“The only thing you need to do is fix immigration for founders and engineers. This will likely have far more of an impact than all of the government innovation programs put together.” - this is so darn true it's not even funny.
Conversely, and I know this is pretty out there, this is what I think will be the killer app of virtual reality. If I can ship a $5K "pod" to a developer somewhere in the world which allows us to work together 90% as well as we can in person, then you're damn right I'm going to do that.
I believe VR tech will get good enough (3-5 years) before immigration issues will be sorted out (10-20).

- bsder 13y agoImmigration issues are easy to sort out. H1-B's automatically convert to Green Cards after 12 months if the person is still employed at the company. Company is responsible for the expense of the security check. It solves both the H1-B limit and the engineering shortage in one fell swoop. However, NO company lobbies for this because they like their 5+year indentured H1-B servants.
