This looks super-cool, too bad I don't have expertise in Metal/3D graphics.

I was always curious how someone with a developer/freelancer background transitions to product management or developer evangelist roles? Wouldn't it be more reasonable to do this transition internally rather than as a new hire?

Wouldn't publishers rather prefer if people paid for a subscription rather than shoving ads onto them? I think the real issue is that most users are not willing to pay for quality content. Instead, journalists are forced to produce click-bait junk that would give them lots of clicks and ad revenue. Am I missing some part of the picture here?

The has recently been a controversy with Patreon removing some content creators accusing them of "hate speech". Here is a pretty comprehensive summary: https://podnews.net/update/patreon-controversy

NYTimes is also actively fighting against the use of the adblockers.

I think the way to go is directly supporting Podcast makers (outside of the platforms like Patreon who have dubious censoring practices). The ad-based model is inherently flawed and luckily it seems that most podcasts providing valuable content are moving away from it.

How would you go about finding a salesperson?

If anything it seems that to be successful at freelancing you need to specialize even more compared to a traditional job. Otherwise, your skills would become a commodity in a market saturated with "web developers".

I meant it mostly in a sense of maximizing financial rewards by producing goods and services rewarded by the market. This activity may or may not overlap with what you enjoy doing. A typical example would be working in finance vs making art.

My biggest issue with 80,000 hours is that it's a rational, but radically uninspiring advice in the end. It is a framework for those who buy into "don't follow your passion advice", and try to maximize their utility function instead.

Then, of course, the challenge is to identify overlooked problems which actually are real problems and therefore worth solving. It's easy to succumb to a fallacy of thinking that if no one else is working on a problem it's not a real problem or is not worth solving.

Surely it meant to say, $10/year for domain registration? Either way, this is still nonsense. Besides App Store developer license can be reused for other apps and comes with other additional benefits.

No, H1B visa has a lottery in April, which E3 doesn't have as far as I know.

Disclaimer: the book might provoke a latent obsessive-compulsive relationship to doors.

My guess would be SLC6A15 gene (check for rs1545843 and rs1031681 SNPs). (A;A) is a "bad version".

Are you open to remote developers?

Are you open to remote hires?

What harm has it caused exactly?

I agree, the only advantage of this site it up-to-date data and detailed requirements based on your travel itinerary and passport/residence.

With visa requirements there are a lot of details involved, it's not as simple as nationality -> visa requirements mapping.

I recommend using Timatic, through one of the interfaces, like https://www.traveldoc.aero

This is what industry professionals use to check if you are eligible to board a flight.

I felt that the course was too long to cover just a few topics like spaced repetition and diffuse mode. Besides those key takeaways are pretty intuitive.

Technically you need a registered company to "sponsor" you, but it can be your own company, where you are CEO and have 100% ownership. In the end, it's just a formality, the visa is granted on a personal basis. Compared to H1B where USCIS relies on a company to establish your credibility as a skilled worker, with O-1 they evaluate credibility themselves via multiple factors mostly involving peer validation (i.e. publications, articles, etc).

So yes, technically you need a job offer for O-1, but it's just a formality. Personally, I agree that it doesn't make much rational sense either, but then again barely anything makes sense when it comes to (US) immigration laws.

It appears that this change would only benefit holders of advanced degrees from US universities, and make the situation worse for highly skilled immigrants in general.

This already exists - the O-1 visa. EB1 is a green card type, you are confusing visas with residency permits here.

appears to be down?

It's an oversimplification to think that depression is caused by low serotonin levels. As far as we currently know psychedelics affect neurotransmitters in a certain way, but it doesn't work like an SSRI for example. I think what's really promising is psychedelic-assisted therapy to tackle underlying causes rather than treating symptoms.

I found that on the other hand that frequent commentary allowed me to focus better and get back on track when I got distracted by a thought.

> In the modern world, top engineers can band together, raise VC funding, build some stupid app and get acqui-hired for 5-10x the salary.

Can you give some examples of that actually happening? I'm a bit skeptical it's that easy.

That was just TED talk style marketing fluff.

Lots of people tried to tackle this problem before, what's your unique take on it?
