Hi Peter, thank you so much for this! I have questions about the O1 visa.

1. If a startup sponsors an O1 for a founder, will there be any issues with 1/ the O1 founder having the CEO title 2/ the O1 founder owning between 30-50% equity in the company? Is it effectively the same as if I was on a green card?

2. If the startup that sponsors the O1 substantially pivots to a new idea, what are the implications for visa status? Does it require an entirely new application?

Thanks so much!
Hi Peter,

Thank you for taking the time to answer the questions. Mine is: how long should a Green Card holder stay with the company that sponsored the GC to avoid future problems with USCIS?
> In the real world the code needs to compile first, of course, then run

This is not true in my experience as a professional. I write pseudocode all the time. Often the fastest way to evaluate architecture choices is to sketch out your architecture, sketch the consumers of your proposed API, and see what issues come up.

Making this kind of code compile is a waste of time. Reading code without the computer is a crucial skill.

Graders require compiling code because it's easier to grade.
Academic positions are different than getting a job.

The US will always be the beacon of innovation in the world. These are just doom and gloom clickbait articles.
Thanks but I have accepted another offer
I don't approve of scaring people like that of course.

But it's possible that they thought you were carrying the protest on into the train station or some other place which they had safety concerns about.
No this was two months ago

Maybe they're still doing it
Titan is just one of several measures we take to harden our stack, and helps us be confident in the software we run. It's a good point though, there are no absolutes in security.

It is legal but you just can't be compensated for services rendered to the startup unless you have work authorization to do so.
Compared to say Python, it does act a bit like importing free functions without explicitly naming them, but you do get the bonus of type-based dispatch and overloading.

using System.Linq;
foo.Select(x => bar);

from itertools import *
imap(foo, lambda x: bar)
risking? it's been happening for years.
I don't think people are acting as if it's a new threat, but rather alarmed that it's reached the levels it has.

That is new, even if it has been ramping up a long time.
Is there a site out there that details what the actual scenarios are and how to survive them (if at all possible)? I mean if there is a giant methane burp from the ocean floor, can I and my family survive by wearing gas masks for 7 days? I honestly have NO IDEA. Just curious if anyone has gone through this methodically and developed survival plans.
Also I still don't understand what features does it have. Is it just clone of del.icio.us, but with screenshots and some extracted text? Or it allows to build collection of items based on data extracted from websites? I don't see any data in links I collected, but it's probably because these pages don't contain any structured data recognizable by link.fish, and rules for such data are hard-coded.

The only way to get description of what this website does is to watch video, there's no text version. I hate videos, they're very synchronous and you have to turn off music to watch them.
I'm afraid this ecosystem will die anyway as the ice thaws.

The fossil fuels that are transported that way will further that process one way or the other.
Hi Peter, thanks for doing this.
I'm on L1B, and I was surprised to receive 221(g) while renewing my visa.

I was told to wait for 2-6+ months for a response and crossed my existing visa that expires end of the year.

If my visa expires before hearing back, does that mean I lose my job in the US? It's a European company so they might offer me to transfer back to the UK.

Do I have any rights in such a situation? like ask for a reason for this, or perhaps a severance pay? can I still visit my spouse (in MA) on an ESTA given this is considered a visa rejection for now?

Thanks again.
Peter, for an E2 visa, when demonstrating that an investment is "substantial", how does the accounting work for intangible or in-kind contributions to the business? Is it possible to include the value of time spent building the initial product (while outside the US)? Does it make a difference if the applicant had a foreign company to do the initial development and paid themselves a salary?
I have at least 4 Android phones that have either a broken screen (but still usable) or are just too old to run a recent version of Android. Anybody knows how can I use them as computers or even servers? how to connect them to the network without using wifi? they obviously don't come with a network port.
Doesn't this open up the door to using legality as a proxy for morality? Shouldn't a company, regardless of the service they provide, be free to establish their own conditions under which they will act or not act?
My understanding of the attempts to bring back the mammoth from extinction is partially driven to preserve tundra permafrost. The mammoth removes the insulating snow layer.. seems like there might be easier ways, but it might work...

The Moon can be useful as an outpost, like Antartica. In contrast Mars can be made into an actual home for us.

Also, as others have pointed, closer/further is a tricky thing when talking about interplanetary travel:

There's at least one colonization plan floating around using what's essentially Apollo-era hardware for getting to Mars for that Delta-v related reason.
This proposal was made about hidden services rather than exit nodes. Exit nodes can already refuse to exit to particular sites (by IP address).

https://stem.torproject.org/api/exit_policy.html

However, when doing so, they have to declare this so that nobody will try to exit to those sites through them. They aren't allowed to claim to be able to exit to a site but then refuse to actually do it (if a scanner catches an exit relay doing so, it will be marked as a BadExit).

Again, for exit relays, they can openly say "Don't use this relay if you want to access site X", but not "It's fine to use this relay to access site X [but we will secretly then block it]". However, if multiple sites share a single IP address, or if sites use domain fronting to bypass blocking, exit nodes won't succeed in selectively refusing to help people connect to individual sites via exit policy.

Hidden services don't have this feature but it would probably be technically possible to add a feature for current-generation hidden services where relays attempt to disrupt connections to particular hidden services (although not all relays will be in a position to do so). In my understand of next-generation hidden services, which are being rolled out now, it's no longer technically possible for relays to do this because the identity of the hidden service being connected to is hidden from everyone. But I'd like to double-check this to better understand exactly what is hidden from whom.

The kind of proposal this person made is definitely a non-starter for Tor at the community level; the Tor community overall is committed to the idea that nobody should have the power to monitor or block communications (at least at the network layer). There may be disagreement about how that power should be used when it happens to exist, but I think the community's ideal of trying to get rid of that power is clear.
There are countless of reasons why people want to move to the US. From getting married, to living in Los Angeles, to business opportunities...
And people don't care. Their pocket devices keep them engaged on what content providers want them engaged on. They can't see through it all.
That was very patronizing. Everyone's time is valuable, and personally I choose to believe that Hacker News is NOT a troll destination, but made up of smart people with (on occasion) diverse opinions.

More to the point: the question he SHOULD he asking is "Does the government actually have a legitimate and constitutionally-sound need for this information?" If "yes", then his question follows ("What alternatives exist for getting this info?")

Your question, on the other hand, presupposes that it's indeed a violation of 4th amendment. Which it may well and likely is (sure seems like it!)... but the first question that has to be answered is whether this is a violation or not.
A decade+ ago I won the lottery on my third year trying. I got the winning notice the same month I got the Canadian immigrant visa (obtained as Skilled Worker) stamped in my passport. We chose to go to Vancouver.

I don't know about survivor bias but I think the movies were right. The odds are ever in you favor, and you can't see past the choices you don't understand ;)
It's so hard to say but my feeling is that (right or wrong) anything that gets implemented won't really impact highly skilled and educated workers and might even benefit them.
I believe they address this in the first major heading, where they say:

Hey Peter, thanks for doing this :)

I'm on an O1, founder or a company and have slightly less than 50% onwernship.

I've been thinking of getting a green card. What's the best approach?
Time to move to Stripe.
At $140k you would struggle to afford real estate in the major US cities. Sure, it's enough for a single male with few hobbies to live in a studio apartment and eat fast food whenever he wants, ignoring the prospects of retirement and starting a family -- but that's not really enough, now, is it?
Has anyone got Concurrent H1Bs? How did you do it?
OpenShift Online 2 platform dying soon, any alternative?
OpenShift Online 2 platform will be deactivated in 30th of September and as many of you may know the bronze plan was really a great one for hosting small apps nearly free. Unfortunately in the new version the cheapest way of preventing a hibernation of your app is to pay $50 per month. What alternatives can we consider ?
To me, too. Paypal isn't a government institution. They can choose who to partner with by whatever metrics they want.
It is for sure, but it's tough getting them to do what they're supposed to do.
Lots of people complain about Kaiser. I was a member when I was growing up, and have signed up again now that I have a job offering Kaiser coverage.

For me Kaiser is a couple things. First of all it is peace of mind. They won't screw you. Essentially everything they offer is covered at a reasonable rate. Example: I was sent to the emergency room once and was able to pay on the spot with the cash in my wallet. Secondly, if you go to one of their medical centers everything is in that building. When I am sick, I don't want to go to a few stops across town to get everything (doctors office, lab, pharmacy, etc).

Additionally they actively do things to keep people healthy. They host farmers markets at some of their centers, run advertisements focused on getting exercise and eating well. In general, they make you feel like they are on your side.

There's been a huge uptick in RFEs.
risking? it's been happing for years already. both in the "drain" sense, those leaving the US, and with fewer "brains" coming to the US from other places. also, with the decline in US academics, fewer are being created in the US to begin with. altogether, three different factors making a "brain drain".
Looks great! Would be awesome if it would ignore 404, 403, etc. I tried importing some old bookmarks and a bunch of the sites don't exist anymore.
But the presence of water on the Moon is more limited than the presence of CO2 and H2O on Mars. That could be significant for self-sufficiency. Especially if we could find a way to make plastics from CO2 and H2O in a reasonably small mobile device. Just grow your colony out of the stuff you suck out for the atmosphere...
Companies that engage in environmentally-risky practices should be fined so heavily that they shouldn't attempt environmentally risky things unless they know they can do it properly. This creates a great advantage for well-run companies because it's basically a moat. Other companies that try it will fail dramatically because they'll get fined into oblivion.

This, to me, includes chemical factories. Whenever they have a gas leak, or an chemical spill, the fines should be utterly draconian. Personally I think a CEO of a chemical company should live no more than 1 mile away from one of her factories, but that's the environmental fascist in me.

Ineffective government officials should be fired with prejudice.
