H1 does not lead to a green card. Infact H1 approval receipt will show Temporary Non Immigrant Worker visa. You have to apply to get a green card, entirely separate.

Reading his book helped me overcome one of the darkest period in my life. Just a few paragraphs in a random book that I picked up. My heart lifted just a little bit, enough for me to carry on living. Peace to you my friend.

Regarding India, I am not exactly sure if any credits are in order. Oh they tried, they tried hard. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Hindi_agitations_of_Tam...

Yes, In order to invoke federal jurisdiction the SEC uses the fact that they communicated beyond state lines over the wire. This is why all the charges are called wire fraud. Relevant: https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/commerce_clause

Copilot is open to public. No waiting list. (AFAIK)

It wasn't the AI that did the Auto-filling this past day, it a large mass of humanity that auto-filled an incident report into a plausible outline of a story. I think this will happen more and more once AI reaches a point of higher cognition.

For an anti-mimetic article it could have used something other than a reverse sorted listicle format.

I will just add one point regarding health and sedentarism. Going completely remote saved about 2 hours a day from commute. This is big. This is not just 2 hours, but at the end of those 2 hours you won't be in a mood to do pretty much anything. I ended up working out for 30 mins and going on a long 90 min walk everyday. People tend to think 2 hours of physical activity is a lot and 'too much', but given how sitting oriented our jobs are - I don't believe this is the case. I don't even walk to get a lunch, once you wear a fitbit or some such device this becomes so clear how much of a sitting oriented life we have acquired. Also when I was monitoring weight, bp and other such parameters - nothing other than 2 hours made any dent. So 2 hours it is. Just wanted to add this perspective. Hope it helps.

"That other animals have more cone cells than humans, e.g. birds with four and shrimp with up to 16, and so probably see colors we can’t even conceive of which, yeah, that limitation of our minds is frustrating, but it also hints that there are huge unseen dark continents of qualia lurking out there which someday we might find a way to visit."

This is based on a misunderstanding regarding the rise of qualia. It is processing power and not sensor capacity or at least both together in some combination with processing power doing the heavy lift. Humans have less cones but several OOM more neurons to make sense of what we have. So no - the shrimp doesn't see in spectacular color.

"For the last few months, I've been cautiously testing a radical-sounding hypothesis on smart people: entrepreneurs are the new labor. Or to put it in a more useful way, the balance of power between investors and entrepreneurs that marks the early, frontier days of a major technology wave (Moore's Law and the Internet in this case) has fallen apart. Investors have won, and their dealings with the entrepreneur class now look far more like the dealings between management and labor (with overtones of parent/child and teacher/student). Those who are attracted to true entrepreneurship are figuring out new ways to work around the traditional investor class. The investor class in turn is struggling to deal with the unpleasant consequences of an outright victory." (2012)

Without "Rich People" in the title, this is a non article, with it - it is a cultural phenom. Welcome to the post Internet world.

This is hacker news self selection talking. The filter: The few who found computer science through gaming and made a cushion of a life which let's us the time luxury to post on an online forum in the middle of a Monday(at least it is the middle of a Monday for me). Meanwhile countless lives went into backbreaking labour work if that in the "below the API" sort of uber and amazon delivery work. These lives and their stories will rarely be represented here. I am speaking for a friend who went into construction and got injured and is on disability at the age of 35. He said he could have made so much more of his life had he not played 24/7 video games for several of his most precious formative years during high-school and early college (of which he dropped out).

Title should read: China has forbidden under-18s from playing VIDEO games for more than three hours/week

There is a right number of days per month where you have to meet people and socialize. It wasn't 22. It is not 0 either. But I believe it is closer to 0 than 22. Personally I feel about 5 days a month would be the right amount to trigger all the benefits of in person knowing.

Not just in Canada. In the US as well.

"Ever since stepping back from Microsoft, Gates has grown to epitomize what might be considered the “Good Billionaire”: a civic-minded, awkward geek who showed how capitalism’s winnings can be marshaled to make the world a better place through philanthropy."

And that he will always be.

People are not fairy tale characters. They are flesh and blood. That Gates had an affair can never take away what he did for the world. If you are a child who got to have a life instead of malaria, you would know perspective from a blown out news cycle.

Thought Experiment: If I run into Bill Gates having coffee in a shop, I might even say Hi or at least smile and wave. If any one of the top 10 Russian/Saudi/Oklahoma oil "tycoons" who have a fraction of Bill's wealth were having coffee (Vodka?) I wouldn't smile or wave for fear they might break my fingers and torture me, my family and friends because why not?

To the point that Fremont PD had to bust a crime ring operating out of SF, the politics there is ridiculous at this point. Also moved out a few years ago.

And you felt the need to create a throwaway account, which already speaks enough about the state of affairs in the US.

Disagree.

I am similar to you in where I am in my career, also similar profile in terms of how I got here, but I don't agree with you. I think this is a natural cycle and it shouldn't be sold as an insight or a learning.

Learning compounds, so if you spend an extra hour at 20 that is like a 1000 hours when you are 40. It is what it is. You have to balance at all times so as to not go over the edge, and loose touch with the feeling of meaning. So I don't regret burning myself from both ends at 20.

I have a kid now, and a family. Things are different, as much if not more fun. But I wouldn't want this life for my 20 year old version. He found meaning and growth in the trenches.

No.

"JavaScript relies heavily on callback functions: Instead of a function giving us a result immediately, we give it another function that tells it what to do next. Many other languages use them as well, but JavaScript is often the first place that programmers with data science backgrounds encounter them."

That sentence from the book clarifies a lot for me. It is Javascript for Data Science People. Taken in that context this is an excellent book written with empathy for the Data Science user who is usually making uneasy excursions which they hope and pray is only temporary into Javascript and running back to Python the first time they encounter a Promise or a Callback.

Couple pointers.

1. I have worked for FAANG adjacent companies(similar market cap) in the silicon valley. It is not exactly a badge of honor, sure - if other people want to honor you and you want to ride it why not. But it is not a badge of honor IMO. Horror? Sure.

2. People talk about 200+ guaranteed for a long time now. I think no one has caught on to it yet. Programmers of this caliber can and do pull ~600K regularly in FAANG and FAANG adjacent. If they are capable of people management at the same time (very few at this programming caliber are), then they will be pushed into the executive situation with millions in stock.

Infact they got it backwards. It takes confidence won from experience and paid for with crisis to say screw that to "Best Practices"

Tipped off, the two escaped in the night but a week later, Foster tracked them by their bloody footprints and shot them, a well-documented but little talked-of chapter in the tragedy“
