As a tech entrepreneur and global itinerant, I'd love immigration laws around the world to be more lax, but please...

"One of the 20 Hot Silicon Valley Startups You Need to Watch"

If this were true, I think there'd be more of a case. But remember there are other people in this world aside from tech entrepreneurs. Some of them are in pretty horrid situations and seek asylum.

Assuming the US has an intake quota and that intake quota is divided between reasons for immigration, then proponents of the Startup Visa are petitioning that other seekers of asylum or immigration take a back seat. I absolutely support this to an extent, but do we want them to deny all non-tech immigrants for every kid with a website?

At what point does a startup deserve to take someone else's place in the queue. And I'm well aware that politicians hate to concede there's a queue, but of course there is.
I'm pretty certain the UI does matter to more than you make out. I just don't think they know how to express it. From what I've seen, getting the UI right is half the battle--look at MySpace vs Facebook.

Though I am certainly seeing where you're coming from with second part. It is a hassle that I don't think most would embark upon. I don't know but it seems switching emails could be a problem that needs solving. There certainly are ways I can think of that would make this easier.
I think the stupid joke is in the 2006-2005.
1) It does support PEAR, it's listed on http://packagist.org/about-composer

2) PHP5.3, well, so be it. The people stuck in the past are usually not the ones willing to take the plunge into such solution anyway. They can join us when they are ready.

3) Not yet, but we do have some plans for that.

4) You shouldn't commit your vendor dir, you should commit the composer.lock file, which allows anyone to re-install exactly the same version of the dependencies anywhere. And yes this is similar to Bundler as far as I understand it.

5) We also have plans for that, see https://github.com/composer/composer/issues/57 - but this depends on other features that we need to finish first.
"So, this guy started working before he had his visa? Even worse he started a job that required personal, non-refundable investments of time and money."

Have you read the requirements of an E2 Investor Visa? You have to:

* Set the company up (register your C-Corp/LLC, etc)

* Invest/put a large amount of money at risk

* Employ staff

BEFORE you apply for the visa itself.

'Gift' is a word I wish I saw more often in the vicinity of 'open source'. I love open source software. I love that there can be a community around any project, no matter how small. It's a powerful philosophy.

But I wish more people would understand the differences between 'free' and 'open source'. Open source software is not free. Huge companies invest millions of dollars into open source projects that you probably use. Time is money.

Looking at is as a gift not only makes you understand the generosity with which the author(s) has open sourced their code, but when I think about it like that I see that there are real people behind the code and that they should be treated as such.

A good lesson.

They may have done this also, and I have no idea who was first, but Facebook definitely did this as well. (In particular, I've never used LinkedIn.)
Actually, there's a bunch of 'visa slack,' since the 10,000 limit for the EB-5 investor visas generally only sees 1-2000 successful applications. What the primary Startup Visa bills call for is to take those unused EB-5 visas and make them available to founders.

The argument is that sweat equity should be equivalent in some way to cash money investment, which is what the EB-5 represents.

Likewise, we don't have a full life to judge Bill Gates by.

As both of them are of the same age (actually Bill is younger in terms of months), it is a perfectly valid comparison as to how far both men had come at this particular stage in their lives (56 years), so why should the writer judge the Bill Gates of 10 years ago (at 46 years) and compare it with the late Steve Jobs (at 56 years)
In grad school, my office had an ordinary Edison incandescent bulb, kept on 24/7. Being probability nerds, we kept statistics on when it burned out. We had been expecting something like an exponential, or a bathtub, but it was much closer to Gaussian, with a mean lifetime around 1 month and (rough) standard deviation on the order of a few days.

True. But still, you can just set your privacy options to only share this stuff with first-level friends.

The real problem with Facebook is that they collect data about you, without you being able to control that data. Everything that people have in their smartphones about you, or that other people add about you on Facebook by other means (uploaded email address books, etc) is agregated into "your" profile, even if you don't actually have a profile on Facebook.

Those aren't logos -- that's just type with a series of second rate photoshop (or rather Gimp) filter effects. A logo actually communicates something about a brand -- a process that actually requires some thought, good taste and yes some talent.

If you don't see the relevance of articles like this tgen you're probably in the wrong place. Sorry.
The central argument holds: a machine process implemented in hardware is in essence no different from one implemented in software.

But you can drive that argument in two directions.

1. The hardware invention is patentable therefore the software invention should be patentable.

2. The software invention is unpatentable therefore the hardware invention should be unpatentable.

Because it suits his purposes, the author article opts for the former.
Err, I agree with much of your "I disagree" paragraph. Maybe you should re-read my previous comments.

I don't loathe C nearly as much as C++. I understand that learning about low level is useful. Pointers are indeed a very important concept (though not so difficult once you understand that variables themselves are already a form of indirection). So is Manual memory management.

But if you are tempted to put C++ in the same basket, don't. C++ is a very very different language from C. Sure, it looks like it just has some additional features here and there, but those features make C++ practices very different from C ones.

It's funny how often software is priced according to the anticipated support burden, but users feel entitled to support regardless of the price. I once worked at a financial analytics software company and our end users were non-technical, but paid about 2K a month for a username and password, and very often the users were kind and apologetic in their support requests. I also have a personal software product that costs $5/mo with a free trial, and many people trialing it are quite impatient and high maintenance. My take-away: if you are setting yourself up for an end-user support role, make sure it's priced accordingly.
Thank you, that helped a lot. Here's my version if anyone is interested...

3) Removed the "Home", "All Items" and "Explore" links (I never use them and just wanted it clean)

In eastern Europe there are plenty of cases of alcohol overdose resulting in death. On the other hand, there are no credible reports of marijuana or LSD being the direct cause of death.

Sure, alcohol is far less harmful than some of the illegal controlled substances. Still, there are other illegal substances which are less harmful than alcohol. It's not like ethanol is the safest drug out there.
Agreed, this was my same thinking when I was in the USA until 2008. Sure, my employer and my wife's both offered to get us a green card, but why wait? I had applied to YC earlier that year with an idea for a start-up that was based on my living in DC and was turned down. I went back to the UK, applied with a different idea that was more appropriate to the UK / Europe. That got funded by Seedcamp, and off we went.

I have no doubt that the USA / SV is a great place to start a company, but why waste your life trying to satisfy government bureaucrats that you should be allowed in when there are plenty of other places that want you?

If you are European, you can move to any of the hubs like London or Berlin. They might not be as brilliant as SV, but they have their own advantages, and the key for an entrepreneur is to get down and make use of these advantages. Folks in the Persian Gulf (I am from Bahrain) can move to any of the hubs there like Dubai or Bahrain, and there are plenty of gaps in the market that an entrepreneur can fill by starting a company. And of course the BRIC countries have huge growth for their own nationals to ride.

So why go through the headaches of government immigration?

(PS I am really sorry for entrepreneur that this story describes. I just hope fewer people have to go through that fate.)
The problem with linux is that nobody owns responsibility for making the whole man system good.

Linux kernel stuff is covered by the linux man project. This is run by Kerrisk, who is a good communicator - _The Linux Programming Interface_ reads like Stevens but is richer in practical advice.

But if you go to the man page for something like awk or bash or grep (the common use-case - where you need a quick reference), they're maintained by the team who write the tool, or - often enough - not maintained by the team. There are undocumented flags, often the doc only tends to make sense if you already understand the internals of the tool. GNU tool man pages are generally obtuse.

BSD and plan 9 have much better man systems. Unless a linux distribution comes along and makes a conscious effort to solve GNU/linux doc, the man system available to linux users will always suck - it's structural.

I note that the biggest mistake probably comes from C itself. If only it had chosen for assignment a syntax such as :

x <- 5;

It would be more clear that "the shit on the right" goes to that garbage on the left. But no, they had to use the `=` sign, as if saving one character where more important than not changing the meaning of one of the most used sign of all mathematics. And now nearly all popular language is making the same damn mistake.

In my experience, the better CEOs have vision, execution, charisma, massive egos, luck, high paranoia, no problem with selling out their mother to further their business and decisiveness or more bluntly, balls.

Gates, Jobs and Zuckerburg possess all those qualities in varying levels.

It's these things that let them do things that most people might view 'insane' today but in retrospect will be viewed as 'awesome'.

There are plenty of examples in history, and Zuckerburg's best one is probably turning down a billion dollars for Facebook in the beginning.

He had the vision, massive ego and balls to say No.

True. It's important to know when to stop something. Sometimes the project just isn't worth your time anymore
>Fascinating article. Maybe I'm old, but I remember when TraceMonkey was the wave of the future that was going to outperform everything, not a hairball they'll be glad to see the back of.

I remember this too. It seems not so long ago I was reading benchmarks on shaver's blog demonstrating TraceMonkey's performance as largely comparable to the then-new V8. I agree that is kind of weird to hear that people hate the code and that Mozilla is throwing it out already.

I have perhaps not kept super informed on Firefox's JS internals, just reading a stray article here and there, but it raises some concerning questions for me that something that was brand shiny new and a major development effort just a few years ago would be discarded as a "hairball" that no one wants to maintain anymore. I can understand how that can happen in a reasonable environment, but it can also be a sign of a seriously flawed process.
"I want to be that go-to person, that expert, that guy who Gets Shit Done."

I have a few bad experiences with "the guy who gets things done".

There's an old saying that the last 10% of the work takes 90% of the time.

If you stop after the first 90% (or why not at 80%?) and jump to the next exciting project, you will be percieved as very productive. And because you don't put in the time to properly document things, you'll be the only one who knows it all and you'll be percieved to be a guru who knows everything.

Sure, it might not work perfectly, but it's only minor flaws that someone else can fix. Right? You're too busy being productive in your new project, leaving a mess for people to maintain in there.

And it works. Your managers see you as the go-to guy. You will get things done. And the fact that people then spend ages of time to patch your work just proves how much more efficient and better than them you are.

Yeah, you probably guessed it: I spent the day yesterday cleaning up someone elses unmaintainable, undocumented mess. Someone who is now working on a new project.

I don't see what makes the tivoization clause a nuisance for business. I think it's a misconception, like the idea that software patents are good for anybody but lawyers and trolls.
