It works now. Haven't restarted browser/mac - so not sure what went wrong.

Anyways, Herdr looks powerful - will try it soon. One thing I find missing in every single one today, is that they do not allow using a different AI account based on the workspace/project you are on. It would come in handy in case of shared family machine.

Sign-in via Google is broken - it redirects back to localhost from Supabase :)

A few of them have jobs at other places. No idea of their salary. But, they didn't had any binding clause - you could attend the course to your best and could leave without any penalty. They didn't ask my wife to refund any expense when she dropped midway - nor did my wife pay anything.

PS: My wife joined their cohort an year back. Folks today may have different experiences.

I can vouch that this is not a scam. My wife enrolled with them and went through the first weeks of their program, though she couldn't complete due to some exigency. They were trained on how to vibe-code, and then asked to build complex apps using AI with all the costs borne by Gauntlet. Her friends did fly to Austin and went through the complete program.

I agree that runtime support will definitely help. However, a simple mitigation strategy is to override the `fetch` function and provide a central rate-limiting. This helps prevent such incidents even if this kind of bugs are shipped to production.

Food is not entirely local. CA gets majority of fruits from Mexico, Peru, Chile etc. Olive, Sunflower, and other oils are imported. Many spices are imported. Lumber tariffs will impact housing and repairs. Any thing with semi-conductors will be expensive: routers, modems, tablets, phones.

Middle class expenses may arise around 5-10% at the very least.

Links at the bottom of the site to X/LinkedIn/Contact Email/Github are all broken.

Agreed that it brings search dominance. But, it's like siblings helping each other out in life. A child excelled in a field where other failed. Now this child also helps promote his/her sibling's business.

Many Apple products only connect with other Apple products. Microsoft keeps poking/pushing to use Edge on Microsoft. Brave browser did eat into share and made a mark.

What is stopping from other kids in the field (FF, Edge, Opera etc) to be better, beat Chrome and also blocks ads?

Just thinking: So, Google makes life easier for users by creating Chrome and getting us respite from IE. When they moved the web really forward and way faster than others (Edge/Opera switched to Chromium too) - the DOJ wants them to give it away. It's like raising an exceptional child only to be asked to be adopted when they grow to be an adult.

And not everyone carries a smartphone to scan QR code - read, elementary kids coming over every evening to play :)

Thanks - this helps.

> employment agreement with the company

I believe this means that once the entity is founded and funding secured, all participants will need to transfer their H1B to this new entity in order to work for it, right?

Comment · 2 years ago
Is there a possible track for H1B holders (solo/team) to be able to start one? What I have usually been briefed is that you need a US citizen as a majority stake holder. Thanks.

Small nitpik: On empty text it still makes a request and changes to "Processing text"

I should have mentioned that I am talking about 8-9 year olds.
