anindha··on Forget Wall Street. M.B.A.s Want to Work for Amazon
SpaceX? Elon Musk studied Business and Physics at Wharton/Penn and recommends that any founder should have some MBA style business training.

Maybe they hadn’t worked in that area recently. If you work on a large software application your focus might be very narrow.

It’s like saying you don’t know what 13 times 14 is off the top of your head so you aren’t good at maths.

Opt-in for the customer not the business.

Can you explain this? If I apply for a lease how does the Fedral government know or block me?

If I need to authenticate through their system the Federal government will definitely know.

Make it opt-in. Anyone who isn’t comfortable with the change can continue to use their SSN.
anindha··on Matcha – A framework for building iOS and Android apps in Go
Why did you choose Go over Swift? What would be great is to mix native views dynamic views.
anindha··on Tesla Misses Model 3 Production Goals
As long as funding is guaranteed by law then it’s possible to be independent. BBC works like this.
anindha··on Tesla Misses Model 3 Production Goals
If you consider accurate journalism as a necessity of a well functioning economy and democracy then an argument can be made that it should be government funded and independent. Think BBC.

I don’t think the current model is working as well as it could.

anindha··on VCs are suing the US for delay of immigration program
Many students here receive financial aid - 69% of Stanford undergraduates [1].

A permanent resident is a green card holder not an American. It is difficult to obtain that status without a visa to begin with.

Having the board as your "manager" is sufficient.

I don't understand your point about Elon Musk and why he shouldn't be included in the the 51%?
anindha··on VCs are suing the US for delay of immigration program
Elon Musk was on a H1B when he started his first company.

Could you explain what you mean by the "economics" holding them back? Someone living here starts off in a much better position than any foreign entrepreneur. If they can't figure out how to get the attention of an investor then they probably wouldn't be a great entrepreneur.
anindha··on VCs are suing the US for delay of immigration program
VCs are free to invest in foreign based companies, so that would be the best arbitrage. Its in the interests of the US to maintain the strong network that already exists.

I am not sure how essential is this visa category, since there are other categories most founders would qualify under.

anindha··on Ask HN: What's an important problem that more people should work on?
Boom can fly you to the launch pad. Still lots of short flights and less popular routes that SpaceX could never service.
anindha··on Jacquard by Google transforms clothing
Haha

You could have said that about a device that knows exactly where you are every minute of the day - but here we are.

anindha··on Jacquard by Google transforms clothing
Interacting with your clothing is more convenient than interacting with a smart watch in many situations. If one day it costs $0.50 to add, why not add it to every jacket that is made?
anindha··on Jacquard by Google transforms clothing
The idea is that every piece of clothing one day will incorporate this.
anindha··on China Bans Bitcoin Executives from Leaving Country, Miners “Preparing for Worst”
As a business, yes. As an individual, yes if you are audited. Also those examples are relatively small amounts.

Buying BTC using INR is as hard as buying USD using INR since you need to show the paper trail.

You can however buy computers and power using INR quite easily. The government won't know what you are doing with your computers and power.

anindha··on Europilot: A toolkit for Euro Truck Simulator to develop self-driving algorithms
How realistic are traffic simulations in games compared to what you had worked on?
anindha··on Europilot: A toolkit for Euro Truck Simulator to develop self-driving algorithms
Thanks for pointing me to this. You request is well written. I imagine they would want to be paid to build that. Did you ever ask the team to give you a quote?

Say for example they open source a plugin that outputs everything you requested but didn't disclose any IP related to the game.

anindha··on Europilot: A toolkit for Euro Truck Simulator to develop self-driving algorithms
There is quite a lot of interest in a self driving car simulator. I wonder if we could use Kickstarter to raise some money to get the game maker to add simulated radar, lidar, and cameras. You should be able to customize the position of these sensors.

You could buy some additional licenses and donate them to someone.

Being water proof and having a cellular connection are great features. I like swimming and nothing else on the market does swim tracking as well.

I can go for a run, a swim, buy lunch, and take an Uber home all without my phone.

I bought the Series 1 and stopped using it because it drained the battery on my phone, especially if I was using something like Uber that needed to continuously communicate to the watch. Would love to read reviews on the battery life of the watch.

anindha··on No matter what, Equifax may tell you you’ve been impacted by the hack
Disagree. I think the examples in the grandparent comment are spot on.

You can be cynical of the government and the regulators and still do something about it. If you are a landlord and running a credit check don't use Equifax. Maybe this will open the door for startup in the space.

anindha··on Michelangelo: Uber’s Machine Learning Platform
Maybe they did use ML in your scenario just not the way you thought:

It takes 50 mins to get your delivery but to make you order they need to tell you its going to take 30 mins. ML also tells them that the 20 minute discrepancy won't stop you ordering next time.

Cycle continues.

anindha··on Fans Watch Taylor Swift. Economists Watch the Fans
How many people attended the concert? That sounds like it might have been a long line at will call.
