Relaxing doesn't have to mean give everyone a green card. It could mean, I think that's what Tom means, that don't tie it to a set of investors rather tie it to the performance of an individual. Create 10 jobs, make 1MM revenue, get them ve

It's true current H1-B is broken or favors the employer. I think a fairly easy fix to that is to not bind H1-B to an employer and let the employee move around within the scope of the visa. This can alleviate some employers who take advantag

Why couldn't your friend apply in EB-1 or EB-2?

Let's not forget that in some states full-service is required and customer is usually not the one swiping the card. So, the gas station attendant can be an accomplish on this whole scheme.

I meant the latches to close built-in iSight. Come on now, how can HN have such a clueless member to think that the lid opens itself up:-)

I loved the mechanical latches old Macbook Pro's had for this reason. Creepy story and great reporting!

Wouldn't it make sense to let Wordpress host your blog? Lately there seems to be one too many security updates for Wordpress. Why let the customer distract themselves with Wordpress upgrades etc. Was the cost-benefit of this looked into dur

I came from C to C++ about 5 years ago. I didn't really use any books for the first few months. I have only used http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/ a lot during this period. Soon I realized C++ is full of idioms that you need to be aw

Don't go into Google to learn to code. Go into Google to learn to lead. That's what you will need the most as a founder.

I thought recursive resolvers are geographically local enough for caching web services. I checked mine and it seems to be 4 hops away, 2 beyond our network perimeter. \24 is very intrusive and what about those who are behind ISP NATs. \24 m

Not sure what you're saying about Apple's presentation. There seems to be enough horizontal, straight-facing images on their iPad pages. http://www.apple.com/ipad/features/

I am talking about 19% of Chinese who have Internet access (from a total of 200 million people) and you're talking about 17% of population. Here is some actual numbers/data. http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/01/23/comscore-internet-popul...

Google is doing something good. This could be a catalyst for something bigger & better. But, kudos to you for putting things in perspective. Baidu is where 77% of Chinese get their search done. Google is at 19% there. Edit: @maxklein re

I only see pricing pressure on Dropbox at the moment. This is an opportunity for someone else to replicate Dropbox with Google Docs backend. I presume, such a replication will start off with a platform with additional functionality (like, G

In my experience sharing helps me understand whether I am going in the right direction and avoid tunnel vision.

Though the two points are reasons for someone to not share, the other reason could very well be that a person is an introvert by nature. Another article linked by Rajesh (Marshall Goldsmith on Empowering Others) raises another possible reas

"Yes, this is correct the phone is not offered to you because New York is not ready for the iPhone." I would like to rewrite that part of the phone script to read, ATT is not ready for iPhone. :)

There should be a way to merge "duplicates" posts by people with karma above certain threshold. For example, this could have been merged with Chris Dixson's post from this morning.

Agreed. After reading the comments at cdixson.org by the author and reading openness article at Google, it seems like author is simply saying: "I agree they won't open it. But then they should stop talking sactimoniously about openness." wh

I know of two enterprises (about 3000 to 3500) one and the other about 5000 hosts that still use IE6. The devs recently started using Firefox 3.0 (or something like that). Guess what their JRE/JVM version is? :-) Edit: A quick way to verify
