Nice website jmstfv. I have a question about how customers trust your monitoring saas. Say I have a website/service, my deployment config would probably be similar to what you have. If AWS goes down, both mine and your monitoring saas will go down. Can you please share some details about your architecture that makes it more reliable? I am curious about what sort of customers are you targeting.

What are things I could do to improve my resume for EB1 category Greencard in the next year or so? I am currently on H1B working as a SWE at a top Silicon valley company (think Google/FB). I have a Master's degree in CS from a top US university and have a couple of years work experience. According to the company attorney, I qualify only for the EB2 category. Unfortunately, the EB2 queue is extremely long since I am from India. I am asking this since you mentioned in your past AMAs that it is possible for strong EB2 candidates to move to EB1.

As long as the candidates have a valid work status, isn't it illegal to discriminate based on type of work status?

Apologies for taking it offtopic, but can't you just move internally?

Thank you for the reply. The employer sent me an FAQ that says to be on the safe side, just list the item on the form and I can work with their legal team after joining, in case I need more clarification.

I built a voice-activated light switch using Pi. Demo and schematics here: http://arunpn.com/projects/voice-activated-light-switch/ After that project, I have slowly added more functionality to it like controlling music, alarms, etc.

Most of my projects fit in my laptop hardisk. I have a dropbox subscription which syncs everything interesting in my laptop to dropbox servers. This setup has saved my work once when my old laptop died - I just bought a new laptop and synced everything from dropbox.

Anecdotal evidence: I know some new grads who took this test when Amazon rolled out this automated form of hiring 2 years back. There were several crazy things with this process.. the questions in the test were changed only once a week and they did actually make offers to new grads after just the 3 hour online test. In dorm rooms where a bunch of students are applying for jobs at the same time, news travels fast. In short, there are a whole bunch of people working at Amazon who got their jobs by just typing out answers to questions they memorized.

You are wrong. I am depressed and this made me feel better. You are painting depressed people with too broad of a brush.

I built a voice-activated switch to toggle the lights in my bedroom: http://arunpn.com/projects/voice-activated-light-switch/. More than the project itself, I am happy that I got into the habit of working on side-projects regularly. Now I have a couple of projects going on to keep me entertained.

For $1000 you can get a new Thinkpad X1 Carbon(Gen3). Lighter than a Macbook Air but specs comparable to a Macbook Pro. I got one recently and have dual booted Linux and Windows 10 on it.
