> Up to now I have not heard a single politian which puts into question whether the UK is going to leave or not.

There is a difference between a consensus among politicians and a decision of the government; the UK is almost certain to leave, and to invoke Article 50 in the near future, but no British government has actually made a decision to do that.

But it doesn't benefit anyone -- the EU as much as the UK -- for there not to be a consistent hand at the wheel for the exit negotiations.

> But it seems that instead of accepting the consequences of your decissions

As an American who thinks the Brexit is a ill-considered idea, they aren't my decisions.

> But frankly, the EU is not interested in your petty internal quarrels anymore. All EU politicians seem to agree too: they want to start negotiations asap.

With whom? The present government of the UK doesn't represent the will of the people who voted to leave. That seems to be a big part of why Cameron is leaving -- the referendum was, in clear message if not in the formal, parliamentary sense, a vote of no confidence in both the present government and even the institutional party system in the UK, as much as it was a vote against the UK's future in the EU.

It's not about punishment, but fairness and self-preservation. There's no point to the EU if countries can leave and enjoy the perks of membership at the same time. If the EU is going to come out of this in one piece, they will need to demonstrate that the perks of membership go hand-and-hand with the sacrifices needed to make things work.

Unfortunately for Britain, they've shown their hand early and they have no real leverage. I think the EU will demonstrate good will because they understand that those most directly affected by this vote did not agree with it. So I won't be surprised to see visa waivers and the like for expats.

I also think future trade agreements will be "fair." Which is to say, I don't think they will be punitive, but I doubt it will be as favorable to "independent" England as it was to "member" England.

Hi Peter,

If I am a UK contractor with my own Limited company, what visa - if any, do I need to be able to do a 6-month contract in the US?

Thank you.
To some extent, I think this is what Brexit supporters want. With fewer jobs in London and rest of UK, and more border controls, the attraction of the UK for migrants decreases significantly. The ultra heated real estate market can finally cool down a bit.
>And 25% was in any case a very poor prediction considering these markets are supposed to be more accurate than polls

If the markets predicted 75% A vs 25% B and A always turned up, that would make them a poor prediction. Predicting 25% B may mean they're not making much of a prediction (since they're not so far off from 50/50), but it doesn't mean that B being the outcome is indicative of a the prediction being deeply wrong.
>> These are Tory policies; Labor opposes them.

> That's not really the case. ...

Austerity is a Tory policy ... I don't know about the rest, but Labor hasn't been in power for awhile.

> there is a perception in these communities – false though it may be – that 'immigrants from the EU' come to the UK and 'take jobs

That's the propaganda. Social services are reduced by Tory austerity, and then they blame the immigrants. Similar things happen in other places in Europe, especially blaming immigrants.

Did you read the whole article? Sure sounds like racism to me. The lynching wasn't just about rape. It was about rape allegedly committed by black boys against a white woman.
What an incredibly misleading statement. Even a minimal review of the history[1] shows that the 27th amendment was not under consideration for 203 years; rather, it was originally proposed in 1789, and interest in it was not revived for roughly 200 years.

As to the other amendments[2], 203 years is an extreme and unrepresentative outlier. The original bill of rights took a little over 2 years to ratify, and nearly all of the rest have taken under 1.5 years. The only one to take longer than 3 years was the highly controversial 16th amendment.

Exactly, which casts strong doubts on the this claim from your earlier post: "We will negotiate a trade deal with the EU as a whole."

Because, you know, that is a trade deal between the 27 remaining EU countries and a non-(or soon to be non-)EU country, the exact thing you say that the EU isn't successful at doing.

> Ataturk would be turning over in his grave if he saw what that other guy is doing in the country he founded.

Well Atatürk was not exactly a saint, for example I've just learnt the history of İzmir, which had a large Greek population who had been living there for generation and was relocated to Greece after the Greco-Turkish war.

Some of the events around the revolution and the subsequent foundation of the Turkish Republic would now be considered ethnic cleansing now. And the man is still worshipped in Turkey (at least in parts of the country that don't have an AKP majority). In İzmir there is even a Mount-Rushmore-like statue with his face.

This is not to say that Erdoǧan is better, far from it. But Turkey is a complicated country with a complicated history and talking about Kemalists vs Islamists as if they were good guys vs bad guys is a bit simplistic.
Toughbooks are awesome. I've used several CF-19s over the years for geologic mapping, and they're excellent though a little heavy. The rubberized keyboard kind of sucks and the one I have now has a backlit keyboard which is great for working in the tent at night, but could be a point of failure if you use it in heavy rain.

The integrated GPS receivers are quite nice for mapping as well as navigation. It's cool having the geologic map open in QGIS with the little arrow showing you where you are as you drive. If, you know, you're in to that sort of thing.

I agree. Their subscription functionality is half-baked. We're 2 years into using Stripe for subscription management and it's such a hassle to move anywhere else that we keep hobbling along with it.

- You can go from TN to EB3; it just gets hairy for the period of time that your AOS is being evaluated. I was going through the process when my H1-B got approved and switched to that. There's a 60 day wait period after you last enter on TN, and you cannot leave the country when the AOS gets filed until you get your EAD and AP or GC, whichever comes first.

- Green card will not take 8 years unless you were born in India, China, or the Philippines. EB-3 priority date for rest of world is March 2016, and it takes longer than 3 months to get PERM approved, so by the time it gets approved it would be current. After that, it takes about 6-9 months to get the AOS approved (and you usually get your EAD/AP a little earlier).

I do not have reference handy, but recently read (on HN itself, I guess) that there is lot of interest among programmers living in "limited-opportunity" places in India to work on Bug Bounty programs. Obviously, one reason is time on hand. Other motivation could be the bounty itself. Even < $100 bounty is significant income. Thirdly, this honor badge is a ticket to a job interview, if not a job itself, in companies in bigger cities and possibly a better quality of life.

Again, I am theorizing without providing references.

Hi Peter, Thank you much for doing this. I am a startup founder who plans to obtain E-2 visa and uses it for residency during the first 2 years of business. I hope to transfer to EB-1 or EB-2 with National Interest Waiver (NIW) as soon as possible.

1) What are the possibilities and timeline for applying to EB-2 while holding E-2 with majority interest in the startup? (I have a Masters in CS from a major US research university. It seems to be a challenge to qualify for EB-1 within the next 2 years, but NIW looks quite possible to me.)

A major reason for the plan is that E-2 treaty with my country limits the period of travel out and back into the US to 6 months after the visa approval. After 6 months, it appears that I will need to renew the visa every time I wish to come back to the US, which would be a major time sink.

2) Would EB-2 give its holders complete freedom to travel back to the States without issues and to stay as long as they wish?

3) Are EB-2 holders required to maintain employment with the original employer?

If you have time: I would strongly consider to become a US citizen after receiving an EB-2. What is the typical timeline and conditions to transfer from EB-2 to US citizenship?

Greatly appreciate it.

As I have mentioned several times to you start with vapnik. That's where modern ml begins. Brieman is great but he got a few things wrong, for example he thought boosting and bagging are fundamentally the same, that is they are just variance minimization methods. In fact boosting us what gives random forest its power. BTW less well known trick, use random rotation not just random selection of features or datapoints. Their's lot more to ml than decision trees. One of its fundamental framework is convergence of empirical processes, which is essentially glivenko cantelli on steroids. Vapnik and Chervonenkis provided the first modern breakthrough result but a lot has happened since then.

I would say screw the hype just read what it is. I think your disdain for the name 'machine learning' is getting in your way.

I strongly disagree with your allegation of academic dishonesty though. Optimization has been a fundamental part of ml from the very start and with a strong overlap in the community. I am sure nemirovskii will ring a bell. In any case how can ml steal from applied math when it is applied math. The lingo differs here and there: estimating parameters become learning parameters etc.

Andrew NGO's course is not for you. Go directly to the books and then conference and journal papers.

Focus varies but info theory, stats, signal processing, approximation theory are pretty much the same thing, so are their open problems.

Btw you could not be more wrong about stochastic optimal control or repeated games being far from current ml. Oh and another major major tool in ml is geometry of function spaces. You are reading the wrong sources, probably the populist ones. Get to the real stuff given what i know of your taste in math i think you will enjoy it.
my public library recently switched to this system I think, it used to be that you had to put each book one at a time on the self-checkout to "demagnetize" and orient it so it could read the barcode

With the new system you just pile all your books / dvds at once on the reader in whatever orientation and it checks out every one of them automatically, the slowest part is having to punch in the pin of your library card, next step I guess it could be having touchid on the reader or something along those lines

re-posting my comment so it can be read and rebutted rather than just downvoted:

Theranos technology is more like typical startup tech. How many bugs did Facebook's feed algorithm suffer before it finally got stable? How many pages of sub-optimal search results has Google returned? How many major security bugs have been found in Windows, Chrome, Linux, etc?

Healthcare is one area where many people (particularly Americans) have the absurd idea that everything has to work perfectly.

Think of the level of indignation people feel when a surgeon who spent 15 years beyond college doing advanced training (for little pay) makes a small mistake that costs someone's life. Or an OB misjudges something and ends up in a major lawsuit.

But for other jobs, mistakes are a part of life. In software we are proud to decrease our bugs through testing and improved techniques and processes, but nobody expects perfection. Even mass market products like TurboTax ship with tons of bugs. Lawyers routinely let innocent people wind up in jail out of pure incompetence.

We need to get over it. Theranos is doing something very smart and while it needs some additional refinement, it is pretty clear that doing large scale blood testing/monitoring is the future of diagnostic medicine.

The irrationality we have about healthcare being perfect is a) false (mistakes get swept under the rug all the time) and b) counterproductive because it gives us a sense of mastery over our destiny that we simply do not (yet) have.

Let's also not forget that medicine is plagued by a very irrational risk aversion, which is why many useful treatments are available around the world but not in the US.
I'm loathe to give him credit for publicly saying the most ridiculous things imaginable from one in his position.
It depends on where you live.

In Saskatchewan, for example, there is a public sector telco (Sasktel) that provides the same services that the big three national telcos (Rogers, Bell, Telus) provide. As a result, the prices in Saskatchewan are significantly cheaper than in neighbouring Alberta (where there are only the big three).

It's very eye-opening to go to the Rogers site and flip between AB and SK to see how the prices change.

I'm deliberately excluding the smaller players like Wind because they don't provide the same service, the smaller players lack the geographical coverage that the big three have.

According to the story it mattered that somebody stood up and DECLARED his innocence. If the mob was just up for killing black people (aka - hate) there would be no reason for that to stop them. The mob was out for what they perceived as some deranged form of justice.

This is extremely important. The weight of existing prejudice drives and reinforces future prejudice. Garbage in, garbage out. If you start with biased, flawed data, and you look for patterns like the biased, flawed data, you'll just add to the biases and flaws. You need to account for the poor data quality explicitly.
> EU has a very strong cultural union that was created by the enunciation of the French Revolution principles. It's not by accident that, for example, there is no state in EU with death penalty.

This is a somewhat funny thing to say, considering how many people were given the death penalty in the French revolution and its aftermath. Executions for "crimes against liberty" and whatever are estimated to have been between 16,000 and 40,000. [0]

Hi Peter,

I live in Central America, I have been working as a remote worker for US-based companies for around 5 years now, the past 1.5 years working for a company on Seattle, I haven't signed any formal work-contract but my current employer is willing to help me to obtain a VISA to inmigrate to the US (I only have a tourist VISA right now).

I'm also in the way to co-found a company with my employer as partner, I will get 16% of ownership over it.

What are my best options to move to the US?

May I still apply to an H1B visa despite not having a formal work-contral? (the payments records, Skype logs and emails are the only proof I have)
TBH, it really is not dev friendly due to odd/old versions, having to install brew etc.

Your claim does not really follow the standard meaning.

Bit Rot is usually defined as all the ways that software can appear to stop serving it's function despite remaining the same, in the sense of being the same bits (or bytecode or interpreted code) run by the same computer.

"the software does not actually decay, but rather suffers from a lack of being responsive and updated with respect to the changing environment in which it resides."

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_rot

Edit: Not being able to recreate or modify a given piece of software would an example of the bit of your tools/environment and this is one (but the only) source of bitrot in a piece of code.

jameshush would need to have $1 million or $500k (if he wants to open his startup in a poor/remote area) to get this visa.

I don't know about jameshush, but most people don't have that level of disposable assets lying around that they can just expend on a business venture.

Also, FYI, you cannot get $500k of investment and qualify for the EB-5 visa. The $500k has to be your own money.
