Do you think Apple’s data privacy policy is better than the rest of them out there? How safe do feel of potentially you/family being recorded daily with microphone around us? As long as the data is in good hands for marketing it is fine. If cyber security and attack are created by same minds, how cl...Read more
All 3 products need a server connection to function. They are basically spying on you 24/7. How are you not creeped out?

I have a quick question, recently I have received two offers from Amazon for SDE 1 position : Alexa privacy team and Amazon AWS Tier 1 team. Which is the best team to accept the offer considering work life balance?

I used to use Alexa. Switched to Google after joining G. Google is slow, not that helpful, and annoying when it comes to privacy. Why can't anyone add something to a shopping list without needing to be individually authorized. Same thing with turning on or off lights. Maybe I'm just not configur...Read more
I cleared my onsite for Amazon in Arlington a few weeks ago and I’m currently in the team matching process. I’ve talked to a few managers and have narrowed down to two teams. Alexa: news and privacy on the Alexa mobile app. Most of the development will be in react native. My experience is full stac...Read more
Google - invested heavily in G+ to catchup with fb and failed. AI efforts are progressive rather than game changing new area. Self driving car not here yet. Ad business cash cow.

Saw this on LinkedIn. Copypasta: -Telegram and Signal, privacy-first comms apps, are #1 and #2 on the app stores currently, knocking out WhatsApp. A global trend. -At one point today, Newsmax and OANN apps (“alternative” news networks) were outpacing CNN in the stores. -Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey fr...Read more
