Senior engineer, 13+ years. Startups, Amazon, Blue Origin, Anduril, defense and robotics autonomy.
I was the key engineer on Blue Origin's company-wide self-service HPC platform, used by programs including BE-4. Before that I spent five years at Amazon on the global Middle Mile platform. At Anduril I led a small team on Dive-XL mission-planning controls. Most recently I built bare-metal GPU CI for robotics autonomy, on hardware that cloud runners cannot touch.
I am seeking senior or staff IC and leadership work. Available now.
Rest of the world: most of us figured out how to use credit as a tool without tumbling into a spending pit. Takes a bit of discipline, sure but not impossible.
"I use debit because I can manage my finances" reads as "I don't trust myself with credit." If credit is a trap you have to avoid, that's not the flex you think it is.
It's a tool. Some people use it. Some people are scared of it.
> I'm in a hiring position, and I would blacklist any candidate that wasted my time like this.
> It's childish and just adds to the current state of Gen Z making it impossible to hire them (and then complaining they can never find a job).
This is an unacceptable interviewing posture. As a Bar Raiser (or whatever your equivalent is) with authority over interview standards and interviewer eligibility, I’d pull you from loops for retraining. Repeat it, and you’re removed from interviewing.
MiSTer has been a huge boon for me in terms of saving space and having access to old computers. I have it in an old pizza box case and connected to my old IBM CRT monitor.
I have a modern mouse and mechanical keyboard, but I tried to make everything as beige as possible...
> Show the fact that the EU made the decision to not have this feature instead of apple.
It is thanks to EU regulations, which are literal facts in front of us. That’s why the feature isn’t shipped in the EU, because of EU’s own choices. At this point it’s clear you’d rather ignore that, so no reason to keep engaging. One last time: this is on the EU, not Apple.
Which facts? Do you have some facts that explain why Apple did this move? Because all the facts I know of paint a picture of Apple throwing a massive tantrum at any kind of consumer protection rulings they might be subject to. They would ABSOLUTELY make their products worse in the EU to make uninformed voters and consumerist victims blame the very government agencies protecting them.
This feature happens on the phone, not the AirPods. There is no reason at all why this shouldn't be available in the EU, except the consumer friendly need to provide the API for the feature to other device manufacturers.
One last time: this is on the EU, not Apple. The feature works everywhere else. You’re mixing up feelings with facts, and it shows in this rant. Take a breather.
Like I agree it’s anti-competitive, but it’s not Apple that’s making it illegal in Europe.
It’s alike Chinese cars that are being made and used everywhere, but cannot be imported to US because of huge tariffs that was put by the government. So it’s the government that’s blocking the citizens from the access to the product.
Remote: Yes (Seattle onsite or hybrid also works)
Willing to relocate: Not at this time.
Technologies: Python, Java, TypeScript, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, Linux, distributed systems, HPC, GPU compute
