Thanks Peter for doing this. I have a question regarding the EB1A category. I recently received my I140 under EB2 category. I was wondering if I can apply for another I140 under EB1A category. My question is if I get rejected under EB1A do I keep my existing priority date (EB2) ? Also what are the chances of getting approval on EB2 to EB1? Thanks


Yes, you can file another (EB1A) I-140 petition and it's denial would have no bearing on your already-approved EB2 I-140 petition and priority date. Regarding your chances of success, it's impossible to say without knowing your background.


how?


I am in same boat. There is a YC startup simplelegal that is trying to do this. But startups can't fix main issues with the immigration.


SimpleLegal is not working on immigration. You may be thinking of Simplecitizen. Teleborder also tried. Along with many other non-YC companies. It's not a easy problem.

Well for its worth my experience interviewing for the data team there was terrible. A long coding exercise that when submitted resulted in a 7 day wait and a 2 liner email. Wouldn't recommend.


What surprises me the most about the Slack's job page is that most — if not all — the positions are on-site. It surprises me because most of the companies that I know are remote-friendly use Slack as their main communication method, so I would expect Slack itself to have some remote positions just for the Dogfooding [1]. I have applied 3 times for a regular SDE position there and two times I was rejected because I was not (permanently) living in the US, the 3rd time I got no response while staying in NYC.

This article talks about that specifically: http://readwrite.com/2014/11/06/slack-office-communication-p...

An excerpt...

Which raises the question: With such a good tool for team communication, why does Slack need an office? Why not do all your work virtually?

Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield gives product manager Mat Mullen advice, and a ukulele serenade. “There are some conversations that are much easier in person,” says Brady Archambo, Slack’s head of iOS engineering.


Revealing.


oh ok.. then maybe credit card transactions if they dont buy it with cash instead


These aren't clear either. Is that $1000 At Guns R' Us a rifle, or bulk ammo? Is that $25,000 at Guns, Fishing and Other Stuff a rifle with fancy inlay or a new fishing boat.


thats why i used both causation and correlation. Correlation probably doesnt help here but until the model is built you can't really tell right?


not sure why i got a down vote for this


to add, there is also training data available in form of people who have committed shootings or have any crime record. its then just about feature selection that could prove some causation or correlation


what do you mean by "training data"?


in machine learning we could use some supervised technique if we have training data instead of unsupervised. sorry for not being clear


what I thought, just making sure.


forgot Ask HN, can someone edit the title ?


I am pretty excited about cockroachDb. Its still in beta so not suggested for production use yet, but its being designed pretty carefully and by a great team.. check them out cockroachlabs.com


i agree. that was part of the inspiration behind https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11441183 . I am making progress on the product but primarily i think linkedin is biased towards serving recruiters better than users.

At the very least there should be a way to filter out good recruiters from the bad ones. I hate to say but more like a review system where you can rate your interaction with a recruiter.
