praneshp··on No End in Sight for Crypto Sell-Off as Bitcoin Breaches $4,250
Nice snark.

In reality, a driver license is enough.

praneshp··on NY state tax break is $48k per Amazon HQ job
Well, each NYC resident pays 48000 one time to get back 30000 per year for 10 years is not something that HN would upvote into the front page.
praneshp··on A note to our employees
If you're referring to `adamrezich`, then I can second that I had the same question. I'm probably daft, but not intentionally so.
praneshp··on China Telecom's Internet Traffic Misdirection
Can I ask what browsers? If you've disabled Javascript, I'd argue that's the anachronism.
praneshp··on Ask HN: Where to go for the cheapest EE degree in the U.S.? In the World?
Sorry, I don't remember anymore. It was a scholarship called WISE, but I'm unsure what type of work permit I got, etc. If I can hunt down my old passport I'll check
praneshp··on Ask HN: Where to go for the cheapest EE degree in the U.S.? In the World?
Yep, iirc I was not officially "registered" with the uni, but they still opened up free basic german classes if I was interested.
praneshp··on Ask HN: Where to go for the cheapest EE degree in the U.S.? In the World?
I spent a few months in Darmstadt. Agree about all the positives you mentioned. One negative I want to add is that relatively few people speak English.
praneshp··on Uber Proposals Value It at $120B in Possible 2019 IPO
Because aetherson's definition of sanity is 20B. If the stock is 60b after 6 months, then crow eating is not totally unfair.
praneshp··on Survey of YC female founders on sexual harassment, coercion by angels and VCs
> The only people

There is at least one exception in me.

The way I see it, your metrics and your parent's metrics for diversity are different. I guess your point is that the 70% white investors think as a block and can be generalized?
praneshp··on Twilio to Acquire Sendgrid
I have an anecdote, email me if you care! Your profile doesn't have one.
praneshp··on Air India Express 737 Hits ILS, Damages Wall on Departure, Flies for 4 Hours
Right, there have been no incidents in privately run airlines over the past few years.
praneshp··on After Journalist’s Alleged Murder, Tech Execs Distance Themselves from Saudis
I don't get the joke, are you hinting at Yanni? I went to his concert a couple of months ago and he was doing a lot advertising for Saudi
praneshp··on InVision has no physical headquarters and all 700 employees work remotely
I agree with your advice (no need to look down, etc). OP however came off as condescending (at least to me) when he said stuff like "breathe fresh air", "stuck in subway for 2 hours", etc in responses, making everything a zero sum game.

The way I see it, he moved to wherever because his girlfriend forced him to, and then lucked into find a good job that they enjoy.

praneshp··on Amazon staff said to be taking bribes to leak data
Immoral is fine, I'm not too surprised. People who do immoral things are immoral, and the company not treating you well is just an excuse.

I'm surprised one would do illegal things though, especially knowing it's illegal.

praneshp··on Amazon staff said to be taking bribes to leak data
Does a typical contract say you can leak data if your company doesn't treat you well?
praneshp··on DHS Press Secretary on Recent Media Reports of Potential Supply Chain Compromise
Qualcomm is also American
praneshp··on Honda-Waymo Talks Are Said to Have Faltered on Tech Access
XXX is not very good at business, except <several billion dollar product> and <several billion dollar product>.
praneshp··on News Site to Investigate Big Tech, Helped by Craigslist Founder
> I'm the founder and CEO actually)

Yes, you have stated that quite often on a bunch of threads.

> has zero to do with this topic

You are incorrect.

> Are you suggesting that you would add another downvote simply because it is an ICO?

Nope

praneshp··on SiriusXM buys Pandora for $3.5 billion
> Sirius and Onstar are two of the worst things about my car purchase

I'd say your car purchase was an awesome experience.

praneshp··on News Site to Investigate Big Tech, Helped by Craigslist Founder
I downvoted you (before the flag) because you were snarky. I wish I could do so again for you not disclosing your newsblocks affiliation.
praneshp··on Ask HN: How much did you, as an employee, make when your startup exited?
The question probably means money made as a result of the exit, likely due to options/RSUs. I'd think that 401k/IRA comes from salary.
praneshp··on In killing Inbox, Google takes another swipe at its most passionate users
Did you consider Google cloud, and reject it because you don;t trust Google? that's different from not considering gcp at all :)
praneshp··on Google’s first all-hands after 2016 election [video]
>> she blabbed and it may be the end of her career

This is a terrible overstatement. It's not even the first time she has fought against an ump, and not even the worst she has said. End of career lol.

praneshp··on Google is discontinuing Inbox
Could you disclose your affiliation in such threads, please?

(Unless you have moved, in which case I'm sorry)

They are meeting what you'll get for $119.
praneshp··on Bay Area city blocks 5G deployments over cancer concerns
Not sure if relevant, but my workplace put that notice all over the building last week. Not sure if a law changed.
praneshp··on How WhatsApp Destroyed a Village
Buzzfeed news is excellent. If you aren't aware of some of them, it's your loss, IMO.

(It's different from buzzfeed.com)

praneshp··on Sheryl Sandberg Misled Congress About Facebook’s Conscience
Fall over yourself all you want to defend free speech, much respect to you. My parent debunked the specific lie that UK police stretched a law to fine a man for uploading a gif of his dog, and that is what I was applauding. Predictably, the replies ignore the lies and rant about free speech.
praneshp··on Sheryl Sandberg Misled Congress About Facebook’s Conscience
I don't think I (or my parent comment) were trying to defend free speech. For context, I'm not American, and I'm a supporter of UK-style online hate speech crackdown laws.

I commended them for pointing out the lie behind "guy got sued for posting a dog gif", and adding context behind it. The discussion was not "posting nazi videos is hateful, but allowed because free speech"
