There have been many threads about this but it is a real pain. I was only a day aways of being forced to leave the US. I got one of the last H1B visas in 2010 before the quota was reached and my F1 expired. Now, happily I got a green card b

Funny enough, the moment I stopped caring so much about time and optimizing it, the more productive I got. Before I found that no matter how much time I had, I was always scrambling. This may be a bit too philosophical, but focusing on mome

Thanks everyone for sharing the stories. I have been working on a startup for several months, pivoted and I'll release the new concept in the next weeks. I think the biggest hurdle of doing something alone is keeping yourself emotional

That sounds a bit extreme, I would eat a couple tablespoons of Coconut Oil every day. On another note, I wonder if the probiotic trend is going to pay off. We'll see in 20, 30 years I guess

It is definitely easy to get overwhelmed by so many choices. In the end Pareto still applies, 20% of fewer of technologies are being used in 80% or more of the projects. Right now, React, Angular and Ember are probably leading the pack.

Our brains are wired to believe a plausible story easier than the one told by the base rate or stats... We need to be aware of the gaps our brain fills by itself. Definitely not easy, though...

I agree with you but it's difficult to pinpoint what makes a high quality game right? Story may be in the right direction. Although probably, we could not even agree on what makes a good story ;) For me I crave games that make me feel

I think you touched a key characteristic for a good hire. When you can find someone that is humble, and of course talented, in my opinion the rest will follow. When you hire some senior people, you may run into issues because how successful

I agree. From my point of view, games as an art form is in its infancy period. It has so much potential because it is interactive and immersive (even more so now with VR), but games often get caught in a core game mechanic and rinse and rep

This article made me think a little bit about games. What are they? Art, waste of time, intellectual gummies for your brain? All of the above? However, I believe that there are forms of entertainment that can enrich your life and others tha

Yes. The filter bubble and information overload are two problems, somewhat related that many companies have tried to tackle. However, it is really difficult for a company like Flipboard to change user habits and compete with Facebook. Users

Same here. Spanish dev working from the US. Sad to see many people like us here. Most of my fellow graduate students are in the same boat, really few stayed in Spain. It is not competitive at all compared to the US of other european countri

I really like the write up & simplicity of the explanations. Obviously, choosing Vanguard Index funds and avoiding timing the market it is a great financial advice. One piece that I always find missing is that in my opinion, money is no

Couldn't agree more. It's like we are constantly driven by these little shocks that makes us forget the only reality, the present moment. As you say, taking the phone off and escaping from it allows us to become a bit more grounde

It seems to me that the internet is turning us a bit into bumper cars. Everything just happens. We get a new tweet, then we open the phone, we retweet. A minute later, another notification from whatsapp comes in... From notification, to rew

Great write up. You hear many times the advice of getting MVP out and then "just" listen to your customers and the data. A lot of times, as you said, there is virtually nobody that cares and few feedback. You are just treading thr

Yes, I am aware of it. Peter has already clarified the issue above. What matters is the intent. One friend of mine switched jobs less than a month after obtaining his GC and he didn't run into any issue whatsoever. "No, you are no

You are welcome. Try googling Self Petitioning H1Bs. I used http://myimmigrationattorney.com/h1b-visa-requirements/ in case it helps. I don't have citizenship yet, I have the GC right now. I needed to provide docu

To give other point of view. During my previous startup I was on an F-1 visa, then we got funding and I got an H1B from my startup. You can sponsor yourself through your own company, you just need to prove the relation and provide enough do

This was my case. 3 months after receiving the green card process I started my own company. As Peter has said, what matters is the intent.

Nice explanation. I agree with your point. It's not natural for most people to perform statistical judgements. It's not obvious that base rates matter even in the presence of evidence. It's true as well that we should not for

I completely agree. Knowing "what" to do is far more important than "how" to do it. Although obviously you want to get both right. But if you don't get the first one right, second one doesn't even matter. You c
