In Los Angeles area, how does one get involved in these projects? I would like to volunteer at a local research lab. I am coming from a computer scientist background and would like to learn more about the medical space.

It would be great if there is a comment section, or private Q&A, to ask founders questions.
ktu100··on Amazon Prime Strikes Deal for Most PBS Children’s Shows
On this topic, I am working on an app that aggregates toddler music videos or nursery rhythms. It will help to occupy the child when parents are temporarily busy or calm them down in public areas.

However, I have no experience in the music / video industry. I am starting with the simplest solution: embed Youtube videos. What can I do to allow parents to legally download the videos for offline viewing? (willing partnership, free public content, have my own production, ...). The songs I am looking for are ABC, Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars, etc. Would appreciate any feedbacks!

ktu100··on Gaming the H-1B system for good
yes, your understanding is correct. The odd was 1 out of 3 this year I think.
ktu100··on Medium's Technology Stack
On this topic, I would like to get a book's recommendation on how to build a full stack product like this. Something more technical with war stories.

My background: I'm a very strong iOS engineer with decent Python and JS skill. However my backend skill is limited at: building a Flask app with custom end points. It will talk to a single sql instance. I'm completely oblivious to memcache, load balancer, different AWS services. My plan is (surprise surprise) to quit my day job next year to pursue my own project and I would like to gather enough best practice and understanding of a full stack app.

Thank you!
