Yes I do.

Is it just me or the fact that Dagster has one of their competitors Mage.ai listed here as a repo with around 15% of fake stars seems like an odd coincidence?

Ask HN: Anyone Interested in Being a Mentor?

Merry Christmas HN! Been a long time lurker and HN is one of the reasons I changed careers to tech at a not so young age :)I’m still pretty new to tech but I would love to connect and learn from someone in the industry who’s willing to mentor me on how to navigate this path. I’m a data engineer. This could just mean a call every couple of months and be patient with me asking questions:)Thanks...

Re:My ADHD Founder Toolbox on Thursday November 17, 2022 @08:55AM (#33638884)
oh man, i'm in my 30s and this is exactly how my daily life is. I grew up in a culture that didn't have much of an inclination of understanding what ADHD is and stuff, so I never bothered. I really need to get myself checked.
Yes I am
Re:Felt on Tuesday July 05, 2022 @09:40AM (#31988081)
definitely agree to this. And one segment that they could (should) definitely get customers are those who use ArcGIS. As someone who previously worked in oil & gas, the tax that these companies pay to Arc for all their mapping data is just crazy. I've always wondered why there isn't a solid tech company that could build a product that could take over Arc's business. Looking forward to Felt!
Re:Ask HN: Visa Required on Work at a Startup? on Monday May 31, 2021 @03:13PM (#27347246)
thank you!

Ask HN: Visa Required on Work at a Startup?

What does it mean when a job posting on the Work at a Startup says Visa Required? Does it mean that the applicant needs a visa to be considered? Or am I reading it wrong.For context, I'm a recent bootcamp grad and am interested in working at startups but I'm currently on an H1-B visa.My apologies if this isn't obvious as English is not my first language.

Re:BR Shetty: The rise and fall of a billionaire on Sunday April 26, 2020 @06:46PM (#22990978)
Having grown up in the United Arab Emirates in the 90s, I've personally seen the growth of NMC / UAE Exchange along with other firms (GEMS Education Group, the Lulu Group, Danube etc.) that are giant corporate entities. This story arc isn't going to be the last of what we see from firms that saw such growth. One of the biggest hurdles with such firms listing in public stock markets internationally is the lack of corporate accountability / governance in their home markets. As much as I'd hate to say it, building and growing companies in tax havens such as Dubai helps them only to develop corporate cultures to brush off problems under the rug that come to bite them later. Because they don't have to pay taxes, there isn't a government entity they need to be held accountable to. One of the few reasons where having an income / corporate tax system might just help public shareholders. As always, this is all anecdotal.
hah! but this is a very interesting area. You're right on the auto-summarizing issue becoming a problem these days with the usage of larger datasets. Data versioning also is starting to become a larger problem and I saw that you guys already have addressed it in your enterprise product. Hoping to see some sort of API-like version for comparison of data troves from different timelines in the future.
very cool product! I've worked on much smaller datasets with pandas and their inbuilt profiling report method can slow things down to a crawl!. Hoping to see more from you guys :)
The irony here is amazing. Woz built the Apple I while being employed by HP and now Apple making sure that doesn't happen again.
Re:U.S. Changes Visa Process for High-Skilled Workers on Thursday January 31, 2019 @02:03PM (#19047661)
Actually Elon Musk did file for an H1-B when he quit Stanford to start Zip2.
IANAL, but once your new firm applies for the new H1B petition (the H1B transfer is technically not a transfer, but a new H1B petition itself that is not subject to the cap), and you receive the receipt of your notice (usually take 2-3 weeks), you can start working for your new firm. There's no requirement to wait until it gets approved.
Hi Peter!, first off, just wanted to say thanks for all the help you provide here! Its nothing short of amazing!

I'm currently on an H1B, but I'd like to set up an ecommerce store with a friend. I understand that itself may not have enough grounds to get an O1 visa. Is there any other workaround for this scenario?

Re:It’s Not a Startup Visa, but It’s Close on Friday October 28, 2016 @01:20PM (#12818367)
I'm a bit confused here. Does one have to be in the US and start a company to be provided with a parole status as per this rule? Or all of the requirements that are listed here need to be done while being outside the United States after which a parole will be granted if the requirements are met.
Re:India's Plan to Bring Digital Banking to 1.2B People on Saturday April 16, 2016 @05:31PM (#11512329)
I'll disagree with the fact that multinationals like Unilever and P&G start producing and marketing sachets in India. This was pioneered by an Indian entrepreneur Chinni Krishnan[1]. These firms just ended up copying their business model.
