Something can be harmless or even beneficial at one dose, and fatal at another dose. People have died from drinking too much water. Or breathing too much oxygen.

The L-1 visa is portable to a green card though.

It’s explicitly a dual-intent visa, which means that it can be turned into a permanent resident visa, just like H1B. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_intent I’m the person in the tweet, and now a permanent resident

Bezos absolutely knows about the standard non-compete clause in everyone’s contract. They sued many people over it.

I’m very happy with Gumroad. I can’t think of an easier way to host and sell self-published material.

Yes, I attribute practically all my sales to having an audience. I doubt I would have sold any if I didn't have any followers. That said, I only had 10K followers when I announced my first product, and 24K for the second. But I've

Not a lot, but I didn't track the hours. The only promotion I did for my second product was sending 5 tweets and 2 emails, so maybe a couple of hours towards promotion. That made $85K in sales: https://twitter.com/dvass

Self-publishing is a very underrated way of exchanging knowledge for money with high ROI. I'm approaching $200K in 6 months from 2 self-published info products: one is a short ebook on AWS (160 hours to produce), and the other is a vid

S3 is also immediately consistent unless you’re updating an existing object or listing objects. I was one of the top users by volume of both products when I worked at AWS.

No, I meant a DBMS. Almost all the things you'd expect in a DBMS are not there. Take a look at most of the comments in this thread. Everyone expecting DBMS things, and complaining that they're not there.

S3 and DDB are incredibly similar. Their fundamental operators are the same: key-value get/put and ordered list, and their consistency is roughly the same. What differentiates DDB and S3 the most is cost and performance. They're b

If you treat DynamoDB as a DBMS, you’re going to be disappointed (for the reasons you mention). But if you think of it as a highly-durable immediately-consistent btree in the cloud, it’s amazing. DynamoDB is closer to Redis than MySQL. Amaz

I came to a simple realization: Only intrinsic motivation lasts. Achieving external rewards and arbitrary goals feels nice for a while, but it always wears off quickly. Now I don’t have goals anymore. My idea of personal growth is to keep r

I think almost everyone can get 1,000 real followers in a month, if you put some effort. If you did something interesting in real-life, and you intend to keep doing it, just share your story where people interested in that topic already han
