What would you say to a CS student in Africa or South America ? You won a huge lottery being born in the US and going to a US school. Imagine them trying to break into Silicon Valley. We should strive towards a more equitable society but we can't let our day to day being defined by it. My comments stand regardless of my major, school etc. You're at Amazon and probably earning more than most people here. So you either did it due to your school or despite your school. Both scenarios seem favorable for your future.
You said multiple times "others are perceived better". Don't go into semantics now. Admit it, you have. Brand NCSU < Brand Harvard, no matter how much you cry on HN.
It's because Whatsapp backs up to Google Drive and iCloud respectively. I have no idea why the backup format can't be agnostic of what it's backed up on. That would make the syncing logic agnostic as well.
I wish there was a forum to chat about this with other people. I feel like few with empathize with these feelings most would just laugh at me. Many do.
I am constantly worried about scratching even the minutest of my possessions. No matter how old they are. Obsessed with furniture being exactly at the right angle and position. I don't know if this is just attention to detail that has spilled over from my job or some form of OCD
Your second point is moot. Even in a multi threaded single machine program you can load state and have it changed by another thread. That's bad design and not a distributed system characteristic.
LOL I like how you tried to mislead everyone by just putting Prost's stats alone. Then you argue it wasn't constantly. If your driver was better head to head you wouldn't have to do that. Long live Senna and his flame to win.
