I find it hard to understand how we can be justified spending so much money and effort trying to find the wreck. What is there to gain? The only benefits I see are: - Giving family members (maybe a few thousand people) closure. - Understand

Laws need to evolve with society. Often, that means that they are challenged due to a edge case in a changing society.

I think it's regressive because people with less income spend a larger proportion of their income on gas. I disagree with him; for the record. Just trying to see his viewpoint. Personally—I think this tax is a great idea. I think the g

Color was an "elastic" social photo network based on shared locations. Elastic meaning that instead of having binary "friends" and "non-friends," your friendship with people is was a algorithmic strength value

Well, to be fair, Color did not make anyone any money. The company sold in a fire-sale for less than the amount raised; and the only thing that founders / employees likely got out of it was a mediocre retention bonus. Not to mention, t

They can still become an absolutely massive business even with slim margins if the market is big enough. Look at Walmart.

I highly recommend that anyone who has yet been able to make it to the Tsukiji fish market does so before its demise later this year. It's a truly incredible place, and the Sushi holes there are the most incredible fish you'll eat

For what it's worth; really cool product! I wonder if you could get hooked up with some language schools or teachers so that they'd use it for homework assignments.

Is the "donor-advised fund" mentioned here similar to a "charitable remainder trust?" If so, this may just be a very astute tax planning strategy.

I think that PG's point is that without economic inequality there is zero opportunity. So, I'd say that unequal opportunity is better than nonexistent opportunity. (This is an over-simplification.)

I think the original essay has all the evidence you might want. The point of this version was to not elaborate to make sure his point was crystal-clear.

Actually, his example works either way. Imagine this: - $110k + 5k options, with 5M shares outstanding, at a strike price of $1 / share. - $100k + 3k options, with 1M shares outstanding, at a strike price of $0.01 / share Both are

This could have wide implications for the startup community. A lot of people think that the current really high late-stage startup valuations, and the money pouring into the seed stage is an effect of the low interest rates. With no way to

I feel somewhat terrible for thinking this… but, to me this story seems like a sad example of why responsible financial planning is important. It seems like they had plenty of opportunity to build equity into their house over time. Taking o

That's incorrect. You only need 3 for the EB-1. See: http://www.uscis.gov/working-united-states/permanent-workers... > * Criteria for Demonstrating Extraordinary Ability You must meet 3 out of the 10 listed cri

The EB-1 is a the immigration petition that gets you the green card. Getting approved for the EB-1 is how you get that green card. The green card is a two-step process: first, you apply for an I-140; this is the EB-1. Second, if approved, y

I've never done an extension, just a transfer. It was pretty routine; you just file the application again just like the first time. Not much of a difference; other than the previous approval making your chances of getting approved once

You can get around it by showing a significant amount of professional experience. But it's not easy. (You still have to go through "labor certification")

H1B, L1, O1, etc. are all non-immigrant visa. You must be able to show non-immigration intent. (Except for O-1 which allows dual-intent.) Edit: I may be wrong about this. IANAL.

EB-1 is basically a green card version of the O-1 (i.e. an immigrant visa, not tied to your ongoing employment). Once you have an EB-1 you can freely change jobs, start companies, do consulting part time, etc. The requirements are essential

I would love an answer to this question! In this current election, it's unclear what candidates' positions are towards tech sector immigration.

I'm not proberts, or an attorney, but, as an O-1 recipient: The requirement is being at the "top of one's field" and proved through publications etc. I'd say you have a better shot as a big fish in a small pond (exp

3-time O-1 recipient here. Denied for EB-1 once + on appeal. The O-1, I feel, is pretty dependent on our personal situation, and which side of the bed the reviewer woke up on when they look at your application. But, it can be done. Good luc

Picking winners is easy: oftentimes they're obvious. e.g. Uber, Slack. VCs have a much harder job: picking undervalued and not-yet-obvious winners. They need to find the winner first, before everyone else also realizes it's a winn
