Hi Peter,

Thanks for taking questions. I'm currently on F1 OPT and just lost the H1B lottery. Was wondering if it's legal for me to apply directly for a GC instead. If yes, are there potential risks during the process and in the future. Thanks

Ke Jie won 8 out of 10 when went against Lee though. Lee is probably not the strongest in the world right now.

can you elaborate? what were the things that you really like that they took out? What have they added that you dislike?

I think a more interesting problem is not how you can differentiate a spambot with a 'non-spam' bot. I've seen some bots that are really creative and fun on Twitter. I guess it's not really hard to add it to a spam detection ML model

> There is no barrier to entry into this space---any competent web developer could make a non-scaling Twitter in an afternoon---except network effects

As a backend engineer, I feel offended by this statement of yours.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean there couldn't be more.

And what is the worst thing that could happen?

I wouldn't say gmail, maps, chrome, docs, calendar indicate 'their utter inability to effectively spinoff new products.' Also, buying a product doesn't mean you're done with it. I personally think what the folks at Android, Youtube and Nest etc have been doing is incredible.

when you're recording something the light is turned on and it's very noticeable.

I don't think interview must entirely be related to the practical world. I mean having a very hard and interesting practical problem is the best of both world but not necessarily the only way to go. If you want to know if the candidate can really build things you can check out his github/resume. I think the 45-min interview is just to determine how smart the candidate is. If you want to determine if someone is smart you put them in a very hard situation (not necessarily a practical one) and see how they reason about it.
