This is a perfect example of unseen/unknown/inaccessible backdoors for most (non-)immigrants in the U.S. The (apparent) complete opacity of USCIS when it comes to delays like this can be devastating. I know several people who had

How is this the conclusion you're reaching first? Does the unbelievable invasion of privacy and infringement on freedom of speech not raise your ire first and foremost? Can you imagine being denied the right to travel or to temporarily

Slick promotional website but not a single privacy disclosure or terms of service for an app that gathers financial data? This is not something you push out after the MVP has shipped.

That makes sense. Sorry for the assumption. Guilds felt omitted in your post since they (should) address one of the points you make about the usability/ergonomics of existing Ruby APIs for managing non-sequential execution. But it’s de

That’s the plan with Guilds: http://www.atdot.net/~ko1/activities/2018_rubyconf2018.pdf These are the slides for Koichi Sasada’s RubyConf 2018 (last week) talk updating the community on his progress in the design

I'm curious if anybody here has quality data for USCIS' processing speed on H-1B and other work-based immigration visas. USCIS provides [aggregate statistics for previous years and quarters]( https://www.uscis.gov/t

Sorry for the late reply, but in a way yes. I'm sort of feeling that movement. The problem is that Brasseries are huge operations and even the terrible ones must be fairly profitable. Evolving them must be seen as even more risky but I

As a nearly lifelong Parisian, bistros are often seen by locals as overpriced (for the quality you get) low-effort joints where you regularly get frozen microwaved food (which led to a huge backlash in recent years) that tastes like shit, b

This makes me wonder how many thousands or hundreds of thousands of people are stuck in similar USCIS/USCBP purgatories regardless of the type of visa application they're waiting to receive a response about.

Couldn't agree more. It's been heartbreaking to see the spread of those rote changelog entries on iOS specifically. Although, meanwhile, large companies like Apple and Google have started including surprisingly high-level and comp

I want you to realize that you just said "the market can easily solve for it" followed by "done through taxes". Either the market (which has no tax-levying power) can solve it on its own, or it can't. What you'

Did you write more about this somewhere? I feel like an AMA would be very interesting to read. My mother’s side of the family comes from a very rural area where they farmed on a very small scale so I’ve always eyed the technological efficie

Hey folks, we (Code School) made this with GitHub in 2012. It keeps being plopped on HN year after year which is great but it would be nice if everybody realized that we did this as an introduction to Git — not as an end-all-be-all. We make
