user-on1··on Ask HN: Xray cost – USA $200 (13000 INR), India 1000 INR – what causes 10x diff?
> spends a quarter of its massive GDP on healthcare.

isn't most of it for wasteful reasons.

>There are many things wrong with our system

Many people are saying this often, seems like people have just surrendered and submitted themselves to organized skillful abuse by such systems. Wish we have more cumulative willpower than present.

Sounds like we are paying so much money for a for a big lie.

Would you buy coca cola if it costs $15 in usa?
user-on1··on What would you do if you get a basic income of $2500 every month for 1 year
The ultimate goal of UBI doesn't seem like giving free money, it is freeing an individual's time which one used to spend in making up for basic needs and giving freedom to do more useful stuff which will have a greater impact beyond one's family.

What if one doesn't have the job one has at present?

user-on1··on What would you do if you get a basic income of $2500 every month for 1 year
I think being time linked is a good approach. Given one year time and free resources one would be expected to utilize that time and come up with ways to generate value using which life can be sustained after that one year.

Like in that one year work on building a product or service which will make $2500 or more every month so that after one year one can live on that.

That will be a healthy output.

user-on1··on Isn't it a good thing for everyone if Google has Monopoly?
Speaking of monopoly in general may be out of scope of this post. But If Google can attain Monopoy wouldnt it do more good. Alphabet can be making 10x more revenue if they start charging for all the service they provie, but they seem to be happy with making reasonable profit which in their case ended up being huge. The leadership of the organization which attains monopoly is key here.

Where would you invest?
user-on1··on Process for a Person on H1B to Startup
Can A have 100% ownership and incorporate a COMPANY and then assign BOD to COMPANY Where BOD have control over A but no ownership in company?

In this config can A just hire a employee D and pay him minimum wage according to DOL.

Would this setup work?

100% equity would mean A would have 100% control right?

Then nobody can fire A. Hence 49%.

Can one be hired as a CEO or CTO?

Does that count as an employee?

If one is a software developer at present in current petition can such person transfer his H1B to a role of CTO?

Are there any challenges in this?

user-on1··on Process for a Person on H1B to Startup
Yes all of you are correct, but a larger issue is at the least there needs to be some working process in place. Ones we know that a working process is in place, then we can look into it and see how to take next steps however complicated they may be. I see here there are questions about few steps but you think the overall steps make any sense or no?
user-on1··on Process for a Person on H1B to Startup
Also if step 12 happens, (successful meaning more that 25 Million Valuation) i would believe one need not put lot of emphasis on steps after that.

I understand the timeline for EB2 and EB3, but for Startup based visas like O1A, EB5, others if any isn't the timeline less for China and India?

So on H1B one can create an android app and upload to play store? If it is just for learning purpose and not going to derive any value?

5. B & C finished building a MVP or SLC PRODUCT.

6. B & C apply for VC Fund.

7. B & C get X fund from Z.

8. B & C incorporate a COMPANY.

9. COMPANY sponsors H1B for A and hires A as co-founder.

10. A joins COMPANY.

11. A & B & C continue building their PRODUCT.

13. A applies for STARTUP based Visa.

Kindly tweak or update to fix any mistake in this process. I think it will be of great help to many and benefit everyone.

Thanks for doing this Peter.

I came across a rule like this.

On h1b one has to get income only from visa sponsor and not from any other source.

What is the logic behind this rule? How does this benefit anybody? How does this impact anybody?

Does this rule mean after office hours one cannot even write a blog and make additional income using adsense?

user-on1··on Engineer whose blog post caused a storm at Uber has filed a Supreme Court brief
Wherever arbitration is used seems like is just 100% bad for customers and 90% good for any business. If a big player steps in and cleans this up before more people suffer from it, it may win UNLIMITED CUSTOMER'S HEARTS and INFINITE ATTENTION.
user-on1··on Ask HN: What were the biggest challenges when you started to code?
Initial Setup is one of the challenges. If one can solve that step 1 it become easy for few more steps to take. Beyond that it depends on how complicated the implementation is and it gets equally challenging.

Ok thank you, that is a good news. If i support a non profit in raising 1 Million Dollars can i add that in my resume saying "Supported a Non Profit Organization In Fund Raising Nearly 1 Million Dollars"? or will this raise some flags?
user-on1··on I'm Peter Roberts, immigration attorney who does work for YC and startups. AMA
Hi Peter,

If an individual has 8 years of software development experience and 7 patents, what are his chances of getting through EB1A.

user-on1··on I'm Peter Roberts, immigration attorney who does work for YC and startups. AMA
Hi Peter,

Can an individual on H1B

- Volunteer for a non profit organization - Mentor an individual assigned by non profit organization in studies like maths, computer science etc,. or extra curricular activities like drawing, coding hackathons, tennis etc,. - Help in fundraising for a non profit.

Kindly advice.

Thanks.
