Thanks Peter! On 2) is this something you could help with through a consultation, if/when I decide to go try this route?
Thanks for doing this Peter. I have two questions, advice on either/both would be much appreciated! 1) Partner moved to the US in L1B status, after 2-3 years successfully adjusted to L1A status, based on having been…
The problem with the H1B is, of course, winning the lottery. The odds are poor and generally getting worse each year. The L1B may be the only realistic option
Could you elaborate on this a bit more? If your company sponsors you to come on an L1 visa, how can you simultaneously apply for an H1B? And in any case, how can you get the H1B at all without winning the lottery…
I don't know what the viewership numbers are, but as someone who watches a lot of LoL across all the major leagues (LCS in North America, LEC in Europe, LCK in Korea, LPL in China), I wouldn't be surprised if LCS…
To add to the other reply you got, their own sync (which they're testing right now) claims to end-to-end encrypted your data (and, if I recall correctly, filenames/paths too?)
Logseq's own sync is now in testing and you can access it if you're a sponsor ($15/month tier). I became one just to try it out. It works fine but has enough bugs that I wouldn't rely on it yet - but they are responsive…
As someone who grew up in East Africa and remembers the days when there wasn't a single submarine cable connecting my country to the rest of the world. I'm happy for West Africa but hope that the East gets some more…
Governments have a monopoly on (legal) violence, and by default it's not possible to move countries (that is, unless you get a visa or live in a free movement area). I think it's reasonable to hold governments to a…
I am a grad student in the US and know several international students who qualified for unsecured student credit cards less than a year after first entering the US, with just a part-time student job as income.
This was great. It recreated the ephemeral joy of jamming together with a group of people. Wish there was some kind of chat feature but I guess that would be tough to moderate
> just something like converting numbers to strings Isn't that the kind of thing that someone senior would typically look up? Do you think that whether or not they have that part of the language API stored in their…
Right, I agree completely. By 'output' I suppose I meant goods and services that provide utility to humans.
I am not making a point on whether workers work harder now than they did before. But at the same time, there are clearly ways in which we have had technological advancements that produce goods and services with less…
Do you mean, any instance of a technological advancement that has allowed the production of some good or service with less input than would have been required before the advancement? How about computers + the internet?…
As someone with a graduate degree in economics: often when people think about 'growth' in a negative light, they're imagining an ever increasing use of resources to produce more output. But the desirable type of growth…
Ooh, I didn't know this. I will go to the next discussion with my antitrust friends armed with my new info. Thanks for sharing this!
The textbook ‘How to prove it’ by Velleman is in my opinion the best introduction to learning to read and write proofs.
I have several friends who work in antitrust consulting. My understanding from listening to them talk is that monopolists are defined with respect to a market, and defining the relevant market is a task in itself.…
What do you think Musk is trying to do then? I'm crediting him with enough intelligence to know the points you're making.
Seems to this ex-economist like cost per use is trying to be a crude approximation of $/util
I am also a foreign born person of Indian descent and agree with the person you’re replying to. I have never been aware of my cast, the cast of other Indians / Indian origin people I interact with, and think that’s a…
