shubidubi··on Show HN: MCP Generator for Your API
Does it work with Cursor?
shubidubi··on YC W21 Remote Batch
Not just people with children, people who don't want/cannot commute there in general. This is a more inclusive option.
shubidubi··on Data-Transfer-Project
If you want to transfer your FB photos and videos to Google photos without the extra work, just use this tool: https://www.facebook.com/dtp
shubidubi··on Show HN: Virus Cafe – Make a friend in 2 minutes
Or a great trolling moment
shubidubi··on Background Matting: The World is Your Green Screen
Is there an easy way to stream it to Zoom/Slack etc...? Will be nice to use it as a virtual camera source
shubidubi··on It’s Time to Build
The problem is not the builders. The problem is those who hold them back: government red tape, bureaucracy and investors who prefer to put their money on another cat app.
shubidubi··on 31% Can’t Pay the Rent: ‘It’s Only Going to Get Worse’
I don't get why it's not ok to steal food from a grocery store but it is ok to not pay rent. Both are basic necessities and in both cases you hurt someone else by not paying for service (food/shelter).
shubidubi··on An alternative to using Google Analytics on your website
I liked it when you announce it's open source till I checked your Github page:

> At the moment we don't provide support for easily self-hosting the code. Currently, the purpose of keeping the code open-source is to be transparent with the community about how we collect and process data.

So basically you ask people to work for free on something only you can use? No thank you.

shubidubi··on Funding for Covid-19 Projects
I would suggest stop funding cat apps, take all you current YC batch and let them focus on this
shubidubi··on Firecracker: Secure and fast microVMs for serverless computing
I'm happy to see AWS is giving back to the open source community.
shubidubi··on Ask HN: What’s the most important modern simple invention?
A/C Productivity, mortality and convince.
shubidubi··on Google Maps Hacks
it's not a bug, it's a feature.
shubidubi··on Amazon CodeGuru – Preview
Code review is not linter. Code review is a chance to discuss design, scaling, trade-offs and mentor others. I don't think this solution will offer it.
shubidubi··on YC Fall Hackathon 2019
I would love to attend as long as people start fresh projects at that day. Ideally people will find new partners and form new teams around shared idea. Otherwise it will become another YC pich night for mature(ish) products.
shubidubi··on A uBlock Origin update was rejected from the Chrome Web Store
Maps is the main app that I wish would open automatically. Each time someone shares a location with me or if I need to drive somewhere it's very lengthy to open the native app. Sometimes the address doesn't stick and I need to type it again.
shubidubi··on A uBlock Origin update was rejected from the Chrome Web Store
I'm using Firefox for a while now (both on desktop and mobile) and I love it. The only missing part for me on Android is that Firefox doesn't open native apps (YouTube, maps, Instagram etc..) when you open a link. The integration with built in apps like chrome has is not there.
shubidubi··on Show HN: HN Notify.xyz – Subscribe to Your HN Replies
nice! i had this idea in mind for a while but didn't see how to monetize it :) glad someone did it.

> We collect every new submission and comment from Hacker News, and once every 5 minutes or so (assuming I don't break something).

nit - you should decide if your tone is "we" or "I".

edit: another idea would be to add notifications for upvote/downvote you get. it's harder to implement so maybe just when your score changes...

edit2: why downvote? ️

shubidubi··on Y Combinator Top Companies List 2019
just look for "remote" on the page. the location for each company is in the last column.
shubidubi··on Y Combinator Top Companies List 2019
interesting fact - out of the top 100 companies, (only?) 4 are remote.
shubidubi··on How Firebase Interviewed Software Engineers
2 issues i have with this "process":

1 - take-home task of "only" 6 hours. that's on top of the onsite (~6 hours) and a few hours for phone call and followups. that's too much for an unpaid job.

2 - they try to find people they know to sniff around about the candidate. that's usually bad as you can jeopardize the candidate's current job (usually people interview while still working at another place). overall this post made me want to work at firebase even less now.

shubidubi··on Launch HN: Listle (YC S19) – Listen to the Best Articles on the Internet
I use pocket audio feature all the time and the robotic sound is far from good indeed. It's hard for me to see how you scale it to every article out there but I guess focusing on a niche is good to start. Good luck and really hope this will work out.
shubidubi··on Pocket Casts Is Now Free
It's NOT free. It now gives you annoying popups to upgrade to subscription paid version. Very shady marketing to call it free.
shubidubi··on Emergent Tool Use from Multi-Agent Interaction
Anything remote friendly? Unfortunately all jobs are in SF only.
shubidubi··on Sunsetting Hire
when was the last time Google had a successful consumer-facing product? looks like they just keep shutting down products in the past few years.
shubidubi··on Google Employee Writes Memo About ‘The Burden of Being Black at Google’

rich dad poor dad - changed how I think about money.

Really like it! Reminds me a bit of indiehackers.com
shubidubi··on Ask HN: Which abandoned proprietary software would you resurrect?
Blockchain (too early?)
shubidubi··on The latest on Messages, Allo, Duo and Hangouts
skype feels too slow for casual messaging. WhatsApp is the best solution right now - both messaging and video/calls.
shubidubi··on The latest on Messages, Allo, Duo and Hangouts
give another promotion to the person who will combine all of them.
