1) Thanks again for doing these threads, so helpful in a sea of so much uncertainty.

2) I’m currently on a O1 (that you actually helped get), do you know if in post-Trump era re-petitioning to change employers (or extending at the same employer) has got much stricter?

3) As I understand it, O1 can’t lead tho a green card, if I’m interested in that is there anything else I can do currently?

Thanks again so much!

benhalllondon··on Gary McKinnon extradition ruling due today
This story just has so much PR spin around it:

"could face 60 years in jail if convicted in the US" (nah) "Asperger's Syndrome" (this came out a long time after the initial charges) "evidence of UFOs" (he's kooky, not malice!) Quotes from his mum, she wrote to The Guardian (adds to the slightly confused school child vibe)

benhalllondon··on The iPad 1
How did you get this? It's not even on http://www.marco.org/ ?
benhalllondon··on Let’s Try to Think This iPad Mini Thing All the Way Through
A finger is an essentially fat stylus, the raw space that your finger hits on the screen is always (say) .5cm x .5cm or so.

It doesn't matter what the resolution screen your finger touches that size is always the same. So Apple defined that no touch interaction should be less than 44x44 points. And then points map to pixels in different ratios depending on dpi etc.

Jobs was saying that on a smaller screen you either have a smaller number of touchable areas or you get small fingers and reduce the 44x44 points number.

benhalllondon··on Petition to stop extradition of UK hacker
Just one fact/opinion to add that is always missed out on the petitions etc:

"The case was brought by the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, which claims that the TVShack.net website earned more than $230,000 (£147,000) in advertising revenue before US authorities obtained a warrant and seized the domain name in June 2010."

The guy was earning heaps of money.

benhalllondon··on EBay acquires Hunch for $80m
Anyone have any suggestions about how Hunch would scale to eBay levels?

Seems Hunch has gone the 'Mega Machine' route (1 T RAM, 48 Core [1]), from 700k users (80m Total TTHY / 113THAYs [1]), make 250k API users

How do you scale that out to eBay numbers?

I think a better analogy would be one where everyone was standing in the doorway and not letting anyone else use the store.
