I would recommend that you look into jobs from the Big Three in China (Tencent, Alibaba, Baidu, in that particular order). All of them hire many people who do not hold a Chinese passport, so they have mature system in place to handle some o

Fantastic list! I would also add "yourself / your own saving" as a source of investment. Pros: - Non-dilutive - No loss of control - Quick to close the deal - Putting in one's own money sends a strong signal to your in

That's interesting to know. My guess is that, other than the management fee, there are two potential sources of money that can pay for those additional services: 1. A portion of the profit that a16z made from previous exits. 2. This is

I would recommend Shortcut Foo ( https://www.shortcutfoo.com/app ) to people who want to learn vim. It offers shortcut training (pun-intended) to many other editors (Sublime, Eclipse, etc.) and languages too.

Interesting idea! A few thoughts to share: I would love to see a few "pre-built" themes/templates to choose and draw inspirations from. I once saw a youtube clip of a Star Wars-themed wedding and thought "hey that is not
