I totally agree with you and that's why I started https://github.com/slicebuild

The project is only month and a half long so if you want I can talk you through privately

So, after reading all of the comments and some of the links and not being a lawyer, nor YC founder and residing outside of the US and just been there once on B1...

The plan:

* get to the US first on B1, quite easy to get and relatively applicable for YC

* while there, set up a US company and open a branch in your own country and make it to employ you officially

* continue to investigate your options and if young file for J1 (internship) or if older file for O1 (achievements) with references from other founders/VCs

* don't mess with H1B

* worst case scenario if you didn't apply for other kinds of VISA - leave the US and come back periodically on B1 if need be and continue to be employed in your home country by a branch of your company in the US. after a year or so apply for L1 (inter-company transfer) which is almost automatic to get and allows the spouse to work too.

If I write open-source code while on the tourist trip to the US does it count as 'working'? I understand you're not giving advice, just curious

Sure. With the true AI around the horizon if you wait long enough you won't have to figure anything - it will do it for you.

You can keep transactions in one part of the system and the queries in another. CQRS as one example.

It totally makes sense to have separate libraries even for one project if they can be implemented by different people and tested separately. I'd shout for that design any time of the moon.

>> that really requires a lot of thought

Yes, sure, but that's the resources spent right. Not the monolithic spaghetti crap you waste time on trying to figure out what went wrong - 99% businesses everyday activity

That's exactly what happened to the UI when Windows 95 came out. The guidelines and frameworks made all Windows apps look similar, and for nearly 20 years this stays the same, just improving here and there but in line with the rules.

This is great for 'normal' people when they try to use everyday apps. I've never heard anyone to complain that desktop apps are boring. If they work - everyone's happy.

What the article is describing is the birth of the everyday web, where people go to do stuff. I still struggle on many websites and I'd like more standartization, not less!

Make every mail app be alike, with some unimportant differences, please.

.net is good to me

This front-end db should be separate of the UI/navigation. So, not Meteor

it's difficult to call github a startup by any means.

4sq and Twitter could be startups - I'm not sure if they found a business model or not.

With each next article about React (and more generally javascript) it's more apparent that the final result is a mongo/rethink like db in the front-end with a transparent sync to the server

"startup" is well defined if you care to think about it - it's an entity looking to find a working business model.

once the model is established, whatever is the size of the entity and the turnover, it's no longer a startup, unless it pivots of course.

this definition rules out all stupid scenarios.

Not before we get a chip inside. Then it will connect us to "the matrix".

It was easier for me - I just needed to ring my parents and collect cash at the post office.

But I kept the tradition going - first telling mom and dad how I'm getting well along with studies!

Great times

Except they will deal with hardware anyway - there are about several thousand different devices in our offices. How difficult is it to get another 2 admins - and two could be enough in the modern world of everything automated.

“No one should travel who does not desire hardship, trouble, tribulation and risk of death.”

c'mmon, this is 2015!

It may well be so that companies will run their private clouds on the colocated servers. What wins in that case?

> main victims of this law in the future

they've got access to the market and they need to pay for it this way or another.

still better than the Chinese way of banning them altogether.

But you can fall into the same trap trying to build a 50 mln business? This is merely a difference between going on a natural growth vs speeding up with investor money, it's irrelevant to the company size unless you're tiny?

The article doesn't hint how to decide when not to fuse capital in, other than discriminating by the projected growth.

This is 2015. Noone goes and say they gonna sell dog food to every person on the planet? Obvious.

But then it lists the VC who don't think so... Puzzled

The thing is - you can't by any means start building a billion dollar business just by deciding to do so.

Take google - attempted to sell at 100 mln

Take facebook - was in-college network

Take airbnb - struggled along for many years

What this article is trying to convey?

>It is all about money laundering

If this is true, then they need to learn about software - doing a fake project to build a new government website is a much easier laundering effort. And foreign hackers are always there to be blamed for the system not working!

The article was in 2014

Why didn't he say that ReactJs is in the early stages and is "only" for the enthusiasts, thus, not for stupid!

Isn't Rust the next C?

True, but americans are blind to this sort of 'non-democratic' truth.

What model do you think drives Open Source?

And what's that the china people will learn about other countries would make them act differently to the last 5000 years?
