They're immensely valuable and I feel Apple is absolutely dumb for having equivalents baked in already. If they did, I'd happily switch over.
impish19 | 2 years ago | on: Ask HN: What is your proudest little invention or discovery?
A few years later when I was in high school, everyone used to have the state-of-the-art 0.3MP-1.3MP cameras on their Moto L7 and Nokia 6600. My high school would frequently stick various notices like people's test scores, examination schedules etc. on the walls and those walls would get swarmed and you'd have to stand for minutes in the swarm getting pushed while you found your name on the many sheets of paper that were stuck, or while you copied the exam schedule etc. I'd get to the front of the swarm and channel all my energy into holding my phone steady pointed at the wall and click a picture and later zoom into it to get the information I needed from the comfort of the librar. I'd hear a chorus of 'aaahs' each time I did this when everyone would realize they could do the same.
Realization that you can click pictures of documents these days of course is almost common sense :)

I feel like if 10% (or x% where x is subjective) of your users are asking for a feature that shouldn't be too intensive for you to build, (or are facing a problem persistently), then how dare you not build it (or address the problem). And if that's the case, there should be opportunity for someone else to see the problem and come solve it either with an alternate product, or a 3rd party solution.

When you report a tweet today, twitter only allows to report for these categories: https://imgur.com/a/uoS3dZe
I'm not sure what category would apply to 'manipulated accounts' and how you would establish that. Objectively false information could probably be reported as 'misleading' I suppose? I'd be open to facilitating that if there's significant interest - might need to add a new button for that category.
impish19 | 4 years ago | on: Ask HN: What is your “I don't care if this succeeds” project?
Maybe just straight up opening the gates is the way to go forward - I'm considering that.
impish19 | 4 years ago | on: Ask HN: What is your “I don't care if this succeeds” project?
It's 2022 and there should be a place on the internet where you can voice opinions/feedback towards your favorite products, and feel heard.

AFAIK since I already had an H1B I won't have to go through the lottery again.
In a heated hiring market I think making such an offer could be what gives small startups/employers an edge to be able to attract FANG-experienced engineers.

impish19 | 4 years ago | on: Ask HN: Who wants to collaborate?
It's 2022 and yet if you ever think of a feature for an app or a product you use, there's no good place to voice it and feel heard. I want to change that.
Looking to collaborate with fellow engineers and people with a strong product/growth sense.
impish19 | 4 years ago | on: Ask HN: Does any company hire engineers on part-time H1Bs?
> It seems counterproductive for anyone to look for a part time dev when there plenty willing to work full time for the same H1B opportunity.
If you're a small company, you're going to have a lot of difficulty hiring a senior engineer who's had experience building highly scalable systems or systems with similar unique characteristics. Being open to a part-time position could give you leverage & result in a win-win situation.

- You can go to a friend's apartment with a Chromecast and just start playing games YOU own like CyberPunk & Assasins Creed within seconds on their TV (assuming they have a controller or you brought your own)
- You can go to Stadia.com on Chrome and just start playing these games from the browser using the Keyboard/Mouse
- The other day I was parked at a Target and I was able to play Cyberpunk on my phone using my phone's internet connection
- You don't have to keep worrying about constantly updating hardware, downloading game patches, deleting stored games etc.
- Time to load the game between saved checkpoints and missions is also much faster since the games run on a superior hardware.
impish19 | 8 years ago | on: DHS proposes to repeal Work Authorization to Spouses(H4) of H1B visa holders
a) As pointed out by the comment earlier, H1B holders can have dual intent: https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/USCIS/About%20Us/E...
b) Structuring of EB2/3 queues according to the birthplace of the applicant itself is more abusive than most things to do with immigration to the US.
