So is marrying a citizen or getting an H-1. They are legal. Read my comment, I mean someone from any part of the world, just getting enough money for a plane ticket, getting on a plane or boat, landing in NY and eventually becoming a citizen of US. No need to marry anyone, getting any company to sponsor you, no "gifted" abilities, no need for $50K, no need to have been raped and mutilated by militias and so on. That was my point. Sorry for not being clear enough.

(also $50K is not for personal expenses, this money have to be proven to be used in US economy as a direct investment. Not just showing that you have $50K to spend on shopping at the mall).

ecopoesis, there are laws and then there is the interpretation of those laws, right? you don't have to be lawyer to see that and i am not one. because there exists a law does not mean it is automatically just and 'right'. laws get changed all the time and examples as this are a good reason to re-evaluate their 'correctness' and discuss in a broader social context the changes that are required.

Thanks! I've fixed that line on the site.

We've spoken to quite a few people that sell digital products online through various channels - most of them were looking for something similar. We also have the need for it ourselves.

But I guess time will tell.
I was going to download and torrent their "ideas" radio show (which has generally great content, I recommend it to anyone), then I realized they were selling CDs of the show at some outrageous price that would cost someone thousands of dollars to listen to the whole thing, and realized they didn't host it out of simply being ignorant that someone might want to listen to it from their mp3 player, but simply because someone made this decision.

There is no case for piracy per se. There IS a case for faster, more efficient distribution models that combine lower costs and wider reach into a more modern operating structure. Such a business model would easily be able to attract rights-holders anyway; copy-rights are not the problem, they are just a symptom. By a lot of measures piracy is just a symptom as well.

Both sides will have to give a little in order to make an alternative business structure possible. For rights-holders this means abiding by shorter copyright terms, compulsory licensing for orphaned works, etc. For pirates this means abiding by actually paying and participating in the system as well as agreeing to the safeguards that reward lawful participation.

If pirates are never willing to accept reasonable safeguards that form the legal structure for their side of the 'agreement', rights-holders can hardly be expected to accept destruction of their own safeguards.
Looking at the amount of utter retardation comparable to youtube comments which people spew on Facebook under their real names is my prime argument against the assertion that enforcing real names has any correlation to the quality of discourse.

Nobody is going to dispute that the immigration laws in the US are draconian. They're a patchwork sown together by various special interests and make very little sense. However, in the past, they were rarely enforced. Only in instances where someone committed a felony or something of that nature. Over the last decade and especially during the Obama administration, ICE stepped up enforcement. If I had to guess, I'd say it's related to the recession? I honestly don't know why.
Ever since Obama came to power American Visa system got fucked up. I work for a consulting firm and people are denied Visa on arbitrary grounds such as "we are not satisfied with your purpose of visit", "why you need to meet your customer face to face" etc.

Even that is fine but funny thing is that same person is allowed visa for the same purpose when he applied next time :)

American under Obama have started some kind of cheap protectionism.
I'm an Australian, currently living in the US on a green card via being married to an American. While I sympathize with his plight and I also strongly believe that when you choose to enter a country, you should respect it's laws. He did willingly come to the US and overstay his visa, so therefore broke US immigration laws. Now I don't necessarily agree with the US immigration process, I believe it's rather tough and unfair not to mention a little demeaning and insensitive.

What do you do though, the immigration system doesn't seem to be set up to handle exceptions. Once you make one, you have to grant exceptions to others. It's a tough dilemna, Atanas has been seemingly a constructive member of society, hopefully paying taxes along the way. It would be a shame in this sense to punish such a person.

Very nice, but is it customizable? Could I set it up myself to say that I'm busy now, and probably won't be able to reply soon, regardless of the amount of e-mail I have in my inbox? Or maybe could it somehow relate to the how many e-mails I have sent/read in the past few hours to understand if I've been going through them? Like "he has been to his inbox for x hours now, so please don't expect a quick answer right now..."
Not to hijack the conversation, but the following line really struck home with me but in a different way:

"Lots of people think they want to start a coffeeshop. They likely don't. That's like buying a minimum wage job for two hundred grand."

This is very similar to what I said about buying a home in Silicon Valley. In the nice areas like Palo Alto, the homes around > $1.5MM. If you don't buy a house in a good school district, you need to spend $1000-2000/month on private school, which is I suppose how the price of the homes in PA got inflated.

Anyway, I told my wife, "If we were to buy a $1.5MM home in PA, first off we need a downpayment, which is roughly 500k. Then, after the triumph of saving half a million, we are rewarded for all our hard work by exchanging this for a 1MM mortgage."

In the same way as the coffee shop example, the economics really need to make sense, otherwise it's a terrible investment. As long as we are living in the Bay Area, we will rent.

Google confirms Android 4.0 ICS is open source
I bought the Kindle when it first out and loved it but never carried it with me, and found it difficult to read at night - so as soon as reader version came out for my Android, I used that and never looked back.

Reading in bed with a smartphone is great because the light does not bother my partner, and after two minutes of my falling asleep, the phone switches off its screen as well. Any bed lamp I use keeps me awake rather than allowing me to fall asleep.

(I know I am the exception as I have been reading on Palm Pilot screens since the late 90s - it was the only way to make sure I could get enough reading time in medical school.)
I think that YC would be better for something about Startups and less about drama and entertainment. I always liked the importance of space that YC has, and that people don't work in an incubator environment. I would think you could make a quality documentary that doesn't have that reality show flare.
I am convinced the economic climate plays at least some part into it. How big of a part, I am not sure. But looking at the history of all kinds of countries, you can see that when there are issues like high unemployment rate, then the sentiment towards foreigners tends to not be the most welcomeing.

Also the worse the situation, the more radical the actions to turn it around will be - no matter if those actions actually help or make it worse.

There's a different approach to DDG, which emphasises having a set of trusted sources rather than a powerful whole-web analysis as Google does. DDG often misses the wanted result, but often gives the result much higher up than Google.

I use Google more than I do DDG, but I use DDG enough that I miss the DDG shortcuts quite a bit when using Google: I recommend spending more time with DDG. The !hn shortcut, for instance, is quite useful around here.

There is a Chrome extension that allow DDG searches while keeping Google as your default:

What I'd like to see is a DDG/Google search toggle, or a pop-up selector such as Firefox has.
There's speculation that Apple has been looking into using TSMC to source their next generation A6. Apple would have to port the IC designs to be compatible with the TSMC process which would take some time but is entirely doable with the chip design team they've built up. Although there has been reports that TSMC has been having trouble with quality issues on the 28 nm process which is why we might see Samsung manufacturing Apple's SOCs for a while.

However, on the inside, corp Buzz was lively, and there were a great many Yegge-rant-type posts flying around earlier this year. They didn't get much done, given that G+ launched with the whole real names fiasco, even after an unprecedented amount of push-back from inside.

I took a course with Clark Glymour when he was visiting my school. His speciality is trying to determine if we can infer causation. (See: http://www.hss.cmu.edu/philosophy/faculty-glymour.php)

At one point, the administration at CMU came to him and asked if he could figure out what was the best predictor of students finishing college. (Or it might have been just freshmen year. It's been a few years since that course.) He had access to all of CMU's data on students. The result: SAT scores.

Whether or not the SAT itself is a predictor of actual intelligence is besides the point.

It's "get tough" politics. Unions donate billions to Democrats, and they are unhappy with immigration in many industries. (ie. Meat packing, whose union membership has declined dramatically as a result of companies being allowed to exploit undocumented labor.) On the other side, you have conservatives, who are always up in arms about the immigration "crisis". These folks are balanced by the business-focused republicans, who need immigrants to make money.

The end result? Instead of allowing legitimized, orderly immigration from Mexico and Central America, we pretend that that it isn't happening, and then spend billions on needless social services and draconian law enforcement.

Both sets of my grandparents were immigrants to the United States from Ireland. On my mother's side, my grandfather had a 7th grade education (common in rural Ireland) and my grandmother was pregnant when they immigrated here after WW2. All they needed to do was scrape together a few buck and fill out some forms, and they arrived in New York as legitimate resident aliens, able to get jobs and function fully in society.

Today, my grandparents would be accused of moving here to give birth to an "anchor baby" and would probably be here illegally, unless they won one of the elusive green card lottery slots.

>There is no case for piracy per se.

You are right. However - at least for me - it was never about making a case for piracy. It was making a case against copyright. Piracy is merely (as you point out yourself) a symptom, a consequence. The true cause is the completely absurd concept of copyright, the notion that you can own ideas, and the abstruse line of argument that correlates existence of art and innovation to the restriction of distribution and usage thereof.

I've talked to many current and ex-NFL players at the gym and while the league has problems, fixing games is not one of them. When you're dealing at that level of talent small edges can mean big things. The emotional edge that one team has like in your examples can often push them to be just a bit better than other side. This is even more important when talking about a Super Bowl where both teams are evenly matched talent wise. In general the emotional/mental side of football is often way underrated.

Thing is, you show a couple of examples that are easily coincidences while there are many many counter examples. One big recent one is first super bowl in the new Texas stadium where the Cowboys were picked early season to go there and win. I don't even think they made the playoffs that year.

Are there countries where this is possible?

The author used a low margin, low sucess business example to make a point about what mindset someone should be in to successfully run a business. You took from that the message that anything enjoyable is not sustainable.

I married my wife overseas in 2007. In 2008 we applied for immigration at a US embassy (I sponsored her as my spouse), waited a couple of months, and received an appointment date. My wife was granted a visa at the appointment. I made a comment during the interview on how the process was so painless and the consulate basically said, "well, you guys are married". 3 years later, she is a US citizen. I think the fiancee visa route plays second fiddle to family immigration. That and maybe the Buenos Aires consulate needs to get their act together. It's a shame you spent so much money on lawyers as well :| Good luck to you...you may want to try again now that you are married.
Is that surprising or peculiar to the USA? Is it easy to become a citizen of Japan, or Germany? It is a general pattern that highly desirable destinations to live eventually fill up (by some metric chosen by the insiders) and close borders or are made undesirable.
