smithmayowa··on The handshake emoji is more complicated than you might think
I'm not american, I'm African but I find the black toned emojis to be ideal for me, I wish all face emoji's were available in other skin tones.
smithmayowa··on Sick of these startup executives, painting a rosy picture for employees
So sick of this too, particularly the notion that you should be thankful and happy to work for a startup.

Do you believe strongly and are you passionate about what we are doing?

I'm like no dude I can code and want to get paid for it, do you ask if your plumber is very excited about fixing your toilet?

If everyone had this mindset, we will still be in the Stone Age, things can and should always be made better.

I bet JavaScript was thrown in the mix, can’t quite see how this was made without it, I just might be wrong though.
smithmayowa··on Y Combinator has lost its soul: A YC founder's perspective
Yc taking advantage of their b2b alumni network is common sense in my own opinion, they are playing to their strength in fact.

smithmayowa··on Ask HN: Which is the most successful one-person business you heard of in 2019?
I am the same here, I am so useless at sales that when I see the things some people manage to sell I get angry somewhat.
smithmayowa··on DeepMind's MuZero teaches itself how to win at Atari, chess, shogi, and Go
"They trained the system for five hypothetical steps and a million mini-batches (i.e., small batches of training data) of size 2,048 in board games and size 1,024 in Atari, which amounted to 800 simulations per move for each search in Go, chess, and shogi and 50 simulations for each search in Atari"

Because of this I am presuming.

smithmayowa··on What skills are most crucial for running small internet companies?
Hey man, would like to pick ur brain some regarding saas sales, sadly I am not based in the valley or US for that matter, mind if I email you, quick question what is the fastest no bullshit way to validating ur saas idea and seeing if people needed it, I was thinking of driving google ad words traffic to a landing page will that be sufficient?

smithmayowa··on Army photogrammetry technique makes 3D aerial maps in minutes
The us government particularly the Us military has been responsible for quite a significant amount of scientific breakthrough, either through their ability to coordinate human resources and material resources towards a particular end point or their large possession of the later.

Sadly or Happily capitalism in particular venture capital investments in startups has largely surpassed them regarding the material resources part of the equation in recent times but they still suck significantly at the human coordination aspect of things.

smithmayowa··on Ask HN: Start a new job tomorrow – what's important?
Try to get enough 1 on 1 video calls with the Senior developers on hand who understand the source code, ask them for it via direct chat on slack if such things are not offered as a necessary onboarding requirement.

Also try to understand every bit of the source code, and make sure to not rock the boat too much on ur first few days always write code that blend in really well with the other pre written codes. You can battle for code changes later on.
