axit··on Ask HN: Which startups have the most interesting pivot stories?

axit··on BART’s excursion fare: Agency earns millions from passengers not riding trains
Usually works but sometimes there's no one at the kiosk.

> I suspect the excursion fare today is trying to disincentivize the use of the trains and stations as shelters by the unhoused.

Time limits around entry exit could be useful here, where you can exit within 10 minutes of entry there is no charge. Reason for exiting at the same station for me is the train is delayed by 30 minutes and I forgot to check the next train before entering the station.

axit··on Tell HN: Udacity is deprioritizing its app and will eventually remove it
I did use the mobile app to watch lecture videos on the go. Would it be possible to put the videos in a course-wise playlist on Youtube for easy viewing?
axit··on Ask HN: Is there a better period of the year to apply for a H1B position?
Yes, if you need a new H1B visa (not a transfer), best to have an offer before April with enough time for the lawyers to apply for your visa. After that companies will have to wait until next year October for you to start with them in US.

Some companies like Google and Facebook might send you to a non US location until you get an H1B.
