I use :visible. The notes say it can increase speed 17x in certain cases.

Soon enough, I will know if it is a windy or sunny day by looking at the AWS EC2 spot price.

I am afraid it would cost $2M to try to pay back $1.7M... i think they should first spend their time and $$ in making sure they fix the issues going forward.

Yes, yes, and yes. In my case, i met someone with the idea i believed in. So talk to people, make it known you want to try something.

I had money in the bank to live 12 months without salary, because i always wanted to start my own business, and money helps.

When the opportunity arised, i was ready. It worked out, i got lucky. If it did not, my reasoning was that 12 months later, i would get a better job because of the experience and lessons learned.

Always wanted to be a business owner. Played with spreadsheets many times. Started a couple of ideas, never shared them with anyone, never launched. Started something with a friend, made $1,000, stopped there.

Took 10-15 years. Found the right business opportunity. The job itself did not look that interesting, but played on my strengths/skills, and looked like a serious business that could make money. Got it going. Liked being on my own. Liked growing the business, servicing my clients. Found the core part of the business annoying, the tech part interesting.

Still going at it, many years later. Very happy since, very happy now.

Don't abandon your direct efforts, let the wind blow where it may. Not incompatible.

You can laugh at everything but not with everyone. (Pierre Desproges)

Before you make an offensive joke, check who's around you.

People used to compete socially by having the biggest house, the biggest car.

Millenials do it with instagram pictures instead?

Fair to think it is wrong. But "hilariously"? When there are hundreds of thousands of jobs/livelihood that will disappear, with the sense of purpose they bring to people, i don't find it funny.

I now think the article has a point about arrogance.

SLC is 45 minutes away from some of the best ski resorts on the planet: Alta, Snowbird, Deer Valley, Park City... If you like skiing, it counts as outdoors!!

The argument was that in the US, they "only" collected metadata. No real phone calls. No big deal...

The power of their use of "only" metadata in Pakistan is frightening..

2008 is the keyword here. Lehman B going bankrupt. Fear.

Ditto. I cringed when i read this. It's like Boeing writing: "At Boeing we really care about building planes that can fly and be safe too." As a reader, I feel they think I am a little dumb.

From what i understand, to get on O visa, you are better off being one of the top 3 specialists worldwide in an obscure combination of OS language platform running on an old mainframe, instead of being in the top 1% of all Javascript/PHP developers.

A good immigration lawyer would help you figure your strategy here.

Be aware also that it does not not increase your probability to be a winner in the H1B lottery. You just know faster.

Economy is doing better than in 2013. So many more applicants. So lottery needed. In 2 days in April there are way more applicants than slots. If you apply 1 month later you're way behind, you're not even in the lottery.
