Yes it is definitely possible, but not easy, since the INS is as incompetent as they get. However, the brief overview that you have given does not contain all the details required. First of all, have you graduated yet? If yes, then it seems that you should be able to use your OPT until then, and can continue to work on the startup. However, on OPT you cannot receive ownership of any company stock and as such have to be excluded. You are free to work, but not free to own. The company can pay you some salary, provided it has the ability to do that. The rules could be murky here, but as far I understand it, my lawyer expressly stated that I should not own any shares before obtaining my visa. (Although my visa category was an E2 investment visa, which is a different designation)

For your company to sponsor you for an H1 visa, it needs to be able to show that it has considerable financial resources (either revenue, or investors). So if in a year from you have a LOI from an investor or revenue, you can show that to the INS for credibility.

As far as the incorporation goes, I think initially its best to have it as a partnership LLC, since it is pretty flexible and gives you enough wriggle room since LLC's are often open-ended and can be structured in a variety of different ways. Once you go big, have your H1B you can think of shifting towards another incorporation model, as most investors would want you to anyways.

IF you have not graduated, then best advice: take a min number of credits while in school and work on the startup till you get decent sized enough that you can attract funding or have enough revenue to get an H1B or an E2 investor visa.

Hope that helps. I know how hard these immigration issues are to wrap ones head around, so let me know if you have any more questions. I have been through it.

There is also a great blog post written by one of the principals at K9 ventures. I suggest reading all of his stuff on visa issues as well: http://bit.ly/nTsGTy (its a text only version since actual page is not loading)
Depends on how you define 'activations'. The strange wording is a strong hint that it doesn't exactly mean consumer sales.
I wish I did. I heard about it because I used to work with someone who had worked there some years previous.
It's not fraud, there is no lying involved in this. Your an international company that gets money from everywhere, your based everywhere, and you have employees everywhere. Who deserves the bulk of the tax revenue?

Should Toyota pay the majority of it's taxes to the US because they sell a large amount of cars there, or only the income taxes of their employees in the US and the profits they receive from car sales in the USA? Should Japan get the majority of Toyota's tax revenue because they are headquartered there? Even though the majority of Toyota's income from Japan is minor vs the rest of the world combined? What incentive would they have other than personal reasons to stay then vs just use it as a net-loss R&D center and minor manufacturing plant to avoid tariffs?

These things are significantly more gray than you think.
How was the rendering done? I guess that some facial features are made from blended texture mapped polygons (the hair and the neck). The face and the eyes might require some other tricks.

What amazes me is how efficient the rendering is. It uses flash for rendering and is running fast on my netbook. If this could be taken into 3D games, it would make the game characters much more realistic/scary.
Nice, I really like it.

I recall when I was on staff at the Naval Academy, there was a persistent finding in various in-house studies that the female midshipmen got more positive attention and feedback from virtually everyone, from staff and faculty to other midshipmen. Thus paradoxically, going from all male to mostly male made it even less likely for any given male student to find a mentor.
Why are you waiting till you are older? Start earlier, learn earlier, learn more, learn faster, fail earlier (when it's less expensive), succeed earlier (and snowball).

I wish I started earlier. Way earlier.
Isn't this the same strategy that the RIAA and MPAA used? And as far as I can tell it did not work very well.
Do you have many customers and do they identify you through the logo? You may have accumulated some good will in that case.
However, as you have not registered the mark, there is no legal history.

As it is too late to contest their registration, your options are limited. A legal professional will be able to give more detailed advice but from my unprofessional understanding you may be able to preserve your use of the mark by negotiation with the company or possibly using good will and prior use in court.
I do not think you can stop them doing anything however.

I think as a side effect it encourages companies to use credit as a financial buffer (single digit interest rate vs. double digit tax rate) vs. savings since corporate taxes are effectively a tax on corporate savings longer than a few months to a year.
My favorite has always been the google apps problems that tell you to contact support to get a resolution but you can only contact support if you are a paying customer.

support is not google's strong suit.
He included screenshots and a description. Neither are impossible to fake, but either it's a genuine mistake (in which case I would imagine someone would have pointed it out) or he's faking it.

You seem to be accusing him of faking, without any evidence or even a motive.

I'm curious about them. Mind providing a link?
As mentioned below, enterprise value is generally calculated as equity value + debt - (excess) cash. Ebay has approximately $5 billion more cash than debt, so its EV is less than its market cap.

One way to think about why cash is subtracted is that the acquirer gets to keep it. If I pay $10 billion for 100% of a company's shares, but get to keep the $1 billion in cash on the balance sheet, then the actual price of acquiring the company is only $9 billion (assuming no debt). With enough cash, it is possible to have a negative enterprise value.

EV is usually calculated with the current equity value, as that is what the market "believes" the company is worth. If an acquirer comes along and wants to purchase all of the shares at a premium, you can find an implied EV from the offer price.
What totally blew me away was revenue moving from $15.7b to $28.6b.

This is a company that was near death 15 years ago and is now within a hair of being the most valuable company in the world.
I don't use scala, I've played around with it a bit. The question I have when reading though this is, why would I use Kotlin instead of Scala? Can anyone after reading about Kotlin lay out where the really large differentiators are that would seriously sway someone one way or another?
How does the article deliver? I don't see, in the comments on his blog or here, any evidence that this has been independently reproduced. He's got a description, and some "screenshots" and, oh, Google seems to already have fixed it. How... convenient?

I'm not saying it's fake, but I don't see any reason to believe it. Am I missing something?
The prices are the same for all the versions (size or location), so I don't know why they ask.

The only thing that seems to change the price is the organization type.
For me, the graph seems to follow almost perfectly the hype cycle you get with every new innovation (the main deviation being the dip around 2009, courtesy of the Great Recession). My belief is that web-based apps are entering the "plateau of productivity" phase, and we won't see a second internet bubble.

There might be a second internet bubble if certain internet-related innovations seem sufficiently novel to start new hype cycles. Maybe a social bubble (not too likely, but could happen in the next 2 years) or a mobile/tablet bubble (a bit more likely, but will take 4 or 5 years to burst).

Of course in the decades to come we'll see 3d printing bubbles, nanotechnology bubbles, commercial space flight bubbles, and more. People always get overexcited about new technology - the more potential the technology has, the more over-excitement.
Check with a good IP lawyer in your area. In general, with trademarks, first use in a given geographic area gives you superior rights over a subsequent mark that is federally registered but only later brought into use. With respect to the geography in which the first use takes precedence (this is called "common law trademark rights," the junior mark (i.e., the one used later in time though first registered) will normally wind up being the infringing mark concerning use in that area (thus, Amazon registered a powerful mark but wound up having to pay a small Minneapolis bookstore known as "Amazon Bookstore" to settle up with it for infringing its common law rights in the Minneapolis area - which rights were superior to Amazon's in that area owing to the small bookstore's having been the first to use the Amazon mark in that area, even though they never registered it).

These areas are complex and I can't advise on your specific case in a public forum. I note the above analysis only to suggest that you explore your rights further - you very likely hold the strong hand here.
They're gonna be raided like meth labs once Apple gets wind of this (if they haven't already).
I am involved in Django and love it and the community. I only do RoR work when I have to and I hate it.

It comes down to personal preference. To me Django was much easier, more flexible, and "funner" to work in.
Yeah, but you could say the same thing about Apple if it had stuck to making only Macs. Also, Apple is to a great degree responsible for making some of the markets in hot. Thus the comparison is still valid
Music publishing with the help of Internet marketing
Promoting music albums on the internet is a great concept and it has helped to increase the band promotion on the internet. Online music promotions have helped to increase the popularity of the music albums in a big way. Music publishing on the internet is also called as internet marketing tool. The combination of internet with marketing is a handy tool for the music band promotion companies worldwide.
Apple is in a position now where it could shave off some margin on the Mac side and try to bump that share number up to 10% or 20% or even 30%.

The world would be a better place.

yes we have about 180,000 users signed up and we assume they identify us through the logo. It's a big ass logo.

Not only does the US tax its citizens who live and work abroad, it will also do so for 10 years after one renounces citizenship.

"It can just query requests over network like maeon3 suggests."

Of course, you do realize that requests over a network need a server to reply to them? Millions of people making such requests would need quite a fews servers indeed. That is where the mass deployment would come in.

Still, I wonder... If someone was crazy enough, they could probably accomplish quite a bit with data scrapers, regular expression matching, and some distributed computing fairy dust.

That doesn't mean its population density can't be higher per square mile. It just means that the city is smaller than one square mile. I can't find a direct source for Banupur, but Bally, which is nearby, works out to about 56,000 people per square mile (22,000/sq km), according to the town's official web page: http://howrah.gov.in/Templates/Area_popu.htm .
You do realize that the actions Apple takes are what is responsible for its success?
When I was in China in 2006 I wondered into a fake Nike store of similar quality (In a residential neighborhood of Beijing). I too thought it was a real store, the only thing that gave it away was when I actually picked up the shoes in the store, I noticed all the swooshes were upside down!

Almost seemed like a waste to go through the whole effort of knocking off an entire store, only to fill it with obviously fake merchandise.
America used to be notorious in the 18th and 19th centuries for ignoring copyrights and patents filed in Europe.

For example:

"Johns describes how the first generation of American publishers came to constitute themselves as book pirates who openly violated British copyright law by systematically reprinting works that the British publishers considered their own lawful property. This laid the foundations for a vital but highly controversial book market in the new world and Johns concludes that by “the 1820s, Jacksonian America had a secure and vibrant public sphere – but to European eyes an utterly piratical one”.

How Asus triumphed over Apple
Basing whether or not Aaron's actions were "wire fraud" based on quantity doesn't really make sense. Saying he downloaded more than other users at MIT is really just saying other people requested less files than he did. I remember when I needed academic papers, I stopped using my institution's access to JSTOR because frequently the same paper could be found (legally) using Google Scholar or similar. As academia switches to things like arXiv, JSTOR will be used less and less. I understand that 2 million is orders-greater than an average individual might request, but basing the legality on quantity is flawed. If one file is accessed illegally, you have broken the law. If 2 million are, you have also broken the law.

As to being entirely clear, yes, I would have expected the employees at JSTOR (like the VP of technology making $300k) to have thought of possible ways to rate limit a connection. Just as you can prevent DDOS with something like iptables hashlimit, JSTOR could have done something better than simply refusing all MIT traffic. http://serverfault.com/questions/211135/how-to-prevent-a-loi...

As an analogy, if I host 1 million images of cats on my webserver, and I keep everything open and allow indexes in the Apache configuration, expecting the average person to only download 10 pictures and then you use 'a little WGET magic' to download 1 million jpgs, it seems odd for me to complain when my server crashes and my friend Erica can't download 1 single cat image that she had been wanting to. Yes, your downloads caused the tie up but how angry can I be? Your browser sent a request to my server and my server fulfilled the request.

Like David Segal says, the United States government wants to punish someone for an action akin to allegedly checking out too many books from the library. Over the objections of both MIT and JSTOR, presumably. And you're saying I'm bonkers.
But, given the rest of the indictment, I'd think that the prosecutor would be sure to throw in "Swartz picked the lock on the restricted wiring closet in order to introduce the Acer computer," since it would incline the grand jury to be more likely to hand down an indictment — unless she knew this was false.
Yay for yet another interesting blog post wrapped in OnSwipe's miserable, unnecessary iPad theme.
It has to do with the way plan9 guarantees atomic writes of small buffers. A single write() call will correspond to a single read() call if the buffer is big enough to receive it.
You might say that being open and notorious is required for effective civil disobedience, but this is clearly still civil disobedience. (And consequently criminal.)

Personally, I find nonviolent resistance perfectly defensible for a just cause. Why do you suggest it's indefensible?
An in-app purchase doesn't show a URL.
I'm not really swayed by comparisons that include things like: 'Complicated logic for initialization of traits'.

Does Kotlin have traits or something similar? If yes, are they complicated to initialize? If not, then does it matter as a point of comparison that Scala has something that might be complicated if Kotlin offers nothing comparable?

I'm really mostly working from a high level of ignorance here.

Its not mental energy. Its actually habit. Work ethic is a habit... ie you do it WITHOUT thinking.

The only way to gain it is by working hard at anything. Preferably in a skill that you want to develop.

Practice practice practice. Going to the gym and staying healthy is important but have a closer look at Reid Hoffman, Mark Zuckerburg and Rex Ryan --- you wouldnt introduce them to someone who you'd like to impress with the benefits of gym-going.

Practice, practice, practice & dont give up.
I don't like most police either, but that doesn't make me a criminal. It's a matter of disliking people with bad manners. Scheduling important office hours and taking a break in the middle is bad manners. Not returning smiles is bad manners. Believe it or not, living in a world with pleasant friendly people is actually nicer than having an NYU MBA, or a high paying job. So when I see people trying to justify their unpleasantness I don't like it.
Why would anyone engage in any "programmed" gambling game? It would seem trivial to give the user the appearance of winning but ultimately have it programmed that the house comes out on top.
I have a system which includes date information in HMACs and reduces the window for chopchopping a single HMAC down to a single day. Should I still make sure these things can't happen in my code? How reliable are these attacks? It's hard to find public PoC code for these things.
It would be way to easy to ignore and rationalize away numbers on a table, making it personal for them means automatically fast for every user.
It's hard to trivialize downloading 4 million articles using a web scraper's bag of tricks and then some. If the information was publicly accessible these charges wouldn't stand unless he tried to distribute it. If it was something so commendable, why would you cloak your activities or go to a different university to do your dirt instead of Harvard (where your a fellow of some sort) or Stanford (where you attended). Regardless of the motives and ideals or the excess of the charges, this isn't one of those hapless grandma versus the RIAA stories. He must have known what he was doing.

The pricing and restrictions on the dissemination of academic papers is by any rational evaluation nothing short of ridiculous and contradicts the academic ideal of free exchange of ideas for the advancement of knowledge. However, history of scholarship is also a history of patronage, academic politics and in-fighting for greater prestige.

It's sad that someone like Aaron has to be treated like a domestic terrorist. It's sad that we have a vindictive justice system willing to flaunt the Constitution in this day and age with what effectively amounts to cruel and unusual punishment so they can "make an example" out of someone.

However, it's no one's fault that Aaron was so emboldened to take this initiative without sufficiently ensuring that he would be free from criminal prosecution.

Am I alone in thinking that these "hacktivists" will only prompt government to push more frivolous data theft laws and heavier punishment for offenses that may one day victimize hapless, innocent people? It's going to get a lot worse before it gets better.
Multi-line mode should be fixed. Now the whole intercepting tab thing is actually useful.
> "I'm just wondering why we suddenly need so much technology to solve a problem that's always been with us [...]"

Humans have been around for hundreds of thousands of years, but only within the last ten thousand have we been living in cities with population densities even close to that of Banupur (for instance). I'd reckon that these kinds of sanitation problems are actually very new to humanity, at least from a historical or evolutionary standpoint.
Because now you know the email is spelled "security@google.com", it would be easy to come up with search query that returns that email address after the fact.
