culture compared to Democrats (there is no one as divisive as Trump for example).
kuro-kuris··on PG: “Any industry that still has unions has potential energy”
Sometimes the political divide between Europe and the US becomes glaring on Hacker News. I feel this tweet is one of those moments. Our differences makes us more interesting but this tweet was a bit hard to digest.
kuro-kuris··on Dumb Cuneiform
I love the idea, I think it would be sweet if you get a dictionary with your cuneiform so you can actually decode it.
