vkat··on USCIS Proposes Rule to Welcome International Entrepreneurs
It is just temporary until fiscal year starts again, much better than EB2/EB3 who have to wait more than a decade.
vkat··on Cisco to lay off about 14,000 employees
I work here and this is a surprise to me, company seems to be doing well there has been considerable hiring in my organization in the past few months so I am not sure why 20% of the employees are being laid off.

vkat··on Sanitation and Health Rights in India (YC W16 Nonprofit)
I agree there is a lot of homelessness, but strongly disagree that the society hates women. I grew up in India and I will say there is a lot of respect for women in India. The uneducated/unemployed people are always there in every country, you will see a higher percentage in India and what you describe is mostly their doings.
vkat··on Stripe – Outage postmortem
We do a ton of database updates regularly and we rely on a simple wiki put together that has all install instructions for a release which goes through sr engineers peer review. Seems like having a single tool/document for code and db updates could have mitigated this?

vkat··on Roadster 3.0
Agree. We have them on our 2012 Camry hybrid and they are terrible. Tread is almost gone at 24000 miles and road grip is the worst. The tires squeal while reversing because of the turn radius. Maybe there is a better tire brand but I will be opting out of LRR when we have to replace the tires.
vkat··on Go In Action
Read the first chapter and bought the eBook.
