negrit··on I'm Peter Roberts, immigration attorney, who does work for YC and startups. AMA
Hey Peter.
negrit··on Hyperloop One to shut down
CA isn't the only state investing in high speed rail. Elon musk lied to many people in many states with his Hyperloop project.
negrit··on Poly Network hacker returns $258M after stealing $600M

negrit··on Detecting depression with machine learning: The why and the how
That's a really interesting idea. I would be curious to apply this ML method against a personal diary and see if it is possible to detect mental state changes overtime.
negrit··on Evolution of Search Engines Architecture – Algolia Search Architecture Part 1
I disagree. I'm a early Algolia adopter(and an engineer) and as an engineer they are a no-brainer for me.

Search is really hard even with the best elasticsearch libraries. IMO the biggest blocker with algolia is the price. It's really hard to get company buy-in because leadership don't get it: "Just build it"

After the CEO got caught lying on TV, that's unacceptable.

negrit··on Apple has €13bn Irish tax bill overturned
I'm pretty sure Apple has an entity in Europe therefor the money this entity makes in Europe should be taxed in Europe.
negrit··on I Just Hit $100k/year On GitHub Sponsors
Yes it's a numbers game. Apply for as much job as possible and ask for a minimum of $200k base. With a little bit of back and forth you can settle for $180k and then get a lot of equity.

Yes but the author is American So he'll always have to pay US taxes even if he moves out of the US.(I'm aware about tax treaties but in most cases they still have to pay the difference)

It's not a race to the bottom.
negrit··on Company threatens to sue volunteers who 3D-printed valves for coronavirus aid
In the US yes, thanks god not every country has 3rd world healthcare.
negrit··on Company threatens to sue volunteers who 3D-printed valves for coronavirus aid
The very likely overpriced. The healthcare industry made over $100 billion in the US only in 2018. I've experienced it first hand, UCSF tried to force me into buying a ($174) kneebrace for over $2400...

And the fact that they are threatening to sue for something they couldn't sell is disgusting.

Plenty of houses in outer richmond, sunset, ingleside, ... have multiple in-law units and converted garages. The cost of living is too expensive.
negrit··on U.S. will suspend all travel from Europe for 30 days
Common most of the houses in outer richmond, sunset, ingleside, ... have multiple in-law units and converted garages. The cost of living is too expensive in those cities.

> Americans have big garages to stockpile supplies

No they don't. No one in NYC, Boston, San Francisco, Seattle, ... have big garages to stockpile supplies and most of the US lives in those big cities with apartments without garages.

In the suburbs they do but that's a minority of the population.

negrit··on Ask HN: What was your best passive income of 2019?
I’ll post mine since I started the topic. I sold a couple pictures of my travel this year. Got a few hundred bucks out of it. I’m pretty happy about it since the goal wasn’t to make money out of it.
negrit··on California car burglaries are at crisis levels
What kind of argument is that, its not a race to the bottom...
negrit··on Y Combinator Top Companies List 2019
Surprising to not see Zenefits in the list
negrit··on Snap Detailed Facebook’s Aggressive Tactics in ‘Project Voldemort’ Dossier
So because you're bearish you think that SNAP's CEO regrets his decision?
negrit··on Rent control will make housing shortages worse?
In my opinion it's fair the have a rent increase if the property owner has a tax increase.

Absolutely not true
negrit··on US takes 'richest nation on earth' crown from Switzerland
I'm fairly confident that the person I'm replying to knows this.

A better phrasing would be "subsidized healthcare".

negrit··on Rent control will make housing shortages worse?
How about rent increase matches property tax increase + inflation. If a property owner isn't paying fair taxes on its property value then rent isn't getting increased as well.

Many cities are actually regulating/pushing regulations against short-term rentals.
