2 years back We used to get a cabin office @Qualcomm for all Engineers same as VPs. Now Staff Engineers and above still get cabin office and others have moved to cubicles. We have a lab where most of us sit in the afternoon to collaborate. I must say this is the only place where I saw in my career where a fresh grad got cabin offices. It feels great to code in isolation uninterrupted. It also feels great to collaborate in lab with other folks and also code there.

This is a sad irony as to why some founders in exuberant start-ups are not mindful of their statements and actions that could hurt their company's growth as well as hurt sentiments of a lot of people.

Uber's Kalanich and now Snapchat's Evan.

Anyone still have yahoo mail or yahoo linked play accounts? Be extremely careful. I don't even know if any of the the Yahoo products are secure anymore

"Living minimalistic" - life connects you more to the present. In the end, this is what matters most. But having memories makes us more empathetic by virtue of emotions. If you know yourself and connect with humanity no matter what, then living minimalistic could be great! Otherwise not!

hack_mmmm | 10 years ago | on: Hearts on Twitter

Companies like Twitter, Facebook have rolled out (Like/Hearts/emotions) button to posts. I think "heart" button is not appropriate categorization for real time contents. Sometimes we just want to express on things if they are relevant. The emotion part "Like, heart, dislike, chill, etc" is just an aftermath to the real intent.

Problem: "heart" can not express emotion that community wants to just share, it may not necessarily be likable. Example, Tweet about violence in Middle east. I want to just not give it a "heart" but some other emotion like "disgrace, shame" etc.

Idea: To solve this problem, I would say the real symbol should be "Star", instead of "heart, like" etc. "Star" means you want to buzz in with this article but not classify your emotion. What do you think?
