Game development is super fun. Especially if you make one for android or ios and let your friends play it on their phones. Feels very rewarding. It's also quite challenging to get the feel of a game right. So there is lot's to lea

What could be more ironic than your VPN spying on you? The very thing you use to avoid the watchful eye of elder siblings.

I have played both games and a fan of both. Starcraft is definitely more complex than AoE for AI development and that's why the researchers must have chosen it. The complexity of AI depends on how many potential decisions you can make

Yes, I noticed this as well and the one that is under the insurance allowance is comically ugly.

Have to share this related story. I recently got a new prescription and the glasses salesman at my optometrist said that my insurance is super generous and willing to pay upto $200 every year for new glasses, so I should definitely get a pa

A friend of mine is a UI designer and I really like how she gets interviewed. Her first interview during an onsite is to give a presentation about herself and her prior work. The audience are the 3-4 designers who will be interviewing her t

Simply amazing. We need more tools for artists to convert existing real world objects into digital versions. This tech is amazing because you don't need a set of cameras taking photos from all possible perspectives, instead it can just

Runaway thought: Could all taxes be removed and replaced with the government simply printing money for its initiatives? Income tax is such that the rich are supposed to pay more than the poor but that does not happen in practice. The rich h

I have to frequently work with Data Scientists to learn their ML models and scale them in our production environments. A lot of times the models are not even statistics, it's just linear algebra. They have a tendency to go for approxim

Haha. I agree with this sentiment. An additional problem is that the user may not always know which voice assistant(library) can fulfill their request. So now one request has to be forked by the user into multiple ones or chained together t

I think you misinterpreted my comment. I never suggested skipping the H1B. I was actually laying down the sequence of steps needed in this program. Join Program on H1B -> Wait till GC approval -> Then start working for your startup.

Yes, that's what I was aiming at. You can have a passive majority stake (you don't work for the company) or employment at the company with a minor stake. Note in the later scenario the majority stake must belong to an American cit

This point is glossed over in the article but H1B visa workers cannot start their own companies and employ themselves. The best case scenario for anyone on this program is spend 2-3 years in university while building a network. You can'

The millennial generation is also the first one in history to have mass exposure to the success of others due to social media websites. This could be a reason they want to seek better opportunities than the minimum wage jobs available to th

Do you think humans would stop at the first hurdle they encounter in their endeavours? How about the 99th hurdle? CRISPR is a naturally occurring gene editing tool. We have only recently started engineering solutions using it. Once this too

India did something similar a few months ago. Each country wants to build it's own GPS for military purposes. At some point we have to stop calling it 'Global' Positioning System.

I wish I was as skeptical about free products as I am about expensive products. Looks like Robinhood is just another tech company. Create a free product, store the data, wait for users to get locked in and later devise a scammy way to monet

There are also restaurants in the US where the tip is optional or mandatory depending on the party size. If you and 2 other friends go to a restaurant, tipping is optional and you can decide the percentage. If you and 5 other friends go to

Tipping makes it very difficult to stick to a budget. This was a big problem for me when I was a student. I wanted to limit every meal to $10. Since neither tips nor taxes are included in the prices at restaurants it became infeasible to ea

I can only think of product managers deserving such high salaries for customer facing products. They can act as translators between end users and engineers. Having worked on purely backend ML code, I find PMs to be mostly clueless about how

Most likely two outcomes. Either everyone will be given a basic income for meeting their needs or the robot revolution will make goods so cheap that very little money/effort will be needed purchase things. Most of the jobs may move to
